“STINGINESS BROKE HIS MARRIAGE PLANS”: Apostle Suleman Reveals How In-Law Rejected His Protocol Officer

Apostle Johnson Suleman, the Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, has stirred conversations after sharing a gripping story about how stinginess shattered the marriage dreams of one of his church workers.

Preaching during a recent service, the fiery cleric first offered heartfelt prayers for parents worried about their grown but unmarried children. He declared that such children would not fall into wrong relationships, a prayer that drew thunderous applause from the congregation.

But what followed was a sobering real-life example.

The preacher recounted how a young man serving in the church’s protocol department had his marital hopes dashed when the father of his intended bride abruptly rejected him.

According to Suleman, the distraught young man confided in him, saying the bride’s father had suddenly withdrawn approval. “‘This relationship is over,’ the man told his daughter. He warned her never to be seen with the brother again,” the pastor narrated.

Curious to know the reason behind such a drastic decision, Suleman personally reached out to the prospective father-in-law. To his astonishment, the man’s main complaint was not about character flaws or religious differences—it was about generosity.

“He told me, ‘This young man comes to my house, eats our food, but has never once come with even a loaf of bread.’ He said the brother lacked courtesy and was too stingy,” Suleman revealed.

The pastor used the incident to stress the hidden yet powerful role that family expectations and cultural values play in marriage decisions. He reminded his audience that successful relationships require not just love but also the willingness to give, share, and respect family traditions.

“Sometimes, it’s not just about spirituality or being a church leader,” Suleman warned. “It’s also about the small things people observe. A loaf of bread may seem little, but it speaks volumes about courtesy and generosity.”

The story has since sparked debates among Christians and social commentators, with many noting that in-laws often weigh character traits—especially generosity—before giving their blessings in marital affairs.
