Nigerian Woman Explains Spiritual Calling to Marry Autistic Church Member
A Nigerian woman who volunteered to marry an autistic member of the Omega Power Ministry has publicly shared the deeply personal and spiritual conviction that led to her unexpected decision. Her explanation comes after mixed reactions followed news of the marriage on social media platforms.
Divine Instruction During the Night
In a video shared by Instagram account @gossipmillnaija, the woman detailed how everything transpired. She explained that as a member of Omega Power Ministry, she initially paid little attention when the church's General Overseer announced the search for a wife for the autistic man.
"When daddy made this announcement last week, I didn't put any interest. Not knowing God has a purpose for me," she recalled.
The situation changed dramatically about three days later when she experienced what she believed to be a direct spiritual order from God during the night. "So it was about three days ago, I wanted to sleep, and the spirit of God woke me up. 'Get up, my daughter, go and fulfill what I asked you to do,'" she recounted.
Overcoming Initial Hesitation
The woman admitted feeling hesitant at first, struggling internally before eventually accepting what she believed was a spiritual assignment. She revealed that she had previously received several marriage proposals but had chosen to remain unmarried because of a vow she made to dedicate herself completely to God until receiving clear direction about a husband.
"I am a beautiful woman. People have been coming for my hand in marriage, but because I told doctor Jesus, 'My body is for you,' I will not defy this body until you give me my husband," she explained. "If you did not give me, I will serve you; if you give me, I will serve you. It is a vow I made."
A Sacrifice of Faith
Her decision, she emphasized, came from the belief that fulfilling this instruction formed part of her religious commitment and obedience to God. After reaching that conclusion, she immediately contacted the church leadership to inform them of her intention to step forward.
"And again, when that spirit told me, immediately I texted daddy, I also texted mommy welfare, and I told her, 'Yes, I will be the one. I want to pay that sacrifice,'" she said. "It is a sacrifice; it is a very big sacrifice. When I look at our Lord Jesus Christ, the sacrifice he paid on the cross of Calvary, nothing is too big for me to do the same for our Lord Jesus Christ."
She described the autistic man as "a child of God, an adopted child of daddy, our daddy GO," and committed to caring for him "as a son, as my king, as a husband, as a brother."
Mixed Reactions from Nigerians
The video sparked diverse reactions from Nigerians in the comments section, reflecting the complexity of the situation.
