Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo Launches Christian Matchmaking Platform With ₦700,000 VIP Plan
Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has launched Mentor To Marry, a Christian marriage-preparation and matchmaking platform designed to help Christian singles aged 25 and above prepare for marriage and connect with potential partners.
Unlike conventional dating platforms that may focus primarily on finding matches, Mentor To Marry places mentorship and marriage preparation before matchmaking. Participants are expected to undergo an eight-week mentoring programme, including assessments and accountability, before receiving recommendations or introductions.
The platform offers three annual membership packages: Regular – ₦70,000, Premium – ₦350,000, and VIP – ₦700,000. The VIP package includes additional support such as a dedicated matchmaker and coach.
The initiative is operated through Love, Dating and Marriage Ministries, founded by Pastors Kingsley and Mildred Okonkwo.
For Christians pursuing biblical sexual purity, the development raises an important conversation about intentional relationships. In a culture where casual sex, sexual immorality and uncommitted relationships are increasingly normalized, Christian singles need more than attraction—they need wisdom, accountability, spiritual maturity and a clear understanding of God’s purpose for marriage.
Whether or not one chooses a paid matchmaking service, the biblical principle remains: relationships should honour God, protect sexual purity and approach marriage with wisdom and intentionality.
Christian singles must remember that finding a spouse should never become more important than remaining faithful to Christ.
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication.” 1 Thessalonians 4:3 (KJV)

In a recent incident in Abuja, a woman simply exercising her right to say “no” faced violence from a married elderly man. He allegedly slapped her and broke her glasses when she declined his attempt to “get to know her.” Bystanders calmed him instead of holding him accountable. Such events grieve the heart of God and underscore the urgent need for Biblical sexual purity in our society.
Biblical sexual purity is not merely abstaining from physical immorality; it is a holistic call to holiness that honors God with our bodies, minds, and relationships (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). It demands self-control, respect for others as image-bearers of God (Genesis 1:27), and fidelity within marriage.
- Self-Control and Purity of Heart: Jesus taught that lustful looks already constitute adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:27-28). A married man pursuing a stranger violates his covenant and objectifies the woman. Biblical manhood requires guarding one’s eyes and heart (Job 31:1; Proverbs 4:23). True purity flees temptation rather than forcing unwanted attention.
- Respecting Boundaries and Consent: Saying “no” is not an invitation for aggression. The Bible commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the Church, sacrificially and gently (Ephesians 5:25). Forcing attention or reacting with violence disrespects the dignity God placed in every woman. Purity respects “no” as a boundary, reflecting the freedom Christ gives us.
- Protecting the Vulnerable: Bystanders who only “calmed” the aggressor failed to stand for justice (Proverbs 31:8-9; Isaiah 1:17). The church must model protection of women and girls, teaching young men to honor sisters in Christ (1 Timothy 5:2). Sexual purity extends to defending the innocent.
- Healing and Restoration: For victims like this young woman, God is near the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Forgiveness is possible through Christ, but justice matters. We urge reporting such incidents and seeking godly counsel.
Call to Action for Biblical Sexual Purity Ministry: Parents, teach your children God’s design for sexuality, exclusive within heterosexual marriage (Genesis 2:24; Hebrews 13:4). Churches, preach purity unashamedly. Men, pursue holiness and accountability. Women, know your worth in Christ and stand firm. Let us build a culture where purity brings freedom, not fear. Visit www.biblicalsexualpurity.org for resources, teachings, and support.
May this incident stir us to live pure lives that glorify God amid a perverse generation (Philippians 2:15).

by Mrs Edidiong Of Nigeria.
Mrs Edidiong is a native of Akpabom in Akwa-Ibom state of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and
also a genuine born-again Christian who loves to please God in every area of her life.
She was converted in the year 2012 through hearing some testimonies of Heaven and Hell.
Although she came to the Lord out of fear of going to Hell, she found joy in serving Him after she
met Christ.
She used to be a member of Christ Embassy Church. Later she switched to become a full member
of the Apostolic Faith Church.
Her husband also permitted her to follow her friend Omonoh who is a member of the Deeper Life
Bible Church to their Monday bible study where she eventually understood in the teaching of
eternal security the danger of worldliness permitted in other churches and also understood the
power in the blood of Jesus.
The more she studied the Bible herself, the more she understood many hidden sins that she should
repent from because she was never taught so in the past but with the help of God, she was able to
finish up her Bible study. She also became a great preacher in her street through morning preaching
and house to house evangelism. She never allowed that to hinder her duties as a wife.
Mrs. Edidiong never stopped asking God in her prayers to review to her if there is still something in
her life that she needs to repent from, anything in her life that can still take her to Hell. She had so
much desire to get to Heaven at all cost.
One evening, after repeating those prayers, she slept off after making love with her husband. After a
while, she saw herself in the area where she normally stands to preach the Gospel every morning.
As she was preaching, a demon in the form of a woman appeared to her and grabbed her and put her
in chains, dragging her. She rebuked the demon in the name of Jesus but the demon would not even
listen to her.
The demon started dragging her into an unknown destination, telling her she belongs to her and she
must follow her to her kingdom. After she has rebuked her and prayed a “fall and die” prayer on the
demon, the demon still refused to listen to her.
The more Mrs. Edidiong struggled with the creature, the weaker she became. It was just like a cat
struggling with an elephant. She cried for help but no one could hear her crying, even unto the Lord.
It was as if her prayers and rebukes against this evil spirit had no effect.
Then she threw away her Bible and started crying and begging the demon for mercy.
Mrs. Edidiong: Please mum, what have I done to you? Please leave me alone. I don’t want to go
with you.
Demon: You must come with me, you fool because you are mine.
Mrs. Edidiong: I reject that in Jesus’ name. I belong to Jesus.
Demon: If you belong to Him, why hasn’t He come to save you from my hand? You think you can
serve God and Mammon. Haven’t you heard that a little yeast defile the whole dough? So you
belong to me because your little uncleanness has defiled your whole righteousness. Come and let’s
go.
Mrs. Edidiong: No, I am born again, washed in the blood of the Lamb, and I can never have any
relationship with darkness because I am of the light.
Demon: Oh shut up, you fool. Don’t you know I am in you and you are in me and that has made us
equal?
Mrs. Edidiong: Who are you?
Demon: I am Jezebel, the spirit of immorality. No one has ever entered my trap and escaped it.
Mrs. Edidiong: I didn’t commit any immoral act. I have stopped dressing worldly. I have repented
from all immoral acts. I’m only married to my husband Utibe-Abasi and I never know any other
man apart from him.
Demon: But you still hold on to my teachings and ideas (Rev 2:20). What about the one you
perform on your marriage bed with your husband? You have indeed stopped watching pornography
even since you said you want to go with that righteousness.
Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against you because you suffer that woman
Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication,
and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
But you still retain the knowledge in your memory and you perform it days and nights with your
husband. Those sexual practices you perform with your husband when making love are mine. I
taught you all.
Haven’t you heard in Romans 1:32, They know God’s justice requires that those who do these
things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worst yet, they encourage others to do them too.
Anytime you perform these sexual practices I taught you through pornography with your husband,
you are doing my bidding. It shows you are loyal to me.
So you belong to me, or haven’t you enjoyed my teaching? Now follow me to my kingdom.
Mrs. Edidiong: Please, mum, I am sorry. I didn’t know it is a sin. I am doing it to satisfy my
husband so that he won’t lust after another woman. I didn’t know it is a sin. Please ma, I won’t do
that again. Help Jesus! Save me, Jesus!
The demon won’t even listen to her but as the demon was about to drag her into a very dark and
burning place, a bolt of lightning came from nowhere and struck the chain on her and the chain
broke into two.
And she found herself still lying down beside her husband in the bedroom. She said, “Oh so it was
all a dream.”
She realized the Lord showed her one thing that is dragging her to Hell unknowingly while she was
busy trying to save souls for Heaven. She prayed to God for mercy and she repented from
committing such from then on.
This should be a lesson to all Heaven minded Christians, always ask the Lord to reveal to you
anything in your life that can end you up in Hell now before you hear it from the Judgment Throne
of God.
Many Christians are in Hell today because of sin they never count to be sin whereas there is no
excuse before the throne of God. God is rich in mercy but when it comes to judgment, God shows
no mercy.
1 Thessalonians 5:22-23 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify
you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless to the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is a great warning to all married Christian couples who are seeking to get to Heaven.

A heartbreaking incident has shocked the community of Tungo village in Jigawa State, Nigeria. On April 26, 2025, the Jigawa State Police Command arrested a groom and his friends for allegedly coercing a young bride into non-consensual sexual activity, tragically leading to her death.
A statement made available to newsmen in Dutse, the state capital, on Sunday evening by the police spokesperson noted, “The groom, identified as Auwal Abdulwahab, 20, and his friends, Nura Basiru, 20, Muttaka Lawan, 20, and Hamisu Musa, 20, all from Tungo village, were arrested and taken into custody for discreet investigation.”
The sad event unfolded around 10 PM when police were alerted and a team, led by the Divisional Police Officer, rushed to the scene. It was reported that the bride had experienced disagreements with her husband over marital relations since their wedding. Unfortunately, those tensions culminated in a tragic outcome.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Abdullahi, has ordered that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Dutse to ensure a detailed and impartial investigation.
This tragedy serves as a painful reminder of the importance of respecting the dignity, will, and safety of every individual, especially within marriage. This is such an abominable act that no one could have imagined it in their hearts.
Our thoughts are with the victim’s family during this devastating time. We pray that justice will be served and that such heartbreaking acts will be prevented in the future.
Final Word of Advice:
Marriage is built on love, trust, and mutual respect — not force or fear. Biblical marriage is between a man and a woman. Inviting friends to forcefully violate one’s wife is forbidden and must be punished. No one has the right to violate another, even within marriage. Let us all stand together to promote marriages that reflect the fear of God, honor, kindness, and dignity.

A 70 years old man has been arrested by the Niger state police for allegedly raping an 8 year old girl in Minna, Niger State. The man who was identified as Mohammed Sani Umar (Tela) committed the hideous act in Chanchaga area of the state.
It was gathered that Umar had raped the girl twice and had given her the sum of eighty Naira to keep silent about the incident. The girl’s uncle who was identified as Abubakar on narration said that his niece fell sick for a few weeks and despite many treatments she was still not getting well, a neighbor then advised the mother to observe the girl, and after some days, the mother noticed some blood stains in her daughter’s underwear. She asked her what happened to her and the little girl took her mother to the man’s house and pointed at him.
On seeing the girl and her mother, the man started pleading with them to cover it up, and that he would take responsibility. The angry and devastated mother on hearing this started crying and shouting for help, which prompted people to gather around and on hearing what happened, an angry mob descended on him, beating him up mercilessly.
Umar was further handed to police custody, with the family of the victim pleading that justice be served.
According to Sahara reporters, Umar admitted before a magistrate court on Wednesday that he raped the little girl twice because he loved her. The magistrate following the request of the prosecution, adjourned the case until July 23 and ordered the suspect to be remanded at the Minna new prison.
We must not forget God’s original purpose of creating sex. Raping minors is not part of God’s purpose. The incessant increase of rape cases, especially of minors, and sexual immorality all over the world show clearly that man is rapidly drifting away from God and heading to destruction. God’s judgment is eminent. There is therefore the urgent need for repentance.

Around 400 gay people in Ghana will reportedly take part in a gay ‘cure’ therapy forum in the country.
The attendees, who have all allegedly signed up voluntarily, will receive ‘counselling’ and ‘reformation’ at the anti-gay conference, which has the theme: “Exploring the myths surrounding LGBT rights.”
The National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values (NCPHSRFV), which is running the forum, said in April that Prime Minister Theresa May’s pro-LGBT+ speech to Commonwealth leaders was part of a Western plan to reduce the continent’s population.
PinkNews reports that the leader, Moses Foh-Amoaning, said that the “400 men and women voluntarily surrendered themselves and registered with the coalition to undergo a sexual evangelism programme recently.”
The event will take place in an undisclosed location in the country.
Foh-Amoaning then announced plans to open a ‘Holistic Sexual Therapy Unit’ at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra which will also attempt to ‘cure’ queer people of their sexuality, according to the state-owned Daily Graphic.
He said that religious leaders and people versed in ‘traditional medicine’ would ‘treat’ people alongside medical staff.
He also revealed plans to make the law, which currently criminalises homosexuality with a maximum prison term of three years, force queer people to undergo gay ‘conversion’ therapy.
Foh-Amoaning said that “a bill known as ‘Who is on the Lord’s Side’ will then be introduced in Parliament for subsequent passage into law.
“We will make our punishment corrective instead of punitive.”
The head of the NCPHSRFV has a long history of anti-gay campaigning, having previously insisted gay people shouldn’t have rights and that pro-LGBT+ activism was a form of neocolonialism.
Foh-Amoaning has also stated that “the anus was not created for sex” and compared it female genital mutilation.
His group campaigns against any political party which supports homosexuality in the country.
In 2015, he said that churches would end up being “dominated by homosexuals” if the clergy didn’t stage a “blistering crusade” against homosexuality.
The law lecturer said the “dormant posture” of the Ghanaian clergy would see the “houses of God being ruled by evil homosexuals.”
Earlier this month, the country’s President Nana Akufo-Addo said he had “no plans” to change the country’s laws on homosexuality.
This represented a disappointing shift from the President’s comments last year, when he said that the legalisation of homosexuality in Ghana was “bound to happen” eventually.
He rowed back his position in a speech to the 2018 Synod of the Global Evangelical Church, insisting that he would not support such a change in the law.
The President said it was “important that we do not debase the principles we purport to uphold.”
He added that Ghana’s government has “no authority” to make leaps forward in legislating for LGBT+ equality, “and we will not seek any authority to do so.”
