Don’t marry a lady called Diana; she will control you like a robot – Pastor claims

A pastor has warned men against marrying ladies called Diana, claiming they are not marriage-worthy because they don’t submit to their husbands.

According to Pastor Ezekiel Odero of Newlife Church and Prayer Centre in Kenya, the name Diana carries an evil spirit and any man who marries such a woman would become the wife while she becomes the husband.

He added that if Diana’s husband tries to stand his ground to avoid being a puppet for her, she will walk out of the marriage.

“If you marry a woman named Diana, she will control you like a robot. She becomes the husband, but if you show her that you are the man of the house, she will leave,” Pastor Ezekiel Odero told his church members recently, and the sermon was captured in a video that has been circulating online.

Beyond warning against marrying them, the man of God went further to caution parents against naming their children Diana.

Pastor Ezekiel Odero, in another sermon, warned men against marrying oversleeping women, saying a woman must be the first to wake up and attend to her husband and children’s needs.

In a video which was uploaded online, he is heard saying that a woman is obliged even by the Bible to wake up first in the morning and attend to the needs of her children and husband.

Speaking in a local dialect, he then went on further to add that any man who wakes up to find his wife still sleeping has made a bad choice.

“A woman who sleeps even after her husband has woken up is not a good woman because a man shouldn't wake up before his wife. This is because the woman is supposed to be the light of the family. She should be the first one to wake up and prepare kids for school, do house chores, and even prepare breakfast for her husband. But if you wake up before your wife and she still sleeps, I am sorry for you...

The Bible says a wise woman wakes up early in the morning and she is a precious stone to her husband... That is not a wife,” Pastor Ezekiel Odero said as translated by TUKO.co.ke.

His preaching has divided opinions as some people agree with him, while others say it smacks of enslavement mentality which makes people see women as slaves in their matrimonial homes.
