"If You Can't Submit, Don't Marry" – Apostle Femi Lazarus Says Any Home Where Woman Controls Husband Is Cursed
Apostle Femi Lazarus has spoken strongly about marriage, submission, and the need for men to raise boys to understand their responsibilities, warning against what he described as the growing attempt to weaken masculinity in society.
"If You Can't Submit, Don't Marry" – Apostle Femi Lazarus Says Any Home Where Woman Controls Husband Is Cursed
The founder of Light Nation Church made the statement while speaking about marriage and behaviours he claimed have become increasingly common among couples.
He argued that men should not describe themselves as "woke" if they allow their wives to disregard their authority in marriage.
"Any home that the woman is controlling the husband, curse is the land. If you are not going to submit, don't marry," he said.
Lazarus also criticised men who embrace what he described as a distorted definition of being woke, particularly those who accept wives openly rejecting submission.
"If you're a man, that your definition of being a woke man is that the lady is telling to your face that I don't submit to no one, and say, Yeah, let's go. Hey, wicked.
You've got no balls. You were not taught to be a man," he stated . He added, "We need more men teaching boys how to be men, not some sissies walking about".
The preacher stressed that biblical instructions on marriage should not be altered, stating, "Don't twist what the Bible instituted. The Word is the Word. Love your wife. Wife, submit to your husband. That's the culture".
He insisted that the roles of husbands and wives as outlined in the Bible remain the standard for a healthy marriage, and that any deviation from this order would have consequences.
Lazarus further warned about the consequences of what he described as the breakdown of family structures. "When the land is cursed, the offspring comes out cursed. So children come dysfunctional," he said.
He also raised concerns about what he described as efforts to "emasculate boys," referencing Pharaoh's command to kill male children in the Bible and arguing that society needs stronger men to guide the next generation.
His comments have sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with some supporting his stance on biblical marriage roles and others criticising his views as outdated and patriarchal.
The debate highlights the ongoing tension between traditional religious teachings and modern perspectives on gender roles in Nigerian society.
