The founder of David’s Christian Centre challenged the traditional belief that men should always provide, calling it cultural—not biblical.
Speaking in a recent sermon, Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo stressed that the Bible promotes hard work and personal responsibility, regardless of gender.
“It never favours you. That thing was a cultural idea. It’s not biblical. What the Bible says is that he that does not work should not eat,” he said.
He questioned why women who once sustained themselves independently before relationships often shift the burden of survival to men after marriage.
He described this mindset as “poor people talk,” asserting that people raised with values of self-sufficiency do not rely on others for basic needs.
The Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo sermon also criticized women who define their worth based on what a man can provide, warning that such dependence often opens the door to mistreatment.
“The way some of you are being treated is because of how you have rated yourself. If you don’t buy me popcorn, I won’t come. Then the way they will pop you like corn,” he added, driving home the message with pointed humor.
The pastor’s bold message adds to growing conversations about financial independence, gender roles, and the intersection between faith and culture.
