    Pastor Kingsley defends Bible-inspired tattoo as form of evangelism

    Renowned relationship coach and head of David Christian Centre, Kingsley Okonkwo has defended his decision to get a tattoo of John 3:16 on his arm, describing it as a bold move to spread the Gospel.

    The tattoo, revealed in a video posted on Okonkwo’s official Instagram page on Saturday, bears the scripture John 3:16 in Roman numerals — “III: XVI.”

    The tattoo, revealed on his 50th birthday, has sparked mixed reactions online, with some critics questioning its appropriateness for a pastor.

    In a statement on Sunday, Okonkwo framed the tattoo as a form of creative evangelism, saying it had helped preach the Gospel to millions.

    “My religious brothers and sisters were busy judging over tattoo; they didn’t notice that the gospel (John 3:16) was preached to millions in 24hrs by almost all blogs.

    “Anyway, we will share in details on Monday night. For now, please come to my praise party/thanksgiving service this Sunday @dcclagos on mainland & island. There will be food, fun, and praise”, he wrote.

    Addressing the growing debate, the pastor advised followers to stay calm.

    “Those who want to hear about tattoos, drink water and relax. We will talk on Monday after the parties this weekend,” he added.

    Okonkwo stressed the need for men to adapt to changing societal expectations, stating that true leadership encompasses various aspects beyond financial provision.

    He wrote: “If you remove money most men don’t have what it takes to lead a woman, thats why most men want to hold on to the idea that a man’s main role is ‘providing’.

    “Outside money most men don’t have the spiritual, emotional mental, morale capacity to lead a woman in today’s world, and even the money the men don’t even have it.

    “Alot of men today are carrying an outdated syllabus and archaic mindset that was developed when women weren’t educated or didnt work, being the head today is no more about paying rent and paying school fees, you must be a quality man.”

    Your man is not primarily your friend, lover or mate, he is first your leader.

    “I told you you won’t like it…..if you don’t see him as leader you will struggle to respect him.

    “It’s a small shift in mindset but it makes a big difference, once you are able to see him as leader you will unlock the friend, lover and partner in him.”

    Some women place marriage above God – Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo

    Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo has taken a swipe at married women who downplay the role of God in their union, warning them to desist from such dealings.

    Okonkwo, who is known for voicing his opinion on relationships and marriages, revealed that some women’s greatest priority is marriage and it has taken over their overall wellbeing.

    He emphasised in a tweet that some women incorrectly prioritise marriage over all other considerations, including their relationship with God, their personal well-being, and the welfare of their future children.

    He stressed the value of finding personal fulfillment, noting that before a woman can be content in a marriage, she must first discover delight in her single life.

    Using the biblical account of Esau, Pastor Okonkwo made the point that snap decisions never work out well.

    He cited Esau’s impetuous act of exchanging his birthright for a supper to show how acting out of desperation can result in bad decisions, particularly when marriage is involved.

    He wrote: “Some women place marriage above God, above their own well-being and even that of their unborn children.

    “Anything done in desperation never births something good …ask Esau. Ladies one of the major steps to being happily married is being happily single.”
