Twitter users kick over Adeboye’s advice to son to sack his female secretary

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, on Wednesday advised couples to be faithful to their partners.
Adeboye made this statement via his Twitter handle: @ PastorEAAdeboye, where he shared some of his thoughts.
He said couples should try not to place anything before their families, making their families second.
He tweeted: “It is sad that many married people are still having crushes with persons apart from their spouses. If there is any fellow aside from your spouse you are admiring unduly, you must see such a person as the devil and get rid of them immediately.
“One of my sons once told me that he was always excited to resume in the office every Monday because he would get to see his secretary again. I told him to fire her immediately. Nothing and no one is worth your marriage. What is a married woman doing on the phone with another man for countless minutes? Why would a married man be spending so much time with another man’s wife? Why would you prefer to discuss intimate issues with your friend of the opposite sex instead of your God-given spouse?
“Oh, you may say, ‘I am not doing anything with the fellow; we are just friend.’ That is exactly where it starts from. The devil knows you are a Christian and would not fall for someone just like that.
“So, he makes you become good friends with the fellow and before you know it, you would have fallen. May you not fall for any strategy of the devil in the mighty name of Jesus. If you have any friend that you talk to more than your spouse, break that friendship now.
“Spend more time with your spouse and make him/her your confidant. Exchange compliments. The reason many people have crushes outside their marriage is mostly due to distance between the couple. They no longer communicate as they used to. When they talk, it is only on serious issues about the children or other family needs, instead of talking or gifting about just anything as they used to in the early days of their marriage.
“They no longer go out to fun places or take walks together, except they are going for family functions. If there is no distance between yourself and your spouse, no crush can come between you. No one should be closer to you, or know more about you than your spouse.”
However, some Twitter users kicked against the advice, saying it was extreme, while some others supported him.
Kelechi +_@igwilo responded, saying: “Pastor adeboye; I heard what you said and I know what you meant. Yet! Sacking that lady from her position doesn’t stop him from going after her if he wants something more from her.”
@tweeetbro said: “I don’t know why you guys are finding faults with Pastor Adeboye’s tweet. My Bible said, if your prick will lead you to sin, cut if off ”
“No one should be closer to you or know more about you than your spouse.
“If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.”
“Pastor Adeboye, an innocent woman (who might have people depending on her) lost her job, at your command, because your son couldn’t control himself & you are proud to tell us? Why? ??
@Adunni_Achebe: “Did u just say that u told ur son to fire an innocent lady for no fault of hers, but simply out of fear that Adeboye jnr won’t be able to control his penis?”
“Not transfer her to another department but to fire her???
“U can’t see anything wrong with this?…hian, man of god?”
