“There are many demons that are very beautiful. If you marry because of beauty, you might choose a demon. I’m not saying all beautiful people are demonic. If it’s beauty alone that leads you into marriage, it’s a deep trap,” he said.
He also urged men not to marry a woman who cannot cook or is not hospitable.
“Don’t marry a girl who cannot cook. We are talking of excellent counsel. Only I can tell you these things. Even if a prophet says this is your wife, if she can’t cook, say ‘Thank you, keep her,’” he said, citing Sarah and the Shunamite woman as biblical examples of hospitable cooks.
He further advised men to call off any wedding where the woman demands a ceremony that would lead to debt.

“Don’t marry a girl who does not do things in moderation. No matter how close you are to a wedding and your girl is suggesting a wedding that is going to cost you everything you have and get you into debt, call it off, ” he directed.
On cosmetics, Adeboye warned against “excessive makeup,” false hair, and false nails.
He said, “The girl you are going to marry must not be heavily made up. If you look at the girl, the hair on her head is from India. The eyelashes are false. The nails of the hand are false. The nails of the toes are false. You must ask yourself the question, ‘What is behind the mask?’ Because one day you will discover that excessive makeup is simply saying there is something to hide.
“I want my boys to end up well. When you check the Bible very well in 2 Kings 9:30-37, you will discover that the matron saint of makeup is Jezebel.”
While speaking with the church workers on Saturday, Adeboye said that Nigeria’s next president, ahead of the 2027 general elections, has already been determined by God. He reportedly stressed that the outcome of the election is beyond human influence, insisting that divine will ultimately prevail.
