The Redeemed Christian Church of God has issued a directive mandating members intending to get married to subject themselves to what it called “genital test.”
This was made known in the church memo; dated May 10, 2018, which was signed by Pastor J. F. Odeola for the General Overseer.
The church revealed that it has observed the recurrence of cases of marital crises resulting from falsehood, especially in the case of undeclared or unconfessed reproductive or genital status.
The memo reads:
“Calvary greetings in Jesus’ name. “The Mission Authority has observed the recurrence of cases of marital crises resulting from falsehood, especially in the case of undeclared or unconfessed reproductive/genital status.
“We have the directive of the General Overseer to instruct the entire Mission’s outpost that forthwith, pre-marital medical examination for intending couples should also include genital test.
“Further, Provinces are requested to register with particular (trusted) government approved hospital for the various pre-marital examinations for intending couples.
“Remain blessed in this season of songs and victory in Jesus’ name, amen.”
