Apostle Femi Lazarus has spoken strongly about marriage, submission and the need for men to raise boys to understand their responsibilities, warning against what he described as the growing attempt to weaken masculinity in society.

He said, “Any home where the woman is controlling the husband, curse is the land. If you are not going to submit, don’t marry.”

He also criticised men who embrace what he described as a distorted definition of being woke, saying, “If you’re not going to submit, don’t marry. And if you’re a man, your definition of being a woke man is that the lady is telling to your face that I don’t submit to no one, and say, Yeah, let’s go. Hey, wicked. You’ve got no balls. You were not taught to be a man.”

Lazarus added, “We need more men teaching boys how to be men, not some sissies walking about.” He stressed that biblical instructions on marriage should not be altered, stating, “Don’t twist what the Bible instituted. The Word is the Word. Love your wife. Wife, submit to your husband. That’s the culture.”

He further warned about the consequences of what he described as the breakdown of family structures, saying, “When the land is cursed, the offspring comes out cursed. So children come dysfunctional.”

The preacher also raised concerns about what he described as efforts to “emasculate boys,” referencing Pharaoh’s command to kill male children and arguing that society needs stronger men to guide the next generation.
