The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries has described as false, the report in an online Newspaper that it has the highest number of single ladies among churches in Nigeria .
The church stated that for the past ten years, it had conducted over 150, 000 weddings.
The MFM made the clarification in a statement issued on Sunday by Collins Edomaruse, Spokesperson of its Founder and General Overseer, Dr Daniel Olukoya and made available to The PUNCH.
According to him , Olukoya and the MFM ministries have never stated that single men and women within the church should only marry among themselves.
Edomaruse said , “ We encourage and actively support all spinsters and bachelors, regardless of denomination, to build their relationships on biblical standards . We strongly advise all our single men and women to marry fellow believers within the Christian faith who equally believe in Christ' s redemption plan .

“We believe this is God 's will for marriage and is the best foundation for a successful and godly marriage. Dr Olukoya and MFM ministries have never stated that single men and women within this ministry should only marry within the ministry. ”
In the statement made available to The PUNCH, the MFM, through its singles ministry , Gen 218 , in the last decade, " has to its credit , over 150, 000 weddings” .
Quoting the pastor in charge of the programme, Pastor Popoola , he said Gen 218 offers training , teaching and guidance for bachelors and spinsters within the fold .
Edomaruse said , “ Here at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries , our singles ministry , Gen 218 , is based on the scripture in Genesis 2 :18 which states that it is not good for the man to be alone; I will make a helper who is just right for him .
"It is an exciting and vibrant ministry , attracting singles from all other denominations since its inception . It was established by our role models, Dr Daniel and Pastor Mrs Shade Olukoya.
