Ghanaian Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has warned
men to be careful of women who mount pressure on them to prove their love,
because such women want to “kill” them.
As part of a Sunday sermon at the
Accra headquarters of the Christian Action Faith Ministries (CAFM), the charismatic preacher told his congregation that any man who
succumbs to such pressure from his woman, risks suffering the fate of the
biblical Samson, who became powerless after revealing the source of his physical
strength to his lover – Delilah – after similar pressure.
Below is
transcription of Duncan-Williams’ comments on that specific issue:“You
know something? I’m married. It’s not everything I tell my wife. I’m just
telling you. Sometimes people will come and see me and she’ll see us talking
talking talking and when they go she’ll say: ‘What’s going on? You’ve been
talking for too long’. I say: ‘Nothing’. ‘Is there any problem?’ I say: ‘No
problem’. ‘Is she ok?’ ‘Yes she’s fine fine’.
“Why should I tell you?
It’s none of your business. It’s not part of the marriage vows. I didn’t marry
you to tell you people’s business. It’s my job. It’s like a doctor: I don’t have
to tell you details of people’s business. It’s none of your business. And you
can say I don’t love you, you can say whatever you want to say, I’ve come too
far to be manipulated by moods and tears, and you know, I told one of my sons, I
say: ‘Whenever a woman say[s]: ‘You don’t love me, you don’t love me’, it’s
because she wants to kill you [laughter follows from both Duncan-Williams and
the congregation].
“You can laugh but it’s true. You remember Samson and
Delilah? Delilah kept telling Samson: ‘You don’t love me, you don’t love me, if
you love me you’ll tell me your secret, if you love me you’ll tell me your
secret, if you love me you’ll tell me your secret’, and Samson was so foolish
that he wanted to prove to Delilah that he loved her and told him the secret of
his covenant.
“He fooled with three women. Delilah was the third one. The
first and second, he didn’t reveal the secret. It was Delilah that got him to
reveal the secret of his covenant, and when he did, he was finished.
“She
vexed him to prove if he loved her. It was a provocation, and sometimes there
are people who can vex you to prove and to show whether you are committed to
them or not, and you have to know, when those days come that I don’t owe you: I
don’t have to prove anything.
“And I told a son of mine like that; I
said: ‘She’s provoking you; she wants to kill you’. You can look at me any way
you want to look at me. I said: ‘The way she’s pushing you, prove prove prove’,
I said: ‘Don’t prove anything’”.
