Pastor John Winfred, the General Overseer of Lovereign Bible Church, has shared his views on money and love in romantic relationships.
In a video shared on X, the pastor advised young men to pay attention to how women approach them for financial support.
He suggested that a woman who frequently takes money from a man may not genuinely love him.
Pastor explains his views on financial support
According to Pastor John Winfred, a woman who truly loves a man may not immediately turn to him whenever she needs money.
He argued that such a woman might first seek help from her friends before approaching the man she loves.
“One of the first signs that a woman doesn’t love you is when she takes money from you,” he said.
The pastor added that he once experienced a similar situation when a woman asked him for money to buy fuel for her car.
He also claimed that some women only feel comfortable taking money from men after marriage.
‘When a woman loves you, she takes risks’
Pastor John Winfred further explained that women who genuinely love their partners may try to protect their relationships.
He said they might communicate their needs indirectly instead of making direct financial demands.
“When they truly love a man, they feel like doing something for the man,” he stated.
The pastor also argued that a woman who does not want to lose her partner would avoid actions that could put the relationship at risk.
He described a relationship built mainly around financial demands as something other than genuine love.
Pastor’s comments spark discussion
Pastor John Winfred’s remarks have drawn attention to the role of money in romantic relationships.
While he presented his views as advice to men, financial expectations can differ from one relationship to another.
Some couples consider financial support an important part of caring for each other. Others prefer to maintain separate finances or discuss their needs openly.
Therefore, money alone cannot establish whether a person genuinely loves their partner.
The pastor’s comments have nonetheless renewed conversations about trust, communication and financial expectations between couples.
