Sex before marriage no longer sin — Pastor Says

Pastor Olakunle Beloved Jesukale, founder of End-Time Revival Evangelical Ministry, has said that sex before marriage is no longer a sin.

The Pastor expressed his position on sex before marriage and sin in a video he shared on social media platforms.

The cleric stated that he does not even believe that sin exists to those who believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ because he has destroyed sin.

Maintaining that he believes in extreme grace, Pastor Jesukale averred: “Sex, whether it is before marriage, after marriage or during marriage is no longer a sin.” He also said why many believe sex should be had in marriage is because it is a covenant but has nothing to do with righteousness, purity and other godly virtues.

The Pastor also stated that any preacher saying that sex before marriage is a sin is an enemy of the finished work and is not real.

Jesukale said: “Sex, whether it is down before, after on within the marriage, is no longer a sin.

“Any preacher that says is a sin is an enemy of the finished wok and it is not real.

“If you are just holding yourself, saying that it is when you get married that you want to have sex, you are just discomforting yourself for nothing.

“It has nothing to do with righteousness or purity because Jesus has already renewed our mind to the understanding of what Jesus has done.

“This sin has been destroyed.

“This sin probably that people call sin is no longer a sin because of what Jesus has done on the cross.

“Sin has died and so there is no sin anymore because before God, Jesus has become that lamb of God that taketh the sins of the world completely so that people can live a life of liberty and peace.

“The reason why many people say that it should be taught in marriage is because the act of sex itself is a covenant.

“That is whenever you have sex with someone, you enter into a covenant …

Meet the World’s most powerful people as Forbes unveil their 2018 list + Check out the only Nigerian on the list

China’s president, Xi Jinping has been named this year’s most powerful person in the world by Forbes. In March 2018, China’s congress amended its constitution, eliminating term limits and broadening Xi’s influence.

Russian President Vladimir Putin who came in second place has been knocked off the top spot, a title that he held for four consecutive years. A little over one year into his term, President Donald Trump falls to the Number 3 spot.

Four factors were taken into account to select each of the World’s Most Powerful People: how many people over whom they have power; the financial resources they control; if they have influence in more than one sphere; and how actively they wield their power to change the world.

It’s no surprise that Africa’s richest man and Nigerian business mogul, Alhaji Aliko Dangote is the only Nigerian to make the 75 Most Powerful People in 2018.

He’s pegged on 66th position coming a spot ahead of Vice President of the United States of America, Mike Pence who’s pegged on number 67 on the list.

See the full list below, compromising of the names, businesses/countries and age:
