Gospel singer Abbey Ojomu has shared the unusual courtship journey that led to her marriage, revealing that her spiritual fathers instructed her and her husband to stop all communication for five months.
Speaking at a church event, Abbey said their decision to marry was deliberate and guided by spiritual authority, not emotions.
"I just want to bless God. He set everything, and we didn't get here because of feelings or emotions. It was very, very intentional," she said.
She explained that after they decided to pursue marriage, they submitted the relationship to their spiritual fathers, who gave them a challenging directive.
"They told us to take like five months off speaking to each other. No phone calls, no texts, nothing, nothing, because they wanted to make sure that it wasn't because we were close," she recalled.
Abbey admitted the period was tough, jokingly adding that they relied on an intermediary to check on each other.
"I remember we used to send this girl messages. I will say, 'How is he doing?'" she said, laughing.
She said they refused to take any further steps until they received clearance from their spiritual leaders.
"We… until they gave us permission, we did not move further," she said.
Abbey also recalled travelling to Jos to meet Pastor Emmanuel, who asked about her convictions concerning the relationship.
"I had not even finished, Pastor Emmanuel Sir was like, 'It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.' He was like, 'I just wanted to hear what you wanted to say, we already know.'"
Reflecting on the journey, the gospel singer expressed gratitude for how everything turned out.
"We just want to thank God for the journey, we were helped by God," she said.
