Komaiya, who spoke in a video message shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, urged youths to prioritise the well-being of their parents, stressing that caring for them should not be postponed until de@th.
The presiding pastor of The Master’s Place International, Korede Komaiya, has warned young people against neglecting their parents while alive, only to spend lavishly on their funerals.
Komaiya, who spoke in a video message shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, urged youths to prioritise the well-being of their parents, stressing that caring for them should not be postponed until de@th.
“Don’t let mosquitoes k!ll your parents while you spend N7m on their burial,” the cleric cautioned, decrying what he described as misplaced priorities among many young people.
He emphasised that parental blessings are crucial to fulfilling one’s destiny, noting that having living parents is a priceless privilege.
“Parental blessings are critical. If you have your mother alive and your father alive, you have gold mines alive,” he said.
The cleric encouraged youths to take deliberate and practical steps to support their parents financially and emotionally.
“Let your parents enjoy the fruit of their labour. Place them on a monthly salary, even if it’s N20,000. Even when they don’t need it, do it; it is the covenant you’re practising,” he advised.
Komaiya also stressed the importance of being attentive to parents’ needs, urging young people to make regular sacrifices for their well-being.
“Something must leave you for your parents; listen carefully to their needs,” he added.
He further called for forgiveness and understanding within families, urging youths to overlook past mistakes by their parents.
“If they’ve made mistakes, we all do. Can you please forgive and be the fulfilment of their dream?” He said.
The cleric concluded by urging young people to live in ways that bring joy to their parents, describing parental blessings as a vital key to success.
“Please, you owe your parents one thing: let them d!e happy. Let your parents thank God for having you. It is a major covenant secret—parental blessings,” he stated.
