Pastor Tola Odutola has advised married men to always wear their wedding rings, saying the ring shows a man is married and can discourage other women from approaching him.
He made the remark while talking about married men who do not wear their rings.
He admitted that wearing a ring is not a requirement in the Bible and said it is only his personal view.
He said he just has a problem with married men who do not use their rings.
The pastor asked why a married man would stop wearing his ring because he has gained weight, instead of simply getting a bigger one.
He said such a man started out with a ring, so he can change it to the new size.
Odutola said women he called Delilahs may not really fear a wedding ring, but wearing one still makes a man's marital status clear.
He said it at least helps people know the man is taken.
He ended by urging people to think about how they present themselves, saying the way you show up can affect the attention you get.
He added that nothing lands on a hot stove without a reason, so people should ask themselves how they show up.
