Pastor Bolaji Idowu, the lead pastor of Harvesters International Christian Center (HICC), has sparked conversation online with a bold message to singles: avoid dating when you’re jobless.
During a recent sermon, Pastor Bolaji addressed the emotional and financial risks of entering a relationship without financial stability. He warned that love born out of lack can often be misleading, rooted more in survival than genuine affection.
“Don’t date when you’re jobless,” he said. “Some relationships look attractive not because they’re right, but because you’re broke. When you finally start earning, you’ll be shocked that you had no business falling in love with certain people.”
He went on to describe such connections as “hunger-induced love” rather than real, intentional partnerships, emphasizing the importance of entering relationships from a place of wholeness and financial responsibility.
The message has sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising the pastor’s practicality, while others argue that love can thrive even in tough times.
What are your thoughts — is financial stability a must before dating?
