Counsellor and Resident Pastor at Universal Gospel Center, Reverend Daniel Annan, has issued a strong warning against cheating in relationships, describing it as a grave sin that attracts divine judgment.
Speaking on Let’s Talk following a discussion about a woman who believes she is in love with her sister’s fiancé, Rev. Annan said infidelity goes beyond a personal failing and carries spiritual consequences.
“If you cheat, God will judge you,” Reverend Annan said, stressing the seriousness of the matter.
He warned that, unlike human or satanic judgment, there is no escape from God’s judgment, and those who cheat risk experiencing “horrible” life outcomes, including being “bedridden” and suffering “losses”.
He added that such consequences may not be limited to the individual alone but could extend to their children and extended family.
Quoting scripture, he said, “Fathers have eaten sour grapes, and children’s teeth are set on edge,” explaining that innocent children can suffer because of their parents’ actions.
Rev. Annan also urged men in particular to flee temptation. He advised, “Flee fornication,” noting that true strength lies not in resisting temptation but in running from it.
He cautioned, “Your zip, your erection, should not give you direction, or else you are going to miss it,” underscoring the need for self-control in the face of lust.
On building lasting unions, he encouraged individuals to “interrogate very well who to marry”, with emphasis on a partner’s trustworthiness and sexual integrity.
He declared, “Relationships are not built on falsehood; relationships are built on trust,” reinforcing the value of transparency and honesty.
Rev. Annan further highlighted the role of prayer within marriage. He encouraged wives to “pray over the man’s head”, expressing confidence that God answers prayers and can bring change in their husbands.
According to him, a husband can be “sanctified” through his wife’s prayers.
His remarks serve as a reminder of the need for self-control, trust and spiritual responsibility in relationships, particularly in the face of temptation.
