Popular Gospel Singer and Pastor, Donnie McClurkin delivered some good news when he announced his engagement to fellow singer, Nicole. C. Mullen.
McClurkin revealed the good news on TBN’s long-running “Praise the Lord” ministry show Thursday night.
Rumors that the pair McClurkin and Mullen were dating started circulating after the two attended this year’s Stellar Awards together. The duo never said anything about it though until Thursday’s episode of “Praise the Lord.”
Show Host A.R. Benard told the entire watching world about it saying, “OK, are you ready for something? You want me to just drop something on ya? Donnie McClurkin’s getting married! Come on!”
Naturally there was an explosion of applause as many were glad that the 56-year-old ‘We fall down’ singer was finally tying the knot.
McClurkin said in reaction to the announcement, “Well praise God, Honestly, the only thing in my life that is missing is marriage. The only thing that is missing in my life that can cause real family, is marriage. Financially I’m there, spiritually I’m almost there, emotionally I’m getting it together, but the only thing that’s missing out of everything that I’m doing locally, cross country and globally is that aspect that makes family, family — is that wife that would make man whole, that element that brings favor to man.”
The pastor went on to quote Proverbs 18:22. The verse says “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord.” And that is what McClurkin says he’s looking forward to in this season of his life.
“I have a lot of great things, but I don’t have a good thing, and there’s favor that can only come through marriage to a man,”
While McClurkin has never been married and has been a single dad for a long time, Nicole. C. Mullen was married but got divorced in 2014.
