A popular man of God, Prophet Samuel Abiara has remarried one and half years after losing his wife to death.
The immediate past General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic
Church worldwide, Prophet Samuel Abiara, has remarried. According to a
report by Punch, the brief but colourful ceremony took place in Ibadan,
capital of Oyo State, on Thursday.
The 75-year-old walked his new bride, Grace Ojewande, down the
aisle, one and half years after he lost his spouse, Christianah, of over
50 years. The wedding, which took place at the Christ Apostolic Church,
Agbala Itura, saw top dignitaries including respected Christian leaders
in attendance.
The new wife, who could not hide her joy at the occasion, is said
to be in her early 50s and a native of Ifetedo in Osun State. Ojewande
is a Level 16 officer at the Lagos State Ministry of Education and
worships at the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries.
It was gathered that the new bride had never been married or bore
any child before exchanging marital vows with the clergy. Giving reasons
why he decided to remarry at 75, Prophet Abiara had said that he
consulted widely before arriving at his choice.
He said, “My children, who are now grown-ups, held a meeting
and concluded that I should get a new wife who will attend to my
everyday needs at old age.
“After due consideration and having satisfied my conscience
that my children’s suggestion was in conformity with the scriptures, I
made up my mind to marry a new wife.
“The Bible established it that when a man loses his wife, he
has the right to remarry. I am acting based on the directive of God and
the advice of my children.”
