Why I decided to get married a second time – Prophet Abiara
Prophet Samuel Abiara, the retired General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church worldwide, has revealed why he married for the second time.
Having lost his wife of 50 years, Christiana Abiara, in 2016, Abiara on Thursday married a new bride, Grace Ojewande in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Explaining why he decided to marry Ojewande at 75, Prophet Abiara said 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.”
It was, however, gathered that the new bride, who’s said to be a Level 16 officer at the Lagos State Ministry of Education, had never been married or bore any child before exchanging marital vows with the clergy.
