Retired General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church, Prophet Samuel K. Abiara has said that it was through the Holy Spirit that he wooed his wife.
OYO INSIGHT had reported how the wife of the Ibadan-based clergyman died not long ago.
According to Abiara in an interview with Saturday Punch, he didn’t marry her because of her beauty “or the fact that she dresses in a certain way. It was the Spirit of God and the authority of the word of God she carries that got me interested at first.
“God revealed it to me that she is my wife because there were so many women that wanted to marry me.
“We met many years ago in London when her sister brought her (to me) for prayers. After the prayer, I told her three things and one of them was that she was going to marry a man of God. By then, my late wife was still alive. Then, we went our separate ways. However, since we got married, she has taken special care of me and she enjoys me as well,” he explained.
Asked why he didn’t opt for a younger woman that would have more energy to take care of him, he said that “I didn’t marry a younger woman because the shoes will be too big for her to wear. I wanted a mature person who can listen and accommodate people. I am well loved by people.
He added that: “I love her so much. God chose her for me and she is a very wonderful person. She is very intelligent and humble. She is also very knowledgeable about the Bible. She just returned from America where she went to preach. They didn’t even want her to come back to Nigeria but I told them to allow my ‘honey’ to come back. I love her so much.
Abiara said that he did have any form of relaxation before he got married. “Since I got married, my wife tells me when it’s time to rest and time to eat, and that is why it is very good to have a partner.”
