The Senior Pastor of The Second Coming of Christ’s Ministry, Adewale Giwa, has cautioned pastors who married more than one wife before venturing into ministry against divorcing.
Giwa said clergymen who married more than one wife before they became ministers must keep them because there is no marriage in heaven.
He spoke during a press conference in his church in Akure, Ondo State, while dismissing the place of restitution in the Bible.
Making allusion to the portion of the Bible where Jesus Christ spoke about a woman married to several husbands but they died, Giwa stressed that there is no marriage in heaven.
According to Pastor Giwa: “There is no place that we should restitute in the Bible, people are only capitalizing on the Old Testament when Jesus Christ said to his disciples, a certain woman married three husbands and they all died, so who should be the original husband of the woman when they get to heaven?
“Jesus said in heaven there is nothing like marriage.
“So if you marry two wives before God calls you, you have to maintain that – You don’t send one packing to please the other because there is no marriage in heaven.
“There is a popular Juju musician still alive married to more than two wives but God called him and he became an anointed pastor. He now made a move for restitution by sending the other wife away while retaining the first, he sent the second wife away while forgetting that the way God thinks is different from how man thinks.
“Not long ago, the first wife died and he was forced to go and beg the woman he sent away to return back, as we speak the woman lives with him. This goes to tell you that there is no marriage in heaven.”
