The immediate past popular General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church worldwide, Prophet Samuel Abiara, on Thursday, walked down the aisle with his new bride, Grace Ojewande, one and half years after he lost his wife of over 50 years.

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.”
