The
72 year old man and 60 year old woman who have been living together for more
than 45 years without bride price and marriage were joined in Holy Matrimony
today, Saturday, February 20 at Omega Power Ministries, Port Harcourt.
The
church announced the good news on their Facebook page, adding that they
bankrolled the weddings of other 140 couples who have been living together for
many years without legal marriage. They provided money for the bride price,
wedding gown for brides, suit, shirt and even ties for the grooms absolutely
free of charge.
"Why
did I decide to do this ?" the Pastor asked.
"Every
day I get sleepless night because of the amount of people living together when
God has not joined them. IT IS A SIN BEFORE GOD. Do you know that; one out of
every five people you see in the street are living together without being
legally married," he said.
"If
Rapture happens now , they will all miss Rapture. So what is the solution ?
Solution Number one: Couples must Live apart until you get money to WED. Which
is very risky. Any of those women can be my sister or maybe she already has 5
children. The woman will suffer. And a strange woman may take advantage to come
in. Solution number two: Legalise their union. But many don't have money to
legalize it. They already have children, but no money to pay bride price. So
that is why I decided to intervene, so when Rapture happens they shall not be
found wanting.
"What
is a church building when the people inside the building have visa to go to
Hell-fire. Salvation is better than beautiful church building.This is why I
conducted marriage blessing for 140 couples @ OPM headquarters. By the grace of
God, I gave them money to pay bride price which they have traveled and come
back after paying. I bought wedding suits and gowns including shirts and tie
for 140 couples. Paid for marriage certificate and paid for food, drinks that
will be used for their reception. Now I can sleep well knowing that extra 140
souls have been added to the kingdom of God."
