Chris Okotie, head pastor of the Household of God Church International Ministries, asserts that he has no desire to remarry.
The 64-year-old cleric stated he will not get married again because Jesus has already informed him that one has finished in a conversation with BBC Pidgin.
According to Okotie, he was called by God to live a celibate life like the biblical Apostle Paul, but he did not understand the call until he was older.
“I’m not getting married again because Jesus has already told me that one has ended. When I was saved, when I became born again, I was in university at the time. I did not understand the will of God for my life.
“I called you like Paul. I tried to stop you at that time, but you didn’t listen. I want you to live a life of dedication to me and the work I called you for. So marriage is not on the menu again, never”, he said.
Recall that Okotie had been involved in two failed marriages.
He first got married to Tina but separated in 2001. Then again, he tied the knot with Stephanie Henshaw in 2008 but the union ended in 2012.
