Publisher of the popular Christian devotional Our Daily Manna, Bishop Chris Kwakpovwe has celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with his beautiful wife, Rev Mrs. Flora Kwapovwe.
Speaking on what marriage means to him, the Pharmacist-turned-preacher said: “Marriage is the union of a man and a woman joined by God not man. However, not all marriages are joined by God. Some are joined by men via wrong choices.
“Some are even joined by occultic love portions, etc by the grace of God and via the ODM – Our Daily Manna – mission worldwide, I have seen hundreds confess that they actually used charms to marry their spouses. As I am led we have to use prayers to break such charms but i cannot reveal what happened to such marriages after such prophetic prayer encounters. Some things are ministerial secrets I cannot reveal on social media”.
Speaking further on what has kept his union going, Kwakpovwe said: “Papa God has kept us going and most importantly, marriage is work by both parties. Getting married to a man of god may be hard because he may have to resort to his God sometimes for decisions.
“Can you explain why Abraham did not inform Sarah that he was going to sacrifice isaac? not all decisions are taken on the marital bed. Some are taken in a secret place with God. so it takes a woman who understands spiritual principles to be able to marry a called man not just a church man because not all pastors or ministers are truly called. Only God can judge that.”
Having been married for over 20 years, he offered some advice. According to him: “Marry your friend; don’t marry anybody just because they are christian sisters or brothers. marry your friend. Being a christian is a crucial factor but not the only factor. Marriage is a marathon and not a 100 meters short race. Marry your friend”.
He also described his wife in glowing terms saying, “She’s a woman that can tolerate me and my “25 hours” a day busy lifestyle. To celebrate this landmark occasion, I’ll be teaching young ones the right facts about happy marriage, secrets and how to cope with marital accidents/injuries based on the word of God and not on church- man-made doctrines life happens! we are not perfect but we can win”.
