OPM Sponsors, Weds 140 Couples
It was all jubilation and
excitement at the headquarters of the Omega Power Ministry (OPM) in Port Harcourt, as 140 couples were joined together in a mass wedding sponsored by the church.
Addressing newsmen shortly after conducting the mass wedding, the General Overseer of the Church, Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere said it had remained a great concern to him that “many people in the church were living together without being legally married thereby committing fornication.
The General Overseer said he prayed over the situation and was divinely directed to liberate the affected families from the bondage of fornication.
On such divine directive, the General Overseer said he announced on a Sunday service that all those living together but not legally married should come to the altar and 140 couples responded.
Acting on divine revelation, Apostle Chibuzor, said the church proceeded with the wedding plans by paying the bride price of the 140 couples and provided wedding gowns and suits for them, as well as offering entertainments to all their guests.
Apostle Chibuzor who disclosed that his ministry was founded on humanitarian ground with a target of rescuing one billion souls, said the successful wedding of the 140 families had brought back their stolen joy from satan.
He decried churches that exploit their members without offering solutions to their problems, and emphasised that the church was founded on the principle of human fellowship.
Speaking with our correspondent after the mass wedding, the oldest couple, Pa Samuel Arewa, 71, and Mrs Arewa, 61 thanked the General Overseer for his kind gesture. The couple who already have seven children, said they had co-habited for 43 years before they were legally joined together in marriage by Apostle Chibuzor, and thanked God for His mercies.
