Divorce In The House Of God: “I Will Marry My Husband Again In A Heart Beat” – Esther Benenoch

“…And the man shall leave his parents and cling to his wife… therefore what God has joined together, let no MAN put ASSUNDER! (emphasis mine) Preachers of the word of God are also supposed to be the doers but recent happenings in the house of God reveal that is not the case. Some couple of months ago, cerebral pastor and politician, Chris Okotie separated from his second wife of less than 5 years and while we were still yet to come to terms of his separation, another ‘man of God, Bishop David Benenoch of Communion Church, Lagos, is on the verge of divorcing his wife of 20 years, Pastor Esther Benenoch.

In a show of unwavering faith in God and staunch belief in the institution of marriage, the embattled pastor wrote among others, ‘One of the best decisions i have made in life is being married to my husband, it’s one thing am glad and grateful to God for’ in a blog post titled ‘No Regrets’. Here’s the full post on her blog unedited:

Regret is an emotion that we should not give our selves to as believers. For as an emotion it does not take us far with God neither does it give us the spiritual results that we seek.   Feelings of remorse is temporal and has it’s foundation in the flesh, it is carnal and therefore can not please God.  king Saul regreted his actions in not killing king Agag and sparing some the cattle and sheep. His remorse was fleeting and not heart felt because first he blamed the people and he did to save face or gain respect from Samuel and the people.
