Pastor Okotie reveals why he divorce his second wife, Stephanie Henshaw


After four months of ending his second marriage and sent his wife parking, Rev Chris Okotie, senior pastor of the household of God has finally reveals why he took such bold step.
In an interview with City People magazine, Okotie spoke through one of his minister in his church, Rev Grace Funmi Paul, who is also a member of House Hold of God for the past 25 years.
A point from the interview with City People magazine interview reveals that it’s beyond Okotie decision to dumped Stephanie but him (Okotie) working according to God’s instruction;
A culled part from the interview below;
City People: If I get you correctly, it was Jesus instructions for Pastor Chris to part ways with Stephanie?
Rev Grace: Let me give you a precedent. In the bible, there’s a queen called Queen Vershti of Persia. The king invited his wife and said – come woman, I want to show you off to my people and the woman had an attitude. She had pride issues. It was at that point she said to the king “Excuse me, I am making up, how can you be humiliating me by telling me to come and sit down so that people can be looking at me.” So she refused and the people of the kingdom rose up against her, and they said the king must let her go, and that was how Esther came in. That is the principle of The Kingdom. In the two cases of my pastor’s former wives, it was an abdication of roles. One was a physical abdication, and the other was a spiritual abdication. In the matters of the Kingdom of God, when you abdicate your position, your position will be taken over, because the calling my pastor has, he is not called to work alone (Linda says – get ready for another pastor Okotie wedding hehe)
CP: In Stephanie’s case, was it a case of spiritual or physical abdication?
Rev Grace: Her case was spiritual abdication, but either ways it amounts to the same thing, because the scripture states clearly that if unbelieving departs, let him depart, you are not bound.
CP: Any efforts to patch things up?
Rev Grace: Spiritual things can not be patched up. When there are two people who are not the same kind, it is not a matter of patching up.
