The Founder of Household of God Church, Rev Chris Okotie, has said he is not interested in getting married for the third time.
Okotie was first married to Tina before the marriage ended in 2001.
The 64-year-old cleric later got married to Stephanie Henshaw in 2008.
The union, however, ended in 2012.
Okotie, in an interview with BBC Pidgin, said God called him to be celibate like the biblical Apostle Paul but he did not understand until he grew older.
The cleric, who has been campaigning for the inauguration of an interim government with the main objective of restructuring the country, added that he won’t be getting married again because “Jesus has already told me that one has ended”.

When asked if he would have another wife, Okotie said: “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 the university at the time I did not understand the will of God for my life.
“I always said I wanted my own family and all that and I went and did what I wanted. But when my marriage didn’t work twice because I consider myself one of the best husbands that have ever lived on this earth.
“Even people that know me will tell you and yet it didn’t work out. I had asked my master what was happening. Then he said to me that I didn’t call you for this type of thing.
“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,” the cleric stated.
