A famous prophet, Zagabe Chiluza, has gotten married to four women on the same day in Eastern Congo, Bukur.
According to reports, Mr. Chiluza, who is the head pastor of the popular Eglise Primitive du Seigneur, Yeshua Hamashia Church, in Bukur, Eastern Congo believes strongly in polygamy and therefore, adopted that practice. This is his second marriage, as he reportedly married his first wife a few years ago.
The man of God claimed that he adopted the idea of polygamy from the Bible, citing Jacob, who had four wives, as an example. Justifying his actions, he claimed that God always respected those who married more than one wife.
“Show me where it is written that God said a man should marry only one wife?” Mr. Chiluza questioned.
Mr. Chiluza speaking about his wives disclosed that “they would have to join the senior wife,” adding that “I will marry more women because the idea originated from the bible”.
The self-proclaimed servant of God mentioned that he is an ardent Bible student, however, he made a conscious decision to deviate from other denominations on the idea of polygamy.
“Jacob married one wife and was awarded another, didn’t he? After that, he married more wives. Jacob had many wives, Leah and Rachel, then Bilhah and Zilpa, four wives for one man”.
Mr. Chiluza
Mr. Chiluza further posited that there are a lot of biblical examples of polygamy like “Saul, David and others, didn’t God not interact with them? I am wondering, how can one refuse to marry more than one wife?” he questioned.
Another Pastor in the church, Brother Kalebbe, said God introduced polygamy in the Old Testament and the entire scriptures support it. Giving scriptural backings to his claims, he said: “You can read Matthew 25:1, it reads that, ‘at that time the Kingdom of God would be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom’, and we understand that all the brides would be his wives”.
One of Prophet Chiluza’s members, Isidore Chibagila, said the church is governed according to prophecy and holy scriptures. The single sister, who supports polygamy, also shared her thoughts on the church’s doctrine, and she said: “God himself supports polygamy as Apostle Paul said. it is said that there will only be virgins in heaven”.
Friends, family, and congregation members attended the prophet’s unusual wedding. Many people gathered to celebrate the ‘anointed man of God’ on his wedding day.
“I am glad to have five wives around me. If you want to marry many wives like Abraham, say, Amen. As you rejoice with us, Abraham will see you though he is seated in heaven. May God bless you,” the popular cleric told the excited guests at the wedding.
The guests, in turn, danced along with the prophet and his four wives, praising God. The church blessed them and officially pronounced them husband and wife.
Other controversial doctrines
Mr. Chiluza said his church serves the people the truth, and they have the option of practicing it.
According to him, one of his unconventional teachings is that “Cain is not the son of Adam”. The pastor claimed it’s a long biblical story in the book of Genesis and explained that Cain was the son of the serpent. According to him, those who do not believe in the scriptures are the sons of the serpent, like Cain.
“Even Jesus, referring to Cain as the son of the serpent, said, ‘Sons of vampires, how would you escape the judgment,” Mr. Chiluza averred.
Per reports, in one of his numerous sermons, Mr. Chiluza suggested that men should not marry girls who are virgins.
