What He told me made me write a 3 – part article titled: The Church, not God is against polygamy published in the Daily Sun of Tuesday, September 23 through Thursday 25th then edited by Femi Adesina who is now President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity. And that it was what He was instituting with His statement in Genesis 2:24 when He said: That is why a man shall leave his parents and cleave to his wife and they shall become one.Ĭontrary to Pastor Adeboye’s 2008 proposition, I did not have to ask the Lord if He was instituting monogamy by creating only Eve as wife for Adam because five years earlier, in 2003, I had raised the issue of multiple – marriage with Him. I am always amazed that these facts do not count with those who say monogamy made God create one wife for Adam. This is be cause, for me, if the Supreme Being created one wife for Adam because He wanted a man to marry one spouse, He would have had a law prohibiting polygamy in the Bible. Given the fact that Pastor Adeboye is a globally famous and revered prelate and one who in 2008 had been a minister of God for 41 years, I was taken aback by his comment. And that anyone who did not believe him should go and ask the Lord. Responding to a question from the newspaper reporter, Sam Eyoboka, if it was proper for a Christian to be polygamous, the RCCG pontiff (chief priest) said the Ancient of Days created only Eve as wife for Adam because He wanted a man to be monogamous.

Since this is the last time I am writing on polygamy in this column after doing so on four occasions in the last ten years due to popular demand, it is necessary to let everyone know what made me to start treating the issue on November 26, 2008, a decade ago on Monday next week. To this day, ten years later, Pastor Adeboye has not responded to my article that God told me He did not create men to be monogamous
