Founder of Gospel Apostolic Church (Samuel Akinbode Sadela); 107 years old is said to be Nigeria's oldest preacher and has been on the pulpit for 75 years. He first
got married in 1934, and the marriage lasted for 21 years but none of
the couple's seven children lived beyond their infancy.
A second
marriage, consummated in 1965, was blessed with four children, but only
two survived. His second wife died in 2001. And then he met the new
woman of his life, 77 years his junior
The pastor said he derived his strength from God after marrying a 30-year woman.
"The Lord is my strength. I am very strong and energetic," they quoted him as saying after the wedding in Lagos.
The marriage with Christiana Sadela is
"a
fulfillment of the scripture and worthy of thanksgiving and
appreciation to God", his church said in a statement. "Nothing is
impossible for God," he said.
