Today in History: Rev Owusu Bempah finally details why he divorced his wives

On August 28, 2019, the Founder and leader of Glorious Word Power Ministry International, Rev Isaac Owusu Bempah, gave Ghanaians some insights into his three failed marriages.

While addressing his congregants, the controversial preacher explained that if the marriage of a pastor fails, it doesn’t necessarily establish that the said pastor is not from God.

According to him, divorce is an accident which could happen to anyone regardless of one’s status in society or position in the country.

“Divorce is not good but there is nowhere in the Bible which suggests that a pastor who goes through a divorce is not from God. There were great men of God who had marital issues and later divorced. Before you criticize a man of God who has divorced his wife, find out the reason behind his decision,” he said.
