preacher at 107, 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.
Sadela, founder of Gospel Apostolic Church, has been on the
pulpit for 75 years. Sadela 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 marriage with Christiana Sadela is "a fulfilment of the
scripture and worthy of thanksgiving and appreciation to
God", his church said in a statement. "Nothing is impossible
for God," he said.
