During a recent service at her church, Disciples of Christ Ministries, Apostle Lilian Kumah gave an emotional testimony and shared her values regarding her new relationship.
While giving a breakdown of what happened, she narrated how her second husband, Samuel Aryeequaye, convinced her to marry him.
Lilian explains decision to marry Samuel Aryeequaye
The faith minister stated that flawless confidence is not a trait many men possess; however, her new husband, Samuel, has it in abundance.
She further stated that she only looks for three main qualities in men, namely;
"The three main things that attract me to men are: My husband must be bold, he must be diligent, and he must have a vision. My husband has all of these qualities, and more."
Apostle Lilian, who is the General Overseer of Disciples for Christ, further shared that when Samuel went to meet her family, he begged them to fast-track the marriage process because he was sure she was the one.
He reportedly told them that he believed that although many men admired her, they were afraid to approach her and make a move because she is a woman of means.
Samuel, therefore, made his case that since he was the "only bold man" to approach her, he deserved the right to be granted her hand in marriage before someone else came stringing along.
It is on this basis that she felt confident in her decision to remarry so soon after losing her husband. Based on her account, she feels that God has had a big role in nurturing the relationship with Samuel, her new husband.
“I told him yes, look where God took us. I have told Samuel that he cannot hold my hand except..., and we are at the point we are today,” she shared.
Apostle Lilian also expressed deep gratitude to her family from both her mother’s and father’s sides for their unwavering support.
She shared that her family not only approved of the marriage but encouraged her to remarry, reminding her that she was still young.
Lilian opens up about her life perspective
While detailing her broader outlook on life, Apostle Lilian stressed her belief in living fully, regardless of circumstances.
She reiterated that she would seize every moment, even if she has one day to live, stressing that her journey is personal, “Let me finish my race,” she said.
