Bishop David Benenoch of Communion Church set to divorce wife of 20 years

During a church service recently, Bishop David Benenoch, the Founding pastor of Communion Church, Lagos and the President Bishop of Communion Church Worldwide,  announced the end of his marriage to his wife of 20 years and mother of his three children, Esther Benenoch. He was said to have told members he’s seeking for divorce for spiritual reasons and didn’t explain further to his stunned worshipers.

On the other hand, it was revealed that Esther Benenoch is a blogger who’s written so many articles on relationships, marriages, and she’s always written against divorce.

Now the big question is how does a writer against divorce get so swallowed up in the problem of divorce that she couldn’t foresee, let alone avert the encroaching disaster?

  1. The fact that she always adviced against divorce does not mean that she wouldn’t come accross such a trial. Please i want to plead with the media to pass this message to the concerned woman. Hello madam, please, this is a test to your faith and teachings never give up. Don’ t allow the devil to win this battle by shifting your ground. The devil want to test your faith against your preaching in other words, the devil want to know if you are what you confessed and preached. For your husband, never approve his divorce request the devil want to use this as a trick to put your marriage at stake. Keep on loving him, respect him and be prayerful even if he drove you out of the house because you refused to sobmit to the divorce request. May good Lord see you through in this battle.

  2. I wonder the type of pastors we have this days, they don’t show any sign of being spiritual @ all. What excuse does he have to divorce his 20 years mirriage saying spiritual reasons, some of you people that call yourself man of God are fake, no Godly fear in you people and you are going to mislead many but God will not allow you guys succed. A time will come when one will no longer go to church again all you have to do is seat in your house and talk to God because you people are not God sent at all. Madam God will be with you and fight this battle for you.

  3. Na wa ooo so now its pastors that are divorcing any how and using spiritual reasons as excuse?? Kai na wa oo! The devil has rili entered the church! Pastor chris okotie has shown them how to do it with “spiritual reasons” now others are following his lead.una well done ooo! Na una sabi pastors indeed

  4. This is a simple case of people removing the dirt in other ppl’s eyes without checking the log in theirs. My dad says that when your neighbour’s house is burning, you should start pouring water on your own roof. The woman has clearly not attended to her husband’s needs and made minimal attempt to improve on her shortcomings. It is not fair to say a pastor should stay in a marriage even if he’s not happy just because he’s a man of the cloth. I don’t know the issues but neither do any of you on this forum. Let any without sin cast the 1st stone!

  6. @Toskom, i attended the Communion Church for a few years and i would truly like to know who you are cause you are a big disappointment. I guess you love your church and Bishop but the truth be told, divorce is unacceptable except if infidelity is involved and Bishop has not come out to say Mama cheated on him… Toskom löok beyond The Communion Church to what the word of God says about divorce.
