Most Rev. Raphael Oluwaseun Fagbohun, Bishop of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church and President of the African Catholic Apostolic Church, has disclosed the secret behind his father’s many wives while he was alive.

While presiding over his father’s burial on Friday, at St. Thomas Primary School in Ogotun-Ekiti, Ekiti  state, Bishop Fagbohun disclosed that his father married several wives in pursuit of something unique, which he never found.

“My father married several ladies in quest of serenity,” he says, “despite the fact that he couldn’t get in the wives. If you marry one wife, you have one trouble, two wives two troubles, three wives, three troubles, on and on like that. ”

“There is no peace anywhere except in Jesus Christ,” Bishop Fagbohun said. “My father did not realize this until it was too late, after he had married and married and continued to marry more wives thinking that one day he would get what he was looking in them

“But he regretted it when it was too late after discovering that he couldn’t get the peace of mind that he was looking for in them, it was too late before my father later realised that it is only in jesus Christ that you could get what you want, and not in anything else in life.

“Your wife can not give you the desired peace, riches or wealth can not give you the desired peace, it is only Jesus Christ that can give you peace.

“This is why I encourage you all to seek Jesus, he is the only one that can give you peace, I am happy to tell you that,when my   father learnt this, he abandoned everything including his religion and sought jesus Christ.

“I am happy because he knew Jesus Christ before he died. Among many good things that people have been attesting to about my father is that, he was too humble. Also in our family, anybody who is not humble in our family is a bastard.

“Another important thing about my father is that he trained all his children, despite the fact that he has many children, he made sure that, he trained all of us, we have PHDs among his children,  we have medical doctor, nurse, engineer and so on.

“So, I implore all you parents that here in this gathering to train your children, the training we all have recieved from him is our gain and our inheritance, because I assure you that  non of us, I repeat! Non of us the children can live in any 5 houses built by my father.

“Even if any of us inherit such properties,  I am sure that it be sold because the houses he built then are now old fashion for us children,  and so it is better to train your children.

 

“For those parents who prefer to be acquiring properties, I want to tell you today that everything is vanity upon vanity. Out of the 5 houses built by my father, the one that is fairly good out of it is where we are burying him today.

“Unfortunately two, we can not bury him inside any of the beautiful houses, we will still have to bury him outside, so tell me, is everything not vanity? Bishop Fagbohun asked, submitting that people should strive to ensure that they have Christ, adding that once you die, there is nothing again.

“Baami, One Billion words would fail to explain the message of my heart to you, but, allowed me to merely thank you for being a model of humility, hard word, dedication, focus, and caring for humanity,” Bishop Fagbohun wrote in his homage.

“Your example of spirituality without pharisaism, which you came out of religion gave me the courage to pursue authentic Christianity outside of religion.”

“If it hadn’t been for your bold example, I would have decided to die in religion instead of finding true faith.”

“I pledged to uphold your good names by leaving a legacy of love, compassion, humanity, hard-work, dedication, focus, and humanity care.” I’d like to express my gratitude to Baami once more.” He went on to say.
