One Man One Wife

The bible tells us that in the beginning of human race God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof. The rib which the Lord God has taken from a man, made a woman and brought her unto the man.

Madzimai (Johane Masowe)

What is amazing is that when Adam woke up from the deep sleep he opened his mouth and for the first time he opened his mouth and said “This is the bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman because she was taken out of a man (See Genesis 2 verses 21-23). Who told him that?

Looking closely on the above statement one can realise that God’s plan was for each man to have his own wife, and in turn, each woman to have her own husband. This was the perfect will of God from the beginning of human race.

The most strange thing that is happening in the Christian community these days is that fornication and adultery is the order of the day. The million dollar question is that where do they get this from? The answer is clear- they get this from Satan.

There is sect of the men of the clothes which are colloquially called “Mapostoli, or Mapostori” which have the audacity of practising polygamy. This is not done by the congregants only but by the pastors also. Most of the men or “Madzibaba” as they are commonly called have got more than two wives or “Madzimai”.

Apostle Paul wrote a letter to Timothy instructing him that if a man want to be a leader or a deacon, that man must be a man of one wife (1 Timothy 3 verse 12). This is clear that if a church leader or a congregant have got two wives he is committing fornication adultery. God who knows what people do now and see what people do not see- has this to say concerning this matter: “Flee fornication (1 Corinthians 6: 18) and adultery (1 Corinthians 10: 14).”

One of the Mapostori man who preferred anonymity was interviewed by this blogger concerning polygamy and this is what he said: “I do not see any problem for us as Madzibaba to have more than one wives. Check your bible and you will see that Solomon has many wives. Why is this a concern to us, we are practising what the elders in the bible did.”

 After realising ignorance on this man this blogger tried to reason with him but it was to no avail. When told what happened to Solomon after taking wives from the nations where God said he must not marry, this man said that it depend on the heart of a man.

This is clear that many Christians do not see any problem about polygamy. Surely, Christians who support this must repent and accept Jesus as their Lord and personal saviour.

Christians who practise polygamy must know that they are not doing a good thing and the wrath of God is upon them. If they die before they set saved hell is their final destination.
