Prophet Kakande speakers out on his five marriages
Prophet Samuel Kakande is the head of The Synagogue Church of all Nations, Uganda, situated at Mulago. He talked to <b>Elvis Basudde</b> about his marriages.
You are known to keep changing wives. Doesn’t the Bible call for monogamy?
If I didn’t believe in monogamy, I would not be separating with them. I would now have five wives. But I first separate with one before I get another one. This shows that I believe in having one wife. If you get a misunderstanding with your partner, it is better to separate and marry another person than fight and kill each other like we read in papers.
You mean if I got a serious problem with my wife, you would allow me to divorce her?
Not all domestic problems are solved by divorce. Some problems have solutions. The first thing couples should do if they have a problem is to pray about it.
But why did prayer fail to solve your previous marital problems?
It is like taking a patient to hospital: he may die or he may be cured.
What are the tips for a successful marriage?
It is a combination of many things; trust, basing your love on Christian teaching, learning and understanding each other and working towards a common interest. But most important, seek God’s guidance.
Don’t women seduce you? Have you ever been tempted to cheat on your wife?
It doesn’t mean that when you are saved you cannot be tempted. Temptations are always there. Of course, there are people with satanic minds who seduce me. Those are the people who need prayers. In fact we all pray for God’s deliverance. If you are set free by the blood of Jesus, you can always fight temptations.
Have you thought of organising a mass wedding like Omega church?
If believers request for it, I will conduct it. I believe in mass weddings because they are cheaper. But so far I have not had such a request.
Are you training your children to take over? Will you bequeath your divine powers to them?
I have no power to transfer powers. It is not a personal property. God’s gifts are for salvation of our souls. Salvation is a gift from God. If my children believe in Jesus Christ, they can get salvation and powers.
How do you defend yourself against people who say you are a false prophet who uses witchcraft?
I can only quote from John 10:19-21. “Again a division resulted among the Jews because of these words. Many of them were saying: He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to him? Others would say: A demon cannot open blind people’s eyes, can it?†So what they did to Jesus is what they are doing to me. I am not surprised.
So who are you?
I am a prophet whose major work is to preach the gospel, pray for the sick, solve people’s problems and develop communities.
