The Bible reference says: \u201cIf he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish\u201d (King James Version).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A video accompanying the post has first wife, Prophetess Lydia Ford, introducing Minister Shakayla Ford as her husband\u2019s second wife. She said they had been privately married for three years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pastor Ford wrote: \u201cI would like to introduce to the world, my second wife, Shakayla Ford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs a nation, we have been taught that a man should have one wife only. This is unbiblical. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI encourage you to watch today\u2019s sermon in its entirety. I understand that this is an unpopular truth that we have gotten away from and many Pastors will not preach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have no plans to choose pleasing man over what God has revealed. People may not accept this and choose to disconnect, and that is ok! <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis life will be over soon and we can all laugh about it in Heaven.
