Leader and founder of the Great Fire Pentecostal Church, Bishop Bonegas
The leader and founder of the Great Fire Pentecostal Church, Bishop Bonegas, has recalled a traumatic experience he faced after his marriage ended ten years ago.
In an interview with Zionfelix on February 26, 2025, Bishop Bonegas shared that his wife took him to court during a challenging period in his career and filed for divorce.
He emphasized that he did not seek spiritual guidance before marrying his former wife, making their union his greatest regret in life.
“I have gone through a divorce before. I was not the one who requested the marriage be dissolved. My ex-wife took me to court when I was facing difficulties in my career. She told the court she no longer wanted to be in the marriage and requested half of my property. I couldn’t force her to stay married to me.
“I didn’t pray to God about my marriage before settling down. I was blinded by love, so I failed to do the necessary things I should have done as a spiritual person. Ironically, I prayed for others before their marriages, and none of them have divorced. I got married to my ex-wife just six months after meeting her,” he recounted.
Reflecting on the lessons from his dissolved marriage, Bishop Bonegas stated that he has no plans to remarry anytime soon.
“The way you handle your personal issues determines how people talk about them. It has been ten years since my divorce from 2015 to 2025 and I have decided to focus on my career. The case was handled at an Accra High Court, and it took four years to resolve. For now, I have no plans of getting married again; my focus is on my career,” he added.
He also advised Ghanaians, especially unmarried individuals, to refrain from publicly criticizing couples going through divorce.
“When it comes to divorce cases, it is not advisable to discuss them publicly. So when you hear that a man of God or anyone else is going through a divorce, be mindful of how you talk about it. That is why I avoid discussing divorce cases,” he concluded.
