Prophet Kumchacha, founder and leader of Heaven’s Gate Ministries, has shared his views on marriage and its challenges.
In an interview with Zionfelix on February 19, 2025, he stated that marriage holds little value, as it can lead to numerous problems if couples are not compatible.
He further suggested that if Jesus Christ had married, the temptations of marriage might have caused him to falter, potentially preventing him from reaching heaven.
“If marriage were an easy thing, Jesus Christ would have gotten married himself. If Jesus had gotten married, he might as well have missed heaven, especially if he had married a bad woman. Prominent people are crying behind closed doors because of marriage.”
“Marriage comes with a lot of drama, and if we were to come back to life again, I would plead with God to make marriage a contract so people can renew it when they are happy with it. If marriage wasn’t created by God, I would have said it is useless,” he said.
Prophet Kumchacha also noted that a lot of married people are going through depression and other forms of abuse due to settling down with the wrong partner.
“A lot of people have died because of marriage. Because of marriage, people are going through depression and a whole lot of abuse. I see marriage as a poison. If we were to come back to life after death, I would plead with God to stop marriage itself,” he added.
