Renowned Nigerian gospel singer and pastor, Nathaniel Bassey, has opened up about the extraordinary way he met his wife, crediting divine guidance for leading to their union.
A month of prayer and divine conviction
According to Bassey, the journey to marriage was a demonstration of faith and patience, showing the power of trusting God’s plan.
Bassey explained that his wife had committed to a month-long fast at her church, themed “Two Is Better Than One.”
During this period, she felt a strong sense that Bassey was her destined husband but sought unmistakable confirmation before taking any steps.
She prayed for a sign that would leave no doubt about God’s will for her life.
An unexpected sign during church service
The confirmation, Bassey revealed, came in a surprising way during a church service.
While reading from Isaiah 64, the officiating pastor accidentally mentioned Bassey’s name twice. Rather than being a mistake, the repeated reference was interpreted as a clear message from God.
That moment gave his wife the assurance she needed to move forward, and the couple’s marriage followed shortly after.
Faith and guidance in life and marriage
Reflecting on the experience, Bassey encouraged believers to trust God’s guidance in all matters of life, particularly relationships.
He highlighted that prayer, patience, and attentiveness to spiritual signs can lead to outcomes far beyond human planning.
His testimony has inspired many Christians, emphasizing that faith and divine direction can play a decisive role in major life decisions.
