Ohio Pastor Israel T. Ford And Spouse Introduce Second Wife

Pastor Lydia Ford made the announcement with her husband during a Sunday sermon at LifeWorks Church in Wickliffe. In a clip shared by Hollywood Unlocked, Ford revealed that she and Prophet Ford were in a polygamous marriage with another woman, Minister Shakayla Ford.

“I want to share that you know Prophet and I, you know, we are living, even right now, um, in what we would call a polygamous marriage,” she said. “My husband, our Prophet, he has a second wife. Y’all know her. Y’all love her. Y’all benefit from her ministry every week. And so, I just want to take this time and just, um, as a pleasure of mine to introduce to y’all Prophet’s wife and my sister in marriage, Minister Shakayla.

Second Wife Claims Marriage Is Will of God

Minister Shakayla Ford then spoke to the congregation, and she had jokes. After she was introduced by her sister-wife, she got up on stage and said, “Wow. Um cat’s out the bag.”

The Prophet’s second wife then claimed the marriage was “the will of God” as she sought to address folks’ concerns about her lifestyle.

“I want to speak to the fact that I know people have questions,” she said. “People have comments and concerns. And one thing that um, you know, I want to address is that, it, it is amazing to know that this is the will of God and to live it. I have not been slight not one bit, and I have gained so much… and I have learned so much from pastor. I mean, he has poured so much into me and into our family… is it the image of what God wants to put in the earth.”
