Apostle Lilian Aryeequaye, widow of the late Ejisu Member of Parliament John Kumah, has shared how she met her new husband, describing the encounter as love at first sight and an answer to her prayer.

Speaking at a thanksgiving service at her church, Disciples of Christ Ministries on Sunday, December 22, 2025, Lilian revealed that she met her husband, Samuel Aryeequaye, unexpectedly while attending church for business purposes.

She said she had never met him before and did not anticipate that the encounter would mark a new chapter in her life.

“By God’s grace, He gives something to wipe your tears when you are crying. I will not allow pain to cage me. No matter what, we move forward.

“I believe in forward ever, backwards never. I didn’t know him, and I had never met him anywhere. I was only here for business purposes, and it was love at first sight as soon as he saw me,” she noted.
