Tinotenda Hove- Lily Java has publicly addressed her separation from controversial preacher Panganai Java, widely known as Prophet Passion, offering her perspective on the end of their marriage.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Lily confirmed that the marriage had legally ended some time ago, describing the decision as one reached after deep reflection and spiritual consideration.

“After prayer, counsel, and much reflection, I want to formally acknowledge that my marriage has been legally dissolved for some time,” she said.

She acknowledged that the transition has marked a significant turning point in both their lives but emphasized that their commitment to their children remains unchanged.

“While our covenant as husband and wife has ended, our shared responsibility as parents remains. Our three sons continue to be our highest priority, and we are committed to raising them with stability, love, and intentional care.”

Lily also made it clear that she and Passion Java are now walking entirely separate paths, both personally and spiritually.

“I want to make it clear that our lives, callings, and ministries now move forward separately. We are no longer connected in marriage, leadership, or vision. Each of us is pursuing the individual path and assignment God has entrusted to us.”

She stressed that the decision to end the marriage was not taken lightly.
“This decision was not made casually. It was made with sobriety, clarity, and conviction. Choosing peace does not mean endorsing the past; it means choosing wisdom for the future.”

As they begin new chapters in their lives, Lily appealed for privacy and respect.
“As we continue into new chapters, we ask for understanding, discretion, and prayer. We also kindly ask that our names, callings, and journeys be respected as distinct and separate.”

She concluded by reaffirming her focus on personal growth and faith.

“My focus remains forward — on healing, growth, our children, and fulfilling God’s purpose individually. Thank you for your prayers and for allowing space for grace as we both move ahead.”

The statement marks her first detailed public remarks since news of the divorce became widely known.
