Looks like members of Chris Oyakhilome's Christ
Embassy church are divided over his split from his
wife Anita who filed for divorce a few months ago on
the grounds of 'unreasonable behaviour' and
'adultery'. On a Facebook page called 'Where is Rev.
Anita Oyakhilome,' some members are putting their
pastors and church on blast...
Yesterday, one member wrote
"I am a Christ Embassy member. I hate one thing
there: How can a pastor be working together with a
lady hand in hand, attending meetings and lodging
in a hotel for days. My girlfriend travels with our
branch pastor annually for PPCF which holds in
Lagos. Only God knows." Continue...
Another one wrote;
"Pastor Chris Oyakhilome must have been discovered
compromising his marital bed business. It is what it
is. God says judgement will start from His house.
'Touch not my anointed' is God's instruction
regarding all His children, not an individual
nicking, scheming, threatening monies off people's
purses and telling them that salvation is tied to tithes
and that seed sowing is only money donation to the
church/pastor's coffers. One down, more to roll.
Christ be praised."
Another member of the page wrote
" I and my family left Christ Embassy for our own
good after worshiping there for three years plus and
seeing all the things going on under the disguise of
church. And I can comfortably say that for over a
year now, we have had so much peace in our
Christian lives. I don't care how you view my
comment but truth must be told."
Joseph Osagiede, however, responded saying the
Oyakhilomes were still together. He said,
"I have been in Christ Embassy for 12 years. All is
totally well with thier marriage. All those wishing
them to split and also those going about saying nasty
things about the church, be careful." Faith
Ebunoluwa Adetayo also said, "I have been in Christ
Embassy since 1990s and I can authoritatively say
some things: I have seen the power of God work,
demonstrated in healings and many other things. I
have seen how that Pastor Chris is less concerned
about mistakes we make. "He believes that these sins
of the flesh will disappear, only if we listen to the
word of God. Rather than condemning us, he speaks
words of encouragement. And for your information,
Pastor Anita is still very much in the ministry and
she's with her darling husband."
Meanwhile, the Christ Embassy has kept mum on
the divorce case.
A woman, who picked Punch's call to the Nigerian
office of the church on Saturday, said she had no
information to give on the matter. When asked to
confirm if the divorce suit was true or not, she simply
said, "I have no information to give on the matter."
When another call was made to the church thorough
another number, the respondent, who identified
herself as Pastor Christabel, said the church had no
information about the case. "No, we have no
information on the matter," she said.
