Members of the Christ Embassy are divided over
a divorce suit filed against the Senior Pastor of
the church, Chris Oyakhilome, by wife, Anita, in a
London court.
Oyakhilome is the President of the Believers’
Love World Incorporated, the registered name of
the Christian ministry, while his wife is the Vice
President.
Some members of the church on a Facebook
page, ‘Where is Rev. Anita Oyakhilome,’ which is
believed to have been opened by Anita’s fans,
expressed differing opinions on the matter.
On Saturday, one of the church members, Ijeoma
Olive Ehirim said, “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.”
Sharing a similar view, Samantha Iwowo,
described adultery as one of the grounds for
divorce.
Iwowo said, “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.”
In her post, Chinyere Okechukwu-George,
claimed to have left the church when she
observed some irregularities.
“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 SUNDAY 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.
An online newspaper, The Cable , had reported on
Friday that the divorce case, with Suit No
FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014 at the
Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First
Avenue House, High Holborn, London, the United
Kingdom, on Anita’s behalf by Attwaters
Jameson Hill Solicitors.
Anita reportedly filed for dissolution of the
marriage between her and her pastor husband,
which produced two teenage daughters – Sharon
and Charlyn – on the grounds of “unreasonable
behaviour” and “adultery.”

let us wait what comes out.

..hmmmm...judge not!!!

Judgment will start in His household

interesting....end time tins

hmmmn... Now a confirmed news right, no more a rumour? Judgement shall begin in the house of God indeed!

This is a case of assumed infidelity and proposed divorce, so what judgement are you guys talking about?

ofcus this ain't no news. it's more than expected. but the church of God would still stand and the work of God would move on....... except ofcus the church has been built around these two 'celebrities' which ofcus is what has been done cos in every testimony you hear from their members(technically I am one), you hear smthng like 'i want to thank pastor Chris and Anita.......... ' (which ofcus pisses me off).

I no dey believe story until I dey sure. SO
