Divorce suit: Pray for Rev Anita- Oyakhilome



Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy has responded to allegations against him following the divorce case filed by his wife, Anita.

He spoke on Sunday evening during the global communion service of the Church streamed from Canada.

The following is a transcript from the service

“I heard that some media houses – especially in Nigeria – are writing some things against me. All sorts of frivolous charges, that’s crazy,” he said. “You have to understand something about a man of God. A man of God is not just someone who worships God or preaches God. A man of God is handpicked by God, set on course by God. If you study the scriptures, you will not find one man of God go against God, sinning against God. “The only things you might find will be a man of God, maybe in two different kinds of ways. Moses, for example; when he struck the rock twice, [he] was provoked by the anger of the people. [It was] not because he wanted to do something against the Lord. No man of God does something against the Lord. “Are you hearing me? A man of God is set on a course; there is a type of life that he is given. Then you have a young man, a young prophet; he wasn’t named; he was deceived by another man of God and so he went in a direction that God said ‘don’t go’. “That is the only kind of thing you find about a man of God when he misses the message of God or he acts beyond what God said. But a man of God settles himself in the fight against the world… like those writing those silly things about me, that I did this and I did that. “You don’t know who a man of God is. I don’t go in that direction. I wasn’t accused of the things you said, nor did I commit those silly things that you said and I don’t need to go into that level in such discussions.

Jesus Christ was accused by many – a lot of frivolous charges. There will always be those who would like for it to be true. But you know, in spite of the accusations against Jesus, It didn’t change who he was. It didn’t change him. “There are preachers and there are men of God. I am not a preacher; I am a man of God and I go in the way I’m asked to go. It may cause some troubles with individuals but that’s not because I have done something wrong and when it comes to Reverend Anita, what I will say to you is ‘pray for her’. “Don’t act like those people. If you are married to a man of God, it doesn’t make you automatically mature. You can make mistakes; you can do something that is wrong. But some people expect the wife of a minister to definitely be at the level of that minister and so they may be looked upon and the expectation may be like that, but it’s a positional thing. “If a man of God is married, it doesn’t automatically mean that the wife of a man of God is therefore a woman of God. That’s not the way it is in the Bible.

That’s why you don’t really find the wives of men of God mentioned in the Bible. How many of them? Who was Peter’s wife, did you ever know her name? You never find that out. Who was John’s wife? Did you ever read the name? What about all the other Apostles? How many of their names are written in the Bible. You never find their names.” At this point, one of the female pastors sought to know why the names of wives of the men of God were not found in the Bible. Oyakhilome’s response was that she should ask God whenever she finds him. “Why? You ask God when you find him. Ask God when you find him,” he exclaimed. “So, they are little things; don’t try to make something big out of them. So when journeying, doing the things that God called us to do, Christians should not have a divorce; it shouldn’t be but you see, that doesn’t mean a Christian may not take the step. “They may do it but [they] have to make things right and we shouldn’t take one another to court. But when it happens, not that we don’t just want to go, it means someone is taking us there. That’s a problem, but be wise and stay focused in the word of God and don’t let those who want to feast on things like this, including Christians… “There are Christians who like things like this; they want to make something big out of this: ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, we said it’. You said what? Judge nothing before the time. Be wise. Glory to God. “So we are not working in sin and living in sin and hoping that we can mix sin and righteousness together. We are the manifestation of his righteousness. We walk in that light only, and that’s the way it’s gonna be.”

when pastor chris enters the court 'box' swears an oath and put under cross examination by defendants lawyer to answer some embarasing questions, what he try to explain here will be irrelevant, so lets wait for the trial!

U sound quite excited... Lol

David still regarded saul ,as the anointed of God, even Saul had gone south looong looong ago.
Point is God can reject his anointed for gross misconduct.
Saul was rejected.
The prophet tht God told not to eat in another man's house but disobeyed was killed by a lion -he lost his protection.
Moses, died before entering the promise land.
Eli and his entire family were cutoff. And debarred from the priestly lineage.
Wasnt Eli a man of God?
Judas was replaced . Wasnt judas iscariot a man of God?
Why was he replaced? Why was Eli and sons replaced? Why was Saul replaced?
Why was Even king David almost replaced?
Samson with all his great might tht cudnt b assailed fell to a woman.

In David's case p*ssi did him in.
Guy saw d cat and cudnt think str8 anymore.
Judas- money clobbered him.
Eli's sons- sex
gehazi - money.
Moses - rashness ,anger.
Samson - sex

So who says a man of God cant b rejected?

This pastor anita sef. She has faltered seriously. Cudnt they hav settled this thing without all d messy publicity of a secular court case?
Anita: Chris,you've been sleeping around . I want a divorce
Chris: No, i havent
Anita : yes, you have
Chris: No, i have not
Anita: (rolls eyes) Yes you have.
Chris: No No No. The burden of proof is on you.
Anita: ok,i'll call in the lawyer to see if an amicable divorce can be reached
Chris: how about thinkg about it for a few months
(6 months l8r)
Anita: i've thought about it.
I think it is in our ministries best interest and christians watching us (our mentees) . To patch up our marraige instead of divorce.
Promise me you won't sleep around again.
Chris: i promise dear.
Anita: ok, let's pray over it.
(Anita and Chris kneel down to pray . Curtains fall )

* note Chris promised not to sleep around again... . Meaning, He'd been doing it bf *
