The founder of the Believers Loveworld Ministries, also known as Christ Embassy, Chris Oyakhilome, on Sunday, enjoined his congregation to refrain from speaking against a man of God. The church also suspended Michelle Okojie, a pastor in Lagos, for her “subversive activities.” The reason for Ms. Okojie’s suspension was not given. At the church’s Sunday service, Mr. Oyakhilome described a man of God – as different from a preacher – as one who had been given a revelation from heaven. “To speak against the man of God is to bring a curse on yourself and your children. When you hear people speaking against a man of God, move away from there.

“Men of God don’t just talk. When they speak, God is forced to move.” Sunday’s service was Mr. Oyakhilome’s first appearance to the Lagos branch since the news of his divorce broke last month, and he meticulously stayed away from discussing the saga. “This is the first service of this nature and I don’t know what you are expecting, but you will be blessed. “It’s gonna be a short service but will be loaded,” Mr. Oyakhilome said. Though he was not physically present at the church’s headquarters in Lagos, he conducted the service via a telecast from the branch in Pretoria, South Africa. At the beginning of the service, the first moment the two large screens at the altar panned from choir to Mr. Oyakhilome, loud cheers erupted inside the capacity filled church in Lagos. Ushers in dark suits and red ties motioned worshippers to their seats as the congregation sang along with a choir showing on the large screens.

Outside, armed police officers and church security officials ensured that everyone coming into the church’s premises was screened by a metal detector. A sign at the entrance warned worshippers that cameras are not allowed into the church. Two Automated Teller Machines belonging to Parallex Micro Finance bank stood at a corner. The service began with the launching of the Loveworld News App, a software application platform where the church will be showing its activities from around the world. Mr. Oyakhilome, in a milk-coloured three-piece suit, sat in a panel comprising of three other pastors who took turns to share their experiences on the benefits of the App to church members. “It makes you aware of the things that are going on in the ministry. It also inspires teenagers and gives them direction in life,” one of the pastors said. “CNN and Fox news are reporting about the war in Ukraine, and then (I got) a breaking news (from the App) that our brethren over there are distributing Rhapsody of Realities. So it is not all gloomy. It was awesome,” another pastor said.

At the end of the pastors’ presentation, Mr. Oyakhilome began his sermon. Speaking on the topic of the day’s preaching, ‘Children of the Word,’ he cited a plethora of Bible verses to encourage his congregation not to stray from God. “Sometimes when you are going through challenges in your life, you many not know what steps to take. He says you should take these scriptures as a light shining in the darkness.” He also used several other Bible passages to explain the difference between a man of God and a preacher as well as spiritually-minded people and carnal-minded people. “A carnal minded person will say ‘How many times do we give offering? One, two, three, four times. Spirit people don’t think like that. A carnal minded person will come into the church and say ‘This place is hot,’ ‘The A/C is not working,’ ‘The fan is not working.’ A spiritually-minded person will instead say ‘How can I contribute to change this place?’ “Say I refuse to be a carnal person.” The congregation chorused after him. Mr. Oyakhilome is also renowned for his healing powers. So just before he rounded up his preaching, he announced a couple of miracle-receivers. “A young man named Appiah, you are deaf in your right ear. You are healed.” Another lady, named Maggie, suffering from migraine, was told that she had been set free; another unnamed “adult” having an infection creeping towards his spinal cord was also told to receive his healing. “There is someone who is not far away from me. You’ve had three seizures in the last six weeks. You are healed. “As you are sitting down, miracles are happening,” he reminded them.”

A pastor is suspended after a list of offerings that included monies for Bible sponsorship, Children/Teens Ministry, Healing School, Reachout Nigeria, partnership with the church, amongst others; it was announced that Michelle Okojie, one of the Lagos pastors, had been suspended from the church. “It has come to our attention that Pastor Michelle Okojie has been visiting church members in private and slandering the ministry, engaging in subversive activities that are against the scriptures,” read the statement issued by Ray Okocha, the church’s Secretary General. Citing Bible passages from Romans 16:17-20 and Titus 3:10 wherein Christians were told to “watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles,” the church warned every member of the congregation to stay away from Ms. Okojie. “The church is not a social club where you can walk in and walk out at will and live disorderly. “Pastor Michelle is hereby suspended from the fellowship. “Avoid her. Do not fellowship with her.

Do not try to counsel her or receive counsel from her. All you can do is direct her to her pastor. “Do not be a partaker of another man’s sin.” Efforts to ascertain from the church members the real reasons for Ms. Okojie’s suspension were unsuccessful as all the church members approached for comments declined to speak. But one who spoke over the telephone said that the pastor was suspended for blasphemy. “She has been suspended for blaspheming against the ministry. But we don’t know exactly why,” said the church member who did not want her name mentioned for faith reasons. “My zonal pastor just told us we should not have communication with her,” the lady added.

Because it is convenient for you with your present ish. Ms. Okojie, I am interested in knowing your side of the story.

a god that a mortal that twist it's hand into doing things is no god. It's a puppet on strings.

It's all about the benjamins baby! Smart move! They have no excuse.

Nice! Stir their emotions, make them think they're bad "carnal" people for not allowing themselves to be milked 1, 2, 3, 4 times and place and ATM machine right there at the centre of the gathering so that once stirred they don't need to think twice.

And the brainwashed sheeple chorused after him.

Relationship expert, Praise Fowowe, who
is a self confessed sex addict turned
relationship and sex counselor, in this
incisive piece gave reasons why the
marriages of some top pastors are
packing up. Find his thought provoking
piece below
1. A man of God is not God, he is a man:
Unfortunately, we treat our men of God
as if they are spirits who don't live in
human body. What do we expect when we
saddle them with our numerous issues.
Unfortunately, many are not wise to say
no to church members whose lives will
continue if they drop dead. Church
members have academic, financial, and
even marital problems, they go to the
pastor as if the man is built to solve every
problem and in our quest to prove that we
are superstars, we also fail to embrace
the use of professionals who are trained
in these things because of our hidden fear
of respect. What stops a man of God who
knows his marriage is in danger to take a
back seat and allow a church member
whose marriage is a model take a
message on a Sunday that marriage is
meant to be discussed? You are not built
to solve every problem.
2. Anointing does not give immunity to
divorce: The same way anointing doesn't
give immunity to sexual sins, it doesn't
also give immunity to divorce. It takes
more than anointing to make a marriage
work. I have seen the people we refer to
as unbelievers build a fantastic marriage
why I have also seen loads of tongue-
talking believers make a shipwreck of
theirs. The most important ingredient to
build a winning marriage isn't prayers, it
is knowledge and if you don't have it, you
can't pray it in. I tell people that your
anointing wouldn't stop you from
sleeping with church members if you have
a sex problem. If you position yourself
around babes consistently in the name of
"My daughter in the lord" and you don't
draw a critical line, it is only a matter of
time. My story is everywhere on how I
was a sex addict in church after being
born again yet leading praise worship and
leading people to Christ until I became
real to myself and went to get help. Every
counselor needs a counselor and every
pastor needs a pastor who may not
necessarily be title carrying person
because the problem with us is that in
this part of the world, we believe that a
laity isn't anointed as long as he doesn't
pastor a large church. If you are beating
your wife, don't pretend you don't have a
problem, you need to get help from a
psychologist or psychiatrist.
3. There is no relationship without
communication and relaxation: So many
men of God don't communicate with their
spouses. You can't expect an abandoned
flower to blossom without your attention. I
think many of us saddle our wives with
church work that they are not prepared
for. I do not believe that because a man is
a pastor necessarily means that his wife
must be a Pastor Mrs. God's callings and
gifting aren't by marriage. I don't
understand the calling that will make a
man of God remain in Nigeria while he
sends his wife to Germany to pastor the
branch of the church over there. Excuse
me, you are a human being who needs
emotional attention. Unfortunately, that is
the reality in many ministries. You are a
man of God on the pulpit but at home, you
are a lover and a father to your children.
So you might learn to drop the bible and
Christianity on the altar so that you can
communicate with your wife and your
children in human language. I was invited
to a meeting years back and I asked the
Pastor's there the last time they had a
dance with their spouses? I was shocked
when they said it was during their
wedding.
4. Isolation isn't spirituality: Jesus never
isolated himself. As a matter of fact, he
was found in everyday places like our
present day shopping malls and movie
houses. I see a lot of young pastors who
have aged faster than they should be
because of Isolation. Something tells us
that we need to isolate ourselves to
receive a word for a people who are being
"pastored" only during the service
because many of them are being
influenced more by their favorite musician
than their pastor. Don't allow church
members turn you into who you are not
because you don't want to hang out with
your babe. They would spread your story
when your marriage breaks down. When
was the last time you met your pastor in
a bus, mall, a restaurant or a cinema? As
a matter of fact, when was the last time
he was stuck in traffic and you saw him?
If your answer is no, then most likely your
pastor is a spirit. If a man wants to live in
isolation, he should please not get
married so that we can save the body of
Christ all this embarrassment.
5. Wisdom is in the city square: If a man
of God is inadequate on a particular
subject, It is not shameful to get help. It is
humility to look for help from people that
have studied that particular subject.
Something to learn from someone we
have categorized as sinner. So when I
hear someone make statements like there
is nothing an unbeliever can teach me, I
often ask who taught you how to speak
English and understand Mathematics. Age
and longevity in ministry is not the same
as wisdom.
