The Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of
Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, has
described the recent matrimonial
debacle involving Nigeria's charismatic
preacher and founder of Believers Love
World, a.k.a. Christ Embassy, Rev. Chris
Oyakhilome, and his wife, Rev. Anita
Odegwa Oyakhilome - as very disturbing,
arguing that when ministers of God
begin to wash their dirty linen in the
public, it smacks of indiscipline.
According to the ecclesiastical prince of
the Catholic Church, when pastors
refuse to honour the vows they took at
the altar of God, what do they expect
from the ordinary members of their
congregation?Okogie told Vanguard:
"When the going was good, they took
vows on the altar of God to stay
together in sickness and in health,
until death do them part. They
promise to make one another
faithful partner in the presence of
God, their family and friends and
vow to be each other's faithful
partner in sickness and in health, in
good times and in bad, and in joy as
well as in sorrow. They promise to
love one another unconditionally, to
support each other, honor and
respect and cherish themselves for
as long as they both shall live,"
The cardinal argued that as soon as little
challenges arise, the so-called pastors
forget the vow and the spirit of
forgiveness they preach to their
congregations on daily basis and opt for
divorce.
"It shows that they cannot live by
what they preach. The Bible says:
'What God has joined together, let no
man put asunder.' So why are they
putting asunder what the good Lord
has joined together if they are men
of God as they claim?"
Asked what the development portrays
for the Church of God, the cardinal
replied with a question
"What Church are you talking
about?"
He went on:
"It is not good. Are they true pastors?
Good shepherds of the Lord are
expected to do everything to
shepherd their flock including their
spouses even when they err. If God
forgave us in spite of our filth, why
can any man who is truly called
pastor not forgive any malfeasance?"
Okogie blamed the Corporate Affairs
Commission, CAC, which registers every
organization which goes about deceiving
people in the name of church, noting
that there are several "useless"
institutions that have been registered
churches which are currently painting
the Church of God in bad light. www.locogist..nl/2014/09/catholic-archbishop-cardinal-bunmi.html?m=1
