instead of them to encourage the man so that he ll use his annointing to drive out the violent demons and subdue the criminals and murderers running amok in their country,they are planning to drive him out and allowing satan to re open his headquarters that has been shut,not even talking of the taxes the man pays,i really dont know why the man left nigeria in the first place,hopefully he will go back to the country where he is appreciated before they hurt him 1 Like |

I don't see any reason why men of God would insist on performing miracles to get attention. Preaching the word of God is sufficient to win souls to God. |

If there is any place where the people need deliverance, salvation, and the church to show itself true, it is in Nigeria. I see no reason for these pastors to go out to other lands claiming they are out there to put out fire, while fire continuesto burn down their own land and everyone sees it from thousands of miles away. I know I do not know who sent him down there but if I were a South African, I would surely be one of those enquiring as to why he, the pastor, after seeing the many sick, and demon possessed, in his own country, would rather go out to "heal" those in another man’s country instead. |

Kobojunkie:Thanks and especially for this statement in bold. Kobojunkie:To be honest, it's all about expansion and fattening of the pocket, it makes sense trust me. I once went to one of the church branches in Manchester after being convinced by a stranger I met on the street through the normal street journalism, they welcomed me as a new-comer and then switched on the projector and played a DVD to depict that Pastor Chris is welcoming me personally and then the lady preacher told the people not to go to hospitals and instead coud be healed just by praying at the "word of faith" devotion book they've got (can't remember the real name). All that put me off and to be honest that was the last time I went there. @Lucabasi It's cool to have a word with you on here once more however, I hope you know that both home and abroad, Churches don't pay taxes as they're meant to be a form of charity and what right do you have to say that the ills of South African societies (i.e. violent demons and criminals in your own words) are being caused by the demons in the country and could be spiritually healed? Don't you think that's a bit below the belt? |

[size=15pt]Pastor offered me R10 000 to sit in a wheelchair, stand up and walk[/size] 04 April 2008 SPECIAL INVESTIGATION by Getrude Makhafola and Tebogo Monama (This new article is from a South African website) Source: http://www.rainbowfm.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=155&Itemid=74 Nigerian preacher and healer Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has been accused by a member of his own church of staging miracle healing sessions. Some of his followers have said that he has been hiring people to pretend to be sick and disabled and then “be healed” during his television shows and public prayer meetings. A man who did not want to be identified for security reasons said: “I was offered R10 000 to rehearse and pretend to be in a wheelchair three weeks before the all-night prayer called Night of Bliss at the Johannesburg Stadium.”Last weekend Pastor Oyakhilome hosted an all-night prayer at the stadium. The source told Sowetan that he started attending Christ Embassy church in Randburg last year. He was recruited by one of the pastors and told he would be paid if he helped to draw crowds. “The pastor told me that they were looking for people to work for the church.He said that I was going to sit in a wheelchair and be wheeled around while pretending to be physically ill. [img]http://www.sowetan.co.za/thumbnail.aspx?type=mm&id=82370[/img] I would then stand up and walk as soon as Pastor Chris stopped praying for me.”The source also said that the people who are “healed” every time on stage are actually trained weeks before. “Even children who are healthy are whisked around in wheelchairs. Some use crutches. “Everyone is allocated a person who tells the congregation about your background, your specific illness and suffering. “The pastor then raises his hands and places them maybe on your legs if you cannot walk, and a few seconds later you get up and walk around the room,”the source said. He said he called the church the day after their offer and turned them down.“I just told myself that using the word of God to lie to desperate people is immoral, so I refused to take up their offer,” said the source. A woman who went to the all-night prayer service, said: “When he started healing people, I did not see him call anyone from the audience. The people that he ‘healed’ came from a certain section of the audience and it looked like he came with them especially for the event. “I saw a lot of people in wheelchairs leaving the venue who had not been healed. It was very sad.”Lerato Moeketsi told Sowetan she was a loyal follower of the church and was disappointed that she could not make it into the stadium. “I had to turn back because the stadium was full. “There was no way I could go through to receive his blessing,” she said.Thousands of followers jostled for space at the stadium.The seriously ill, mostly disabled and in wheelchairs, went to the service in the hope of being healed by Pastor Chris’s powerful prayer. Another woman, Tshinanne Nemutudi, said she went to the all-night prayer service because she believed in Pastor Chris. “I trust him the way I trust Jesus and God. ”She said she had problems with her ankle but Pastor Chris had healed her. “While he was praying, he said we should all touch our body parts that needed to be healed. He said that if we believed then we would be healed.”Oyakhilome ’s website describes him as a pastor, teacher, healing minister, television host and best-selling author whose career spans 25 years. He runs the church with his wife, Pastor Anita, who is the director of Christ Embassy’s international office and also preaches at the Christ Embassy churches in the United Kingdom. Pastor Chris also hosts a religious programme on TV called Atmosphere for Miracles. At the Randburg branch, brother Onyeka Liozo said what the source and the followers said “was rubbish”. “We have a healing school in Randburg. People ask and get healed. People must stop lying about this holy crusade,” said Liozo. He said that people come from outside South Africa for help. Pastor Chris is both controversial and mysterious. The press is barred from taking pictures at his healing services. Source: http://www.rainbowfm.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=155&Itemid=74 |

*comfort:You are truly a cemented idiot. What a bloody buffoon. @ topic, I have a problem with churches springing out from Nigeria to other countries. Personally for me, it is greed and the hunger for fame, that makes these churches want to establish branches outside of Nigeria. If, with the way Nigeria is at the moment, what kind of salvation message do these churches intend to pass to nations they are entering? When Nigeria itself is plagued by all forms of diseases, eating the nation down. lucabrasi:Has Chris achieved that same feat in Nigeria, before heading off to South Africa? If you come back defending your stance, truly truly, something is wrong with you. |

@kobojunkie, I see no reason for these pastors to go out to other lands claiming they are out there to put out fire, while fire continuesto burn down their own land and everyone sees it from thousands of miles away.Let me respond to this your statement, which appears to be the basis for many's comments regarding why any Naija local Church should not evangelise outside the country. I am not trying to defend Christ Embassy in particular, but the Church itself and its manner of operation as a whole. Have you thought about how the scenario you painted can be considered an indictment on Jesus considering the following statment He made: Luke 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. The Oyinbo men who brought us the Gospel did not do come from perfect societies, neither did the Apostles embark on a world tour only after the whole of Jerusalem become born again. Your argument is seriously flawed. |

Re: South Africans Vow To Sack Christ Embassy by Kobojunkie: 11:02am On Apr 09, 2009 |
Tayo-D: I did consider the implications of my statement and arrived at totally different conclusion than that which you obviously have. If you had bothered to read the rest of the post, you would have most likely not gone ahead to respond as you have chosen to. I don’t like to engage in a lot of these religious debates on here, but I will say in my opinion, I believe the Nigerian pastors and churches have a long way to go as they have yet to start actual ministry work as Paul advised of the church. Was society perfect even when Jesus was here? The church does not have to make society perfect that is not the duty of the church. However it does have to play it’s part and play it well enough for people to actually see the light of Jesus shine to some extent in that community. Were the houses of the oyinbos on fire when they took the trip to bring you, and I, the gospel? When Paul left his friends to go preach, did he leave in the midst of chaos or did he do all he could to ensure peace before he left? No one is asking for perfection, well, except you. All I am saying is the very bible says Charity begins at home. We have so many problems in Nigeria today that the church is desperately needed there. We have a population that claims to be the most religious in the whole world yet it is also among the most cruel, wicked, corrupt, poorest collection of black people in the world etc. If that is not work for the church, I do not know what else would be. If this is all flawed logic to you, then that is fine by me. And to conclude . . . I know I do not know who sent him down there, but if I were a South African, I would surely be one of those enquiring as to why he, the pastor, after seeing the many sick, and demon possessed, in his own country, would rather go out to "heal" those in another man’s country instead. |

Church leaders accept tithes in the name of God. They'll say “God needs your help building the church, ” What does god need with a multi-million dollar church? Nothing. These are the same so-called church leaders that you'll find riding in fancy cars, eating the best foods, living in expensive homes and living the life of wealthy people while their followers scrape and struggle to do “God's will” by tithing. These so-called leaders will lead congregations in the worse of the worse neighborhoods and on their way to church to preach on Sundays or Saturdays or whatever day they declare to be the Sabbath. They will step over the homeless or the less fortunate. |

I would have preferred that Nigerian companies start expanding to South Africa on legitimate business, the MTN came to legitimately "Milk Those Nigerians". Is Nigerian Christianity is the only "business" we have to export? At least, our Banking sector is expanding to West Africa, with good results. |
