Pastor Chris's grand father had four brothers... One of them was the Founder of AG in Nigeria. This man prophesied concerning pastor Chris and watched over him from his birth until his teenage years as a Christian worker, ensuring that he walked in the path of his destiny. Pastor Chris' grand dad was his first convert... who also became a Pastor in AG.

Where is the fact that he and Anita are divorced?
Or is that not a fact worth knowing about him particularly as divorce is unbiblical?

All these are old news Big Cassava known by many people, even I who am in Burkina Faso I know that. If it is to answer the one who gives the reasons why he left Chris Ambassy, it does not make the weight, because the man is not static, it can evolve in time in good as in evil. You have to accept criticism from time to time, it helps to change, to evolve, because no man is perfect, only God is perfection. Peace and love kiss

My dear, as a Redeemed Child of God, you shouldn't be saying this. Are you building the Church of God or are you scattering it?

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is a true man of God. He is not perfect just like everyone of us. Our Role model is Christ. Plz stop using his imperfections to judge him. I don't like when Christians bring each other down. It doesn't bring glory to God. Satan is happy when this happen.

One day in Heaven, we will all look back at this division in the Body of Christ and laugh at our ignorance while on earth.

You have known the truth about the Grace of God. Keep walking in that truth and unveil Christ and His Finished Work. Avoid getting distracted by all you see here. Satan is out to destroy the Church and who is he using to do his work? Fellow Believers!!! Keep on practicing the Presence of Jesus in your life and you won't have time for distractions.

Have a great day my dear.

Are you kidding me? How is calling a wolf a wolf scattering the church?
grin




Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is a true man of God.
Look at you!!! How can you not see that he is a fraud? A peddler of heresies, robber, divorcee, etc is a true man of God? I shake my head for you dear. How did you try him?

He is not perfect just like everyone of us.
Excuses!!! should i also excuse his failure to understand basic doctrines? LOL
Our Role model is Christ. Plz stop using his imperfections to judge him. I don't like when Christians bring each other down. It doesn't bring glory to God. Satan is happy when this happen.
Dear if I am bringing Christians down then may the wrath of God fall on me but guess what? It won't and never would because I know the Lord and I fear Him!!! I'm exposing broods of vipers, ministers of Satan who are the real scatterers! Oh that you may see!!! that these men are not God's.




One day in Heaven, we will all look back at this division in the Body of Christ and laugh at our ignorance while on earth.
I thank my Lord that I once walked in darkness and like a fool followed every wind of doctrine and lacked discernment but God had mercy on me and through His word I've been brought to the light. Everything is so clear in Christ and I see the darkness upon multitudes everyday and I weep! Oh how can you say this? Jiggaz you need to know that we are in a time of apostasy: Mass departure from the faith! How can you be asleep and let criminals steal your soul.


You have known the truth about the Grace of God. Keep walking in that truth and unveil Christ and His Finished Work.
Yes I have and that is what I am doing grin

Avoid getting distracted by all you see here.
You totally don't get smiley
Satan is out to destroy the Church and who is he using to do his work? Fellow Believers!!!
Like Chris Oyaks
Keep on practicing the Presence of Jesus in your life and you won't have time for distractions.
You mean I should keep practicing the presence of another Jesus who the devil has sold to deceive the whole world so that I don't get to expose his fraud? No thanks! Just like my Lord Jesus I would continue to call out ministers of darkness and expose their evil


Have a great day my dear.
Thank you.

Here I am laughing in all known languages. A conman, liar is a true man of God. At least, you have confirmed what those of us who do not believe your nonsense have been saying for years. You have to be a conman to be a man of God.
Thanks for your insight.
