that is a point worth thinking ,maybe he cant perform in bed or cant impregnate his wife.fours years should at least have produced a baby

So because he is a man of. God and his marriage failed you must kill him. For God's. Sake WHAT IF. IT WAS THE WOMAN THAT PACKED OUT ? I would be surprised if any of you bashing the man is married. Your coMments show a lack of experience of the problems of married life

werepeLeri:

You are d aft. No sign of remorse? You want him to come to you crying because you are the one who married for him? Were you at his church when he made the announcement?

Don't be quick to judge guys..... If the decision is mutual, there could be more to what we see or hear. Only keeping our hands crossed and watch events, God help him

Jeze: Pastor Kris Okotie again!

i beg make i hear word, na so some of una wan run for una wife if una get chance. Pastor i like u jo no tolerate nonsence

For personal reasons, I stopped going to church in 1999 and decided to from then on communicate with God one on one.

With the following scandals involving popular pastors, my decision is being justified on a continual basis.

What does one make of :-

Pastor Albert Odulele scandal and jail term (I used to go to his church in 1993 but stopped as I couldn't concentrate due to the amount of mini skirt clad ladies that strutted their stuff around at the time)
Bishop Eddie Long scandal
Bishop Eddie Long's wife filing for divorce
Creflo Dollar's 15 year old daughter calling the cops on him
Benny Hinn's lenghty seperation from his wife
Pastor Douglas Goodman debacle and jail term

All of the above named were highly respected men of God in christian circles that their predicament calls into serious questions whether they still hear from God or whether they are now operating in the flesh after the annointing has departed them.

Only God knows the truth.

One has to be VERY CAREFUL who one CHOOSES to be ones pastor.

The days are really evil and some so called pastors are yielding themselves to filthy lucre and outright immorality. They are falling right left and centre.

Stop placing your pastors on a pedestal.

Some pastors (a.k.a entertainers / fund raisers) are no better than a musician who plays every Sunday in an Auditorium (a.k.a Church) to music lovers (a.k.a church goers) who have paid their gate fees (a.k.a tithes / offering / pledges) to watch the entertainer / pastor strut his/her stuff on the stage / pulpit.

Some church members actually have a higher calling from God than the pastor that they subconsciously worship and idolise.

ZUBY77: i am sure this man has councilled thousands of people not to abandon their marriages whether the marriage is working or not. Enslaving many men and women in the name of God while he walks away from his own marriage whenever he wants. Hypo.

One can leave a marriage under certain biblical conditions

Despite all these, we don't have the right to call him names. Let God be the judge of that oo naira land!!!!!!!

I love this preacher man.... Christianity has never looked so fhucked up..

Please can anybody tell me the epithet that fits Chris Okotie - philanderer? twice divorcee? playboy? sex machine? woman deceiver? anointed man of God?

Pastor Chris wants an issue which is not so possible considering his wife's age and his questionable fertility. So he quit the union when he can't find what he sought. I will wait to hear this gist in full. Especially the Stephanie's side of the story.

Never trust a man

This is evil, it is a mokery of christ,let us help him in our prayers we need God's devine intervension

This should be a lesson to people who can not choose a life partner for themselves but depend on what their pastors tell them.

Instead of depending on their gut feeling which may be right or wrong, they rely exclusively on their pastors judgement which may also be right or wrong.

Reading the following interview granted by Rev Chris Okotie just before his wedding in 2008, I begin to wonder if these men of God still hear from God or whether they actually can't recognise the voice of God any more.

Here is Rev Chris Okotie speaking in an interview with the Sun newspaper in 2008 about his impending wedding :-

I’ve been asking her to marry me for a long time and she wouldn’t accept my proposal until not too long ago. I thank God for that.

She was not particularly certain whether it was what God wanted for her. She knew I cared a great deal about her but she didn’t want me to marry her just because I loved her. She wanted me to marry her only if the Lord accedes to it. So I had a situation where I had to get the Lord to persuade her that He is a part of this arrangement.

How did you do it? Did you bribe God? Can God be bribed?

I work for Him and as I said, my life is a catalogue of ordinations and He didn’t speak until He was ready to speak and you cannot coax God to say anything when He doesn’t want to say it or do anything when He doesn’t want to do it. I think at the right time, He made it abundantly clear to her. He had told me from the beginning but she wanted Him to speak to her directly and He did.

I can only tell you that God has been very merciful to me and has been very gracious to me. And because he had already set aside a particular woman for me, knowing my own particular reeds and my peculiar needs, she was able to get us to navigate the convulsions of the man-woman relationship, the labyrinths of his complexities to such a place where I was able to recognize the particular woman that God has put for me and come to love her dearly. So, bottomline has been the grace of God.

You know, when people talk in the world, people say they have a soulmate, trying to define a certain soulish connectivity, but Stephanie is not a soulmate to me. She is a wombmate. That is like the matrix because the word in the New Testament that is translated for brethren is a Greek word. That describes us as being born by the same womb. It is the closest affinity in the relationship that you can have in the physical between two people.

That is the way I see her. I feel that both of us were conceived in the womb of divine destiny and that it was just a matter of time before the arm of Almighty God by a coincidence of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit will bring us to a place where our parts will intersect and it did that many years ago and my life has never been the same.

there will always come a time when we(as humans) have to face reality. the realities of life can never be dismissed by adopted religious doctrines!

If the marriages of Pastors are falling like packs of cards what hope lies in store for that of the non-pastors ??

when you're invited to attend churches that hold on to the bible like Assemblies of God, Apostolic Faith, Redeemed, Deeper Life, Foursquare Church and a host of other sound churches, you were attracted to the churches on the other side, who have no history to call them to order.
Please do not desert church altogether, but try out the aforementioned and some others that haven't lost their head and attend with your eyes and ears 'wide' open.
Cheers.

samkoro:

infidelity, right? Shoulda be the cause?

If this is truth, then no one should attend the household of God again. What example is he showing to others?
