For fear of spreading speculations and biases, which could lead to loss of members over the ongoing divorce mess involving Reverend Chris Okotie of the Household of God Church, Oregun, members of the church have been barred from discussing the pastor’s domestic life. A source told National Mirror that the members have been urged to respect the pastor’s view of ending the marriage, considering the portion of the Bible that urged Christians to “get rid of the finger that could lead them to hell.”

The source said that the members were asked to stop discussing the issue because of its perceived implication to their faith.

decision prompted the issue of the press release last Monday by the pastor’s spokesman, Ladi Ayodeji, in which he fore-closed future references to the marital problem.

The announcement about the pastor’s separation from Stephanie Henshaw, a mother of three, came to the congregation as a shock, as they did not have an inkling of what had been happening in their house until it was announced in the church last Sunday.

“The pastor had, prior to the announcement, urged the members to understand his plight and respect his view, after which he told the congregation that he had packed up the marriage with his wife,” the source said.
