lanrefront1: the reasons stated in suit as reason for divorce was posted on online on UK cable news. They do have access to these things, i.e these kind of information. You think there wee fabricated. please say something else. the suit filed by the law firm representing Anita is there for everyone to see.

if the contents was not what the law firm filed, they will definitely have come out to refute it.

ogunaofor: They have affected the world in more ways than your pastor, point being that the fact that you are affecting the world does not mean you are led by the spirit of God.

ogunaofor: Bill Gates , steve jobs, richard branson many others without the Holy Spirit

Eruditor: I know alot about the MOG Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and his wife not just because I have been a member of his church for a very long time but because I have asked questions from people who have been here longer than myself and have known him too, on a very personal level.

I must say that without a doubt he got a definite call from God to take God's divine presence to the nations of the world and demonstrate the character of his Spirit. It is with this vision that the MOG ran with that started out as a fellowship and developed into what you have of it today.

The man fears God (in a reverential way) not just because he is a christian and one called into the 5-fold ministry but because the anointing on his life is very tangible such that it could kill him if decides to walk contrary to his calling- which is to walk in love, righteousness and true holiness as is expected of a man of God- one who Pastors a very large followership world wide.

It is for this reason (and many others that I may mention should time afford me) that I know without a doubt that the prevarications and fabrications of misled individuals some of which are Christians are only done under the inspiration of demons who want to strike the shepherd so that the sheep will be scattered.

Before I say anymore, let me talk about his beloved wife, Rev. Anita Oyakhilome. I have heard her husband say to Winnie Mandela in South Africa that she's of mixed decent as her Dad is an Edo Nigerian while her mum is from Switzerland. She, like her husband gave her heart to Christ at an early age. While I may have lost the exact age she was when she became born again her husband gave his heart to Christ at the age of 9 and both have been that way ever since.

She's one of the founding members of the ministry that began in the early 80s and has a specific grace in the areas of establishing and nurturing churches; mentoring mothers and wives and infact women in general. She also functions in a very tangible anointing from God and if you have ever met her you would feel it without her saying a word.

Pastor Chris (if I am allowed to say) worships the ground she walks on and she does he. She loves and respects him and he does too. They are very private people and have never been known to go to the media let alone divulge personal issues to them. So anyone believing in those lies about her lawyers going to PREMIUM news or Vanguard or what not are doing so at their own peril. It is not just her style.

I have a friend (who used to be on NL but has ceased to do so in years now) who drove Pastor Anita to the airport in 2001 when one other minister in Nigeria was criticising her husband. In the course of the journey, he decided to engage her and ask her for her opinion on the matter. He had heard her preach about the love of God and turning the other cheek to persecutors but somehow he wanted to know how she really felt. He said she was saying a lot of kind things about the man and concluded that the power of God will shine forth from such a situation. That's the Pastor Anita I know.

She started a church in Ojo, Agboju area (close to Alakija) and was able to change it from a former warehouse cum spare parts garage to a world class facility before 1999 when she got a different assignment. She did this in about 3 years with the help of many son's of Consolation as are prevalent in our ministry. How they procured the property and developed it into what it is today or how they have grown many satellite churches in and around that region is another days talk but the current Pastor of that church, Shola Olubode is a testimony to her grace.

It was in 1999 that she was given that assignment by her MOG (who happens to be her husband too) to go to the UK to help establish the church that was just burgeoning at the time. There's nothing more to say about that as the evidences of her grace is known to all who seeks the truth. She has taken what some may have referred to as a Ram shackle years back and turned it into what it is today and she has established many other churches around Europe and even part of the Americas.

Pastor Anita and Chris have always found time to see and train their Children together regardless of the pressures of ministry. I know this because apart from his words I am friends with a couple of people who know him to the point of walking in and out of his abode at will.

There was a time when one of their daughters all of a sudden could not walk and Pastor Chris kept speaking the word of God to her even when there was no physical change. He told us how he would have to travel and would tell his wife to keep speaking the word when he is away saying to the girl's legs "you would walk, you would run, you would jump". To cut a long story short, one day, the young girl shocked her parents as she leaped out of the car and ran to him when he took them to a mall.

I know of another time when he took his wife to Switzerland on their wedding anniversary. The workers in the hotel didn't recognise them till someone divulged the information to them. On the day they checked out, the whole staff of the Hotel including the management came to bid them farewell. But you would not know all this because it is not on the news.

I am aware that atleast once every year he travels out to spend time with his wife and kids (not only when Church programmes are on schedule) and I know that Pastor Anita is always in Nigeria (especially during IPPC) in November to see him amongst other things. My younger brother has helped in the white house (where the President of CEC stays) and on many occasions he ran into Pastor Anita. Besides, the names that were touted as "unmarried women working with him" is another vicious lie from his traducers.

The White House as we know it was built by the ministry and has various facilities suited to the ministry. The most important aspect of it is the Studio that Pastor Chris uses to host some of his question-answering sessions. If he had his way, he would never travel out of Nigeria and would rather preach from his studio. That's why I laugh when see posters calling him a gallivanter and saying he loves to travel around the world.

Pastor Deola Phillips (the outgoing CEO of CEC) and the present(the Medical doctor) are both women of God who have been in the ministry for more than 23 years. They are married women with Children and they are fully dedicated to the work of the ministry. It is wicked and insulting to regard them as "girls or part of Chris' itinerary" as if they are new. These women also love and respect Pastor Anita not just as a senior Pastor but as the wife of the president of the ministry.

I will continue shortly. . .

Bobby4090: "And when it comes to Rev. Anita, what I'd say to you is pray for her, don't act like 'why why why is she....".

Mr Chris... your just a swine and a womanizer. You are having problems with your wife, its not just her that needs prayers, its both of you that needs prayers. Your comments above should be "pray for us" and not just "pray for her". But your arrogance and pride will not allow you say that hence you have crashed your marriage and will make your childrens life miserable henceforth. May God deliver you from this your empty arrogance and blindness.

Boss13: The above shows an arrogant man indulging in creative deception. Your wife is not a woman of God but you appointed her to lead your UK division. She co-authors your daily devotional book. She preaches too and also claim to heal. Come Mr. Chris you can deceive your members but you cannot deceive the public. Which God made you his man? Mr. Chris you are a sexist and a man who demoralize women. Why did you marry her initially? Please people should quit quoting an imaginary devil that does not exist. Mr. Chris is the devil - anyone who lies and deceive in the name of religion is the devil.

Wallade: Pardon my inability to read well and understand. However, I wonder why Pastor Chris sited that case "the wife of a Man of God is not automatically a Woman of God" if it wasn't meant to clarify the status of his wife or slight her. I beg to differ, I don't think a man should make direct or indirect derogatory, despicable or hurtful statements about his wife in public, it is disrespectful.
I am so sorry, I don't mean to offend, I hope no offence is taken.

remsonik: Pls before you start playing pastor chris advocate here, I wanna ask you a few questions.
Why do your pastor bleach and curls his hair??

Why don't they live together after 16 years of marriage and the church doesn't request that of him??

Don't you think if they have lived together she would ve understand his vision better and be able to carry forth the vision of the ministry??

Why didn't pastor chris address the issue rather he took time to throw jabs at his wife in this post??

He would ve kept quiet afterall the church is incorporated and its his personal business so he doesn't owe you guys an apology.

I only pity the followers,you guys have been molested,raped and wounded. A woman have needs and so a man but if you deny eachother of your needs when u are married then you are an infidel.

nep2ra: Nigerians and busybody...

Pastor Chris has a right to privacy in dealing with his marital issues. Easier said than done when you are always in the public eye.

That said, the level of 'mumuism' and 'follow-followism' among CEC members is appalling to say the least.

Is it Nigerian Christians or Christians in general? Why do certain Christians switch off their brains when it concerns matters of 'Churchianity'?

Reading the comments of these brainwashed fanatics only shows that Nigerian youths have a very looooooong way to go.

Just look at how potentials are wasted all in the name of Christianity?

Mein Gott!

Before any loud mouth, empty brain, slow-poke opens their odoriferous buccal cavity to spew trash, please know that I was in BLW (infact, pioneered BLW at a certain private University) attended Christ Embassy, hobnobbed with a few pastors there, e.t.c so I know the workings of CE.

Zwei Dinge sind unendlich: das Universum und die menschliche Dummheit. Aber beim Universum bin ich mir nicht ganz sicher ~ Albert Einstein

Wallade: I am worried about Pastor Chris insinuations that his wife is not a "woman of God". If she is/was a minister in the church for over ten years, has been married to him for over ten years, has been part of the face of Christ Embassy - we see them and hear them on Rhapsody of Reality. I can not understand that insinuation.

Christ Embassy projected her as a minister and woman of God until recently that Pastor Chris said otherwise.

I can't understand why the pastor can't resolve his domestic issues at this stage of his life, so much that he needs the public and the court to judge and resolve his case. This isn't good enough for leadership. It is really late but not too late for the pastor to exhibit humility, tolerance, forgiveness and maturity.
May God help us.

wesley80: Dumb people are the worse critics - fact! Did You imagine I went to church with a camera or that every church service is uploaded on YouTube to satisfy the curiosity of dimwits?

coogar: another story fabricated from the arsë of a baboon. nigerians like you are a disgrace to formal education!

Demdem:
[size=16pt]Ok then, when will u advise Chris to take a break and give his wife the much needed love she has been craving for for the past 16 yrs?[/size]
He shouldn't worry about Gods work, it will still continue to blossom even during his leave of absence afterall it's Gods work not his work.

Dragonking: Pls paste the youtube link here let us believe u..If you cant then you are a lying azzlicking freak.

Demdem:
Foool, it's because u know I hate cocck suckers and attack them wherever I go. Be it Jonaadaft, tinubu, and now Chris.
U eediots knows the truth but has chosen to turn it upside down based on useless reasons.
Chris home is on fire and based on apostle Pauls directive, let him take a break from ministry and sort out his home.
Demdem isn't interested in his downfall but redemption and this he can still acheive this.
With eediots like u surrounding him always shouting preach on Pastor, Chris will never take the right decision.

Dragonking: Can you prove that his daughter sang yesterday that her father has been in canada for a month now? Can you post a link to the video of this your claim? If you cant then you are the one either drunk or intoxicated. So quit lying for your pastor.

Maonyz: You are right dear. Most of our members then were cultists. The question now is, are they still cultists? The answer is NO. You see that you don't even know what a church does! The church is not for the perfect people but for the imperfect! The church is for the prostitutes, the arm robbers, the cultists, the liers. The church is for people who are not perfect to come in and be made perfect, not the other way round.

What of you? Do you go to church? Are you with no sin? How come your church is not criticised for allowing you be a member? Oh! I get! You are not a cultist! So, because your sin and theirs aren't the same, you are free of all charge and be allowed to be a member of a church? What a show of ignorance

MissTeaseMe: They will pretend not to know this scripture now cos it does not favour their pastor's case. I am sure they are presently working on twisting the meaning of this scripture.
Smh
Bunch of brainwashed guymen
Gombs u avoided this. Keep foooling urself

MissTeaseMe: It is pointless trying to reason with them.
Let them be.

MissTeaseMe: I have been reading ur comments.
I opened This thread because i want to see this issue sincerely resolved. I love pastor Chris and his efforts in spreading the Gospel, but so far i realized something abt this thread,
YOU ARE A BLINDED LIER BY CHOICE!!!
You mentioned the achievements of pastor Chris as a criteria for all of us to just shut up and accept WHATEVER he says, all because he has achieved so much.
If achievements justifies a man, WHY not listen to Mohammed, who as achieved FAR more than pastor Chis has?

You keep talking about haters hating pastor chris, lol...
Just read ur original post and tell me the man did not sound manipulative, all of a sudden Pastor Anita is not relevant? The same pastor Anita?

All of a sudden she shld be put at the backstage, so he just realized this?

You guys are just a bunch of hypocrites!

No need replying me. Keep fooling urself, keep manipulating the word at every turn to suit and justify yourself.
This man is just tooooooo arrogant! Cant put his home in order and keeps hitting at Anita, it must all be her fault. The first time he talked abt it, he said she keeps bad friends, he just gotta blame her. Just spicing it up with "pray for her"


Thank you my sister. Honestly i hate reasoning with some people cos they have made up their minds never to be reasonable thinking it is a sign of faith and faithfulness even when it contradicts the word of God.

Dragonking: How is he on course with God by separating his wife and family from himself for 16years?

monex: you said one needed to have the followership Pst Chris has to talk down on him

similarly he is saying that you need to have Mohammed's followership to talk down on him too. I see Xtains doing that

FrancisDiote: OP you still havnt given me a reason why a man of God would stay away from his wife and children for 16 years. Did the same God who instituted marriage gave order for the seperation? Abeg, God is not a confused God.

Demdem: With due respect to all CE members. Ur pastor Chris has no business on the pulpit until his home is secure and healthy.
Ask him to take a year off and do some serious loving with Anita. Anita was pushed to the wall because of Chris stubbornness but if Chris repent, this marriage can still be salvaged.
Demdem took the same stance when okotie debacle happened. This won't also be an exception.
Family before ministry.

Joagbaje: And how do you know effort wasn't being made and still not being made for her to come back home?

hifaif: Before you talk down on Mohammed, you must have written a book and instituted a religion with over a billion followers.

Is Oyaks the creator that no one should talk down on? The last time I checked, he was a man like me. He is even more vain than I am. Jerry curls his hair and speaks with funny accent.

trustman: The one you made bold is MY STATEMENT. I was not quoting him. But because you want to avoid the substance of my post you have conveniently twisted it. Now answer if you can.

olaeffect: I am not a member of his Church but we are members of one body; the body of Christ, so injury to one is injury to all, thus I go on knees and pray for the man of God, may the love and peace of Christ be released into this matter.

Can I hear an Amen from those that consider themselves a member of the body of Christ.
