Carry your preaching go one side abeg. We have millions of Christians in Nigeria yet we are one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Ok! So whose fault is it? I bet, you suppose God see bi?
What is the correlation between having Millions of Christians in Nigeria and the state of corruption in the country?

People just lurking in the wait seeking for the slightest opportunity to vent their misguided grievances on other people whereas more valid and intelligent depositions could be made based on facts proportional the subject matter under review...else please you mustn't type!

For God sake wetin concern fish for water and why grass dry for land

amanda2013:
Funny set of people. Fear will kill some people before there time. Una no dey tire for this una conspiracy theories?

Am amazed when and why some people still have to always bring in such arguments of all these being a "CONSPIRACY THEORY". I mean are you kidding me? With all these repositories of fact, citations and references with which the internet and public domain are replete with; yet someone could suggest it's all nothing but a conspiracy theory.
Here's the point, IT IS NOT ABOUT A CONSPIRACY THEOR(IES) RATHER ITS ABOUT AN ACTUAL CONSPIRACY! One that's on a scale of global proportion and the shreds of evidence are too compelling to ignore.

Be wise!

Here is a video I thought to share!

I don’t mind your contribution

I have some very interesting depositions to make...LOADING...

Very interesting and some valid points made especially your reference(s) from the documentations of the book of Jasher.
So much to ponder on.

Quite some interesting thoughts steaming from this today.
So much to think about moving forward but one thing is certain the church must become even more circumspective understanding the times and the seasons.

The answer is simple and has nothing to do with such petty subjects as offerings and tithes but rather it's primarily because the lockdown, wearing of face masks, isolation and social distancing are all unscientific and unnecessary as well as grand theft of our civil liberties, freedoms and rights which are all being hijacked in broad daylight and we are gladly applauding the culprits...that's why those that are against it are truly against it.
It's obvious that there is a global well synchronized conspiracy geared towards achieving an Agenda.

Now the experts are talking tough and backing their disapproval of everything we have been told to comply with as unscientific and unnecessary with strong legal consequences to follow.
The man Chris Oyakhilome was right after all.

Thanks.

Finally people are beginning to wake up and connect the dots....

The only REASONS Pastors may not be happy with lockdown is for the sake of the sheep . Firstly because they know that satan your father is behind this set up .

The church is the only hindrance satan has to carry out his wishes. If he can bring a distraction he can manipulate his way. But the church has adjusted. The church is now expanding in homes and online . Money is never a motive because people have been giving online before now now everyone is giving online.

The other reason is the fact that then church is ordained to gather . The church is a gathering . The church is assembly not individual.

There are however activities and sacraments of the church that cannot be done online. Social distance is a hindrance to some of these .

Social distance is a hindrance to

Water baptism

Laying of hands

Holy Communion

Child dedication

Church weddings

And there are other spiritual blessing of the corporate gathering of the church.

Matthew 18:20
. .For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

All of which are important practices in the body of Christ

ademasta:
Pray for them from home

Many have been doing that not everyone is just sitting back taking this whole lockdown as an holiday for self-gratification purposes. It's not enough to standby assuming a passive disposition waiting for someone to do something rather everyone should sort out what their own contributions should be in restoring joy, peace and hope to those who may have lost it.

So for a Christian by virtue of his or her beliefs/faith it may be first prayer. If that is the case then there shouldn't be any restrictions whatsoever afterall it's assumed we all want the same thing.

petra1:
I said earlier that it's not true that Christian's are afraid of praying for covid cases . But the issue is access

I also went to a covid -19 hospital to pray for the "sick " but from the gate the security asked for my mission I told them, they made calls and said it's not allowed.

I almost left but I went back to ask for opportunity again . They called another official who asked if I'm going to lay hands on them , I said yes if I'm allowed. He said I can't be allowed in . I asked what if i go in and just stretch my hand to pray for each one without touching. They made calls again And said it's not allowed. They said I should pray at the gate . I could not argue much because it's a military environment

Finally I told them I came with packs of bottled water and asked to give them as contribution, they declined at first but later asked me to open the boot , I did they too pictures and asked if it's a prayer water I said "NO " but I can pray over it in the packs of water in their presence. That was what I eventually did .

As I said before . It's not about the church going to pray but it's about permission by government. If you know a convid centre that will allow prayer for the sick I will still appreciate.

Times and situations as the current global crisis are opportunities for us to practice what we preach and here is a very valid example. While the government and the medical team are doing their bits it spells no harm that a Christian or anyone in question can and should do their bit and here a brave and courageous Christian emphatically, based on the teachings of his faith and believe in Jesus Christ decided to identify with the plight of these supposed victims of the virus offering prayers and essential supplies. I think such efforts should be applauded because give or take it's a laudable gesture of love, concern and support.

A Nigerian pharmaceutical company says Covid 19 PANDEMIC IS A MONEY MAKING VENTURE, AND THEY HAVE A DRUG THAT CAN CURE IT WITHIN 72 HOURS, read their Press Statement;

CORONA VIRUS THE PANDEMIC THAT NEVER EXISTED. THE CURE.
BY Dr Paul Olisa Ojeih MD Iris Medical Foundation Drugs and Pharmaceutical.

On March 3rd 2020, I got a call from The Honorable Minister of Information Alhaji Lai Mohammed. It was a 5 minutes call. The call was centered on Iris medical foundation Drugs and it's effectiveness in treating the Corona virus. I was blunt with the minister, I told him the truth I asked him do you people in Abuja want the Cure or you guys just want to be making billions from grants from America, WHO and other international agencies.

The truth is Covid 19 is a curable viral infection that we should not loose sleep over or fret over.

In 1985 there was a major viral out break in Tanzania. The fatality, was percent the death ratio was 10 infection to 9 death on a daily basis. The then president, Julius Nyanrere, invited Prof Dr Paul Ojeih Snr, founder of Iris Medical foundation who stepped into Tanzania and with in 3 months the virus was contained with in 6 months there was a cure.

That virus was treated with a phynto organic drug known as VENEDI ELIXIR. The virus was later classified as Ebola, virus.
I told Nigerians on social media that our government most especially The minister of health, The presidential Task force on Covid 19, The Ncdc, are reaping Nigerians off and making billions from this pandemic that never existed.
In my letter to the minister of information I told him that Covid 19 is perfectly treatable and curable.
I told the minister that I will infect myself with the virus under 73 hours that virus will be cured. I stake my name, my reputation and credibility that Corona virus is a curable disease.

Iris medical foundation drug and pharmaceutical has an authentic cure for this virus, a cure drived, from the enzymes of plants which is pharmacutically engineered to treat complex viral infection.

Our drug VENEDI Elixir for 18 years has been used, in the treatment of HIV viral infection, Herpes Viral infection, Syphilis viral infection and infections that are drug resistant.
I have told the federal government to stop playing games, to stop looting our treasury all in the name of borrowing money to build isolation centres that we don't need. They know the games they are playing .

They don't want to listen because this Covid pandemic is a money making venture, they are putting fears in Nigerians keeping them at home and milking our economy dry.

So far our government has spent billions of Naira, money that would have been put into good use.
The truth they say is bitter, and the bitter truth is Corona virus is another oil boom for some selected criminals In the government. When Madagascar launched their Herbal initiative to get a cure, I drew the attention of the minister of information and culture, who in turn informed the minister of health Dr Osagie, Ehanire, who went on air and said traditional medicine will be inculcated into the fight against Covid 19.

This was never done. While foot dragging, a tiny island nation like Madagascar found a cure through herbal medicine. Then our shameless Chairman of the presidential task force on Covid 19, Boss mustapha, said we were going to import a plane load of the Madagascar herbal cure.

Shame, to the country, Shame, to the government, shame to the minister of health and the Ncdc that have been playing games and politics and making billions off this pandemic that never existed.

I state, once again for the sake of clarity and emphasis that Corona virus is a baby virus a virus that is perfectly curable under 72 hours with Iris medical foundation drug known as VENEDI Elixir.

I have asked the government give me 10 infected patients let's place them on Iris Drugs we keep meeting with a brick wall resistance. Why are they foot dragging, what is their fear and resistance, they play politics meanwhile people are dying, people are loosing their jobs and the country is sliding into recession.

As a patriotic Nigeria, i have done my bid. I have sounded the alarm that Corona virus is a baby virus its a friendly virus that is perfectly curable.

This is a virus that is very stable in clinicals, a virus that does no harm to the body tissues and organs except when not treated.

In essence the virus can be within you and your body system still functions perfectly well with in 72 hours or even longer.

This can not be said of other deadly virus such as Ebola. Immediately Ebola enters your blood stream your immune gets compromised and shuts down with in 48hours, you start bleeding from all bodily pores all openings and orifice with in 72 hours you're dead.

But with Covid 19 you don't even know you're infected because the virus is not a violent virus that takes over your immunity and shuts it down.

We at Iris medical foundation for over 25 years have been into drug research and cure we understand what it means to compound drugs from plants and enzymes and synthesis it into potent cure.

Our founding MD Professor Dr Paul Olisa Ojeih (Professor of Medicine) is a pioneer in Alternative and comparative medicine and has popularised Alternative medicine and sector that China, and Indian have taking the lead on. This is one sector that our government has refuses to encourage and invest in, yet a tiny island nation like Madagascar has created and perfected the cure to Corona vurus.

Finally, when we say we In Iris medical foundation Drugs and pharmaceutical say we have the cure for Corona virus, We indeed have the cure.

All we ask is, for our leaders to stop playing Russian Roulette with our lives and avail Nigerians the cure to the virus. May God help us all.

They say
"STAY AT HOME"

We say
"STAY ALERT! Watch out..."
1 Peter 5:8 (New Living Translation)

According to the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, all truth goes through three steps.
First, it is RIDICULED.
Second, it is VIOLENTLY OPPOSED.
Finally, it is ACCEPTED AS SELF-EVIDENT

They said the man (Chris Oyakhilome) is a conspiracy theorist well only time would tell but perhaps we don't have to wait for long as that which was concealed in grand deceit is beginning to be made manifest in broad daylight.

He who has an ear let him hear the voice of wisdom speak...

Well now its a certified doctor who according to reports was rated among the top 50 doctors in America that's talking, hopefully people would listen since they said a pastor can not be smart enough to know let alone talk about such claims.
The obvious reality is that virtually every claim and red flag Chris Oyakhilome has raised are all proving to be true or at least effectively evoke genuine concerns and inquests by the people who should be asking the right questions which no one was willing to ask. When has it become a crime for someone to speak out as an expression of his fundamental right of freedom of speech against a blatant disregard and disrespect for our dignity as humans in fact the whole idea of this crisis especial the episode of the possibility of a "forced" vaccine is ludicrous, preposterous and an unfathomable insult to our individual intelligence and they say we should keep quiet.

WATCH THIS VIDEO DECIDE FOR YOURSELF!

Why must a so-called vaccine be accompanied with an AGENDA and its been forced systematically on the whole with many including our government not asking questions

When would everyone realize that this whole crisis is artificial just like the concept of scarcity in the world. Imagine how many innocent persons have died in world during this period; people separated from their loved ones even in the last moments of their lives in death at such instance when they'd rather want to stay close enough to show love and support, economies of nations currently hanging on pathetically by a thread strength.
All of these simply justified in the bid to credit an agenda with many casualties as part of collateral damage.

These people are using the power of money to bully the rest of the world fueled by the greed of elected politicians and so-called leaders who can't see beyond their noses short-sighted and narrow-minded.

Pray for Nigeria and her leaders!
DON'T KEEP QUIET...WAKE UP AND LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

I really can't get my head around this whole ostentatiously but systemic and a well calculated attempt of a group of people; whoever they may be, to effectively propagate fear and anxiety on a global scale in the name of what was an EPIDEMIC (so called by the way) but almost as quick as anyone could blink an eyelid, has become a PANDEMIC which sadly sounds like music to the ears of those who profit from it and this it is nothing more than a cynical display of monumental fear mongering.

Even more annoyingly displeasing are the actions and reactions of governments and leaders around the world especially those in Africa many of whom have acted in the form of a well orchestrated, perfectly conducted symphony to the billings of a supposed interest group of persons, and appearing to follow their whims and caprices with surgical precision compliance leaving the rest of us to bear the brunt of their thoroughly uninformed actions. The truth is many of these governments and leaders don't even know what to do, what directions to take and decisions to make in the greater good of their people first; but as it proves to be apparent in many cases, actions taken are for the selfish interest of a few at the detriment of the larger majority of whom it can't be said if they truly care for as claimed.

Why spread fear?
Fear has never been a tool for good but as always for evil. Its even medically proven that such psychological and emotional states of fear and anxiety progressively weakens the immune system of a human being worse still when they now have underlining medical conditions many of whom have been listed among COVID-19 casualties in fatality in an attempt to mate credence to this fear mongering campaign.

These are the simple questions I am asking:
Why spread Fear?
Who benefits from this Fear Mongering?
Who has fear ever helped?
How much of this lock-down is down to fear and how much of it is down to share preventive measures?
Who is responsible for generating the contents in statistics that feeds our fear?

This is not a matter of wishful thinking to ignore or deny the obvious just because we want to hear "goodnews" in self deceit but rather its questioning who is responsible for what we say is OBVIOUS.

LAST LAST, PLEASE WHERE IS OUR OWN ROAD MAP FOR REOPENING OUR SOCIAL-ECONOMIC LIFE IN NIGERIA?

I have been following... The book of revelation is amazing.. what we arei experiencing in the world today so understandable

Exactly!
I have personally studied and read the book of the revelations of John especially when I read in its introduction that "Blessed is anyone who reads it (this book)"
But I have never understood the details of the activities, events and timing of the book like I do now following this special series of teachings by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.

Thank you for your update, but this is not a "reversal of statement", its rather a clarification on his position which never suggested throughout his broadcast that he was against the 5G but that he had concerns about the health risks associated with the technology which sadly nobody including the government were willing to make a topic for conversation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIcc_ZF0MME


So much is being said about COVID-19, 5G and an ensuing "conspiracy" that's unfolding. Whether true or not it's important everyone understand for themselves what these topical issues are, their pros and cons rather than depend on just ear says.

Many people don't make any efforts to want to understand the What, Why, and How of a matter before making conclusions and that's where our biggest problems lies as a society ravaged in ignorance and the ignorance fuelled by poverty and laziness.

The first step to knowing or understanding is to ask the right questions, some of which are; This 5g inspite of all it's replete multifaceted possibilities of beneficial applications, does it have any harmful health implications on us and our environment howbeit long term or short term? If yes, to what degree and what could we do about it especially if we can't avoid it considering its the allegedly the inevitable support base for our future technological "way of life"?

Please watch the video above.

Thank you

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has made history
Published April 9, 2020

‌
Thursday with Abimbola Adelakun


In the past few days, I have watched several videos of my former pastor, Chris Oyakhilome, rehashing conspiracy theories that linked 5G technology with COVID-19. It has been a deeply embarrassing experience for me, watching him talk so confidently about what he has not even tried to understand. Oyakhilome’s church, Christ Embassy, has many upwardly mobile young people. Some of them work in the tech industry and could have put their pastor straight with some quick education on the different natures of technology and disease. How did they allow him to go on the pulpit and be asking people to pray against vaccines? How did it happen that he could pull up poorly designed charts on a large screen in the church and even share several videos that, although confirmed his paranoia, proved nothing substantial about the danger of 5G technology?

Pastor Chris is (or used to be) a modernist. I attended his church at some point partly because he was a skilled preacher of the Word with dazzling stagecraft, and partly because of their taste for tech stuff especially as it concerns modern gadgets. Part of Christ Embassy’s niche has been an unapologetic deployment of the aesthetic of the novel, their perspicacity to employ newer technologies before their counterparts. I do not think there is any church in Nigeria that has as many digital apps as Christ Embassy currently does. They invest in projects that concern using technology to further church experience on-ground and online. They also host frequent workshops where they brainstorm on how to advance churching with modern technology. Watching him now, I cannot reconcile Christ Embassy’s adaptive attitude to technological advancement with his newfound Luddism.

The advent of groundbreaking technology frequently gives rise to concerns and debates about how far humans should go in the bid to transcend existing limitations, but most of Pastor Chris’ assertions about 5G have been so atrocious that I facepalmed in shock. To think that there was a time that I took his sermons to be the very Word of God, and patterned my life based on his prophetic vision. If he could be so bold about what is clearly out of his range of competence, only God knows how much of what he taught us, his flock, were based on similarly poorly informed ideas

There is no point repeating Pastor Chris’ paranoia to offer a rebuttal. Trying to deploy facts to sway people who are already taken by conspiracy theories is usually counter-productive. I have not come across a single conspiracy theorist that can be convinced by facts. They will not only chalk down all your arguments to part of the conspiracy, but you will also end up strengthening their resolve. If Pastor Chris and his followers remain sceptical by the counterarguments offered by the Senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre, London, Matthew Ashimolowo, there is nothing else anyone can say that will move their needle. We cannot do anything about their beliefs, but we can put some ideas out there for the benefit of those who are not sure of what and how to believe.

Of course, Pastor Chris’ cant against 5G technology neatly folds into the history of human reactions against new technology. People have always been threatened by technological changes that change their relationship to time and space because, like it or not, it propels a new way of experiencing the self and the structures of existing relations. The invention of new things from writing to printing, bound books, photography, cars, the telephone, streetlights, the radio, cinema, film, and the Internet has been met with paranoia and moral panic. In the 19th Century, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, people thought it would destroy privacy and social relations. According to one writer, because of telephone communication, “we will soon be nothing but transparent heaps of jelly to each other.” Today, people say pretty much the same thing about mobile phones and social media. We now look back nostalgically at the time when the telephone, the same device they said would ruin social relationships, was a far less-threatening means of technologically-mediated communication.

In 1825, when the Stockton-Darlington Railway opened in North-east England, people expressed fears as Pastor Chris and his followers are doing today. They said the railway was unsafe, that people would fall out of the contraption because of the speed at which trains could travel. Some thought the human body would melt if people travelled as fast as they could do through the railway. Some concerned individuals forewarned that women’s uteruses would fly out of their bodies if trains reached a speed level of 50 miles per hour. Today, we know better than traffic in such ideas anymore. Again, when electricity was being introduced into homes in the USA, people also protested. They warned that if private homes were to be lit, women and children would be unsafe because they would be visible to potential assaulters.

Some of the moral panic that seizes people who fear modern technology also happens because inventions make people see the world differently, and that affects how they relate to religious authority. Religious leaders particularly fear scientific advancement because it changes how people understand the Divine Will. We cannot narrate the history of the Protestant Reformation that changed the history of Europe without talking about the significant role that the invention of print technology played in that event. When Galileo started promoting his heliocentric theories in the 17th Century, the Church opposed the range of his vision because his radical claims challenged religious leaders’ interpretation of the Bible. They did not exactly put their anxieties in the apocalyptic language of the “anti-Christ,” as Pastor Chris is doing, but it was a similar threat of the restructuring of their familiar world. I concede that not every technology has been good for mankind, but one would expect someone of Pastor Chris’ calibre to at least do his homework before spewing 5G truthism and anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.

This 5G conspiracy theory and the link with COVID-19 will not be the end of the moral panic that will seize people. Every day, as science and technology advance its scope of possibilities, people will push back for fear of how it will take the bottom out of their world. They are not alone. There are bioethicists who also make important ethical arguments about human invention, and they challenge inventors to put a moral brake on their enthusiasm as they invent. They urge scientists to be responsible with their vision, and yes, we can be reassured they have our backs. What they do not do, is to ask people to pray against vaccines. That will be illiterate.

YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Coronavirus is from God

Finally, of this one thing I am now convinced: sometime in the future, when the COVID-19 vaccine has been developed and humans have overcome the disease; when the human race- including members of the future Christ Embassy who will inherit Pastor Chris’ church-are doing wonders with 10G technology, they will look back at this time in history and laugh at their founder in the same way we laugh at the wisdom of those who said if God wanted man to fly he would have given man wings. They will be amused at his claims the same way we are when we read historical accounts that tell us that people were once opposed to inventions like the eyeglasses because they thought disabilities were the will of God, and they were not meant to be corrected.

I do not know when that day will be and who will be around to witness it, but I do know that Pastor Chris will be remembered for being the face of 21st Century Luddism in this part of the world. He will be less remembered for the megachurch he built, the scores of young people like me that he nurtured, and even the various healing miracles that he performed. This crass display of ignorance is what will define his legacy. He will go down in history as a prophet, true, but one with a limited vision.

Good!
But lots of misinformation.
Pastor Chris is not particularly against 5G technology especially as you have mentioned yourself he is a protagonist for technology including the "good" talks about
the benefits of the technology in terms of its multifaceted possibilities but please listen to him agàin and understand his underlining concerns tandem to the bigger picture of such cynical agenda as the NWO and other sinister global interests.

So please go back and listen again because the man doesn't always gets involved with public issues per say so for him to speak up, don't you think it's in response to his sense of spiritual and moral duty and responsibility as such he should be taken more seriously? Does he look like someone seeking "cheap" popularity or acceptance?

Thank you

Popular televangelist and the President and Founder of Christ-embassy Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has been all over the news over the new conspiracy about 5G Network and his health Implications, although most of the news are distorted claiming he said " what is killing people is 5G and not corona-virus'' when in fact he actually said '' what killed people in Wuhan-China is 5G'' and as you know China is very strict with information and no one can confidently go to china to do research.



But Pastor Chris dared anyone who thinks he have the information about what really happened in China to come forward with it, No one has done so till date instead you have Pastor Sam Adeyemi Claiming with proof actually that during the Spanish flu churches where closed down also, but that was not the contention, My guess was what Pastor Sam was trying to point out was the second statement which said that the Federal Government Shut down Lagos and Abuja even though the State had already given guidelines, to facilitate the setting up of 5G poles.

Now lets analyze this two claims with what we know, First about Wuhan China from what we know it was not a gradual death for its victim, there where reports of people dying on the streets this even led to the theory that the virus had two strain one that was instant and one that was mild, how do we really know why people that left their home health walked to their destination and suddenly falls down we may never really know because that is definitely not the way corona-virus has been killing people as we have come to see since we are watching it everyday on the news, but one angle that is important why we need to listen to a man like Pastor Chris apart from the stated irregularity is that.



There is a Christ-Embassy Church any where in the world, yes! even in North Korea there is a Christ-embassy Church with members on the ground that have cell meetings and talk about Jesus Christ, that kind of Networking is something no News Organization can Boost of, so with that I think Pastor Chris has access to information only few people can boost of because only people on the ground can really tell you what happened there, and sure if they tell a news organization am sure they will not be bold enough to publish it. Pastor Chris also hinted to this when he said everyone should do their in-dept research and should not throw away the opinion of another person so fast because that person may have access to Information that you don't.

On the other case about the Government closing up Lagos because of 5G we saw from videos that some persons where digging for cables around Lagos question is, is it an essential work? is it only Lagos that can contact corona-virus ? why the rush ? why cant they wait at least for somebody to do research amid the controversy?

these are some of the irregularities around Covid-19 and its not just as simple as one research?

Any intelligent mind however independent and neutral listening to the man would know and agree that conspiracy theory or no conspiracy theory, there are elements of truths in his arguments at least such concepts and topics as 5g and other intelligent debates around the COVID-19 has become public interest in a world (and country) where they expect the larger majority to be mere consumers not asking questions.

You I hear people say "...oh the man is a pastor not an expert, he should focus on preaching in church..." I don't get; didn't he go to school? Is there any individual or group beit religious or secular that can boast of a network of people and systems aided by the best cutting edge technologies in media, IT, networking, programming etc as this man and his organisation?

Frankly, I think the political leaders, governments and policy makers in Africa and Nigeria in particular if they are smart should rather consult people like Pastor Chris Oyakhilome for advice because in such moments it matters who is advising the government.
