In Africa, and mayb Nigeria most especially we have a culture of criticizing religious leaders for very trivial issues. Then for issues of high gravity, we almost crucify them without taking a second thought and putting ourselves in the self-same situation.

I chose to revisit the "marriage" case of Pastor Chris and his wife Pastor Anita. Pastor Anita had levied serious accusations against her husband before the whole world of which there was no specific mention of PROMISCUITY. Of a truth if her claims were true, they're "condemnable". But how could you conclude on an issue btw two people without hearing from both. Sometimes the best way to find out where the problem is in such situation is by noting the actions/reactions of each person involved. Here are some salient but latent observations from the story of the crashed union:

1. Pastor Anita came out and accused her husband openly before the whole world. The accused never showed any remorse (meaning he has a firm stand on his opinions as regarding the issue btw them), yet he never accused his accuser of any wrong doing. There is only one reason this can happen: when you are conscious of who you are and not letting your integrity fall by your own hands.

2. Pastor Anita filed for divorce. I believe she knows what the bible says about divorce. She DIVORCED him, Not him divorcing her. From what I realized, when your partner files a lawsuit to divorce you, there is nothing you can do to stop it whether you like it or not. Then what if your partner is hell-bent to tarnish your image with a divorce...what would you do to protect your marriage?(Question4u)

3. News had it that Pastor Anita recently remarried another man and changed her name. If this is true, then "who is now committing adultery?"...."The accused: whose own we didn't see? Or the Accuser: whose own we can now see?" John 16:18 says "Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery." (KJV)

4. Pastor Chris still wears his wedding ring till date. The pictures I will post after this shows that. Isn't this an indication that this man never has the intention to divorce his wife, and despite that his wife divorced him he does not consent to it. In a funny way, I think he demonstrates this faith that someday she will repent and come back to where she belongs....and I wouldn't doubt it if someone tells me that he is praying for her in his closet.

So from these deductions, I cannot find any wrong in the man in this issue. Everything levied against him are just "accusations", we were not there to witness any of it. But the things we can now see has given great insight into the matter. Mind you, I am not a Christ Embassy Member. No Christ Embassy Member will ever engage a discussion of their Pastors' family lives.
I urge every christian to learn to be constructive in our criticisms...especially when it concerns anointed men of God. If you ain't sure of what you want to say, better do not say it all. The truth is, many of us are suffering because of "unguarded speeches" we made against anointed men of God around us, most especially our immediate pastors.

The Pictures of Pastor Chris with his wedding ring on.

both m not bias

I didn't know pastor Chris was on nairaland.

Bad try, pastor.

O kare op .. Agbejero fun paito Kris

He always wears his wedding ring in every service... He's not in support of divorce, he even said `divorce is wrong in the sight of God, buh what do you do when you're dragged to it?'


And I don't blame the wife either, she's not been living with him for like Ten years. She just wants to be closer to him.

If you ask us na who we go ask

How is someone's sexual enjoyment and pleasure our own business

On one hand u say we shd engage in constructive criticism and den on the other u have sentenced the Woman from ur very very very limited knowledge of all that transpired which NONE outside Pst Chris and Anita know about!

Pls let us stop this "anointed men of God" thing. Were u there when they were anointed or they told you they were anointed? Check the true examples of anointed men of God in the Bible and you will understand the true meaning of anointing.

At a second look, which man of God will leave away from his wife for close to 10 years and you expect everything to be good. Did you not read in the bible that "such a man should preside well over his household?". How does he do that when he is away from his family? Guy, the young man caused all the issues happening to him and please don't help him to pass the blame.

Like someone already commented "you know little about what happened so do not judge".

Rvbbish post! PRO yo job for Pastor Chris

Attention seeker....Weldon..we have seen you.... stupid motherfucker......
