@Op the Lord Jesus calls us to Himself as individuals. Then He says we should be a part of a fellowship of believers. We are to grow in fellowship but dwell in His Word- the bible. Whatever we hear or see must be checked against the word of God. We must be Bereans because it is very easy to be deceived by good dressing, high talk, fashion or the need to belong.
In the midst of a group it's possible to feel very alone because you know that the things you are observing are not giving honour to the Lord.
It's a pity that so much is wrong in our churches but remember the Lord knows His own. I'm glad you realised what was happening and left. Pray for others that they too will have their eyes opened to see the spirit at work where they fellowship.
We pray for God's purging of the Body of Christ so that all the things that mess her up will be destroyed and His people will enjoy true fellowship as He desires.

3. Pastor Chris is the orthodoxy
In CE, Pst Chris is the standard; he is the orthodoxy of the word of God. He is in fact treated like God. His words are law. He could cancel engagements, delay marriages and, in my mother’s language, can do and undo!
Everything revolves around him. He has limitless powers and not inhibited by anything.

And what do they say about absolute power corrupts absolutely?

Exactly what you have in the church. No one dares challenge him. In a godly environment, there should have been some enquiry in to the crisis of his marriage with the objective to mend the issues. But no one dares even raise such issues. People like Joe Agbaje are prepared to lie for him. I recall a time when the issue of PST Chris living separately from his wife came up here, Joe Agbaje defended him, claiming that the couple see often and even go on romantic get-away. It was not true. To all intents and purpose, the man abandoned his wife and family in London while gallivanting around the world with his concubines. This was wrong, but who could challenge the KING? The man had also warned members never to discuss pastors and that they should run away where such matters are being discussed. What you have is a situation where people are so afraid to even consider the allegations against him, so as not to be consumed by fire! SMH!!!

With such a context, the man can get away with anything, including polygamy. He can rewrite the bible, claiming that some portions or verses were not clearly written. He can do ANYTHING, and the staunch members and the pastors would defend him. I mean ANYTHING.

They deify him, call him the ‘Jesus in white suit,’ ‘the Jesus of our time’ and such heresies.
Two personal experiences really got me worried.

A. I was in church one day when a leader in a talk show said, “Pst Chris is not only in Ikeja or Lagos. His spirit is even here right now’’. I was shocked by the comments and obvious deification of a mere mortal. But when the pastor came up, he did not rebuke the speaker or said anything about it. I left for home, thinking hard: What has happened to these people?
B. Th other one was during prayer. The person leading the prayer asked us to pray so that the message of PST Chris will take over the world. Message of Pst Chris? I asked myself. I thought we came there because of the gospel/message of Christ? Does Pst Chris have a different message? Of course, I didn’t participate in that prayer but I was shocked that no one saw anything wrong in this, which validated my growing belief that the church was veering out of the Christian lane into something else.

I will stop here for now. But if challenged by the minions of the church, I have more arsenals. Good day and God bless you.


All these things are applicable to all modern day Pentecostal church.

It is not only Christ Embassy that people are not applying wisdom....
I feel shocked these days when I hear pastors pray in the name of the God of #######, and I am baffled.
I know of God if Elijah, God of Moses, God of Abraham etc, not the one that Nigerians have brought about again.
If you have recieved Christ into your Life as your Lord and Saviour. Then the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob is also your God.
He was and still is they God because they through Faith Worshipped, walked and worked for him
And he is not just the God of the past, he is the God of the present and eternity!

Op you remind me of a personal experience with christ embassy back in 2005. I was in church that fateful Sunday morning and after their show of callousness, the pastor's wife took the pulpit to announce the upcoming birthday of her husband with a note that 10 people are needed to contribute to get her husband a Mercedes c class. Now the c class was expected to cost 1.5 million and each person would pay 200k. Now wait for this, there weren't looking for volunteers, they handpicked people and they made the mistake of picking me. I got up as I was called to move over to meet with the group of selected "fools" and we were, while meeting, given a mandate to come up with the cash within two weeks. That was the last time I attended CE. When I heard they charged gate fees at a Christmas crusade, I wasn't surprised.

1st paragraph, that is how the church ensures ur spiritual well being. just as a church wont join AS to AS for the fear of reproducing an SS, the church wont join a non tither because they believe his doesnt have financial security in Christ.
ur second paragraph, tell me wat will happen if evans before he was arrested came to church with a brown envelope of 100000 and gave it to support the work of God only for u to find out a week later that a kidnapper gave ur church money, Tell me who should be blamed, or maybe i shud stand before the offering box and ask people how they got the money they wanted to give before u accept it

In both paragraphs you miss the point. You know you've missed the point but you don't care. In paragraph 2, the church as a symbol of christ must never condone the act of stealing. Can you then tell me the justification in not returning the stollen cash after having realised that it was the proceeds of a crime. You defend this fraud of a religious sect so blindly, it may just hurt you.

See me see gobe, so in order to have spiritual well-being, you must by all means reach a hight beyond you, hook or crook? Why not just spell it out to him that he must rob a bank to belong!

Only the head of the church himself alone is most perfect, but all other parts of the body ain't perfect.AND THAT'S WHY U WILL NEVER FIND ANY PERFECTLY RUNNED CHURCH SYSTEM OUT THERE ! it has not yet been established UNTIL CHRIST RETURNS IN HIS GLORY

Please I beg you in the name of God, shine your eyes before you fall into another trap of the end time pastors and their churches again, I believe it is very easy to identify God' own church which was the only and recognized church which Jesus established by himself through St. Peter, when he assured him that even the gate of hell shall not prevail over it. That is the reason why all Pentecostal will castigate and preach against it but still the church keep growing. may God help us. Shalom!!!

Who codones stealing in CE, do u have a proof?
Pst Chris will return d money only if it was a seed sown to his life. but if it was sown for the purpose of innercity and it has been used to feed the kids there, are they going to vomit the food? or shud someone else refund the money from his pocket? if it was given for healing school shud he call the person who was empowerd with d money to return it? or do u think CE is a bank that keeps money. even in law, money given ti charity is never earned irrespective of the source

I can relate to these points. If you havent been close to CE rank and file, you may likely perceive these as unguarded criticism.
But truly, these points are spot on CE

I was there for some time. Everything was Ps Chris or nothing! For like 3 years, the pastor in our branch preached the works of Ps Chris. No sermon was devoid of money, sow, seed, faith giving... I can attest that I was spiritually starved of sound doctrine for those years. Members were living lies-giving testimonies only to closely observe they are struggling like mad. Some were literally gasping to survive. Yet, na to hustle sow.
The last straw- zonal church sent us a bill, we must raise 5 million b4 the end of the month. The church was small, had like 4-6 families and most were struggling. The pastor came up and said all he knows is that we must raise that money aany how cos he cant disappoint his zonal head. The zonal head too had an objective to win award for biggest giver or so. I left and never looked back.
And don't get me started in the loose living.

I gave up when I realised that most members practically worship pastor Chris, everyone speaks in tongues, every working class youth is a minister. Including my friend who smokes like a chimney. Fornication and sexual immorality is downplayed as not being a serious sin. My friends vehemently defended the pastor's divorce, they blamed pastor anita, they also alienate themselves from other denominations. The church is like a cult and many of them don't even study the Bible for themselves. Singing a popular hymnal one day and my friend told me that pastor Chris said it was wrong to say that the work of Christ wasn't finished on earth already, my friend who is a minister shares her bed with another married "brother" they swear there's no sin. Lastly, a pastor there went to a strip club with my friends and ended up heading a stripper right on the table, in the presence of everyone....and no he wasn't drunk. My take on the matter is for us to keep praying for relatives who worship there because clearly most of them have lost their way. They've derailed from the true gospel of Christ.

I can attest that I was spiritually starved of sound doctrine for those years. Members were living lies-giving testimonies only to closely observe they are struggling like mad. Some were literally gasping to survive. Yet, na to hustle sow.
The last straw- zonal church sent us a bill, we must raise 5 million b4 the end of the month. The church was small, had like 4-6 families and most were struggling. The pastor came up and said all he knows is that we must raise that money aany how cos he cant disappoint his zonal head. The zonal head too had an objective to win award for biggest giver or so. I left and never looked back.
And don't get me started in the loose living.
My brother wat us said is absolutely true. But d part of spiritual hunger haba, how manage, even if ur pastor doesnt feed u, do u listen to pastor Chris message at all. I mean does pst Chris only preach only giving too? i have more dan 300 pst Chris messagez wit me now and only 4 centered on giving. the rest are raw spiritual food.

I have been a member there for over 12yrs, i dont actually like everything going on there, but i focus on the word of God from there that has seen me grow so much spiritually. Its not bad dat u left, if u find a church dat would satisfy u spiritually remain there.

meanwhile am still waiting for the MASTURBATION IS A SIN crew. have they all suddenly gone dumb?

Just imagine what you're supporting. Your previous post is kinda okay but this one is wrong. There is nothing like his ministry is different. If your ministry isn't Jesus,then you're on the wrong track.

His ministry is Jesus nah ... did I support something else, I was just captured by the way he presented the truth

I gave up when I realised that most members practically worship pastor Chris, everyone speaks in tongues, every working class youth is a minister. Including my friend who smokes like a chimney. Fornication and sexual immorality is downplayed as not being a serious sin. My friends vehemently defended the pastor's divorce, they blamed pastor anita, they also alienate themselves from other denominations. The church is like a cult and many of them don't even study the Bible for themselves. Singing a popular hymnal one day and my friend told me that pastor Chris said it was wrong to say that the work of Christ wasn't finished on earth already, my friend who is a minister shares her bed with another married "brother" they swear there's no sin. Lastly, a pastor there went to a strip club with my friends and ended up heading a stripper right on the table, in the presence of everyone....and no he wasn't drunk. My take on the matter is for us to keep praying for relatives who worship there because clearly most of them have lost their way. They've derailed from the true gospel of Christ.
POINTS OF CORRECTION
Nobody prays to Pst Chris or asks him to pray for them unlike my catholic brethren. Nobody prays in Pst Chris name,nobody sings and add the God of Pst Chris unlike my LFC, Chosen and salvation minstries brethren. So how exactly do we worship Pst Chris?

2. Pst Anita will only be counted a sinner if she remairries the same with Pst Chris, as long as i know in the bible, divorce is not a sin. I dont blame anyone but misunderstanding for their divorce.
3. we dont like the association with people who so much stabbed our church because they call us sinners. They were d same people who supported the removal of Atmospheres for miracles on television, the same people who criticize everything we do, the same people who complained wen Pst Chris ministered with TB Joshua

4.Rhapsody of realities has a two year and one year bible reading plan, the church spend a lot to distribute bibles to hotels, schools etc. In fact CE members can take u from any angle from the bible
I will stop here
