“I Already Started Christ Embassy Before I Married Her” Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Divorces His Wife Anita.
Arguably, one of the most famous couple-pastors in Nigeria is Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and his wife, Rev. Anita Oyakhilome
of Love World Assembly, aka Christ Embassy Church.However, with the
latest information emanating from the United kingdom, where the
Oyakhilome’s resides, the couple may have divorced or separated secretly
from their marriage.
Mrs Anita Oyakhilome who heads their UK headquarters branch has not been seen in the church she pastors for months now and it has left a lot of people wondering what could have gone wrong. According to some of the church officials who had a meeting with pastor Chris when he flew to London said, even though the pastor wasn’t pleased with what was going on in the house of God (UK headquarters) that he feels his wife thinks she is more superior than a lot of leaders in the church which isn’t supposed to be so, and has started displaying it in her ways.
Summary of pastor Chris Oyakhilome's Speech on 16/05/2014 in
a meeting with all UK Pastors and Deacons at Christ Embassy, Bermondsey.
I am here for your concerns about the ongoing domestic issue
with my wife and I know it affects you directly, being the ones under her
leadership.
This is not an organisation or a political party, so it's
not a place for you to air your opinion or scrutinise what we do. We had a
vision, started and you joined us. If you don't like what we do, you can get
out.
Some pastors wives think when they marry a pastor they are
equal to the pastor. My wife thinks so, as a matter of fact, Rev. Tom was her
pastor before I married her and Rev. Ray and Evang. Owase were her leaders long
before I married her. How come she thinks she's senior to them now?
I already started Christ Embassy before I married her. I
didn't marry her and said we should start Christ Embassy. I was already
pastoring. I already set my sail and knew my direction before I married her. I
only said come and help me.
Be careful of the friends you keep. My wife keeps friends
who bring out the worst in her and help her see the worst in people instead of
keeping friends that will help her vision especially as the wife of a global
pastor like me.
Bitterness is prolonged and accumulated anger. My wife is
always angry and bitter.
Allegations are either false or twisted information. The
current situation is not as a result of what I did or what I didn't do. I
didn't do anything to have caused an upheaval.
You don't join a woman to fight her husband.
I'm not teaching you what is wrong, at least I have 2 girls
who will one day marry and I want to them to enjoy it.
And now some of Mrs Anita’s supporters have also opened a Facebook page asking people to pray for her as others also pleads with the couple that God forbids divorce and they should please come back together for the sake of their daughters.
It is so sad to read all these when it is so clear that the devil hates the family and the expansion of God's Kingdom. We should never be deceived by what the world calls success. Greatness in God's kingdom is rated differently.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 5:19 says, Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus sent us to teach the nations and it is far beyond winning souls. It is lifestyle coaching. If the Church is not an example in family relationships, what will we teach?
A man is to love his wife as his body, and this implies that they are the same flesh, not head and middle or head and tail. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and Pastor Anita are one. This is a challenge to Christians at Christ Embassy and to the Body of Christ. Do the right thing and pray for this marriage. It doesn't sound good to the ears.
Also, the idea of a pastor who is well to do living apart for many years from his wife is unscriptural. It used to happen when the church was poor and pastors could not relocate with their wives to their new parishes immediately. Now there is money, let the pastor(Mr) and pastor (Mrs) stay together and preach the gospel.
Body of Christ, arise and read your Bible and be led by the Spirit of God. This is the end times Do not be misled to live in sin or expose yourself to errors.
May God heal every hurting marriage in the Body Of Christ as we sacrificially obey God's will in marriage in Jesus name, Amen.
- Concerned lover of marriage
I pray that love will prevail. I believe the pastor will have to find ways to reconcile with his wife. many breakups in marriage come through long separation from wives. when you go round the world without your wife, there is technical divorce. Let pastor chris allow his wife to travel with him.
