Only God knows who is truly serving Him in the open and in secret, but what Hot Gossip can tell you is that the divorce mess involving Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and his wife Anita, is serious.
As events begin to get clear to members of Christ Embassy, they are
being divided over the divorce suit that was filed against the Founder
and Senior Pastor of the Church by wife in a London court.
Some members of the church on a Facebook page, ‘Where is Rev. Anita Oyakhilome,’ believed to have been opened by Anita’s sympathizers, expressed differing opinions on the messy situation.
Below is what Christ Embassy members are saying about the saga...
On Saturday, one of the church member, Ijeoma Olive
Ehirim said, “I am a Christ Embassy member. I hate one thing there: How
can a pastor be working together with a lady hand in hand, attending
meetings and lodging in a hotel for days. My girlfriend travels with our branch pastor annually for PPCF which holds in Lagos. Only God knows.”
Sharing a similar view, Samantha Iwowo, described adultery as one of the grounds for divorce.
Iwowo said, “Pastor Chris Oyakhilome must have been discovered compromising his marital bed business. It is what it is. God says judgement will start from His house. ‘Touch not my anointed’ is God’s instruction regarding all His children, not an individual nicking, scheming, threatening monies off people’s purses and telling them that salvation is tied to tithes and that seed sowing is only money donation to the church/pastor’s coffers. One down, more to roll. Christ be praised.”
In her post, Chinyere Okechukwu-George, claimed to have left the church when she observed some irregularities.
“I and my family left Christ Embassy for our own good after worshiping there for three years plus and seeing all the things going on under the disguise of church. And I can comfortably say that for over a year now, we have had so much peace in our Christian lives. I don’t care how you view my comment but truth must be told.”
Joseph Osagiede, however, responded saying the Oyakhilomes were still together.
He said, “I have been in Christ Embassy for 12 years. All is totally well with thier marriage. All those wishing them to split and also those going about saying nasty things about the church, be careful.”
Faith Ebunoluwa Adetayo also said, “I have been in Christ Embassy since 1990s and I can authoritatively say some things: I have seen the power of God work, demonstrated in healings and many other things. I have seen how that Pastor Chris is less concerned about mistakes we make.
“He believes that these sins of the flesh will disappear, only if we listen to the word of God. Rather than condemning us, he speaks words of encouragement. And for your information, Pastor Anita is still very much in the ministry and she’s with her darling husband.”
Meanwhile, the Christ Embassy has kept mum on the divorce case.
When Punch called, a woman, who picked the call to the Nigerian office of the church on Saturday, said she had no information to give on the matter.
When asked to confirm if the divorce suit was true or not, she simply said, “I have no information to give on the matter.”
When another call was made to the church thorough another number, the respondent, who identified herself as Pastor Christabel, said the church had no information about the case.
“No, we have no information on the matter,” she said.
Hot Gossip gathered that many members of the church are still in shock about the development.Sharing a similar view, Samantha Iwowo, described adultery as one of the grounds for divorce.
