SCANDAL: WILL CHRIST EMBASSY BE DIVIDED ?? FULL GIST

The leadership of Christ Embassy is shaking as the divorce scandal still persists..Oyakhilome who is the President of the Believers’ Loveworld Incorporated, the registered name of the Christian ministry, while his wife is the Vice President.Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and wife, Anita are no doubt one of the most famous couple-pastors in Nigeria.

An online newspaper, The Cable, had reported on Friday that the divorce case, with Suit No FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014 at the Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, the United Kingdom, on Anita’s behalf by Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors.

Anita reportedly filed for dissolution of the marriage between her and her pastor husband, which produced two teenage daughters – Sharon and Charlyn – on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour” and “adultery.

On Saturday, one of the church members, 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 their 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 mute on the divorce case.

When another call was made to the church through another number, the respondent, who identified herself as Pastor Christabel, said the church had no information about the case.

Meanwhile it is learnt that every information about Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s wife, Rev.Anita has been removed from the church website including the picture of Pastor Chris and his wife, Anita which was on the homepage of the website.

What’s your opinion on the Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and wife, Rev Anita’s messy divorce?

Should the wife have walked away quietly ?
