Human beings are not naturally known to always give without thinking of what they would get in return. So it is worthy of note when a man gives so much without asking for anything in return.
Rev. Chris Okotie may not have a stunning personality to some Nigerians, but he has endeared himself to many particularly those who got a helping hand when it mattered to them. He shows love to all and occasionally dishes out different gift items.
Recently, on his birthday when others would sit back to welcome and collect birthday gifts in multitude; he chose to dedicate the day giving to people household items, satisfying the material needs of people. In this edition, we bring you an icon that is always ready to share…
Enjoy..

No doubt, the ageless multi award winning pop Musician, Chris Okotie; now known as Rev. Chris Okotie is a very wealthy man; who loves seeing the faces of people light up whenever he gives.
He doesn’t need any introduction to Nigerians as his album ‘I need someone’ brought him to limelight in the 80′s. It would also be recalled that Pastor Chris left singing secular songs for gospel songs more than 30 years ago; after he repented.
Today, he writes gospel songs and he sings to worship God. It is also worthy of note that Rev. Chris is also a writer as he wrote the best selling book titled “The last outcast” which was a sell out. Pastor doesn’t have a choir in his church yet awesome songs are produced by him as the choir master and his church as his choir.
Rev. Chris was born on June 16, 1959. He is an Urhobo from Abraka in Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State. He is the founder and senior pastor of Household of God Church; a church located in Oregun, Ikeja, Lagos state since 1987. He is a law graduate from the University of Nigeria, Enugu campus.
PROPERTIES
The church auditorium, including the children’s department, the car parks and its extensive fallow land is worth billions of naira. He has other choice properties in the United State of America worth millions of dollars.
The church auditorium is a beautiful, large edifice, built to house more than 2000 people or more. Although, Household of God Church is not as crowded like people would have expected it to be, but they have the ability and movement of a batallion as Rev. Chris would always say that “God doesn’t work with the crowd, but with selected few who are ready to work in the his vineyard”.
INVESTMENTS
Rev. Chris Okotie believes strongly in investing in the lives of people; he is described by all who has made contact with him as an intense giver. He also believes that “God who has called him would take care of him”.
So he doesn’t believe in any investment except in the service of God and humanity. But even at that; he is arguably one of the richest pastors in Nigeria; as he collects very expensive wrist watches, wears expensive suits, ties, perfumes and shoes.
Rev.Chris spoke extensively on this very issue in one of his sermons. According to him ” working in line with God’s will and direction for my life has made me buy more expensive cars and wear more expensive clothes than most of my colleagues”.
CHARITY
Pastor Chris spends a lot of money on charity as he is enjoys giving. He jokingly told the church on one of such Sundays that he spends over two hundred and fifty thousand naira each Sunday buying gifts for people.
The Yuletide seasons are not left out as he spends millions through the church making Christmas season beautiful for the less privilege in the Society.
Pastor and the church has a yearly grace programme; on the programme they organise an award event known as Karis award for people who did amazing things in their field of specialty.
CARS
He is an unrepentant car freak; as his cars are estimated to be over N400m. He has cars such as BMW, to exotic models of Range Rover and Mercedes Benz. Recently, he added a Rolls Royce Phantom, 2014 edition to the fleet in his garagewhich cost him a whooping sum of N80m. That was to be a personal gift to celebrate his 27 years on the pulpit and 30 years as a born again Christian.

What would Jesus do?
When some men of God talk of how they spend so much on charity, I'm forced to think Charity is the name their family member or friend, coz no matter how they claim they help charity, I still see many of their church member wallowing in poverty.
On the last day, judgment will start from the house of God.

Vanity upon vanity.....bt mi lyk him still
Hmmm good for him,don't think he's worthy of a man of God though

Good for him...
If this man is a politician,I wonder the fleets of cars he would have.
This Rev Chris is a very profligate person. This is not in any way encouraging. 21st Century pastors shall. Only God can save us. I'm out. ***CATCH ME IF U CAN***
Thats nice, The lord is good always

All these long long essays, aint got nothing to say
Hmmmmm vanity upon vanity is vanity. 400m worth of cars! Who are you measuring with?
Some pastors really need to bornagin. Vanity upon vanity
This is the worst write up I have ever read . Is the writer praising him or recounting his loots. BTW men don't wear perfumes , they wear colognes, women wear perfumes. I believe this was written by a member of his church .
Haba like say I dey study 4 jamb tor I don read finish, wat ar they trying 2 say nw may God have mercy on us linda say Amen. Marydanladi180@gmail.com
Ok... nkemdirimeverista111@gmail.com
AT the end this writer had absolutely nothing to say , confused much? you mentioned charity , giving back ,spend money buying gifts etc, but did not mention ONE specific act of giving back but you had time to write about rolls Royce , bmw ,expensive suit etc, DId he write this godamn rubbish himself? is almost like he is informing his other "pastor colleagues/business men" from other such "churches" folks like him deceiving themselves that he has so much wealth. Many were called few were chosen , others were just hearing voices in their heads ....SMH!
So many things wrong with this article, I don't know where to start.
One line gives me hope though: "Although, Household of God Church is not as crowded like people would have expected it to be" Thank God for that!
Kimmy *****
Lol
The ministry is moving.
Hmmm, living extra large
God dnt wok wit crowd yet u built 2000 capacity edifice? Comon u dnt mind havin mo buh nt evrybdy would identify demselvs wit a controversial figure as Mr. Okotie#26247c63
Lol! A car to celebrate being born again. Smh. It's a good thing God is very merciful.
At d end of the day, he cannot pregnant a woman and he marries and divorce women like he's changing his cars! I wonder if he's gonna carry all these wealth to heaven...abi hell!! Ijs
Tell dem oO. Vanity upon Vanity, were is the moni coming frm.. Chei there is God oO. Men of God pls visit hospitals,help the less previllege, go to villages help d poor. Adopt the motherless babies give dem a home. Disable assist dem. Cars n Jets are vanity.
Like our own low Profile Artıst #excetera# Let Final Trumpet Sound ön Sunday so we all know the Fake pastors.. Well ı will be in heaven observıng then lol. IT İŞ WELL
Okk
It is not detailed enough.
Everything they have mentioned is not up to one jet worth 30 something million dollars that a certain bishop has four of. So I would say Pastor Chris Okotie is even quite a modest kingdom businessman. ...
Wat a sarcasm....
He deserves his blessings....every child of God deserves d best. The cattle upon a thousand hills and the gold and silvers are mine says d Lord. God has made us heirs cos we are his children. He has laboured so much in Gods vine yard and of God decides to bless him why make it a big deal. All this artistes that act and sing nonsense get millions for poupulating d kingdom of darkness and filling the world with immorality so he pastor shld be poor for serving God. Whatever u have becomes sin only when it becomes an idle to u. #leave pastor okotie alone and face ur work
LIBer ladies I salute u guys. I asked libers to plead to ma bf whom I offended only for some kukere girls to add him up on fbk, change their profile pics to a nude one and some commented on his post like ' hey! Wat's up with you? Just for him to notice and get attracted to them and ask for BB pins as I surely knw that he will do. He now has over 4,800 friends and many female followers ever since my post. Am SMH for them all because Mudinah just want to chop n send them back to their holes. Am not cheap bt am doing this to let him knw how sorry I am. Ladies beware, I still luv my man. Thanks.......Tumi

This is the most vain of pastors in Nigeria! Misleading Christian faithful in the name of 'god', instead a ruse he uses to gather wealth for himself.
check out the exotic cars!!! I think EFCC need to look into this!!
What would Jesus do ? Yet your pastor Chris Okotie wants to be our president. At the rate which he spends money..... Expensive watches, shoes, suits, and cars. Ogbeni, pastor GOD is watching you o
poorly written article with no clear direction, obviously from a very dumb follower. does more harm than good.

Nonsense. Vanity. I seriously doubt if this man that calls himself Pastor is going to make heaven.
Givers don come out to show derselvs.....his nt a giver, his showing himsf so ppl will hail him! true givers don't talk or sy dr good deeds out!
He doesn't believe in investment ? Where does the money come from ? His Church isn't over crowded with battalions ....... I need vleraity pls

Vanity upon vanity
Jesus rode on a donkey, and you are driving Bentleys and other expensive cars smh!!! The end of the world, as we know it!!! God is the only one, that knows his children, and not everybody that says Lord, Lord would inherit the kingdom of God!!! Whizman

Didn't they say he slept with Bode George's wife ? Why did the writer not mention his promiscuity ? Where did he get all that money from ? How many church members are on his scholarship ?
Is this not the same Pastor that refused to pay his ex pianist? Or is this another Chris Okotie?
The pianist also claims Okotie is very generous to a fault. But you must be a very pretty lady to enjoy his generosity.
Linda, you are assuming that the person she is writing could not have authorized this piece thinking that it would give him favor with people? Many Nigerians are suffering from a significant distancing from reality. Many have no clue what reality looks like and believe that when they flaunt ill gotten wealth, we will worship them.
Fakeeee!!! Jesus' outstanding character is humility, he didnt build auditoriums yet he fed 5k ppl... The way this fake pastors criticize politicians one wil think they are saints. Most naija pastors are fake and should pay TAX.
All these properties from being a pastor....shows that Nigerians are gullible.
What is his profession?.. I mean what does he do to earn money?
Atleast he does mot have a jet. Which i believe is utterly unreasonable. Plus most of his congregation are very okay, they make concious e4t to help. Unlike some churches where the pastors have jets yet most of the congregation are suffering. Pls 80% of nign pastors are guilty of this, bcos they decide to not show it thru their dressing n oda ways doesnt mean they are not. So many religious private schools yet most kids of their followers cant attend its ironic and conflicts with what christian schools did in the past where they made schooling over subsidised
In a country, where there's abject poverty
Some People & men of God garage worth 400M
God is watching us in 3D
Who is fooling who???
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
Catholic all d way? U guyz worship a human being(mary)
You might be right but it's not in your place to judge and label him the "most vain". He might actually be but don't judge him. If he does something evil, by all means expose him so others can take heed but after that, keep your lips sealed.
Hi mr Okotie, am sure you will need an efficient means to manage your fleet of cars. sign up to www.fuelvoucher.com.ng to purchase fuel without having to go to the station with cash, card or paper. It also provides you with easy reconciliation and budgetting.
You can very well bet your bottom dollar that Chris Okotie saw this write up and sanctioned it to be published.The man is so vain he is not satisfied with buying these things,but he wants the whole world to know he has them as well..And some people will always plead for this men.Already i see someone here pleading for Okotie,saying musicians sings rubbish but make millions so why shouldn't Okotie?I will tell u one why not..because Okotie is a fake so called man of God and those musicians are not..they sing about Shepe and girls and they practice it openly..but mr Okotie says one thing and does another.You think the man is a pastor?looool,he is an astute business man..and the church is his company!
Cheap bitch! See how you're cheapening urself just for a man. I'm a guy, but I think you're fucking up big time. Don't u have value for ur sorry self?
Nawah Ooooo just imaging the spree on property what's are the pastor in nigeria are turning to couldn't they cultivate the example from the muslim clergy I mean imam.
Pastors nd wealth yet poor pple full da church
~@iamJbankz Olamide's PA~
chris okotie has no properties in America or any where abroad; the man is a fraud, the properties mentioned hr bought msny years ago fir church and it was the church members who put moni together to buy them, people should go on household of God street and see all the uncompleted building properties he has been building for over 11years and still can't complete them when church members give moni for these projects, he uses them to buy cars for himself and his women.
I don't attend Chris Okotie's church and I do not support cheats, thieves and arrogant people.Now can I ask ya'll running ur stinking mouth what's wrong in having or living a good life even as a Pastor bcos the last time I checked God never left his children broke so, if u are a christian n still living broke there must be a reason. Maybe u are jobless, no skills, disobedient or just a lazy ass. Y'all should leave these Pastors for God to judge their actions or better still open ur church if u think is easy to run one... Busy bodies dem!
As far as i am concerned, this is a very poor image laundrying attempt while at the same time trying to rub in a tiny little bit of insult on our sensibilities and intelligence. The writer is so eager to let us know how the Pastor spends millins in charity and how much exotic cars the pastor has in his garage however he or she failed to tell us where all the money to finance this charities and expensive lifestyles comes from. Surely not from the congregation whom the writer acknoledges are not so much as would have been. Is the wealth from the landed property which as far as i know is not a liquid asset but a fixed apprciating one. What i had expected was for the writer, after reiterating Pastor Chris' Charitable acts and deeds, was to have given us an insight into his various investments in blue chip companies, Mega Banks, phamaceuticals, insurance, oil and gas etc. That way we all know that his wealth is self generated. I don't believe all this lifestyled is financed from the offerings and tithes of the congregation! - NKO
Judgment will start from the house of God...
In analysing the writers view...I'd say there is an undertone.
Bonario, nice opinion.
These pastors dont teach the member community how to make the type of wealth they have amassed.
Its like a rule in the 48laws of power, teaching 99 tricks and leaving out the 1 special trick that makes it all even.
They want you coming back for more, thereby gambling with your faith and your funds. ('Fee & Faith' bible church).
A bunch of folly followers make it so!

This same man came out long ago on national TV with lies against Pst Chris Oyakhilome. I heard him clearly when he said no congregation in Nigeria has enough money to buy a N10m car for their Pastor and now he has a fleet of cars worth over 400m! These Pastors will burn in Hell.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has become a god and places no value to the sanctity of marriage. Its divorce your wife or husband and gain prominence in church! His wife has gone awol and he doesn't care a hoot! business as usual and money is coming in.
Not reasonable to learn from muslims! Period!
nice fleet. so who will inherit all this. AY?
Imagine a Muslim cleric being analyze like this,hatred will flow,the religion and faithful will be insulted like there's no tomorrow.libers let's be wise,no tribe or religion is of saints alone.
All Is Well. (Linda's Man)

Keep on mocking him. His lot will soon be yours...you'll tell me whether ur God. Idiot
There is a law of life we cannot deny and that is the law of giving - The more you give the more you get. We also know quotes like "Blessed are the hands that give than the hands that take" Jesus also said it is better to give than to receive"... also "give and it shall be given unto you, good measures pressed down together and running over" You cannot change the natural laws that Govern our existence. Hate a Man's blessings but you cannot change God's natural laws. Pls Go and Sow well instead of negative comments on this...and if your Harvest is Bountiful, give it all out and don't sow again because you don't need all the excess.
Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Eighteen! In order merely to keep food on the table for this mob, the father and head of the household, a goldsmith by profession, worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade and any other paying chore he could find in the neighborhood. Despite their seemingly hopeless condition, two of Albrecht Durer the Elder’s children had a dream...Read THE STORY BEHIND ‘THE PRAYING HANDS
I agree. The write up is all over the place. Very pointless.
rev Chris okotie has not gotten all these because he gives, there is not one human being you csn mention whose life had been changed by Chris okotie permanently, I dare you to mention one person , from the volunteers to the workers in Church, from Harrison to oma, from the cleaners to every one who ever worked wt him or still works wt him, not one persons lifr has been charged. not to talk of all the women he has used and dumped like vien to shola salako or thr wives he married Tina and Stephanie.rxcept you gain yout success outside him like leather world's bimbo arawole and roli bode George and Stephanie who I hear just bought a house in ikoyi. the women wt him now should be wise and not just enjoy the moment but save for the future. I have been in hiusehold for over twenty years and vi know all these but I enjoy the show and music but get my spiritual blessing from a true man of God. okoties life is not an example in any way.
