According to
The Cable, the dissolution of the
marriage between Christ Embassy Church founder, Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome, and his wife, Rev. Anita Odegwa Oyakhilome, has entered the
final phase.
The wife is seeking divorce on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour”
and “adultery”.
She outlined several allegations against the pastor which cannot publish for legal reasons.
The divorce case, with Suit No FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014 at
Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High
Holborn, London, UK, on Anita’s behalf by Attwaters Jameson Hill
Solicitors, a full-service law firm with expertise in commercial law and
a strong consumer focus in family, wills and estate, personal injury
law and medical negligence.
Efforts to reconcile the popular couple, whose church is one of the
biggest denominations in Nigeria and has branches all over world, have
failed.
They have two teenage daughters, Sharon and Charlyn." Continue...
Oyakhilome is the president of Believers’ Love World Inc, the registered
name of the Christian ministry, while his wife is the vice-president.
The pastor, according to an elder of the church, has denied allegations
of adultery and believes his wife is being influenced by “bad friends”
who are intent on destroying their home.
While Anita believes she has been relegated in the scheme of things in
the church, her husband has reportedly accused her of trying to usurp
power and authority above her seniors in the ministry.
Sources told TheCable that the pastor had been making efforts to avoid
divorce in the hope that the wife would eventually have a change of
mind.
However, the decree nissi was served on
the charismatic pastor in his hotel room during a recent visit to the
UK.
Decree nissi, in legal terms, is like a yellow card in a football match
which is a precursor to a red card (“decree absolute”) if no new
evidence is provided to stall proceedings.
Church insiders said Oyakhilome had been hoping for rapprochement, but
he was left with no option than to receive the papers when the lawyers
cornered him at his hotel in London.
The decree absolute, which will effectively end the marriage, is
expected to be issued soon while terms of the divorce will be worked out
by the lawyers on both sides.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 350 of 350This is disheartening. This iconic couple who have a multitude of people looking up to them for wise counsel can not give same to themselves? The citing of adultery particularly arouses my ire on many levels. Viki
People can say wateva dem like to man of God but becareful Linda. If u like no post my comment.
Na wow o...devil is working from all angles
.......SUNNY X.....
Its a lie......so dis is true, Jezzzz I still can't believe it!!
Kaiiii......Only God knows dose who are truly his, I'm no longer moved by wat I see.
The devil is a liar. Dear Lord please bind them in your love and unity and let the enemy of the church(devil) be disgraced to the glory of Your name. Amen! #ShaddyRaheem
Why people don't mind their way.all dis things nah lies.
Bro Machi Pius Igwe posted the comment below concerning this story on Sahara Reporters Facebook page. I felt I should share it here:
'We as Christians should endeavour to pray for Ministers, pastors, bishops, religious leaders and our political leaders. They are humans and do make mistakes too. Imagine Abraham made mistakes, so did Isaac, Jacob, and Moses. If those who has the grace to hear directly from God and touched angels made mistakes what of us in this generation? Read 1 Timothy 2:1-3'
...even Our Lord Jesus was criticize. If this is false then, woe to he or she who finds pleasure in tarnishing people's image, especially men of God.
Why London? What happin? Doesn't fairness demand that they split the booty in Nigeria where it was amassed in the first place? Now white lawyers are raking in all the juice while their equals in Lagos swallow in envy. Oh, well, who are we to complain, doesn't Jesus approve of all the absurdity that goes on in his name after all?
it is well. ...
So sad to hear this,hope they can work things out,divorce should be the last thing to do.Miss Indomie says so.
what example is he setting for the people he preaches to.
Rev. Anita should take it easy on Pastor Chris o. She Should not allow the devil to use her to destroy a great Man. Adultery with who? She should name the person. She shouldn't be the one to break the hedge and allow the devil entry. I guess if you keep an oyinboish woman in oyinbo Country, her brain will become very oyinbo.
He is mortal ,so anything is bound to happen..that's if this is true
agukwesandra@yahoo.com
Oya wey the voltrons of Dear Pastor Chris. Oy make una come defend this one now.
Na wa ooO adultery ke...
No wonder he preaches crappie about what the bible says about marriage and what God meant about submission of wives to their husbands. Can't even imagine sitting in his church and hearing him preach out of his gutter mouth. Kmt. Lead by example pastor!
Why wunt he commit adultery when his members wears pant to church.God wants ur heart not what u wear?who told u,dnt u know that humans easily get enticed with immoral wears thereby leading them to sin,una sabi bible pass jesus
Ahhhhhhhh there's trouble.

Adultery????? That's serious

How dumb, do u know how many Catholic priest that have girl friends?? The point is anyone can.fall for temptation regardless of culture, religion or orientation
U guys should stop spreading rumors...he is my pastor o!
Yes...they avoid women and shag d alter boys instead!! Noncatholic for lif
Why Don't u like pasting my comment!
Na wa for these so called men of God oh. If his wife cannot stand him there must be something really wrong somewhere.
By their fruits you shall know them.,, gbam! Who has ears let him hear
My comment was those hot pastors that r crushing n seducing him can have him now. Esp the 1s that have vowed to stay single until he marries them.
Gbagun...e don happen. ..bt lets pray for the couples and ask for God's mercies upon pst chrisnd his wife...even if chris has been playing away match....divorce is nt an option...9ja sha!
Humans!!!!!Why not pray for peace rather than condenming....afterall he's a man of God,leave judgement for God bloggers......Remember judgement will start from his servant
Iffy, please, go back to school. It is spelt "intervene" not "inter vain." Aunty Linda, do something about the gbagauns on your blog.
God knw d best bt d way dey dress is nt a normal waer all dier bdy is opened if its true d man of God shld change ooo
wow. there was a documentary of married women confessing that he would pray for them and sleep with them too. in order to give them children or use them for rituals. wow.
Did not know this was true
The truth is that all these pastors wives want their own share of the properties and when this is not possible they file for divorce.

Intervene
God hav mercy! An forgive
God knows Best
MY DESIRED OPINION!!!
God pls help your church
May God forgive u.
Shut UP! Anofia
Pls don't be quick to judge if u can't cast d first stone.
Hmm..... Judge not. Know ye that only God is perfect. Pastor Chris is not no matter what happens.
Pastor Chris and Rev. Anita are not devorcing they are only renewing some components of love and re-balancing the system. Everything in the world evoles or goes through rebirth phase for a stronger union. Marriage comes twice in a life time, at early age and advance with same partner. Pastor Chris and Rev. Anita are trying to fix the process. I love you both and look forward to seeing your beautiful pictures in the next edition of Rhapsody of Reality. Best wishes!
From ur comment, it's obvious u r not a Christian cos u cannot even keep d only commandment - love. If u love and hear such, u shld be empathetic and pray for d person not to condemn. Remember what Jesus calls them - hypocrites. Either u r or u belong to d clan of BH
Na u sabi d bible pass. Pray for him not condemn. That is not love. Exhibit d character of God's spirit at all times and see people d way God sees them. Remember he is God's creator & prophet.
Don't let careless statement ruin ur life. Be careful.
Dont blame the wife abeg she must have real good evidence before going to dis extent...even if she doesnt have evidence then the pastor mite have lost his way for him to find it difficult to rule his home.the first calling a man has is his home, if he cant be sucessful there,he has no business running a church....
No one is a saint. Pls don't talk out too much about catholic priests. When I was in university, one of my catholic friend was dating a catholic priest. At a point, she brought another catholic priest and was begging me to date him which I vehemently refused. How about that, let's talk about it. I grew up in Anglican family and from what I've learnt, no one is perfect. So don't be quick to judge or defend anyone.
Like we know u from ur comment.
R u one of them?
Am not surprised. They wear rubbish to church and seduce the whole area where their church is situated. Adultery will not be strange in that church. Anita be very quick with the divorce. It's in the bible. It is not only men that divorce on grounds of adultery, women should also.
#Only God can judge #
nigeriansss...now is d opportunity for u to say all sort of things to a man of god coz u just dnt like him. if u sit down for awhile and search ur heart well,you wish such shuld happen and you happy to criticise him coz he is not a human.if it were some oda pastors you wuld av felt sorry nd prayed dat dey reconcile.god is d only judge
And whats your point.. Cos u aint amkin sense
Jesus did not write the bible. Sit down pls.
Don't be naive. I'm catholic but I'm not oblivious to the pranks of some priests. A rev father in my husband village has kids with different women, it is well known but they rather keep quiet and claim "touch not my anointed". Wake up you hear? Catholic for life does not mean you should be ignorant.
So what is the option? Pretense abi? Fake people.
We shouldn't be quick to jump into conclusion and even though its true, God can still heal their marriage like he did benny hinn's marriage. God heal them IJN
Its funny how ppl are quick to judge these men instead of pray n encourage them
Well it is true. Wake up before you become one of his #service girls".
Linda y did u delete all my replies? What is ur motive?
lindodo if i see pastor Anita picture for next month raphsody i will insult you very much that you will never forget in your life. Gossip girl.
beware of fake prophet wunmi say so
If the allegations are true, it was his actions that ruined him, not his wife.
No matter what, you don't jest people manifestly known as men
of God.
Adultery and fornication is the order of the day in christ Embassy.even parish pastors sleep with der members
Its well. Lets pray for our man of God and his wife.Nothing is impossible with God.
It's well with you two dear just be prayerful God will surely grant your heart desires I like your zeal
If this is true,then i blame them for living in different countries.They both gave room to the devil.Popular and highly placed men of God whose wives follow them about are not crazy but wise.This is to avoid adultery.Most times,they travel around the world together,i must say that this is commendable.
We are all flesh including pastors,anyone can fall at anytime,it only takes the grace of God.And i don't understand why the wife wont humble herself under her husband's ministry.
A lot of people,especially their members are looking up them .This is not good enough!
I pray they resolve this quickly cos i trust some so-called sisters in Pastors Chris' church may start nursing the ambition of becoming the next pastor's wife.I don't trust women!!!
Simon Jay Jay, you better wake up from your slumber
You are an idiot!! How can you blame the woman? Is she the woman shamelessly breaking his vows before God and being vindictive towards the flesh of his flesh
I'm sure u r one of those blind followers

Nigerians are so stupid, ignorant and naive, how can you believe a man that does not practice, what he preaches!!! In Nigeria instead of worshiping God, most of you worship your so called pastors, reverends, bishops, etc... Men like TB Joshua, Oyedipo, Tunde Bakare, Tunde Joda, Kumoye, Matthew Ashimolowo, etc all of them are not ordained by God, neither are they anointed, they are all going to burn in hell, and you would be joining all these anti-Christ in hell, all burning up there!!! You would be putting all these goats an a pedestal, as if they are demi-gods, and they are nothing, they are all thieves, crooks and agents of satan!!! Seek God now there is still time: before you perish in hell!!! Go and read your Bible and stop worshiping and bowing down to these demi-gods kmt!!! Linda post my comment!!! Whizman

I don't agree with this news linda, u too dey lie....
Pastor chris and his wife are happily married ad enjoying the work of God's call here on earth. How about you look out to promote good rather than support evil and condemnation.
#akusonhenry
Why? Because he is a pastor???
looool what? You are kidding right?
Hey woman, 'forked tongue' is my trademark lol. But you're okay to use it
Why won't it be true? And by the way, are you a shoe mender?
Abi via curve 2
You be fool. Divorce is a sin, unless on grounds of adultery. So upon confirmation of adultery from either the husband or the wife, the other party can go for divorce.
I just went through the comments, and I wasn't surprised at what I saw - Denial. People were not only scared to voice their opinions, they flat out refuted the story. NOBODY is above mistakes. This is not jesus christ, This is a mere man who 'believed' he was ordained. Any body can be(or claim to be) a religious leader, only that some have more guts(as well as charisma) than most to actually put it to practise. Now what stories like these should teach us is that we need to wake up. Too many of you worship your pastors and emulate them, finding no fault. Just because they stand on a podium every sunday, preaching to you what you ought to have gone out of your way to learn, doesn't make them Jesus. These are flawed men. Accept that.
P.S: Now I am not claiming this story is true, neither am I claiming it is a lie. However, lol, you think if Chris actually committed adultery he will let the public know?? Please don't be so gullible. Use the brain you were gifted with.
Total Nigerian mentality. Is he Jesus who never committed a sin on earth? How many guys hv you kissed or probably slept with before? Abeg mind your own race.
Why won't it be true? Abi him get another motive for curling his hair?
Touch not my annointed and do my prophets no harm; becareful what comes out of your month before you bring a cause on your self. If you are familiar with your bible, you will understand how the devil have used women to bring down great and strong men of God, but this case is so unfortunate for the devil cos we already know how to handle his tricks, except for few people slandering with their tongues.
You know say you be olodo. As in certified fool. So na for Linda 's comment session you wan use look for job? Vision less Ewu.
I c som ppl stil sayin Lord dnt let it happn Cuz de stil want to refer to him as 'daddy'. Brainwashd Oloshi!!#26247c63

Lol, you get sense at all? I can see you no even wet in sense mean. E be like say na you d curl him hair before every service.

Men of God are human beings like you, they fall! They can open legs like you... besides he was alone most of the time
Lol... God dey!
What r u thinking?
SO CHRIST EMBASSY CHURCH LIED!.....in June they said they were still together! Shameful....pls leave Devil out of this! # the evil men do behind close doors:ADULTERY....it is only a good woman that can expose her husband's deceit and move on with her life...#?God bless you pastor Anita....Your labour of love is not in vain....
Hello linda, whr v I wronged u? U v never posted my comment b4 nt even 1s y now? Abeg do smtin oooooooo
Linda, weytin I buy 4rm u wey I no pay? U no dey post my comment @ll too bad
The devil has failed and will always fail. Pastor has prayed for us, is time to pray for him and i know God will see them through this...
And Sinach just got married, she would have been a very good candidate to replace pastor anita if the divorce finalizes. Simply because she started with the church....
So say those who are brainwashed and in denial. Use your brain dear.
Biko shut up there. Why must she try to work it out? What if she is done with the cheating and suffering in silence?
Mtchweee
First it was one of his ministry's senior pastor nw its the G.O
Nooooo, dis is saaaad. One of my best couples, the gods must be crazy. Pepperextedpepple@yahoo.com
And you know this because you know the man better than his wife abi? Religious fanatics that have left God and decides to worship the man of God... just to point one thing out that you might have forgotten, he is a man and the bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God... the fact that he is a man predisposes him to sin so my dear, don't swear for anyone, just pray for him!
Really, am guessing you're the only human on earth that haven't heard of"reverend fathers" molesting young boys? In case you thought so, it's not a rumor, it's very true, confirmed by the pope himself. If I were you, I do just shut up becos no one is immune to sin, not you, not me, not reverend fathers and sisters and definitely not these high rolling men of God flooding Naija with private jets!
Wonders shall never end,when a man of God says self servicing is no sin,just keep me wondering
80%of comments here re negative, how will nigeria move 4wry? Dis is y going 2 church is even hard 4 me. One fake news ya'all capitalised on it without asking questions on d genesis of d issue. Lindodo I warn u last tym 2 desist the 4rm men of God issue nd now see d number of people u dey help attract curse on their life. Oga nd madam judges una no go leave God 2 do em work? Huh???
Maybe she tried and they couldn't work it out.
Don't you think they have been trying, or do you think their problems started today. Why should he allow his wife stay away from him. I mean that is an open invitation for temptation. See body no be firewood, pastor or not we are all humans and we must do everything to prevent temptation
See Naija brain washed Christians, nobody get the liver to blame the pastor, u guys still found a way to tie it around the wife as d culprit. As though the pastor is not a mere man that can sin, that's why he's one of the richest pastors in Nigeria cos of brainwashed idiots like u all.
u are very stupid!!!...is telling lies in d first commandment!!.....being gay is a sin!!!....go and check ur old testament......GAY FOOL.....xo ur trying to say there are only 10 sins.....idiot
Before your stupid ass started watching America movies did you know you were gay. Dummy.
Let's agree is true.We are not under the law but under grace, sin can not have dominion over us for we are under grace and not under the law, this is a righteousness without a law.It's a gift and the gift of God is without regrets. Pastor Chris is a christian like you and I but the difference is that he has a higher faith. A spiritual man judgeth all things, himself will not be judged by any man. Becareful....
They shall overcome this together by the Glory of the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ, a name above every other name both in Heaven and in earth and beneath the earth and any named that is named including divorce.Amen!
Thank you! Let him be an example! All this "accept men cheat" shit is insensitive and selfish. You marry a man,change your name,leave your family,have his children,lose your body,when you die sef you'll be buried in His family home,yet he will desert you emotionally n sometimes physically n go after gold-digging opportunistic whores and the woman will just be there miserable,taking consolation in her children.
You people forget a woman is still first and foremost a humanbeing.
If he cheated n she has taken it to court,the heartbreak probably became too much for her!
I hope this is not true, but if it's true I pray that God will have mercy ooooooooo.And restore them.
I hope this is not true, but if it's true I pray that God will have mercy ooooooooo.And restore them.
And some folks will want to worship pastors. Rubbish
I never liked that Christ embassy church! Runs girls full the church, they would sleep with married men , pressure these men to buy cars for them then go to church to give thanksgiving for the fruit of their adultery. God can't be mocked. Some would even pay tithe untop their runs money..
Who is perfect.why are we acting as if we don't have sin.please they need our prayers.
I am not a member of Christ Embassy but I am of the Christian faith. I don't want to be judgmental on this. However, Pastor Chris and Pastor Anita - please and please wake-up. For the sake of the gospel of Christ, wake up! A whole lot of people are looking up to the guys? How will you reconcile other homes going through marital crisis if yours is crashing at your very eye! What are you teaching us Christians? Please sir and please ma, your position in the christian circle is very crucial and your decision on this matter can make or mar things. Kindly go back home and sort things out!
Nothing like a woman scorn. I'm not here to judge but I advise you read about David in the bible. Despite all he did he was still the man after God's heart.
Why not just pray for the couple and leave it all to God!!!
President GEJ biggest fan
LollllllL @ anony 2:16pm Christmas Embassy indeed. Hahahahahahahhaahhaha
Foolish judges! Stop judging n speaking guile. R u perfect. Oya cast ur stones sinless beings. How many of u can live in n by God's word. Stop d foolishness n work out u r salvation, n don't sin against d holy spirit.
