Video: Chris Oyakhilome speaks on divorce; says media is writing stupid things


Y'all need to listen to this. He said he was not accused of the things (the media) said, and neither did he 'commit' those 'stupid' things (the media) said. And he asked people to pray for his wife because she made a mistake. For those who can't view the video, continue to read what he said...



"I understand that some media houses particularly in Nigeria and maybe in South Africa have been writing some real stupid things. Frivolous charges...that's crazy.

You have to understand something about a Man of God. A man of God is not just someone who worships God or who preaches God. A man of God is directed by God, set on course by God. If you study the scriptures you will not find one Man of God going against God, sinning against God. The only thing you can find is a Man of God, maybe in two different things 1. Moses for example, when he struck the rock twice, provoked by the anger of the people, not because he wanted to do something against the Lord.

No Man of God does something against the Lord. A Man of God is set on course, there is a type of life that he's been given, alright?

Then you have a young man, a young prophet, he wasn't named, he was deceived by another Man of God, and so he went in the direction God says don't go. That's only the kind of thing you would find about a Man of God when he misses the message of God or he acts beyond what God said.

But a Man of God setting himself in defiance to the word of God and living like they are writing those stupid things about me that I did this, that I did that, you don't know what a Man of God is. I don't go in that direction. That seems crazy.

I wasn't accused of those things you said, nor did I commit those stupid thing that you said and I don't need to go to that level and such discussions. Jesus Christ was accused by many, with lots of frivolous charges. There would always be those who would like for it to be true, but you know, in spite of the accusations against Jesus, it didn't change who he was!

There are preachers and there are Men of God. I'm not a preacher, I'm a Man of God. Understand the difference. And I go in the way I'm asked to go, it may cause some troubles with individuals, but that's not because I've done something wrong.

And when it comes to Rev. Anita, what I'd say to you is pray for her, don't act like 'why  is she....' . If you're married to a Man of God it does not you make automatically mature. You can make mistakes, but you know, people expect the wife of a Minister to definitely be at the level of the Minister, and so they may be looked upon and the expectations maybe like that, but it's a positional thing. If a Man of God is married, it does not automatically mean the wife of the Man of God is therefore a Woman of God! That's not how it is in the Bible. That's why you don't really find wives of Men of God mentioned in the bible. How many of them? Who was Peter's wife? Did you ever know her name? Who was John's wife? Did you ever read the name? What about all the other apostles? How many are registered in the bible? You never find their names, why? Ask God when you find Him!

So, they are little things, don't try to make something big out of them. We're journeying, doing the things that God's called us to do. Christians should not have a divorce. It shouldn't be. But that doesn't mean a Christian may not take the step. They may do it, but that doesn't make it right. And we shouldn't take one another to court, but when it happens, not because we want to go there, someone is taking us there. That's a problem. Be wise and stay focused in the Word of God, and don't let those who want to feast on things like this including Christians. The Christians who like things like this, they want to make something big about it. And say yes we said it. You said what? You should only say those things that are from God, and become honorable in your speech. And judge nothing before the time. Be wise, Glory to God.

So we are going greater and greater and greater by the power of the living Christ. So, we are not walking in sin and living in sin and hoping we can mix sin and righteousness together, No! We are the manifestations of His righteousness, we walk in that light only, and that's the way it's going to be! Glory to God

Anonymous said...

I am abit short of words.
I respect pastor Chris however i feel he should be talking to his wife directly and asking people to pray for himself and his wife to resolve the issues between them not chastising her publicly and acting like he has no fault.
whichever way you look at this, leaving a woman to raise her children on her own for 16 years in a foreign land is not cool at all.
That is called neglect. no attention, affection nothing yet your church members have you with them 24/7, i have to say you should not have married her in the first place, proceeded to have sex with her and have 2 children if you knew you were called to be like this.
remember Peter in the Bible said it is not compulsory to marry, because then you will focus solely on the work of God but also it is not good to be alone and if you do choose to marry then you have to do the right the by the family(wife and children) you have created.
Why wasn't anyone in the audience asking any questions? everyone just agreeing like they were spell bound?
I am a Christian ...born again Christian but i am not perfect and noone is.
Pastor chris, it seems you never wanted to actually be with this woman....and you dont even want to be with her still.
I actually found it strange that you two lived seperately for years and was really hoping it will never come to this.
Please retract your steps and seek for reconsilation not condeming a hurt woman.God bless you

Uhmnnn....... did he call her immature or is that just me interpreting words... lol! as much as I agree wit the fact that the wife of a minister sometimes can be positional... but no trust me... she does have a role to play in your ministry. MEANWHILE... Pst Anita is even a Pastor. she is a woman of God. I'm sooo not satisfied with this video. And that part about men of God in the bible... nah... I mean people take the word of God and twist it to suit their own personal gain. I can't understand. Now we just caught a glimpse of what Pst Anita accused him of. as far as i'm concerned this video proves him guilty.. even if I doubted Pst Anita before. Like he just put the blame on her totally. meanwhile... some women are in the audience catching the "spirit"... tor! it is well o!

So! I had to watch this on youtube because your copy isn't opening. I am still sitting on the fence on this matter although I don't appreciate what he had to say about his wife's immaturity. I also need more convincing on the "Men of God don't go against Him" because they are still human at the end of the day, fallible in nature except by His grace. But mehn, Pastor Chris is angry oh, saying stupid and all what not, lol. Whatever the case, time will tell.

Those words reek of arrogance unbefitting for a man of God and his followers were busy shouting in agreement.Some Pastors will lead many astray coz we've since removed our focus on christ!

MY TURN said...

Referring to his wife in third person is very callous and extremely immature. Man of God indeed look we are all men and women of God when it comes to it. It's just that our society has idolised orators like this clown making them become demi-gods and untouchables. Chris need to go study the scriptures when David fell into sin he ran back to God in repentance he wasn't arrogant about it this is why we have the book of psalms today. shameless man

He sounds very defensive which is not a good thing in my opinion. Though the crises in his marraige has become public knowledge I personally don't think he owes any one all this explanations. He should focus on solving his marital issues rather than seeking public support cos that's what all this explanation seems.

Igwe said...

Pastor Chris, Men of God are not SUPER HUMAN. Even as they are appointed by God. Humans are not perfect being no matter your level of spiritualism. Men of God do commit adultery or fornication. Do you remember David in the bible. What about Sampson. These are men appointed & utilized by God. At the end of the day, what matters is true & genuine repentance. God forgave David & Sampson because they both genuinely repented. Sampson's hair grew though he died & David was restored & remained a man after God's own heart. David was an extremist in his own case because he had to kill somebody's husband just to commit an adultery. So, what are we talking about? I want to advice every worshipper to just follow the footsteps of our Lord Jesus Christ & study your bible. Don't worship or follow your PASTOR blindly. He's a human being as you. He makes mistakes. The bible so much emphasize on WISDOM. Please, be wise!!!

Touch not my anointed is what the good book says so lemme just keep shut on this issue. But........

I love you Pastor Chris and I'm praying for you. But honestly, you need to shut up and stop making your wife look like she's an idiot. At least now we know why she dragged your ass to court. Get off your high horse and let God heal your home. With God, nothing shall be impossible.

True talk! If it is your eye that will make you sin pluck it out. If it is your hands that are stopping you from following the Lord's words cut them off. Humans of God should find ways to resolve matters and not go in front of an ordinary flesh for justice or judgement.

We will know all on judgement day. I'm tired of their story. Those who believe in his calling will believe anything he says. Who are we to judge?

Anonymous said...

There is a part of the Bible that warns those that think they stand lest they fall. Pastors and so called men of God are not excluded.
Don't put any man before God. There is no mediator after Christ.All men are flesh and the nature of sin is in all including Pastors. The Bible says call no man good even Christ admonished the man that called Him 'good master'.
What defines a 'man of God'? Is it those that are called according to them in their bedrooms? What motivates men to be known as men of God and therefore elevate themselves above other Christians? We all have equal access to the Holy of Holies and direct access to God through Christ. Why put a man of flesh in between you and God? Denying the free access that Christ has given you to God? Why idolize these 'men of God'? Ask yourselves this question; churches everywhere and the land[Nigeria} is full of darkness. The church and Christians are meant to be the light of the world but everywhere is covered in darkness and blood. Does that not tell you about the quality of these 'men of God'? Christians should repent of this idolatry and lift their hearts to God and worship God in spirit and truth.

It is so irritating that Chris Oyakhilome is saying this NOW when he knew all along that his wife is not CALLED!

I am catholic, but I like Pastor Chris and I agree with the statement in his message. However, marriage is a very delicate relationship between a man n woman. And distance can lead to separation which in turn leads to divorce. I don't think it's Anita's fault or yours probably d obsession abt d church @ d expense of ur marriage. I think you shld hve invested more time in ur marriage. Divorce isn't a solution just causes more problems Dan good.

The media has made lots of wrong accusations that are not true. The media said he was charged for adultery and thats not what was in the information filled to the court . An assumption was made by the first media house that carried the news for whatever reason they may have wanted to achieve. Secondly the same media source said her picture was struck off the website which was also not true because i checked the website and i found her picture there on www.christembassy.org/site/ourministry/profile . Which means many people just read and digest what they see in the media and never bother to verify the information

The Only Ground For Divorce is ADULTERY. Even the bible recommends to forgive if you can. So You two must stay together.

Pastor Chris should have also asked the church to pray for him too cos he is the one that needs it.How can you rubbish your wife so low and i public?How can you speak in such a manner and in such a degrading language that 'stupid things and crazy stuff'...wow..this is unbelievable.. I found it very disturbing that this man was comparing himself to Jesus Christ. Pastor Anita did not just wake up one morning and accused Pastor Chris of adultery and none of us can love Pastor Chris more than Pastor Anita and their children. Pastor Anita is not mentally sick, she is a Pastor that is well educated and she must have prayed over this for a long time before she finally decided to open up. Pastor Chris, my advice to you is for you to go and ask God for forgiveness and then go and make peace with your wife. You cannot be the head of the church when your house is on fire. We are not fools as we can say the difference between goat and yam.Pastor Anita is your wife, handle her like an egg and show her true love.it is a disgrace that some women were in the said video nodding their head...Shame!!!

Has anyone asked him when last he had a meaningful conversation with his wife? Asked her how she is doing, taken her for dinner, spent meaningful time with the children? etc. The bible says love your wife as Christ loves the church and also leave your parents and cleave together and become one. If pastor Anita's grieviance is that he is not there for her, a good suggestion might be reconciliation and move back to naija and pastor too should create abit of time for her. I dont agree with him that he is faultless. Let pastor chris take his time before talking about his marriage. May God help both of them

Now he has come out to address d issue on ground and u still complain dat nobody is perfect dat he should stop being arrogant. We all kno how dis media people cook up stories so dat stupid people who only always want d downfall of a man of God can buy their papers.

This is preposterous!Judas Iscariot was a man of God, handpicked by God, but it was he who betrayed Jesus! Peter that you talked about told his fellow believers that even he had to be vigilant lest he missed the crown (heaven); this clearly shows that no one, not even a man of God is immuned to sin and the fall from grace.What is this man talking about? Most churches are built on a very faulty set of doctrines and dogmas.This is exactly why churches rise and fall after just decades but the Catholic Church continues to march on. I'm sorry Pastor Chris, I think you are heading down a slippery slope.

Hmmmm..... Long and short if this broadcast is "Woman don't matter in God's plan abi? Or the blood of Jesus that was shed for women is substandard to the one that was shed for men, which must be the reason why according to Pastor Chris, no man of God's wife was spoken about in the bible. Talk about people interpreting bible passages to suit their purposes and cover their backs.
Easy for him to say now, after she has helped you grow the church in the UK and amassed a lot of wealth for you. Women don't matter but their money does..... Remembering that the highest partner/giver to BLW for years was a woman, so much so that her husband got ordained as a deacon just because of that..... Talk of cash for honours.....
"Christians should not have a divorce..... It isn't right......" How many marriages have broken up all in the name of serving in BLW? How many have the "senior" pastor/pastors intervened in and helped to stop? Is it not part of the ministry's teaching that you put God First, Ministry second and Family and others come thereafter?
Such arrogance!!!!
I can't believe I sat under this teaching and believed all it for years. Thank you Lord Jesus for opening my eyes when you did and delivering me from manipulation and bondage.

Regardless ? The worst part is that the women in his audience are there shaking their heads like agama lizards ! He even still has the audacity to say that God never mentioned "men of God's" wives in the bible? Sarah na wetin? Rebecca, Leah, Mary, Deborah, the 3 women who washed Jesus? just to mention a few !
Pst Anita is not crazy ! She must have seen STRONG things in that marriage( some of which this male chauvinist is displaying in this video). You are on a superior level abi ? and she is in a lower class? These are all clear signs of sociopathy. He needs to be checked psychologically. Mtcheeeeewwww!!!!

So, the woman is to blame.
Well, this is a lesson for all of us who exalt the man of God above the GOD of the man. O yes, we always deny this but our words, our actions and lifestyle show otherwise.
For many born again christians it is " G.O said ...", " G.O did ..." " my pastor this and my pastor that".
Is your pastor your example now, or is it Christ?
It is never "the Lord said ..." or "the Lord did ..." . Our everyday speech is full of "my pastor, the GO, my pastor . . . "
Do we need discipleship? Yes but our focus should ALWAYS be on Christ. Look for the things He did and the words He spoke and site them as your daily examples. The men of God themselves tell us this but we don't listen.
God says,
“Seek Me and live;
But do not seek Bethel [e.g. Redeemed Camp],
Nor enter Gilgal [e.g Orioke],
Nor pass over to Beersheba [e.g prayer city];
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And Bethel shall come to nothing.
Seek the Lord and live," Amos 5: 5-7.
I pray that we all grow in the knowldge and the wisdom of GOD. Amen

I was a member of Christ Embassy for over 20 years. It is a ministry founded on the Word of God but somewhere along the line, doctrines started changing. I had to leave because I saw myself heading for hell if I continued to stay there. The Bible teachings are twisted to suit whatever situation is on ground. Pastor Anita is a woman of God, anyone who knows her will say the same. The sycophants cannot say anything against what their boss says because he pays their salaries. CAN and PFN will jot intervene because they have been abused by Pastor Chris. I pray for the young Christians whose faith is founded on Pastor Chris and not Jesus Christ, that their eyes will be opened as mine were and they will begin to question what they are being taught.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. (‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭1-33‬ KJV)
Firstly, I want to use this my first time to advice Linda to stop posting abusive, insultive and threaten message. To my comment, Pastor Chris, from your video and this scripture, you are responsible for all this. 1. You should have build your wife up, 2. You should have presented her honourable, not put are down, you are the head of this home that is in mess, you take the responsibility. 3.You should have love your wife as Christ love the church and die for her even when they are still a sin not other woman, 4 You should have join -leave together- with your wife as Bible instructed. From all angle your wife seems to follow the scripture because by now we should have been hearing of her adultery and your daughters, leave them for this long. My prayer the goes to you that God will open the eye of your understanding to see the mystery of the end of the path you are taken and grace to amend it. Love to all body of Christ. Pst T

This is exactly what's I've been thinking. Even secular celebrities know enough to not speak bad about their significant others at times like this. His only public statement should have been, "I love her, I always will she's a wonderful person and the mother of my kids." That's all! Not this nauseating drivel! Smdh!
