Church Crisis: Has Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Divorced His Wife Anita?
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy, and wife, Rev. Anita's marriage has been clouded in secrecy for a long time and many church members do not know the truth. Are we getting to the root of the matter in this
expose?
The question whether the founder of Love World Assembly, aka Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has divorced his wife, Rev. Anita Oyakhilome, is raging currently in the church with some members going ahead to open a Facebook page they call 'Where is Rev. Anita Oyakhilome?'
The page administrators who are based in the United Kingdom and are strong members of the church, are very worried about the absence of the woman of God in the life of Pastor Chris and have wondered what has become of the woman and are demanding to know her whereabouts.
According to the pages, Rev. Anita Oyakhilome hasn’t been seen in the Christ Embassy Church where she pastors since November, 2013, and there were no explanations given, as to her sudden disappearance and the church has been left without a pastor since then.
In one of the posts on
the page, the members want to know the real truth about her mental state as
there are
speculations she may not be really sound upstairs, while they are also wondering if their Senior Pastor had divorced the wife without the members knowing.

In another post, the group reported the summary of an earlier speech made by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, where he admonished his members not to question anything they see or air their opinion on any matter in the church. He pointed out in the speech, that any church where the members air their views never grows.

Summary of pastor
Chris Oyakhilome's Speech on 16/05/2014 in a meeting with all UK Pastors and
Deacons at Christ Embassy, Bermondsey.
I am here for your
concerns about the ongoing domestic issue with my wife and I know it affects
you directly, being the ones under her leadership.
This is not an
organisation or a political party, so it's not a place for you to air your
opinion or scrutinise what we do. We had a vision, started and you joined us.
If you don't like what we do, you can get out.
Churches where members
air their views never grow.
Some pastors wives
think when they marry a pastor they are equal to the pastor. My wife thinks so,
as a matter of fact, Rev. Tom was her pastor before I married her and Rev. Ray
and Evang. Owase were her leaders long before I married her. How come she
thinks she's senior to them now?
I already started
Christ Embassy before I married her. I didn't marry her and said we should
start Christ Embassy. I was already pastoring. I already set my sail and knew
my direction before I married her. I only said come and help me.
Be careful of the
friends you keep. My wife keeps friends who bring out the worst in her and help
her see the worst in people instead of keeping friends that will help her
vision especially as the wife of a global pastor like me.
Bitterness is
prolonged and accumulated anger. My wife is always angry and bitter.
Allegations are either
false or twisted information. The current situation is not as a result of what
I did or what I didn't do. I didn't do anything to have caused an upheaval.
You don't join a woman
to fight her husband.
I'm not teaching you what is wrong, at least I
have 2 girls who will one day marry and I want to them to enjoy it.
Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome has debunked the rumours that his marriage to wife, Pastor Anita
Oyakhilome has crashed.
And according to him it’s the work of mischief makers. The preacher in an exclusive chat with ENCOMIUM through one of his officials, Kenneth Achumasara, on Sunday, June 1, 2014, around 4pm stated there is no iota of truth in the speculations.
“There is no iota of
truth in the story. Rev. Anita is handling our UK agency and she is still
ministering till date. I can tell you authoritatively that there is no issue
between
Pastor Chris and his wife, Anita.’
Pastor Chris and his wife, Anita.’
Another official who
pleaded anonymity also corroborated Achumasara’s statement saying the report is
baseless and unfounded.
“If you go to the UK now you will see her
along with the kids. She is still with him and there is no issue between them.
I have been with him for 22 years and the Pastor Chris I know cannot even utter
such words as reported. He will never address such a gathering. She will soon
be in Nigeria for a programme and I will definitely invite you to have access
to her.”
Nothing in this world
is painful than this situation, am very shocked and paralyzed with this news.
May God restore the
work of his hands and heal all the wounded part of his body of Christ.
Jamaniiiiiiiiii! Why
this happens to the people of God? Nways
naamini DEVIL is a Lie… (HATE U DEVIL)
"Our Problems may seem overwhelming, but God’s Power is
STRONGER than any obstacle we may FACE…"
“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for
another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man
availeth much” James 5:16(KJV)
MAY GOD RESTORE THIS
MARRIAGE NO MATTER WHAT
Dear God
I lift up couples to you right now who are currently
separated or even recently divorced. I pray that you would touch each of their
hearts and soften them towards their spouse, I pray for reconciliation. May you
transform their relationships, help them to forgive and bless them with the
revelation of how to be. Tear down any prideful walls that are keeping them distant
and renew these marriages in JESUS NAME
AMEN!
