Millions of Christ Embassy Church members all over the world are now discussing in hush tones about the latest information filtering in that the church founder; Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s wife, Pastor Anita has reverted to her father’s name and she is now addressed as Pastor Anita Ebhodaghe. Besides, the congregation is also shocked that Pastor Anita has started her own church online; www.pastoranita.org because millions of the church members have been praying for Pastor Chris and wife to resolve their matrimonial crisis peacefully and amicably instead of going to court for divorce as Pastor Anita has done in London since last year.
Be that as it may, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has reacted to his wife’s allegations against him in her divorce suit in a London Court. He opened up about the burning issue which is currently on the lips of Christians at a Sunday service recently.
Hear him; “you don’t know who a man of God is, I don’t go in that direction. I wasn’t accused of those things you said nor did I commit those stupid things that you said and I don’t need to go into that level in such discussions. Jesus Christ was accused by many. A lot of frivolous charges, there will always be those who like it to be true. But you know in spite of the accusations against Jesus, it didn’t change who he was. It didn’t change him. There are preachers and there are men of God. I’m not a preacher, I am a man of God and I go in the way I am asked to go. It may cause some troubles with individuals but that is not because I have done something wrong and when it comes to Reverend Anita, what I will say to you is to pray for her. Don’t act like those people, if you are married to a man of God, it doesn’t make you automatically mature. You can make mistakes, you can do something that is wrong. But some people expect the wife of a minister to definitely be at the level of that minister and so they may be looked upon and the expectation may be like that, but it’s a positional thing. If a man of God is married, it doesn’t automatically mean that the wife of a man of God is therefore a woman of God. That is not the way it is in the bible. How many of them? Who was Peter’s wife, did you ever know her name? You never find that out. Who was John’s wife? Did you ever read the name? What about all the other Apostles? How many of their names are written in the bible. You never find their names. You have to understand something about a man of God. A man of God is not just someone who worships God or preaches God. A man of God is handpicked by God, set on course by God. If you study the scripture, you will not find one man of God that goes against God, sinning against God. The only thing you might find will be a man of God, maybe in to different kinds of ways. Moses for example, when he struck the rock twice, he was provoked by the anger of the people. It was not because he wanted to do”.
