It has been alleged from various quarters that popular
couple-pastors in Nigeria, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and his wife, Rev. Anita
Oyakhilome of Believers’ Love World Assembly, aka Christ Embassy Church might
have gone separate ways. The rumor is coming from the sudden disappearance of
Rev. Anita from their UK church, where she is a pastor.
According to a report published in the UK on Wednesday, 28
May, 2014, most of the members of Christ Embassy Church in the UK are beginning
to show concerns on why the couple has not been seen together both in the
church and outside the church lately.
In an attempt to find answers to their worries, some members
of the church have allegedly went to open a Facebook page which they call
‘Where is Rev. Anita The page administrators who are based in the United
Kingdom and are strong members of the church, stated on the page that they are
very worried about the absence of Rev. Anita Oyakhilome in the life of Pastor Chris.
While demanding to know her whereabouts, the members stated
on the facebook page that they wondering what has become of the clergywoman.
According to comments on the facebook page, Rev. Anita 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.
In a meeting with all his UK Pastors and Deacons at Christ
Embassy, Bermondsey, on 16/05/2014, Pastor Oyakhilome stated, “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.
