On Sunday evening, during the monthly global communion service of the church, he addressed the allegations as “crazy” and “stupid”. Pastor Chris acknowledged that divorce is UNBIBLICAL He also criticized the media for prying into his private life and urged members of his church to pray for his estranged wife.

In the video (below) Pastor Chris says;

“I understand that some media houses particularly in Nigeria and maybe in South Africa (I don't know) but there are some of them that have been writing some real stupid things...real stupid things, and errrrhh...frivolous charges...that's crazy.

A man of God...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 hand picked 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 things you can find is a Man of God, maybe...in two different things 

 That's only the kind of thing you'd 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 against the word and living like they (media houses) are writing those stupid things about me that I did this, and I did that...You don't know what a Man of God is.. I don't go in that direction. That's seems crazy.

I wasn't accused of those things you (media houses) said, nor did I commit those stupid things that you said...and I don't need to go into that level and such discussions. Jesus Christ was accused by many, with lots of frivolous charges. There would ALWAYS be those who'd 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 why why is she....' If you’re Married to a Man of God it doesn’t make you automatically mature! You can make mistakes, you can do something that’s wrong…but you know, 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 expectations maybe like that, but it's a positional thing, alright.  

If a Man of God is married, it doesn’t automatically mean that the wife of the Man of God is therefore a Woman of God! That's not the way 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 know her name? You'd never found 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 found their names, why? Ask God when you find HIM! **Smiles 

So, there’re little things, and don't try to make something big out of them, and we're journeying, doing the things that God's called us to do...CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT HAVE A DIVORCE, it shouldn't be, but you see, 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 wanna 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. You know there are Christians who like things like this, they wanna make something big about it... and say yeah yeah yeah we said it..; You said what? *smiles* You should only say those things that are from God, and become honorable in your speech, Alright! ...and judge nothing before the time...be wise, Glory to God.  

So we’re going greater and greater and greater by the power of the living Christ. Hallelujah! 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 gonna be! Glory to God" *end*

Reports allerge that in April, Anita Oyakhilome filed for divorce at Central Family Court, High Holborn, London, UK, citing her husband’s “unreasonable behaviour” and inappropriate relationships with members of staff, a euphemism for “adultery”. The charismatic pastor has however always denied the charges.

As Christians, I believe our duty is to keep them in prayer.
