IMPORTANT INFORMATION


Important Information

 

It has been brought to my attention that there are persistent rumors and misinformation about my marital status being circulated and I would like to address the certain reconciliation rumours with this statement.

Further to the formal notification of the dissolution of marriage made by my Solicitors earlier this year, please note that this has not changed; and I am no longer a part of Christ Embassy aka Believer’s Loveworld or any such organisation in any capacity.

I am reiterating this to ensure that no one is misled by the false rumors or unfounded statements that show up and are spread from time to time on the Internet.

Any additional statement concerning me will be issued by my Solicitors, who are my legal representatives so please do not be deceived.

Thank you and God bless.

Woman of God I have always respected you and I will continue to do so. I know you love your husband very well. Whatever has happened will certainly will be corrected. My one request i want to make is for you to continue to stay strong and continue to pray for your husband. I know The spirit of God will open his eyes to see beyound fame and fortune and humble himself and do the will of God and nt the will of man. It is well.

I can only wonder at the post of some people here. How a blog to refute a false claim can generate so much hatred. Shall we continue to sin that grace may abound?. Deceit is sin. This blog was not about CE nor pastor Chris. It was just refusing to accept rumours to spread. I wonder why pastor Chris himself cannot quench such rumours when he knows it is not true....or may he thrives on it...who knows.

Your heart is so filled with hate and bigotry! Repent my friend and seek God's mercy, before it's too late for you.

Promise, your post amazes me. This woman did not talk about CE nor Pastor Chris, yet you go on the offensive. You must be living in another world to think that rumours like that can go unnoticed. It only shows you are from one of the so called CEC member of Pastor Chris. My friend you better get real and go and serve God and not man. You will never gain anything from serving man, niether can you be buried with him to worhship him in the life after. Look unto God who is the author and finisher of our faith The fact remains that there was never any reconciliation and the lady did nothing wrong in confirming that. If that hurts you, please go back to those that sent you and tell them you have failed!.

Typical CE behaviour, all talk and no character or substance to back it up. The woman you once called mummy you're now addressing in this manner, shame on you! Go back to your brood of vipers and deceived PC worshipping folk. Spreading like a virus more like...

Promise your write up just shows that you are part of a web of lies and deceit. How a blog that refuses to accept the lies and rumours out there can transgress to spreading lies about CE i don't understand. She never mentioned anything about CE nor Pastor Chris. She only did what any sensible person will do, which is to refuse to allow lies and rumours grow wings. Promise, it really shows that you are small minded and not even worth anyones time. I wonder how much CE has given you to say all these rubbish. Do you think that the person that the individual involved is not going through the pain and hurt?. Divorce is not what any one wishes but from your post it shows that you are only interested in worshipping a MAN and God help you. You love Pastor Chris in life and death.... I feel sorry for you. Please go and repent and start loving God more than man!.

the black man tends to be so gullible and weak in his thinking and analysis. someone goes on the internet to put a picture of reconciliation of divorced couple. you obviously can see that it is an old picture and had been in circulation, you didn't read any statement of reconciliation by the couple nor see them together at public gathering. Yet you are quick to copy such message and post on your wall. your mind is weak and your thinking is slow. I am not talking on behalf of Pastor Anita at this point, I have never met her one on one nor spoken to her but i know from African proverb that "yiyo ekun, bi tojo ko" ...It means ( the gentle striding of a tiger must never be mistaken for cowardice)... The fact that the lady is silent and has not uttered a single word must never be taken for nativity or weakness. When a woman that has been through many things decides to exit and go in peace, try not to push such too hard because you will be surprised what is behind her long silence . African Christians use your mind and brain. It was put there to be used by the same God you call on . Use it .

Good statement to clarify: Next: Ignore them....lies are fast....but fades quickly when truth catches up with it. It clearly shows how desperate they are to have you back, how much they have exploited you in the past and how deeply morally bankrupt they really want the world to believer. Hold your peace.

Pastor Anita, Please answer me, Should Christians keep anger for long, and hold to a grudge? I know at some point we might get offended, nut should we hold on with the grudge for a long time?

The news are not being spread by any Christ Embassy Member of any sort! The ending part of the news shows that! Stop Blasting Christ Embassy for no reason woman! Enough of your rootless lies! All i see as long as the church is concerned since you left is SPREADING, GROWING AND INCREASING! Your suspicion and lies can only work on a few not all! And to that Mr, coming here to talk thrash may God forgive you already! Thank God that God doesn't need man to chose anyone! The truth is, WE DON'T BELIEVE YOUR LIES ON PASTOR CHRIS ADULTERY ALLEGATION! It's so baseless! That even the least two years old child will know! Accusing someone of Adultery with no proof and evidence to the general public is scam from you! Tell us you divorced because you wanna go, and not go around spreading stupid talks about a man of God! Yea! Why won't they believe you? Did they ever liked Pastor Chris? They don't! If He was the one who'd accused you of this! I don't think anyone will dare to accept it! But because its him, they are like, Yeepaaa! Finally we gat something to hold on to! God searches the Heart, God still knows who is his! I feel sorry for those who'd been succesfully deceived by your divorce cock and bull story! Where you ever a Pastor? Who Made you? Now you are gone, GIVE THEM BACK THEIR TITLE! And continue in your wonder land! We love Pastor Chris and no one, i repeat, no one, in life in death, from wherever, will change that! Go on Ma'am Anita! Like you've never done anything bad! And you've never sinned! Hope you no longer pray again! You don't even have a ministry! Who would ever attend the church of one who give clueless info! After all said and done, Christ Embassy, is spreading and standing strong! You should know your husband better in this regard! Side talks, does no harm to a ministry that was founded on Love, and prayer! Good day!

People are indeed desperate to pull a crowd so they have once more resorted to false rumours and propaganda which is their stock in trade. The ungodly are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the way of the ungodly shall perish. Pastor, please relax and be at peace and let God fight your battle. Beautiful Lady do not let anyone ruffle your feathers for you are too beautiful to descend to the level of rascals

Pastor Anita,I stand with you at this crucial hour.I know what you've gone though.Many out there don't really know the truth of all that transpires.I know you stand for the truth and nothing but the Biblical truth.Jehovah shall be glorified Himself now and always.Be strong!!!

The rumours did not emanate from nowhere and for no purpose. The mischief makers wearing the robe of righteousness, as usual, are at it again to garner more goodwill for the upcoming crusades of their ministry. In their bid to proselytize, they are asked questions they have no correct answers to ; they are given cold shoulders for the perceived cesspool of iniquity in the ministry. So, they turned to the greatest weapon they have....lies and propaganda. How can a church that claims to preach the gospel, use the tool of the devil? Lying is the Genesis of evil. It was what Satan employed to destroy man's relationship with God in Eden. A people that employ lies to achieve their purpose are satanic.

The breakdown of any marriage irrespective of who you are can be most painful and hurtful. I do not wish it on anyone and I am sure God does not too. I do not want to go into what God say in his word about what he intended marriage to look like, as we would be here for a long time. However it is always good to stand on what is the truth rather than spread rumours that are not correct. Deceit is an act that can kill the human Spirit and severe ones relationship with God and God hates deceit. My advice to those spreading rumours. LET GO AND LET GOD!!!

I used to be a member of CE. You could never say anything near negative about Pst Chris where I was. I would almost cry and attack such a person with all venom. I knew later that something was definitely wrong with that because I never got upset that way when Jesus is spoken of in a not so nice way. So, I understand why Promise has written as he has. It's a very bad spirit. I'm free now! Praise God! Thank you Pst Anita for the clarification. And thank you for taking the stand for truth and integrity. One has to truly love Jesus to take this stand against the powers of CE. God bless you always.

Word for promise. Please promise read and let it soak in 2 Peter 3:3-7 AMP To begin with, you must know and understand this, that scoffers (mockers) will come in the last days with scoffing, people who walk after their own fleshly desires [4] And say, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the forefathers fell asleep, all things have continued exactly as they did from the beginning of creation. [5] For they willfully overlook and forget this fact, that the heavens came into existence long ago by the word of God, and the earth also which was formed out of water and by means of water, [6] Through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. [7] But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been stored up (reserved) for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly people. Promise please I want to encourage you to follow after Christ not after a man. If he dies today will you be buried with him?. Know no man after the flesh....

Thank you so much Pastor Anita for taking the time to address these baseless rumours - I appreciate it. Now those who want to deceive themselves can continue to do so on their own and not pull down others along with them. I was particularly encouraged by the fact that one of those who posted the false claims on Facebook has retracted his statement. In the meantime, keep your head held high. Ignore the rantings of lunatics, back-biters and the self-deluded! You've always handled the rumours and the stories with grace and dignity - and we love you for that. God, who ordained you, and has kept you thus far, will no doubt complete the awesome work He created you for - of that I have no doubt! And anyone who has a problem with that can go and take a long walk off a short pier!

Promise I think you have started to prove me right after all.... I think that communion you take has been laced up with something that tempers with your brain.... You no longer reason well bcoz your mind and body now belong to your Pastor.... Anytime someone says something about your Pastor you are ready to fight and kill for him.... But it seem to be okay for someone to talk down on Jesus and you accept it and walk away but no one dares talk down on Pastor Chris? The Holy Spirit does within me does not bear witness to such a one and such organization.... There is a system that is founded in CE and that system is not founded in love.... And it is not of God! And you promise have just confirm it! I pray that the holyspirit will open your eye to see and see for real!

The truth is always the truth. Pastor Anita only clarified some issues and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Posting lies about a situation is awkward. Trying to get people to believe lies is not godly. I don't know what the church is turning into these days. Woman of God, retain your God-given peace and forget about these wolves in sheep's clothing.

Thank you Rev Anita for clearing the air. When I read such stories like this, I begin to ask myself lots of question. What do we really believe? Who/what are we following? Simple answer is, LIVE FOR JESUS ALONE AND DONT BE MEN PLEASERS. its an effort in futility. God continue to bless and uphold you Rev Anita. I love you dearly

When you talk, they will preach 'do not judge' but they all judged, ridiculed and condemned the woman. She did this , she did that...but when it comes to their 'God of men' you hear 'I did not send him, I cannot judge him' . Did you send the woman? You see how hypocritical people can be. ' The matter is to high for us' as in how? Is it Illuminati? How is a matter too high for Gods children I would ask? Oh we have become fools or little children who knows nothing. Deceiving and lieing to people since 1880. People are beginning to know what you do behind closed doors it is no longer hidden. The spot light is on you. Your cup has starting spilling it is overfull sorry your time is up! Repent!!!

Daphne, I sued to be a CE member too. All things are too high for you even if your pastor if fornicating all around which is common in CE. I wonder why people follow blindly. Anyway we were all once in it, but have been set free. I really cannot blame the members. they do not know a lot of what is going on at the top and are so tied to Pastor Chris that their thinking and interpretation of the word of God is only from what the God of man tells them. One they people like promise, who i am so sure is one of the inner circle of pastor Chris will also be set free.

the wind has blown and exposed the anus of the hen.Pastor Chris needs to repent and confess or else he is going down.I mean down as in suddenly.The Bible says,let he that thinks he stands take heed lest he falls.He committed adultery and he even has the guts to boast that a man of god cannot sin.Really???? His foot prints of adultery can be hidden from our eyes but cannot be hidden from the Creator's eyes.Keep boasting instaed of helping him repent.I see you going down with him.Terrible thing.I am utterly shocked.I only can imagine what this woman went through in his hands and suffered silently hmmmm

Please, people should not bother about Promise and her rant. She is not a Christian. Her post shows clearly that she doesnt know Christ. She just follows a Christian organisation like so many today. It will only shock you if you actually think she is a Christian. In a generation where Christianity has been redefined by organisations and God's call on men has become defined by large followership, money and fame, you will have the likes of Promise. We have been called to the life of Christ. It is a life of rigtheousness and holiness, not one of materialism. This generation will face even more difficult tests in the near future. It is the age of the great fallen away. The kingdom of the iron and brass. The lines will become more and more blurred but the remnant of God must remain steadfast. In this generation, the biggest test we face is not Islam or Illuminati or the totally twisted world out there. It is the secular church. It is gray area Christianity. It is the spirit of the antichrist! It is the false prophets and teachers who come in the name of God. They are charismatic, famous, powerful, influential and wealthy. But we must go back to the scriptures and get back to the true gospel of Christ. Not this grey area faith and grace gospel that has become the order of the day, today. The scripture is clear on who God is, what he wants and what he approves. The scripture is clear on who a Christian is. The scripture is clear on repentance and righteousness. The scripture is clear on who a true man of God is. And these have nothing to do with money, fame or materialism. People like promise have placed their faith in a man. That is what they have been taught in their congregations. I pray for such people because they will always have a faith crisis when the men they place their faith on fails or wobbles. But if you place your faith in Jesus, you will never have a faith crisis because he will not fumble or wobble. And dont blame her for her reaction. The truth is, anytime a man places his faith on a person or thing, he will have to do everything he can to protect that person/thing because if that person/thing fails, he fails. This is why Jesus said to us is Mark 11:22, "Have faith in God". The thing about faith in God is, since God cannot fail, you cannot have a faith crisis and you do not need to do anything to protect God from failing so your soul will always be at peace. For People like promise, they will always do everything to fight for their "gods" not to fail so you have to understand their situation.

Anita!!! you are not God and you will never be one. In the species of women you are not counted to be special. ADULTERY or your reasons for divorce is not welcome. You brought shame to gospel and ur matrimony. Your name is among the divorced what a shame. If ur husband did must you follow? Where do you keep di future of ur children by ur decision. Where do you keep ur followers? Where do you come from woman? Who are you to claim innocent? Who is begging ur foolishness? What are you teaching other women in the vineyard? The popularity of Chris brought you to limelight. Are you di first woman in his life? GO AND DONT RETURN BUT GOD WILL SUPPORT HIM AND THE MINISTRY. BINI WOMAN FOR THAT MATA .....

From Promise statement, you can deduce one with spirit of strife and hate. These are satanic manifestation of one without light. Anyman with the light of God can never speak in that way and manner. Promise is only a fanatic worshipper and not believer of the gospel. Promise is now expressing more pains than the said person (Anita) that is directly going through the pains of divorce. This is a clear case of religiosity, which is the spirit of rebellion, the woman of Babylon. May God save and open the eyes of Promise.

OLAKING, I have one word for you. Go an support you god of man elsewhere!. You are a total failure!. I do not support divorce neither does God, but your words shows that you are not speaking Gods mind and love. You keep bringing adultery into this blog?. Did this particular blog mention anything like that?. If a person says something is not true, does that cause you to go ranting like a silly person!. We were all part of CE for many years, so we were once like you, but have been made free from the shackles of the man of God!. Please change your heart and place your faith in God and not man!. Get real!!!!!!

Pastor , I hope you able to read this .. I never foresee the divorce coming , it hurts me so much because here in Europe it affected lots of marriages as well , I personally lost my wife as well because the words she used is that if Rev Anita can divorce why can't we that are members , and know other leaders here in Europe that are divorced or going through that presently ...

Who ever this Promise is he cannot even speak good English. He is in CE and has firgotten the Scripture that says touch not my anointed. When Rev. Anita was in CE why did he not challenge her anointing Pastor Anita you should not have given him the honour of publishing his statement. You should have just put it where it belongs in the bin. We have better things to do than read rubbish. As Christians and in this matter we should realise that we can deceive men but not God. We would face Him and give account. Therefore reverend Anita be at peace. Personally I do not support divorce but everyone knows where they are feeling the pain I am still in contact with people in CE but under no circumstances will I hide my identity as the truth needs to be told. Let us be wise and the truth be tild. God is not mocked whatever a man sows he would reap. Selah

Hello Pst Kevin, I am an avid reader of this blog and always blessed by the messages here. It is really difficult for me to ignore your pleas to Pst Anita here. Although you 'sounded like God' suggesting who would go to hell in the case of Pst Chris and Pst Anita! How could you? We are all children of God and we know that God hates divorce so no need to be condescending to anyone here. You can be assured that Pst Anita did not go into this marriage anticipating divorce; in fact she had great expectations until she found unrequited love, lies, infidelity, materialism from her life partner. Do you know how much heartbreak this woman had gone through in last 16-17 years? All mentioned above in your view may not be enough to justify divorce proceedings, but all Pst Anita's demand and attempt to make the marriage work was scorned by Pst Chris until the marriage broke down irretrievably. Pst Chris took his husband duties outside the matrimonial home and for many years deceived the world that the marriage works. MOG cannot live with his family but instead visits the UK and stay in hotels when you have a beautiful wife, daughters and even nice house? So be objective, on whose account was the marriage vows broken? Or have you got an allegation against her other than according to Pst Chris she is allegedly 'bitter, doesn't know what it takes to be a wife of a top preacher, has friends advising her and she is a carnal christian'. Infact he didnt notice this at the beginning just because she had resources from her wealthy father. So why should Pst Anita put her life and ministry at stake by living a life of lie to the world thar there is a subsisting marriage just to please people like you? CE church has no respect for marriage and family values on which the church of Christ is to be built. A lot of Senior pastors including CEC currently have broken homes but no one knows for material reasons; all Pst Chris siblings have gone through divorce, a lot of church staff provide 'extra marital relief' if you know what I mean. I won't say much more on this because everyone can see it but they kept quiet. On the issue of Pst Anita not sleeping with any man...this makes me laugh because you are so carnal to think of her that way. If you are a man, then your likes think women are merchandise and are comfortable to abuse your women even deny them sex in marriage. If Pst Chris can cool off in and out of marriage then why try to restrain Pst Anita (even though I know from years of acquaintance she is not the type)? If she wishes to remarry why would she not when Pst Chris has obviously moved on to several? I am sorry but please don't try to judge our dear Pst Anita. You and your likes thinks Pst Anita can be bullied on social media; but I dare you to go to the UK and see whether you will not be disgraced. Pst Anita is a lot stronger than you all thought and she will surprise you all soon...watch this space very soon... Lastly on CE church separating husband and wife. Note this happens in isolated cases when the pastor husband wants to get freedom to 'roam or exploit' the world. I know senior pastors in CE who cannot do anything without telling their wives. They cannot even travel without prior consent from their spouses. So thanks for the advise, those who are indulging will find it very useful. On a parting note, it would be really useful if you get some audience from Pst Chris and admonish him to change his ways and return to his first love. Who knows whether his ex wife could be restored back to him (like Pst Benny Hinn) before it is too late. Thank you sir or ma.

Whatever it is, there is room forgiveness. She will rather look to God rather than man. Divorcing does not give her room for marriage. Any thing she does whether remarrying or sex. Is counted as a sin until death makes apart

Those who are telling her to go back to her husband, please where do you want her to fit in? Are you sure there is a place for her there? Did you hear her say she lived like a single mother for many years? Where does this happen? A supposed married woman living like a single woman. Please sit back and think very well before you rant. I was hinted by someone who knows about what happened. I was gobsmacked! If you people get to know a little of what happened here, you will get mad at the woman for staying this long. In fact she deserves an award ' the most enduring wife' . I pray those abusing her will get to know what really happen. Anita my dear sister, don't ever return to your vomit. Keep moving....!

Pst Kelvin
Hi Pst Anita, I am not really happy concerning what is happening between u and Pst Chris because both of u are role model to many of us in the Christian faith and u should understand this fact no matter what is happening in Ur marriage, u must be patient in it and take it to God in prayers, pls I want u to understand that all this people that are encouraging u for divorce are not doing u well, they are all agent of darkness that want to u into darkness. Thank God u are a pastor and u know God's word more than I do why are u divorcing ur husband and God warns us that He hate divorce and Jesus also said that it is not good for any man to put away his wife and likewise the woman. I want u to know that we all are pilgrims here on earth, we have a place that have been prepared for us. Pls Anita I will want to see u in that place on the last day. The only way it is going to be possible is for u to go back to ue husband or u will remain unmarried and u will not sleep with any man unrill u depart this world. Thank u. Pls I want to use this medium to advice all Christ embassy members to please talk to their head the issue of church separating husband and a wife to live apart is not Godly it will encouraging unfaithfulness, adultery, cheat etc among the couples God said for this reason a man and a woman should live their both parents and Clive together and they two shall become one, but CE is against it . until they stop it the issue their pastors committing adultery and fornication will not stop. Pst Anita pls think about what I said for heavens sake cos that is our ultimate goal in life. May God bless and uphold u to take the right decision that will keep Ur faith and that of others that u mentor in Jesus name. Amen
F
Felix
Pst Anita, thank you for allowing comments which do not favor you in this matter as well. That makes the blog real and also makes you real. Those asking you to not tolerate contrary views should realize that it is the same phenomenon which made Christ embassy a place where people are bullied, because they won't tolerate any thing that disagrees with Pst Chris. The key an important thing Pst Anita is that you remain true to yourself and to God and have a good conscience.

We are all children of God and we know that God hates divorce so no need to be condescending to anyone here. You can be assured that Pst Anita did not go into this marriage anticipating divorce; in fact she had great expectations until she found unrequited love, lies, infidelity, materialism from her life partner. Do you know how much heartbreak this woman had gone through in last 16-17 years? All mentioned above in your view may not be enough to justify divorce proceedings, but all Pst Anita's demand and attempt to make the marriage work was scorned by Pst Chris until the marriage broke down irretrievably. Pst Chris took his husband duties outside the matrimonial home and for many years deceived the world that the marriage works. MOG cannot live with his family but instead visits the UK and stay in hotels when you have a beautiful wife, daughters and even nice house? So be objective, on whose account was the marriage vows broken? Or have you got an allegation against her other than according to Pst Chris she is allegedly 'bitter, doesn't know what it takes to be a wife of a top preacher, has friends advising her and she is a carnal christian'. Infact he didnt notice this at the beginning just because she had resources from her wealthy father. So why should Pst Anita put her life and ministry at stake by living a life of lie to the world that there is a subsisting marriage just to please people like you? CE church has no respect for marriage and family values on which the church of Christ is to be built. A lot of Senior pastors including CEC currently have broken homes but no one knows for material reasons; all Pst Chris siblings have gone through divorce, a lot of church staff provide 'extra marital relief' if you know what I mean. I won't say much more on this because everyone can see it but they kept quiet. On the issue of Pst Anita not sleeping with any man...this makes me laugh because you are so carnal to think of her that way. If you are a man, then your likes think women are merchandise and are comfortable to abuse your women even deny them sex in marriage. If Pst Chris can cool off in and out of marriage then why try to restrain Pst Anita (even though I know from years of acquaintance she is not the type)? If she wishes to remarry why would she not when Pst Chris has obviously moved on to several? I am sorry but please don't try to judge our dear Pst Anita. You and your likes thinks Pst Anita can be bullied on social media; but I dare you to go to the UK and see whether you will not be disgraced. Pst Anita is a lot stronger than you all thought and she will surprise you all soon...watch this space very soon... Lastly on CE church separating husband and wife. Note this happens in isolated cases when the pastor husband wants to get freedom to 'roam or exploit' the world. I know senior pastors in CE who cannot do anything without telling their wives. They cannot even travel without prior consent from their spouses. So thanks for the advise, those who are indulging will find it very useful. On a parting note, it would be really useful if you get some audience from Pst Chris and admonish him to change his ways and return to his first love. Who knows whether his ex wife could be restored back to him (like Pst Benny Hinn) before it is too late. Thank you sir or ma.

Its amazing how people can clearly see a loving & sincere person yet still rain abuses. The fact that the woman of God allows pple to clearly air their views without editing the unpleasant ones should show you plainly that She has nothing to hide! THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS RESPECT HER BLOG!!! Her integrity is unbeatable. Through her testimony, my eyes have been opened to see that even THE ANOINTED can be SELFISH & WICKED to other pple. And the gift of God will still remain. Infact He remains merciful. The anointed still lie, manipulate, bully pple. (BUT TO A SPOUSE? IT BEATS MY IMAGINATION) However, we should forgive them. But that is not the same thing as REMAINING IN THE SAME FRUSTRATING CONDITIONS. IF they still refuse to change, please help youself. For one's sanity, seperation is the way of escape. It will help the healing process. Woman of God, your wisdom increases from glory to glory. It will never leave you!!! You tried your best. 16 years is not 16 days. And GOD Himself who instituted marriage & saw all you did to make it work & how terribly you were hurt, He will stand by you. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Daddy God,thank you for your precious word.For now i can see why you said "put on the whole armor of God...".I never thought the devil can use the "children of God" to throw his fiery darts(hateful speech) at another beloved child of God. Promise & Olaking,who died and made you GOD?! Jesus said THE WORLD will know that YOU ARE TRULY HIS disciples because YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER!! Again the word says " Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, YOU WHO LIVE BY THE SPIRIT should RESTORE that person GENTLY. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted."(Galatians 6:1 NIV). Pastor Anita,please know that while others are bashing you on this unfortunate situation,there are others who love and pray for you.When you hurt,we hurt.I believe something sweet will come out of this unfortunate situation(Judges 14:14). You're such a blessing to me Pastor Anita,stay strong woman of God:) in this hour.

By allowing such pedestrian comments on her blog shows the kind of person Pastor Anita is. This is something the ex-husband can't dare or else, he will have the embarrassment of his life, with the way the world truly sees him. He can accommodate comments only on his platforms like Yookos, so, they can moderate, control and delete unfavourable comments. But some miscreants like a certain Promise (or whatever the name is), could still have their comments posted, contrary to what his/her lord and saviour, Pastor Chris would do. That tells us one thing....humility. That said, I'm yet to see where God said divorce was a sin in the bible according to some people's comments here. The only place the bible says God hates separation in the bible is the Malachi 2:16 everyone is quoting. Yet, they forgot there is a verse 15 before 16, that states, ''Therefore, take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.'' If you humans have made divorce a sin, how come you refused to make telling lies a sin? After all, lie is the foundation of sin; a tool that devil has been using ever before there was anything called divorce. Lie was what caused the problems between Satan and God; and between man and Satan and God.. Yet, this tool, hated by God and by man, is what Pastor Chris uses.I have said that gullibility and hypocrisy are the problem of the African! Someone even said that Christ Embassy has been growing in leaps and in bounds since Pastor Anita departed....another lie and propaganda from the pit of hell! As much as I don't think that should be any business of Pastor Anita, I can show you with evidence, how false that claim is. The crusades done in Lagos and Abuja over the weekend was a show of shame, very much unlike Christ Embassy of those days. Abuja barely recorded 3,000 (I have pictures taken at about 1.30 a.m to show for it). Lagos recorded a little higher than that. But you know what? The reports will state that millions of people were in attendance. Again, lies and always lies. The two things that convinced me that Christ Embassy was a cesspool of iniquity, was the adoption of lies as official language and the love for money more than life itself. LIES---------the tool of the devil MONEY----the root of all evil Now, tell me, why should anybody still require a prophet to tell him/her what this church is? A Synagogue of Satan..

Jephtah & Lovena, you must really consider yourself "spiritual" to make such assertions. I guess the issue is not "too high for your judgement". I just wish you were not COWARDS & you have same enfontry to address the poor marital conduct of our dear moG! But of course you cant. I wish you had any integrity at all to declare the word & judgement to the one who actually DIVORCED THE WIFE OF HIS YOUTH FOR 16 YEARS & spiritualized it with "ministry". She only made official a dillema he happily orchestrated!!! Rubbish threats like yours have no place in us who have entered into the liberty of God's sons. There is no bondage or darkness in God. Nor fear of condemnation. Nor subjection to abuse! DIVORCE IS SCRIPTURALLY PERMITTED!!! Cowards, if you truly have the Spirit of God, you will not seek to intimidate the abused, rather you will confront the anointed abuser.

I can stay with my wife for eternity without her seeking for divorce. Reason is I love my wife. Majority of divorce comes from us men. Just believe this. I recently got a good job that required me to leave my family but declined it as this will certainly be the beginning of breaking my home. My kids enjoy me because I am a good dad. In my very busy period I make time to pray together with my family. Without physical contact your marriage is finished. Money is not everything. Of course sometimes there are issues but I am very mature to know when to say sorry and I love you. Simple things work in life. People claim to be big MOG but cannot say 'sorry'. You must learn to live by Jesus example. He washed people's feet. He dined with a sinner, he took care of a prostitute . He brought himself so low so that we can be saved. Once you understand a woman you can live with them forever. They need constant care and love. Many of them are not evil. My advise to men. Have physical contact with your wife. Do not feel too big to say I am sorry, I love you e.t.c. Get close to your children. Forget adultery.

Good day Pst Anita. Thanks a million for this opportunity. Personally, I wanna say kudos for your courage and strength. I imagine how you agreed to stay thousands of miles apart for years as a married woman. In fact, as a member, this has been a "doctrine" I never believed in. Sincerely, millions all over the world look up to you and pst Chris as role models. A lot went through my mind as a result of this episode. For instance, I felt, for this great woman of God who wrote one of my favourite books "don't pack your bags yet" to walk out, then it must have become really mind boggling. Yes, I believe in prayers and I don't support divorce but d question is- must a partner die in a marriage because God abhors divorce? I know of a lady who passed through hell in her marriage till she passed on all in the name of divorce isn't allowed! To crown it all, the way and manner Pastor publicly addressed the issue( a man of God's wife must not necessarily be a woman of God, Anita nurses anger etc) to me was so pissing to say the least. Who ordained pst Anita? Must she be publicly humiliated? I have had course to disagree a lot of times with co-members. How will someone we all refer to as mama, 1st lady now suddenly become " a so-called unbeliever"? For me, I strongly believe that if mama had opened up, a lot more harm would have been done to d body of Christ. For this, i wanna say tnx . Summarily, let's pray for this family instead of castigating(mainly pst.Anita). God is a God of possibilities as He has done it before as in the case of Daddy Benny Hinn.

@ Lovena, do you then mean it's ok for me to go get more husbands or wives or concubines? Or better yet, should I kill someone? From your comment it appears God hates divorce more than lying, killing or adultery. How do you know none of the concubines or wives left David? Were you there or if you found it in the Bible please share scripture and verse. Nobody is saying divorce is good or that God likes it but like Pastor Chris once said you do not know how you will react until you are forced into a particular situation. The same way God says don't divorce, He says don't lie, don't bear false witness, don't kill, don't judge etc. But many are quick to be judge and jury. Leave both Pastor Chris and Pastor Anita alone - you are not wearing their shoes so you can't judge. Better still let him who is without sin cast the first stone! I wonder how many people on this platform can say they are without sin yet they know that God hates divorce. As you judge so you will be judged - everyone should remember that.

What culture do we follow, Europe or our Biblical forefathers, David killed took a man's wife, killed him. But none of His wives or Concubines threatens to divorce him why, God hates divorce. Dear Pastor Ma Let God's word guide you Ma. Divorce is not of God. It is satanic

God bless you jubillee boy. I have heard pastor Anita so many times praise her former husband from the pulpit. All these years she never talked about her former husband in a bad way. How gracious is that, even though she was knew what she was going through. It must have been tough to keep singing the praises of someone that hurts you so badly. I for one I do not think I can do it, talk less of doing it for so long. It was therefore a shock to all when she announced her breakup. The usual PC denied this for so long even in the face of staggering reality. There is no point to live a lie. God hates that too. The breakup of this marriage was inevitable. The hand writing was on the wall for do long but die hard fans of pastor Chris failed to see. How many times was thier a program in UK and PC will be holed up in one hotel and the wife in another. The first ministry that God constituted was marriage and God did not intend that to conflict with the work he has given us. Marriage is fun, having a friend, a partner, someone you can confide in, and together should be a Spirit filled union bound in love. A Marriage across the ocean will open up all sorts for the devil to play. Sadly this ended in a divorce but one thing is sure the word of God is matching on, no matter what anyone says, and God does not see the way man sees.

Deji
A person that says his wife is a carnal Christian must look at himself. No doubt he must be carnal to have joined himself to a carnal partner. Bitter water and sweet water does not mix together. So I am wondering why some are saying dilly things here. Have they said the same to PC?. At least it takes two to tangle. Thank you pastor Anita for standing on the truth a refusing to live a lie!

Pst Ehis
Shalom, i am not the type that usually comment on issues in this blog but I deemed it necessary to write today because of the way some people have been bashing this beautiful woman who stood with her ex for so many years both in the ministry and home before the seemingly unpleasant situation which I wasn't necessary surprised to see happened, I think it's only those who are spiritually blind seem to be amazed by this situation that seem to shocked whole lot of folks out there- a situation I think many can never get over in their life time. Haven said that, I want to point out some issue here to those who care to listen but before then, I want to say thank you to Rev. Anita for this blog, she never block no one regardless whatever they might have said against her, unlike some platform that only post people comments base on what they want to hear. Thank you rev Anita. Now to my point, I think it is God and the both parties who really knows what led to the divorce for which I am still praying that God have His way but there are some things we should really look into in regard the teaching of pastor Chris at least even if one can not deeply interpret the scriptures but any one who have the Holy Spirit living in him or her, who at least knows how to read knows what the Bible says literally. As for me I think whole lot of things are wrong with pastor Chris teaching, I used to listened to him, read most of his ministry materials but during those times I always sensed in my spirit that something was wrong with most of the words I heard pastor Chris said just that I couldn't placed it until I started asking God to open my eyes and help me know the truth which He really did after sometime. When God started opening my eyes, it was a blow to me because I thought it was the devil speaking to me because of the love I had for pastor chris. The first thing God started showing me was seeing the light going off whenever pastor is preaching, sudden darkness in the church especially around him, a revelation I reported to them several times but what they did with it was totally theirs... then after that God gave me the shocked of my life when He told me to stop listening to pastor Chris if I really want the truth- it took me some time of struggle before I could yield to it because I had his channel on all of my gadgets, picking anyone of them then it was pastor Chris if you know what i mean but my deliverance from whether spell I will call it finally came when I heard about their divorce issue, in fact the news caster who broke the news then received the greatest insult and abused of her life. You see, one major thing that surprised me then was whenever they ask any of the pastor Chris associates about the news of the divorce they all denied it and told everyone to treats it as rumors that everything was perfectly ok between the couple which leave me with one question now of whether they weren't aware of what was going on then or they just decided to be obviously lying to those who have been spending their hard earned money in supporting them in the ministry? However, I want to point out some questions that have been bothering me over the years, I want to point out these questions so if it could get some people who really need deliverance to see the need of answering the question themselves. 1. We all knows that the Bible says that man is the head of the house, so during those times that people were sowing the seed of bitterness into pastor Anita according to pastor Chris, where was pastor Chris? 2.He taught those who have been listening to him that it was the fear of Job in the Bible that finally resulted to his calamity for I know better now that that isn't true, if it's then does it mean that pastor Chris has envisaged the issue of this divorce at one point or the other before it finally happened? 3. His teaching is base on creating one's world with the mouth, faith confession which is not of God if it happens to be the object of one's faith, does it mean he didn't apply the same principle before his marriage finally hits the rock? 4. He has taught that there's no one he will meet that he will not love, that no one speak ill of anyone before him because to him everyone is nice as he sees things from a very high spiritual altitude, if this is true why the demeaning and Humiliation he humiliated the same woman who have supported him over the years, where was the love he once loved this beautiful and gorgeous woman because I know if she is not gorgeous I don't think they will get married in the first place? 5. Before the marriage, does it mean that God didn't speak to him and if He does then why all the Humiliation to the same wife that God gave to him? 6. When he finally spoke up about the marriage after some time of silence, he told the church to pray for Anita not even with the respect of pastor or Rev Anita regardless, why Anita? This got me upset to my bone morrow, your home was tearing apart even if it was the woman who was at fault, I think what he should have told the church was to pray for his home instead he said Anita which means that it was only her that needed the prayers,because him as a pastor doesn't need any prayer perhaps he is our Lord Jesus himself who doesn't need prayers but we all know that no matter how spiritual any one may claim that he or she still need people's prayers- self righteousness indeed! 7. He said man of God can not sin or commit sin, really? This got me wondering as to the kind of bible they uses in CE, all the characters in the Bible were they not men and women of God. Which one among them who doesn't at one point sin against and then repented and asked God for forgiveness? 8. Why are members scared to ask questions in the church even when you write it won't be addressed if it seem to talk what they don't want to hear? 9. Where is it written in the Bible that salvation is tied to tithes? 10. If the woman wasn't called by God why did he ordained her as pastor. 11. When a man get married to a woman are they not suppose to be one flesh and no more two? 12. How did he intend to meet to the need of his wife when the both of them was living far apart from each other? A big lesson for anyone who want his or her marriage to succeed. These are questions and some many more that have been running through my mind. Now let me try to say something here! Do not separate from your wife for so long because nothing is meant to put asunder to the union of marriage because the devil is fighting seriously against the union of marriage because he has a lot to achieve when he finally succeed in breaking it. Now, I want every one who care to listen to know that grace revolution, faith confession and antinomianism message which is the center massage of pastor Chris is not of God, it's new age religion message and that Christian don't sin because it was believers John was talking to in 1john 1:9, but when one decide to live in denial of the reality of sin whether as a Christian or non-Christian, sooner or later not only will you start dealing with the consequences but you will start seeing the effect of living in denial because un-confessed sin is unforgiven sin. We really need to keep praying for pastor chris for his eyes to be open to the unscriptural error he has been teaching because something is definitely wrong when one's life contradict his or her teachings. And as for those who is bashing this woman, if you have nothing to say you better be quiet because I still don't believe there should be anyone who really knows pastor chris than his ex, you must never forget that this woman lived with him for years and I wonder how will anyone compare someone who must have seen things with those who only choose to believe what they were told to believe. Anything you are not comfortable with go to God in prayers, just ask Jesus to show you the truth and if you are really sincere without any preconceived idea I guarantee you that Jesus will definitely appear to you and answer every questions you ask Him because He want us all to make heaven if really we are ready. The message we need in this generation is the message of the cross. May God help His children from falsehood in the mighty name of Jesus. God bless you all.

I came across this article by Jack Wellman regarding divorce and re-marriage. God is merciful and kind, his grace is beyond our imagination. The message below on divorce in my view is closest to God's mind on this subject. What Does the Bible Teach About Divorce and Remarriage? (Article by Jack Wellman) http://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/what-does-the-bible-teach-about-divorce-and-remarriage/ Does the Bible Address the Issue of Divorce? God performed the first marriage ceremony between Adam and Eve, therefore we can say with assurance that God loves marriage and that it is a divine institution (Gen. 2:18-24). God also hates divorce and says so many times in the scriptures (Malachi 2:16). Jesus said the only reason that divorce was permitted was because of the hardness of human’s hearts but this was not done in the beginning (Matt. 19:8). If a husband’s or wife’s mate leave them, then they can not be held responsible for the marriage and some believe that Paul says that they are not bound by the law (I Cor. 7:15) because he uses the same Greek word for “bound” when referring to a spouse being bound to their mate. Clearly, God reveals throughout the Bible that He hates divorce and that husband and wife were intended to marry for life. Separation is permissible where spousal abuse occurs or where children are endangered by one of the parties because the higher moral law is to protect children and, in most cases, women from abusive husbands and fathers. It should be noted that some men had to separate from their wives because of spousal abuse too. What the Bible teaches is that divorce is the high exception to the rule and it should always be the very last resort in any marriage and reconciliation and restoration of a good marital relationship should always be the highest purpose for those who are separated. God hates divorce because of what it does to the family which is society’s support system. Divorce is also very harmful to children in almost every case, again with the exception of where abuse is occurring. Where ongoing, unrepentant adultery is occurring, divorce is allowed as Jesus taught. What Does The Bible Say About Marrying After Divorce….and is it Adultery If You Do? Generally speaking the Bible teaches that it is unlawful to marry again after a divorce. Even if a single person who marries a divorced person, it is called adultery (Duet.24:4). Divorcing someone is not considered adultery but Jesus did say in Matthew 5:32 that “… anyone who divorces his wife [or husband I would add], except for sexual immorality, makes her [or him] the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman [or man] commits adultery.” But then again, even looking at another person with lust in their hearts is also considered adultery (Matt 5:28). However it is important to remember that it may be the best course of action where the unfaithful spouse refused to repent of their adulterous affair. Each case must be looked at in particular and not all divorces and remarriages can be considered in the same way since circumstances may be different. If you remarry after your spouse was unfaithful, this is an extenuating circumstance and God would not condemn anyone for this. Paul would says that for the unmarried it is better not to marry and to the widows and unmarried, he thinks it best not to remarry but not everyone can handle being single because if they are continually tempted sexually, then its better to marry than to burn with passion (1 Cor. 7:8-9). Others were married and divorced before they became a Christian and after being born-again and so since they remarried before becoming a Christian, there is nothing that they can do about that and God does not condemn such people. Besides, there are no sins that are not covered by the blood of Christ upon professing Him as Lord and Savior. Christians who know other people that are not saved or other Christians who have been divorced and remarried should be forgiving and not judgmental. They may not know all of the circumstances but even if it was not permitted, every one of us have sinned and will continue to sin until the day our Lord comes for us. God hates divorce but He still loves divorced people. Fornication is not the same thing as adultery. Fornication is having sexual relationships between unmarried people but fornication is still strictly forbidden by God. Sexual abstinence is commanded before marriage, but after marriage, God wants the husband and wife to enjoy sex because that is the primary reason that He created it. Are There Exceptions to Being Able to Remarry After a Divorce? Some of the exceptions have already been mentioned. An important point is that even if you become a Christian and are married to a non-believer, you have no excuse to divorce them. The Bible does not teach such a thing and if the unbelieving spouse is willing to remain married to the believer, then by all means they should stay married and clearly, no divorce is permitted. In fact, many unbelieving spouses have been brought to Christ through the loving example of Christ in the believing spouse’s life (1 Cor. 7:12-14). God may have placed you with the unbelieving spouse expressly for the purpose of helping them come to Christ in faith. In this case, divorcing from them might have proven tragic. Certainly, no believer should ever marry an unbeliever because that is to be unequally yoked (2 Cor 6:14). God does allow for remarriage too in the case of a spouse’s death but that the person you are marrying must be a Christian (1 Cor. 7:39). Paul would suggest that they would be of better service to God if they remained single, as he was, but some people who have greater sexual drives may not be able to handle this (1 Cor. 7:32-36). Paul’s greatest teachings about marriage, remarriage, and divorce are covered in 1 Corinthians chapter seven. He says that whatever state you were in when you became a believer is the most desirable state to remain in (1 Cor. 7:17-24). Marriage is an honorable thing before God. It is a gift of God. We should esteem it very highly and as a divine institution. Read more: http://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/what-does-the-bible-teach-about-divorce-and-remarriage/#ixzz4A9clS8iJ

Good statement to clarify: Next: Ignore them....lies are fast....but fades quickly when truth catches up with it. It clearly shows how desperate they are to have you back, how much they have exploited you in the past and how deeply morally bankrupt they really want the world to believer. Hold your peace.

Hello ma, when I heard of the divorce... I cried my heart out in prayers to God. I went as far as to call a large team of intercessors to pray for the marriage reconsilation. After waiting on God for months without answers, I ended my prayers. Only for My Father in Heaven to reveal to me in the dream of the night one year later the reason for the divorce and told me not to pray further. I love you ma so much and pray that God heals your inner most emotions in His best way.

Thanks fir the info
I don’t blame you
He or she who wears the shoes knows where it is aching
Even before your divorce it was evident you were a dingle parent that brought the children up by the power of Holy Ghost
People knew the truth ( the big elephant in the room) but they
Were afraid to speak up and rather mask the shit with white wash
Let’s leave all to God who is the judge

I read some post here and i wonder if people have been brain washed or something. Pls let us lean to serve God and not man. On the judgement day all men will appear before God and give account. It doesn't matter your position here on earth, and the truth is you cannot do more than what the early disciples of Christ did, these disciples gave their all, including their lives to preach the gospel even up to places where the gospel is forbidden, how many of our today pastors and GO can go this far, all i see nowadays are people who wants others to look up to them as saviour, i pity these followers.
I see no genuine reason why a man will keep away from his wife, even to the point that when he is around, he prefers to stay in hotel, this is absolutely difficult to understand, why would your wife be kept in total darkness about your daily activity. The truth is YOU CANNOT DO MORE THAT WHAT THE EARLY DISCIPLES HAD ALREADY ONE.

Exalting a man above God is a sin. A reference to David in the bible ,a man after God's heart still committed adultery. Brainwashed generation of church folks. I am proud of you pastor Anita ,God knows it all. Stay blessed and focus on your purpose of which you where created to do by God ,the all knowing.
