PASTOR CHRIS WARNS MEMBERS AGAINST SPEAKING DIVORCE SCANDAL AND SUSPENDS FEMALE PASTOR

                                             
The founder of the Believers  Loveworld Ministries, also known as Christ Embassy, Chris Oyakhilome, on Sunday, enjoined his congregation to refrain from speaking against a man of God. The church also suspended Michelle Okojie, a pastor in Lagos, for her “subversive activities.

The reason for Ms. Okojie’s suspension was not given. At the church’s Sunday service, Mr. Oyakhilome described a man of God – as different from a preacher – as one who had been given a revelation from heaven.
“To speak against the man of God is to bring a curse on yourself and your children. When yo hear people speaking against a man of God, move away from there. “Men of God don’t just talk. When they speak, God is forced to move.” Sunday’s service was Mr. Oyakhilome’s first appearance to the Lagos branch since the news of his divorce broke last month, and he meticulously stayed away from discussing the saga. “
This is the first service of this nature and I don’t know what you are expecting, but you will be blessed. “It’s gonna be a short service but will be loaded,” Mr. Oyakhilome said. Though he was not physically present at the church’s headquarters in Lagos, he conducted the service via a telecast from the branch in Pretoria, South Africa. At the beginning of the service, the first moment the two large screens at the altar panned from choir to Mr. Oyakhilome, loud cheers erupted inside the capacity filled church in Lagos.
Ushers in dark suits and red ties motioned worshippers to their seats as the congregation sang along with a choir showing on the large screens. Outside, armed police officers and church security officials ensured that everyone coming into the church’s premises was screened by a metal detector.
A sign at the entrance warned worshippers that cameras are allowed into the church. Two Automated Teller Machines belonging to Parallex Micro Finance bank stood at a corner. The service began with the launching of the Loveworld News App, a software application platform where the church will be showing its activities from around the world. Mr. Oyakhilome, in a milk-coloured three-piece suit, sat in a panel comprising of three other pastors who took turns to share their experiences on the benefits of the App to church members. “It makes you aware of the things that are going on in the ministry
