Why Rev. Anita Must Divorce Chris Oyakhilome- Founding Member

Pastor Chris and Rev. Anita’s divorce case might just go on
without a pause. A lot of people have been appealing to Rev. Anita to stop the
divorce proceeding and consider their followers and also their two young beautiful
daughters. Sadly when a magazine contacted her Lawyer, Stephen Goddard in UK,
he confirmed the incident and said, he is afraid the divorce proceeding must go
on. That’s even mild!

Rev. Anita’s friend and one of the church’s founding member in UK, Cyla Simpson has also taken to her Facebook page to shed more light on
the couple’s misunderstanding and why Rev. Anita must go ahead with the
divorce. Continue below;

Her lawyer’s words;

“It is with great sadness that our client, Pastor Anita
Oyakhilome, has come to the conclusion that her marriage to Pastor Christian
Oyakhilome has irretrievably broken down and regrettably there is no hope of
any reconciliation. We can confirm that Pastor Anita Oyakhilome has commenced
divorce proceedings in London as she resides in the UK.”

What her friend, Cyla Simpson wrote on her Facebook page;

“I am writing this to everyone with a heavy heart. It is
heart wrenching to see the way people are referring to Rev Anita and how
uncultured people are while talking. You don’t need to be derogatory or
condescending to express yourself no matter your level as a christian. First I would
join true Christians around the world to appeal to Rev Anita but would say
listen to God rather than man.

“I want to appeal to everyone to please pause and think deep
because whatever a man sow, he shall surely reap. This is like beating a child
like Ibo elders will say and still take the tears from the child. Take a step
aside and think. Is there a woman who will give up her home on flimsy excuse,
if no why are we so callous and insensitive in this matter. I am a married
woman and so are many reading this, or you have a mother, a sister or daughter.
If you are happy for them to go through whatever brought Rev Anita to this
level please continue with your judgemental approach towards her. And the God
of truth will visit everyone with same except if there was no cause. Amen!!!

“I have read some accusing her of money and power
motivation. PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE PASTOR ANITA I KNOW AS MOST OF YOU
YOUNG ONES IN NIGERIA DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN ENCOUNTER WITH HER. Rev Anita has
been my pastor for about 13 years now. I am one of the founding members of her
church and I have seen her grow a church from using all any available venue
while planting more churches in faith sending her best member out to start a
new church, from two churches in England has grown to churches in almost every
borough and cities. Rev Anita will see anyone and everyone regardless of your
status.

“If she ever kept you waiting, she will apologise profusely
throughout the meeting and make it good to you. Rev Anita without an office
will still counsel us even in her car on Wednesday night after church yet she
has 1hour 30mins drive back home with 2 young girls. For so long she was
driving a volkswagon golf until 2005 that we bought her a BMW X3 and she still
refused to drive it for many months until she was begged to use it so that we
can be blessed. She used the same car until 2010/2011 and the replacement she
had then is still what she used till her last day in church last year.

“We begged her to come around for us to celebrate her
birthday but she will still go into hiding. On her return the little song we
will do for her, she will return it to Rev Chris in thanksgiving. Any money you
give her she sends it straight to church account or Loveworld TV. If we ever
raise money for her birthday she ask us to go and use it for evangelism or send
it to Loveworld TV. When you give her any material thing, regardless of the
shop you purchased it, she will use it for you to see and thank you as long as
she sees you for the gift.

“At Christmas, while service was on up to 2013 christmas she
will give almost everyone in church gift. Foodstuff will be dropped at your
side as service. She will specially take care of the elderly, help you settle
down when you arrive in the country. No barren left without children as she
will make it her project until it happens. So how come people came up with this
terrible accusation. You accused her of being rude to some CEC members. Wow.
This is wicked. First for so long, she was the Vice President and others have
other positions. I thought husband and wife are one.

“She raised 2 girls in this society and the 2 girls are
admirable, humble, down-to-earth children. They are children not a reflection
of the home they grew. Pastor Chris was not around. He came to our church on
Fathers’ Day sometimes ago and he told us one of the daughters’ requested for
it as her birthday gift – how touching and how she treasures her dad’s
presence. She could ask for material thing but she asked for his presence and
we all are here judging them. I remember these girls will politely beg me to
allow them carry my baby and they will play with him and when they bring him
back, they will thank me for letting them carry him and I’m surprised because I
should thank them for helping me. And they do same to other mothers in the
mothers’ area where we sit in church. Is it not what they saw their mum do,
they are not class-freak.

“I remember that visit of Pastor, Rev Tom talking said we
may not value what we have. That she is the grace in the CEC. If they all
condemn someone, she will see a good reason to embrace the person and she has
always been right. Rev Chris said at one IPPC that most changes we see here in
the ministry, she in her simple way brought them and that was the day he spoke
about how she talked about the effort we put into publicity of programme but
that same or more should be put in telling what the Lord did in that programme
when its over. So what changed now, because she is asking for a change.

“I have read all the messages here by some writers, the news
is all over our church and I have taken my time to find out what is really
happening and to the much available, below are the things Rev Anita is asking
for:

She told Rev Chris that you are such an organised person,
you give us almost a full year calendar on Dec 31st of every year, please put
the family in the timetable too. The times you don’t have any engagement,
please come home. I need you and the children need you. Please bear in mind she
has been here since 1999 and she was just about 30 years old then as a married
woman with 2 children. So for almost 16 years of her marriage, no husband at home
for straight 1 week, no dad at home for the children. No christmas, yet he has
party with the staff that we all watch at Christmas. Even Jesus always withdrew
from the crowd to fellowship with his father.

– She asked Rev Chris that on hearing of the immorality,
‘not holding it against you but let all these ladies move out of White House
and go and get houses outside. They are rich enough to buy houses at their
place of choice if they don’t already have one and allow them marry. Who
benefits from this choice, is it not everyone? So which is her offence in this.
And Rev Chris did not agree to it. The brothers even said they went to have
meeting with him in South Africa to beg him to at least meet her half-way but
he refused. 2 public responses are the emergency Bible study after their
meeting with him titled – Spirit of Error and Spirit of Truth, please flash
back at this meeting or relisten to it and after so much call in the UK for him
to produce our mother, he had meeting with our pastors and deacons in May and
it is recorded that many left the meeting weeping for the way he described our
mother that some have had lifetime experience with.”
