"I Am Not A Preacher...but A Man Of God" - Oyakhilome by semasir: 10:28pm On Apr 07, 2015
According to
the Daily Post,
Oyakhilome
described the
allegations
levelled against
him as “crazy”
and “stupid”
and urged his
church
members to
pray for his
estranged wife
while speaking
on Sunday evening during the monthly global
communion service of the church.

Oyakhilome, who appeared visibly disturbed during
his first few minutes on stage, acknowledged that
divorce is un-Biblical but suggested he could
consider the option should his wife insist on it.
“I heard that some media houses– especially in
Nigeria, are writing some things against me. All
sorts of frivolous charges, that’s crazy.
“You have to understand something about a man of
God. A man of God is not just someone who
worships God or preaches God. A man of God is
handpicked by God, set on course by God. If you
study the scriptures, you will not find one man of
God go against God, sinning against God.

“The only thing you might find will be a man of
God, maybe in two different kinds of ways. Moses,
for example, when he struck the rock twice, he was
provoked by the anger of the people. It was not
because he wanted to do something against the
Lord. No man of God does something against the
Lord.
“Are you hearing me? A man of God is set on a
course; there is a type of life that he is given. Then
you have a young man, a young prophet; he wasn’t
named; he was deceived by another man of God
and so he went in a direction that God said ‘don’t
go’.

“That is the only kind of thing you 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
settles himself in the fight against the world… like
those writing those stupid things about me, that I did this and I did that.
“You don’t know who a man of God is. I don’t go in
that direction. I wasn’t accused of the things you
said, nor did I commit those stupid things that you
said and I don’t need to go into that level in such
discussions”.

He recalled that Jesus passed through similar
travails and eventually overcame.
He said that although so many people were making
mockery of him, he would remain steadfast and not
lose focus.
“Jesus Christ was accused by many– a lot of
frivolous charges. There will always be those who
would like for it to be true. But you know, in spite of
the accusations against Jesus, It didn’t change who
he was. It didn’t change him.

“There are preachers and there are men of God. I am not a preacher; I am a man of God and I go in
the way I’m asked to go. It may cause some
troubles with individuals but that’s not because I have done something wrong and when it comes to
Reverend Anita, what I will say to you is ‘pray for
her’.
“Don’t act like those people. If you are married to a
man of God, it doesn’t make you automatically
mature. You can make mistakes; you can do
something that is wrong. But some 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 expectation may be like that, but it’s a
positional thing.

“If a man of God is married, it doesn’t automatically
mean that the wife of a 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 the wives of men of
God mentioned in the Bible. How many of them?
Who was Peter’s wife, did you ever know her name?
You never find that 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 find their names” , he added.


At this point, one of the female pastors sought to
know why the names of wives of the men of God
were not found in the Bible.
Oyakhilome’s response was that she should ask
God whenever she finds him.
‘“Why? You ask God when you find him. Ask God
when you find him”, he exclaimed.
“So, they are little things; don’t try to make
something big out of them. So when journeying,
doing the things that God 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 they have to make things right
and we shouldn’t take one another to court. But
when it happens, not that we don’t just want to go,
it means someone is taking us there.
“That’s a problem, but 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…
“There are Christians who like things like this; they
want to make something big out of this: ‘Yeah,
yeah, yeah, we said it’. You said what? Judge
nothing before the time. Be wise. Glory to God.

“So we are not working in sin and living in sin and
hoping that we can mix sin and righteousness
together. We are the manifestation of his
righteousness. We walk in that light only, and that’s
the way it’s gonna be”.
In April 2014, 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 couple have meanwhile decided to share
custody of their children. Sharon, the eldest,
prefers Pastor Chris, while Charlene is presently
with Anita.
