Well i dey tell una until Nigerian take strong actions on those gullible pastors/politician then will an average Nigerian be able to stand up tall to fight corruption and help the country move forward in a logical manner. With all this churches and mosque been built and pastors/imam getting richer the people will not be able to think there will be more loot, more bombing and more disaster for truly God is not in support of evil. The God i know serve in justice and heed to those who are able to stand for themselves not those who sit with their leg wild open hoping for miracle.

[b]Its not a surprise anyway,
this is not 'touch not my annoited' or thou shall not judge, he actually briefed the church by himself.thats enough evidence.

But what is more of concern is that is he really qualified to be an oveerseer (Bishop,pastor,Deacon)?
lets aknowledge these first,below;

Galatians 6:7-9
New King James Version (NKJV)
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for[size=14pt] whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.[/size] 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Do people really knew that the position of AN OVERSEER;(Bishop,pastor,Deacon) is not automatic?

how do i mean?
there are christian rules that demands that 'one gunning for the position' must be tested first to meet some strict requirements, read below;

now lets see how early christians operate during the apostles,

overseers are appointed by team of apostles and older men, there is no mention of women,and i challenge anybody to show bible account that says anything as deaconess leading the church,...nowhere,
lets see the requirements below,

1 Timothy 3 :1-13;
New King James Version

Qualifications of Overseers

1, This is a faithful saying: [size=14pt]If a man desires the position of a bishop[/size],[a] he desires a good work. [size=14pt]2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;[/size] 3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,[b] but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; [size=16pt]4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)[/size]; 6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Qualifications of Deacons

8 Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, 9 holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. [size=18pt]10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.[/size] 11 Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

emphasis on verses 4 and 10 below;pls read it from your own bible first before you comment,;


''4, one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?)''

10,But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless


honestly, if these above qualities were tested by teams of qualified men independently like the apostles,it is avoidable and will not put Gods name to shame, read further;vs 7,


''7 Moreover he must [size=16pt]have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach[/size] and the snare of the devil''.

verse 7 allows criticm from 'those outside the church' or non members testimony too as a fact.

now, how many people today really read these and meditate,why it is important is that if you must die for a faith,are you sure that you are doing it 'the way and standards set out in the bible'? or you worship 'papa' 'daddy' or'mummy' instead of God? replacing Gods word with prosperity?

remember that Adam was 'not deceived',you have all the time now to decide serving the true God,NOW.

thanks[/b]

Maybe she wasnt cooking/bleeping enough? Or she wasnt young enough, you know20-30 years younger. . . .or maybe she didn kneel down to greet him every morning, she could be too old to have his babies (you know given the prevalence or downsyndrome all of a sudden in Nigeria), It could also be because she questioned his authority, you don't do that when you are married to a Nigerian man ooo. He is the head of the household, everything he says goes. No matter how stewpid or moronic he is.

She didn't get the memo? She should have asked around someone will have given it to her.

LOL!

[i][/i] What God has joined together, let no man put assunder. Perhaps it wasn't God that joined them. How can a pastor be changing wives like selecting clothes? What a poor example he is setting for his church members!

All Okotie kept on praising about Stephanie was her beauty. He never talked about her Godly character. He really behaved in a worldy manner & was led by his eyes into the marriage. Guess what,even if u marry Miss World,the beauty will fade one day. Pastor Okotie,wake up & read ur bible more. Next time,pray before U leap & even if God leads U to the most hideous creature that ever walked on earth,accept it as God's will.

For a very lont time , I have been suspecting that okotie is gay. The maraiges might just me mariages of convenience for him just to keep up appearances. This could explain why the women keep walking away. I have no evidence though, just suspicions.

stagger: Matthew 5:32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Mark 10:12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

Luke 16:18 "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

The separation is of God. He should go back and reconcile with his first wife. If I were him, I would be thanking God for saving me from hell fire, because the bible clearly says that adulterers can NEVER go to heaven.

These are the pastors who give Christianity a very bad name. He had a wife whom he had known from his days on campus, yet he allowed the devil to ruin his marriage and then he thought he could break the law of God and get away with it. God can never be mocked.

Does Kris Okotie think that guys like Benny Hinn that did all they could to save their marriage are stupid?

What a complete trash! Where is Solomon now the wise man-hell or heaven? Where is Abraham the friend of God-hell or heaven? They were both polygamist who did not marry thier wives same day. So Adultery was involved. Where are they now?

Wherever they are, Okotie will join them there!

Hell fire my foot!
Re: Household Of God Pastor, Rev. Kris Okotie Separates from His Wife by Nobody: 4:55am On Jun 25, 2012
Let me ask you all something: how come after 2 marriages, pastor Okotie doesn't have a child? You all should stop laying blames on either party. It's their issue and they both know where it hurts. As for the above question I asked, I asked it so that some pple who are blaming the lady would think about that.
Re: Household Of God Pastor, Rev. Kris Okotie Separates from His Wife by Nobody: 4:59am On Jun 25, 2012
Honestly, there is nothing wrong in marrying wives as you pleased. If you have the heart and the means, just do it. There is nothing like hell fire anywhere.

Our pastor and aspirant president. I remember Okotie told us that God said he will be the president of FRN in 2003. Obasanjo responded then by saying, "no problem my pastor, but we will see if your God use to tell you the truth or not at the end of the election". What a funny pastor who uses the name of God to lie.

I am "Speechless". Pastor chris okotie divorcing again! During his brief musical career in the mid 80 's he was a pop icon as his music top the chart. He later embraced christianity taking the bull by the horn to be a pastor subsequently abandoning a successful musical career. Many music lover including my humbleself was disappointed over his sudden U-turn in his career. But that was his personal decision which we had to respect. In a nutshell, Pastor Chris had his fingers burnt when he attempted the presidency of Nigeria under fresh democratic party. It was obvious that he was a day dreamer who would go no where.I had the feeling that Pastor Chris would have made it in the political arena if he had limited himself to aspiring for the senate,house of rep or governor instead of wasting money on an office that seem too obvious that it is beyond his reach. Now maritally, he has failed with the news of his second marriage hitting the rocks. May the God Lord help him.

ZUBY77: i am sure this man has councilled thousands of people not to abandon their marriages whether the marriage is working or not. Enslaving many men and women in the name of God while he walks away from his own marriage whenever he wants. Hypo.

Leave this deceiving so-called MOGs', they find it very difficult to practice what they preach just like the Pharisees and Sadducees. Yet they expect u to do exactly as they say.
