1. Christian Oyakhilome was born on December 7, 1961 to the family of Elder T.E Oyakhilome who was one of the pioneers of the Assemblies of God Church (AG) in Benin City and major parts of the old Mid-Western Region of Nigeria. He is an Esan from Edo State. 2. Chris Oyakhilome conducted his first crusade at the age of 9. 3. On completion of his secondary education at the Edo College, Benin City, he spent his vacation as a bookstore attendant, selling books at the reknowned Faith Miracle Centre opposite Benin Airport pastored by Rev Benson Idahosa of the Church of God Missions Int’l Incorporated (CGMI). 4. He got admitted into the old Bendel State University established by late Governor Ambrose Alli (now Ambrose Alli University) when it was established in 1981 and studied Architecture. 5. As an undergraduate, he established a fellowship known as Youths For Christ (YFC), notable among the leaders was another student, Tom Amenkhienan who was the leader of the choir. Anita Ebodaghe and her friend, Joy were members of the choir who soon married both Chris and Tom. YFC soon became one of the largest fellowships on Campus in Ekpoma. 6. By 1989, Chris Oyakhilome established the ministry known as Believers Loveworld inc (BLW) and named her church arm Christ Embassy with headquarters in Lagos. He got married to Anita on February 2nd 1991. 7. Six months before he passed on, Benson Idahosa told Chris Oyakhilome to invite him to a program in BLW before March 14th. Benson Idahosa died unexpectedly on March 12. 8. By 2002, BLW had become the most prominent Christian ministry on television in not just Nigeria but all over the African Continent with her Atmosphere for Miracles. Nigerian former President, Olusegun Obasanjo through the NBC in May 2004 stopped the airing of miracles on Television, an action that was largely seen by Pastor Chris as targeting Christ Embassy and subsequently took the matter to court. 9. Earlier in 2003, Pastor Chris pioneered the first 24 hour Christian satellite network broadcasting from Africa worldwide. 10. Christ Embassy is one of the 5 largest indigenously established 'Pentecostal' churches in Nigeria and perhaps Africa today however Pastor Chris does not agree with the appellation 'Pentecostal Church'? 11.

Pastor Chris has conducted some of the largest Christian crusades in the world till date. The Port Harcourt as well as the FNB Johannesburg crusades were said to have hosted crowds of about 2.5 million people according to Pastor Chris. 15. More than any ministry, Christ Embassy has touched the music scene of Christianity today producing gospel music ministers such as Sinach, Joe Praize, Samsong, Buchi, Jahdiel, Eben and Frank Edwards among many others. 16. Today, Christ Embassy has about 3,500 branches in about 5 continents of the world. 17. In 2011, Forbes Magazine alluded that Chris Oyakhilome is one of the richest pastors in the world. 18. Pastor Chris has 2 daughters named Sharon and Charlane. 19.

bigCassava: Pastor Chris's grand father had four brothers... One of them was the Founder of AG in Nigeria. This man prophesied concerning pastor Chris and watched over him from his birth until his teenage years as a Christian worker, ensuring that he walked in the path of his destiny. Pastor Chris' grand dad was his first convert... who also became a Pastor in AG. |

Where is the fact that he and Anita are divorced? Or is that not a fact worth knowing about him particularly as divorce is unbiblical? 1 Like 1 Share |

All these are old news Big Cassava known by many people, even I who am in Burkina Faso I know that. If it is to answer the one who gives the reasons why he left Chris Ambassy, it does not make the weight, because the man is not static, it can evolve in time in good as in evil. You have to accept criticism from time to time, it helps to change, to evolve, because no man is perfect, only God is perfection. Peace and love |

An2elect2:My dear, as a Redeemed Child of God, you shouldn't be saying this. Are you building the Church of God or are you scattering it? Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is a true man of God. He is not perfect just like everyone of us. Our Role model is Christ. Plz stop using his imperfections to judge him. I don't like when Christians bring each other down. It doesn't bring glory to God. Satan is happy when this happen. One day in Heaven, we will all look back at this division in the Body of Christ and laugh at our ignorance while on earth. You have known the truth about the Grace of God. Keep walking in that truth and unveil Christ and His Finished Work. Avoid getting distracted by all you see here. Satan is out to destroy the Church and who is he using to do his work? Fellow Believers!!! Keep on practicing the Presence of Jesus in your life and you won't have time for distractions. Have a great day my dear. 2 Likes |

jiggaz:Are you kidding me? How is calling a wolf a wolf scattering the church? Look at you!!! How can you not see that he is a fraud? A peddler of heresies, robber, divorcee, etc is a true man of God? I shake my head for you dear. How did you try him? Excuses!!! should i also excuse his failure to understand basic doctrines? LOL Our Role model is Christ. Plz stop using his imperfections to judge him. I don't like when Christians bring each other down. It doesn't bring glory to God. Satan is happy when this happen.Dear if I am bringing Christians down then may the wrath of God fall on me but guess what? It won't and never would because I know the Lord and I fear Him!!! I'm exposing broods of vipers, ministers of Satan who are the real scatterers! Oh that you may see!!! that these men are not God's. I thank my Lord that I once walked in darkness and like a fool followed every wind of doctrine and lacked discernment but God had mercy on me and through His word I've been brought to the light. Everything is so clear in Christ and I see the darkness upon multitudes everyday and I weep! Oh how can you say this? Jiggaz you need to know that we are in a time of apostasy: Mass departure from the faith! How can you be asleep and let criminals steal your soul. Yes I have and that is what I am doing Avoid getting distracted by all you see here.You totally don't get Satan is out to destroy the Church and who is he using to do his work? Fellow Believers!!!Like Chris Oyaks Keep on practicing the Presence of Jesus in your life and you won't have time for distractions.You mean I should keep practicing the presence of another Jesus who the devil has sold to deceive the whole world so that I don't get to expose his fraud? No thanks! Just like my Lord Jesus I would continue to call out ministers of darkness and expose their evil Thank you. |
