donpata:

Where are d Catholics? I tot dey would flood here screaming "The Only True Church". Dem don go hide abi? Shebi Catholics do d same thing. Wedding Pregnant girls on pulpit. I dont even knw if pple still read their bibles or are even concernd about their spiritual growth. How can i keep attending a Church joining Divorcees together even when d bible clearly states Divorcees shouldnt marry unless d other partner is death becoz God HATES Divorce.

All diz new EndTime Churches would read d Word clearly but will claim d bible cannot b interpreted literally. Dey keep distorting meanings of d Word claiming God Ministerd to Dem.

I believe diz is a warning to Dis Business Churches and dat Big "Old True Church"

What a div!

Dragging the Catholic Church into an issue that has nothing to do with them.

New update from the church

Founder of Overcomers Church, Bishop Moses has addressed the Solomon Akiyesi's wedding
scandal. Watch video above then see an
updated statement from the church after the
cut...
This is a follow up to our statement from
Saturday, April 13, following the disrupted
wedding of Mr. Solomon Akiyesi to Ms. Uloma
Agwu.
In light of the media mayhem that has erupted
with tabloids spinning their own version of
events, we find it necessary to make a final
statement on the matter and hope that listening
ears and hearts will understand the decisions
we have made as a church.
Let’s start by addressing some of the rumours
that have been perpetuated on several gossip
blogs and tabloids.
Mr. Akiyesi is not a member of the Overcomers
Church World Outreach. We heard no word of
an existing marriage to Mrs. Lilian Akiyesi.
Many have pointed out that perhaps the
Overcomers Church failed to do its due
diligence in investigating Mr. Akiyesi
thoroughly. We concede the point and will
ensure that our Marriage Committee is
equipped with a travel fund that will allow
travel to visit with family members of engaged
couples and ensure both the prospective brides
and grooms are in fact who they say they are.
Ms. Uloma Agwu is a staunch member of the
Overcomers Church. We regret that she was
deceived by Mr. Akiyesi who lied, not only to
her, but her family and Church as well. There is
however no dishonesty on her part. She was
unaware that a Mrs. Akiyesi already existed.
Furthermore, Ms. Agwu is not pregnant, as
published by tabloids. That is a vicious lie that
we hope to clear up.
No semblance of a wedding between her and
Mr. Akiyesi took place at the Overcomers
Church on Saturday. No vows were said, no
rings exchanged and no marriage certificate
handed out and the Church has NO
INTENTION of endorsing such a union.
We respect the sanctity of Marriage at the
Overcomers Church and will continue to uphold
what is right and virtuous about the institution
of marriage.
We do not endorse divorce and work instead to
counsel troubled marriages and build stronger
unions. Those who know us, know that.
Which brings us to the final misconception. The
Overcomers Church does not fault Mrs. Lilian
Akiyesi’s right to put a stop to a marriage that
is not permissible in the eyes of the law and of
God. As a matter of fact, we thank her for doing
so and saving our sister, Ms. Agwu, from what
would have been a disastrous union.
What we DO NOT endorse and will not stand
for as a church is a group of people bringing a
fight into the House of God. We will protect and
defend our house of worship.
We learned that Mrs Akiyesi had arranged for
police personnel days before the wedding and
was already present at the Church hours before
the wedding ceremony started. The right thing
here would have been to alert church officials
and present her case in a manner befitting a
house of worship.
The wedding would not have taken place, and
Mr. Akiyesi and his wife would have been sent
along to sort out their lives together; which is
what we have done now.
We strongly disapprove of the way Mrs. Akiyesi
and her family and friends handled the matter.
It brought shame to this house of worship. We
also strongly abhor the actions Mr. Akiyesi, as
well. His deception brought shame and
disgrace, not only to the house of God, but also
to his wife and Ms. Uloma Agwu.
Let us state in no uncertain terms, the
relationship between Ms. Agwu and Mr. Akiyesi
was dissolved yesterday afternoon after all the
facts were brought to light.
We stand by our decision to pray for Mr.
Akiyesi and Ms. Agwu following the ugly
incident. No matter the wrongdoing, we commit
all things into the hands of God, the ultimate
judge. We will continue to support Ms. Agwu
and pray for peace for all parties involved. We pray that God reaches into every heart and brings healing, so we can all move in our
spiritual walk.

Thanks and have a blessed week!

Hahaha...this is only a damage limitation exercise. Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

No sensible person would believe this piffle. At least they admitted that their pre-marriage counselling is rubbish.

I got married into overcomers church six years ago.I want to make a point of correction dat our marriage couselling team are not a bunch of rubbish.D lessons i received since then is still helping me in my marriage.What happened is a situation of lie and deceit from the man.He is not a member of our church.Sis Uloma is not pregnant and our church does not wed pregnant women.We have learnt from dis to investigate couples clame before marriage

The propaganda machine is in full swing.

All I've read doesn't sound like what a church would say; looks more like d place is a SUPERMARKET. Op, are U sure U didn't mean 2 type OVERCOMERS SUPERMARKET?

Hear d Bishop of d church saying dat they stand by Sis. Uloma Agwu cos she's being a long standing, committed & dedicated member of theirs. Is Sis. Uloma Agwu claiming not 2 know dat d unfortunate Mr. Akiyesi is married?

"Dance of Shame."

very good reaction.god bless the church

I laff ...so this second press release contradicts the first...so when you didn't have all the facts..why were u in a hurry to say u stand with mr akiyesi the adulterer...and ur committed worker..
Please spare us the details even the bible says from the abundant of the heart the mouth speaketh..
The church clearly were in a hurry to support mr akiyesi and the mistress
Now they saw the damage done by the media
Rush back with a statement that doesn't even make sense.
Cos in the previous press release the church said mr akiyesi had plans 2 dissolve his former marriage ..and do the right thing..pls so more or less supported mr akiyesi plan 2 divorce his wife and come and marry our committed member..please we r nt dumb
Make una just repent .
If I may ask u said d mistress is nt pregnant do u conduct pregnancy test ..cos I know some churches do that? #just saying
Anyh like I said in my previous post the Lord just wanted 2 expose this church...
