In this case we can't allow the weed and the wheat to gro together cause the weed is just not a supposed member of the body but a ravenous wolf claiming to represent christ and leading thousands astray through evil and mormon doctrines. It would be very wrong as a christian to sit back and watch brethen being ripped off and being led to damnation based on mis-interpreted 'judge not' doctrines that ravenous wolves like Oyaks use to protect their racket.

vanity

Probably someone trying to taint the man's image. Am catholic oh, but I don't think the man would own this number of SUVs to himself. Probably a couple of people visiting his house parked their cars.

when will people learn to leave the man of God alone? what is in that picture to prove it is pastor Chris' house and the cars are his? and for those saying he's a scammer, he's a fake etc, if it's so easy to scam people and make money go and try it and let's see how far you will go

Funny thing is, dis doesnt look like a residential buildn, see d door at the entrance, wats d proof that the house even belongs to him, if e pain u too much go build ur own, stop arguing wit out facts, gmn

How do we know its Oyakhilomes

pheeeew! Nairaland with deluded and bitter posters and moderators. .
someone please explain how this trash got to the home page. .

Boko haram is wrecking havoc, Bad roads are claiming lives, Govt is milking us dry, debate abt minimum wages, poverty, poor educational system etc etc

and all we do on Nairaland is to have ethnic fights, ibo this yoruba that, hausa this and bla bla. .
religious arguements, Pastor bashing, Islam bashing. .

when will all this rubbish end, so we can move the country forward? when

Lol. So now pastors are actually closet Atheists? How about politicians who loot the treasury and donate 10% of the stolen funds to the Church. Are they Atheists too? Or armed robbers who ask pastors to pray for them? See, religion preaches illogicality, so you should expect to see results that don't make sense. Please don't blame Atheists for your silliness.

Even if its true nothing shocking to me. Hes a crook

The picture in the original post may or may not be that of Chris' mansion and cars. . .so I 'll pass up commenting on that but it is interesting to note the reaction of Joagbaje and cohort to March man's words which contain gems of Christian truth:

March man:

@joagbaje @mabell

I am. Member of CE. Been a member of since 2006 in Lagos.

You don't get the gist of my post, do you? It is that giving to church or to people is a confidential thing, nothing to boast about on Nairaland! How come we all know that you gave a prado jeep and now you are driving a wrangler? Be true to yourself, is this a Christian attitude? If Christ were to be alive, would he boast about his big Mercedez Benz?

(Matt 6:1-3) Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

March man:

He preached love, which would spur you to give according to what you decide in your heart, and not out of necessity or target (of the church or pastor). And he chooses who to bless because he sees the heart.

^
(2Cor 9:7) Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

(2Cor 8:12) For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

March man:

That's why Christ picked the widow who gave her last mite out of the thousands giving in the synagogue on the day he visited. If it was CE, the widow would not even be noticed. It's all those giving in 'millions' who catch the fancy of the pastor. And they actually get rewarded with awards at the end of the year for their giving. CE looks at the Church record, but God looks at the heart. I used to joke with my wife that if I stole my organisation's money and gave it to the church, that I will definitely get several awards at IPPC. Reason is that the church would see a brother giving millions, while God will see a thief. Who should I please? God or the Church?

^
(Luke 21:1-4) And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

March man:

@mabell. I am member of CE. Really I am. But even in church, I have learnt to make God the focus of my worship. On the day of resurrection, I will account for my life and will not stand behind Pastor Chris or Rev Anita. Two issues made me to re evaluate my relationship with the Church. First I gave some money to my then Fiancee to keep for me. She gave it all to the church. Let me not be diplomatic. She stole it and gave to the church. I was mad and that almost destroyed our relationship. But me being me, I started asking myself, why she did what she did.  I arrived at the conclusion that the church put too much slant on giving. Giving huge targets and implying that you only move to the next level when meet these targets.

^
(2Pet 2:1-3)
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

March man:

This belief has created people who will give their last dime on the church, but will not help their family friends or even themselves. My then Fiancee was a case in point. She spent all the money on the church and did not even buy a lipstick for herself. Meanwhile she had great need. So was her family. In fact you can't mention CE where her father is. He believes the church has created very selfish people who don't help their family.

^
(1Tim 5: But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

(Matt 15:4-9) For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

March man:

Secondly, I visited a church in Abuja where the pastor divide the church into four, according to how members are giving. No comment.

I have a flight to catch. I wish you all above every thing else that you reason this post according to what Christ preached. Ciao!

^
(Jas 2:1-5)
My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the man-lover clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

---

No wonder Joagbaje the wolf-in-sheep-clothing hates the epistle of James! CE is not a church. It is a cult as testified by mabell's own words to wit:

mabell:

. . .you are not his sheep, so , what are you still doing there

So she confesses that they are "pastor" Chris' sheep rather than Jesus' sheep:
(John 10:4-5) And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

And yes, she also got something right:

mabell:

My pastor is not poor but stinkily rich.

^
Yeah. . .dirty and smelly wealth which includes stolen money as reported here:

http://www.newswatchngr.com/editorial/prime/2003/24032003/sr10323144038.htm

Lawrence Agada, general cashier of Sheraton Hotels and Towers, Ikeja, will not forget January 12, in a hurry. On that fateful day, Chris Oyakhilome, pastor of Christ Embassy Church , Oregun, prophesied in a letter to him that God would do mighty things in his life. “He will cause you to excel and lift you up so high that the world can’t but take notice of you, in Jesus name. Amen.” Agada attracted the prophecy for sowing a seed of a 250 KVA generator valued at N4.4 million to the headquarters of Christ Embassy.

There was no stopping him after that. In no time he had spent N39 million on various projects and personal donations to pastors of Christ Embassy Church . But rather than receive reward for his seed sowing, Agada has landed into trouble. He was handed over to the police last week for stealing the money from his employers, to fund church projects.

His Lord Is Good

Wow as for now the most profitable bussiness in nigeria with no tax is estarblishent of church almost all pastor are driving jeep all in the name of jesus

The kingdom of leaven.

I wont be surprised if many of those pastors are atheists in real life. They see a business venture and go into it. No fear of God at all. All they need is to try look good, speak a little good english (wv some ajasa), learn a little psychology , get some marriage counselling lessons(or get their wives to do that) and practice on speaking in some terms no one might understand as scam and they'r in money

thank u my dear for that reasonable comment,
I thank God for my life and my parents for teaching me the way of the lord and not heresy, We must have discerning spirit as children of God, the bible says study and mediate in it day and night. and the bible also says that God is not a respecter of man. I am not against any body attending the church but like every church there are some practices i dont like about Christ embassy which included break dancing on the pulpit and all sort of show off. My biggest regret is the speaking in tongues that the pastor tell them to speak with open eyes even walking home from church without been in d spirit.

i think every one should put their diverse dogma and clergy doctrine to test and comparison with the bible without accepting anything a mortal man says to em in d name of a pastor

@All: while I Strongly disapprove of exaggerated display of opulence amongst men of God, we should b rational and have the fear of God in our posts.
@Pst.Kun: How dju kno that yhur guy isn't some phony who just wants to beef up yhur hate aganist the CE? For the love of God, that house looks like a hotel or private office. Save the lawn,  the building sef isn't tite. And except Pastor Chris has a deal with Toyota, Y shld he possess only Prado jeeps? Smacks of poor taste to me
@Joe: that CE members deify Pst. Chris is almost a fact. Quit defending him like he's blameless. Yés CE teaching has somewhat (mayB not intended) brainwashed its members and if Christ is to b really glorified, we must descend that He may ascend.

Pst.Chris has made his mark. He has touched lives in positive (and not so positive)ways. We Christians esp in these times should leave positive impacts towards the advancement of God's Kingdom and not help him separate the weeds from the crop exposing ourselves to ridicule in the process.

@ OP

Where are the "JEEPS" in the picture. I see none.

I don't follow the man and I don't really know his teachings but this story is obviously not true. Why would someone own 30 vehicles? It's not like they are collector or vintage cars or something. Just basically 30 of the same cars. Not true.

I am putting the whole blame on




I think we have to be very careful of what we write or say. The people using the word false teacher need to retract their statements and for those pouring vituperations on the man of God, i just pray that God will forgive all of you.

Christ embassy is not my church but i have over 500 copies of his videos, DVD not to talk of his daily devotional because he is one of the Pastors that preaches the unadulterated word of God in the world today. Remember the bible says 'touch not my annointed and do my prophet no harm'.

How can someone just go and take some sort of pics, come here a nd be deceiving people? Yet some people are judging without tangible evidence.

no case

Only God will say,

No man's business
besides that environment looks like a conference hall.

Yes, this is just an icing to the cake. l remember not too long ago the great one, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti sang about these long ago, Pastors dress na him wey clean pass, Pastors house na him wey fine pass, [we] the people dem go dey stay stay for surrounding,

We'd better woken up to the deceit been perpetrated before our very eyes by putting an end to same.

Christ shared with the poor folks he was with in his days, His acclaimed modern day apostles don't practice this as it is self evident from their conduct that they DO NOT SHARE HIS IDEALS.

@ March man

Where are you from? I dont think you are from Nigeria. this is the first time i read a well inspired writ-up on NL. You gave a well informed biblical concept of giving and concepts of mamon. PLs i copied your write up because i am truely inspired about the doctrine of money and marmon you gave in just few lines, God bless you. I hope Men of God will read this before they die. Thanks
