This piece got me really wondering if God is not against grudge. Jesus told us to forgive and pray for our enemies but our religious front-liner aren't doing the same. If all these pastor as stated below had issues with one another, abeg how many come remain?:
You can call it subtle enmity, if you like. But the truth remains that some of our leading pastors are not the best of friends. As a matter of fact, while some have been hiding theirs for years, there are those that even up till now cannot stand each other. Not only do they not talk, they readily abuse themselves whenever time permits. Come with YES INTERNATIONAL! as we unmask these preachers of the Word as well as serve you the genesis of all their quarrel…
CHRIS OYAKHILOME/T.B JOSHUA AND KRIS
OKOTIE:
We doubt whether there’s been any war
like theirs in the Christendom. Hugging the covers of nearly all the major
papers in the country for months then, even The Nigeria Police, Pentecostal
Fellowship of Nigeria and Christian Association of Nigeria had to wade in at
some point. Okotie, founder of Household of God Church, accused his next door
neighbour, Oyakhilome, of Christ Embassy, of hobnobbing with Joshua, whom he
described as a shaman. Thus, contaminating the Body of Christ. And hell was
literally let loose. Other men of God took sides and the war raged and raged.
Till today, Okotie and Oyakhilome don’t relate. Likewise Okotie and Joshua,
front man of Synagogue Church of All Nations.
KRIS OKOTIE/ANSELM MADUBUKO:
Their disagreement then shocked a lot of
people. Do you know why? Both of them used to be so close. They attended the
same University of Nigeria, Nsukka where the fire of their friendship was
ignited; were each other’s ‘best man’ on their wedding days and so on. Even
when Okotie was reigning as a pop star, Madubuko was backing him up from a
corner as a D.J. With the coming of Household of God Church, Okotie put
Madubuko in charge of the Healing Ministry. Then, one day, one unforgettable
day, he ordered Madubuko out of the church – with a stern warning never to step
into the church again. Of course, things ceased to be the same again for the
two former close friends – even though, lately, they’ve been trying to patch it
up.
DAVID OYEDEPO/TUNDE BAKARE:
Hate him, like him, Pastor Tunde Bakare
does not care. One other noticeable thing about him is that
there’s nobody he
cannot chastise in the Body of Christ or take on, one on one. Obviously the
Pentecostal radical, Bakare is not a supporter of some of the things they do at
Oyedepo Winners’ Chapel. For example, the use of anointing oil, handkerchief
and so on – and repeatedly, he has criticized that. Even though Oyedepo has
never responded to any of his criticisms, it should be expected that he
wouldn’t be happy with him. Bakare pastors The Latter Rain Assembly while
Oyedepo is the G.O of Winners’ Chapel.
SAM ADEYEMI/GEORGE ADEGBOYEGA
Adeyemi pastors Daystar Christian
Centre while Adegboyega is in charge of Rhema Chapel International. Before now,
however, the former used to work for the latter. In fact, he was in charge of
the latter’s Lagos branch and until he exited the ministry, both of them had a
fantastic relationship. The rhythm of the music only changed when Adeyemi said
he wanted to be on his own. And till date, the relationship hasn’t been
restored to its former state – owing majorly to how some issues were handled at
the thick of the crisis.
PATRICK ANWUZIA/JOSEPH AGBOLI
Anwuzia and Agboli are brothers. They
both come from Ogwashi – Uku, Delta State and used to have a very chummy
relationship until a wedge of asunder was put in between them. Like Adeyemi and
Adegboyega, Agboli used to work for Anwuzia. But upon deciding to run with his
destiny, palaver started – and till today, it still hasn’t been properly sorted
out. Anwuzia founded Zoe Ministries while Agboli is behind Victorious Army
Ministries.
