Linda Ikeji at 1:23 PM Cardinal Okojie speaks on Chris & Anita Oyakhilome divorce drama, says 'are they true pastors'?
Speaking with a Vanguard reporter recently,
Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Lagos,
Anthony Cardinal Okogie, said the drama going
on between Pastors Chris and Anita
Oyakhilome is disturbing. He said when
pastors refuse to honour the vows they took at
the altar of God, what do they expect from the
ordinary members of their congregation?
“When the going was good, they took
vows on the altar of God to stay together
in sickness and in health, until death do
them part. They promise to make one
another faithful partner in the presence
of God, their family and friends and vow
to be each other’s faithful partner in
sickness and in health, in good times and
in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow.
(with their separation ) It shows that they
cannot live by what they preach. The
Bible says: ‘What God has joined together,
let no man put asunder.’ So why are they
putting asunder what the good Lord has
joined together if they are men of God as
they claim?”Okojie said
Asked what the development portrays for the
Church of God, the cardinal replied with a
question
“What Church are you talking about?. It is
not good. Are they true pastors? Good
shepherds of the Lord are expected to do
everything to shepherd their flock
including their spouses even when they
err. If God forgave us in spite of our filth,
why can any man who is truly called
pastor not forgive any malfeasance?”
Okogie blamed the Corporate Affairs
Commission, CAC, which registers every
organization which goes about deceiving
people in the name of church, noting that
there are several “useless” institutions that
have been registered churches which are
currently painting the Church of God in bad
light.
