Not many people
know that the man of God, who serves as the President of Believers
LoveWorld Incorporated aka Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has
relocated to Johannesburg in South Africa.
Sources close
to the stylish and urbane pastor revealed that he relocated to South
Africa few years back ‘to further spread the gospel of Christ and win
more souls for the Kingdom of God.’
The source
added that the man of God disclosed that his disciples were taken aback
by his decision to leave his base in Nigeria, where he became popular as
a preacher of the gospel that appeals mostly to youths.
His church
members were said to have asked questions when the man took the decision
initially, but we learnt that they all agreed that it was time for him
to move on as he has reportedly raised pastors who could hold forte for
him in Nigeria and that he wanted to do the same in Nigeria.
The Nigerian
chapter of Christ Embassy Church is being co-ordinated by the church’s
numerous zonal pastors, while Pastor Oyakhilome still gives final
approval to decisions and visits the country regularly to preach at
church programmes.
“Pastor
Oyakhilome is still in touch with what we do in Nigeria, he comes around
regularly, but he currently stays in South Africa, where the church is
expanding by the day. There is no cause for alarm, the pastors here are
doing well too and I can tell you that the church is growing by the day
and we are winning souls for Christ,” said a source.
It was also
gathered that the wife of Pastor Chris, who is also the Director of
Christ Embassy International Office, Pastor (Mrs.) Anita Oyakhilome,
also pastors Christ Embassy Churches in the United Kingdom, where she
currently resides.
She is also
in-charge of her own chapter, Christ Embassy Docklands on North
Woolwich, London and she is the co-Director of LoveWorld Christian
Network.
This was said
to have been an agreement reached by the couple, and we are told that
the decision does not affect their relationship contrary to some media
reports sometime ago that they were about to divorce.
it was gathered
further that Pastor Chris frequents the United Kingdom and that Pastor
Anita also travels to South Africa to see her husband regularly.
“You know they
are both servants of God and it would be counter-productive for them to
stay in one country as this would not help the spread of the gospel.
That was why they agreed to stay in different countries so that they
could get across to as many people as possible in their different
locations and the feedback has been great,” a source added.
Through an
anointed ministry spanning over 25 years, Pastor, teacher, healing
minister, television host and bestselling author, Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome (PhD) has helped millions experience a victorious and
purposeful life in God’s word.
He is the

countries in over 148 languages of the world including Afrikaans,
Arabic, Cantonese, Croatian, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German,
Hindi, Icelandic, Italian, Mandarin, Myanmar, Portuguese, Russian,
Spanish, Swahili…and still counting! New languages are added regularly,
making the devotional accessible to many more in different parts of the
globe, thus bringing the richness of God’s Word into their lives. Little
wonder the devotional, oftentimes, is referred to as the, “Messenger
Angel”.
Presiding over
an ever-widening network of Christ Embassy Churches and campus
fellowships on all five continents, Pastor Chris also pastors one of the
largest congregations in Africa. He holds massive teaching and healing
crusades like the Higher Life conference and Night of Bliss with crowds

renowned Healing School is a ministry of Pastor Chris which manifests
the healing works of Jesus Christ today, and has helped many receive
healings and miracles through the gifts of the Spirit in operation.
Pastor Chris in
the year 2003, pioneered the first 24-hour Christian Network from
Africa to the rest of the world, and this has given rise to three
satellite stations, the LoveWorld TV in the UK, LoveWorld SAT in
South-Africa and LoveWorld PLUS in Nigeria and still counting. Through
this medium, millions of people have been reached with the beautiful
message of salvation and many lives have been transformed. These
stations are also available on the mobile platform.

also the host of “Atmosphere for Miracles”, a programme airing on major
television networks in the United States of America, the United
Kingdom, Asia, Europe and around the world, which brings God’s divine
presence right into the homes of millions around the world. With a
burning desire to bring God’s word to all men in simplicity and with the
power of the spirit, the man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (PhD),
established the International School Of Ministry, specifically to train
and equip ministers of the gospel of Christ, building in them the
realities of God’s word and empowering them to carry the message of
eternal life in Christ Jesus to their world, with great demonstration of
the miraculous power of God.
