Pastor Chris Oyakhilome who allegedly gave up on his former wife when it became clear to him that there was no way that they could resolve their differences and save their marriage, is reportedly set to re-marry.
An exclusive report by ThisDay, has revealed that influential cleric, Chris Oyakhilome, who is the founding president of Believers' Loveworld Incorporated a.k.a Christ Embassy, is considering taking another wife, years after his marriage to his lovely wife, Anita Chris Oyakhilome (who has since reverted to her maiden name) collapsed.
Although the dandy pastor hasn’t made this known to his congregation, close sources and findings, revealed that a large segment of his congregation are already aware of his plans to take another wife, and rather than urge him to reconcile with his wife, they are reportedly cheering him on.
Shockingly, it has also been learnt that the ladies have started positioning themselves to fill up the void created by Anita’s departure from his life, as a lot of fair-skinned ladies in the church’s branches at home and abroad have started jostling to become the next Mrs. Oyakhilome. But Pastor Chris is reportedly not interested in any of them.
Sources revealed that by the time he names his new bride, every member of his congregation will gape in surprise.
The billionaire pastor allegedly gave up on his former wife when it became clear to him that there was no way that they could resolve their differences and save their marriage. Previous attempts to reconcile the couple by church elders, friends and family had proved futile.
While Pastor Chris prepares to take a new bride as widely speculated, his estranged wife, Anita has since reverted to her maiden name. She is now to be addressed as Anita Ebhodaghe.
Ok ohhh.
ReplyDeleteCongratss pastor.
Congratulations to him, that's all I can say am not God
DeleteEnd time pastor
Deletehe has been fucking that woman, since b4 divorce sef, he can't wait to make it official.
DeleteWhat happens to the part of the bible that forbids re marriage after divorce cos it amounts to adultery?
DeleteReconcile or remain single. Na so bible talk am
Delete@swaggy & boss lady, (IF) divorce was bcos of adultery, remarrying is allowed.
DeleteEnd time pastor colabing with choir members
DeleteI know my sheep n my sheep knows me
I just hope he marries Yemisi ooo. After all these years of fucking each other codedly
DeleteGod bless you. The dark lady who caused their divorce abi ? If he does not marry her after many years of fuckery, she will mess him up. Unless he has settled her big time.
DeleteHmm, na wa o! So the rumours about him and Pastor Y were true, thank God I stopped working with her and left the ministry, God will judge all evil works.
DeleteHmmm.. Waiting for the unveiling 😯
DeleteStellz! Hmmmm like your emoji up there, wetin my eye see, my mouth nor fit talk...
DeleteIts only you people that will carry do not remarry on your head. Meanwhile everyone else will move on be happy and enter heaven. You will be there judging and messing around with your boyfriends
DeleteAnonymous 11:04, stop this blasphemy! You are not permitted to remarry unless your spouse is dead. Why do the wedding vows not read" till adultery do us part"? Let's really read and understand the bible and stop interpreting it to suit our selfish desires.
DeleteOh well....
ReplyDeleteBodi no be firewood naa!! Since Anita isn't interested anymore, the man have to move on biko
ReplyDeleteThis is the mentality of an average side duck. Are you one? Or you just feel like chatting shit this morning.
Delete😞
Lmao!!!
DeletePL the great!!!! Lol!!!!
DeleteThanks Pal THE GREAT for de subtle insult, u can do better next time dear. We all have different views about life. But de man has to move on and live his life if he knows he can't live the celibate life. Man of God or not, he is firstly human.
DeleteR u kidding me? What happens to the statement " God hates divorce"and " till death do us apart". Mtcheeeeeew, all these new generation pastors, good luck to them
ReplyDeleteGrace covers him. Double mtcheeeeeee
DeleteLike seriously, I tire o. How will a pastor not know that divorce is a no no in the bible except on the grounds of adultery? Jesus save us.
DeleteThat statement is for the mumu members, along with other statements.
DeleteDo as i say, not as i do.
COZA pastor said to Essay, There's a higher form of grace. Kikikiki
DeleteU dey listen to dem? Make dem dey deceive their members not me
DeleteYes God hates divorce but when one of them is no longer interested nko?
DeleteGod hate divorce bt nt the divorcee. Beside u don live with them to know their problem.
DeleteGod does not hate divorce, he said when you remarry that is a sin.
DeleteThou shall not quote the Bible to please yourself
DeleteSay it d way it is
As a christian it's wrong to DIVORCE
Mechionu all of you...
DeleteBut na true sha I no understand
@atheist,abeg leave coza pastor out of this..he's happily married n there's no issue btw him n pst Modele..am not a member,so don't tink I'm supporting my pastor
DeleteNow I see that you do not read your Bibles. The Bible justifies divorce on grounds of adultery. Read Matthew 5; 32 and Matthew 19; 9
DeleteSecond Chris okotie loading.......serial horseband/ serial woman wrapper
DeleteBut the man is the adulterer in their own case. The first day Stella wrote about a crack in their marriage I said it, but she refused to publish some of my yansh opening. Now the wife has confirmed it.
DeleteHhmmmnnnnn...it is well!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the useless congregation will clap for him oh.
DeleteDeep down they know its wrong, but their brains being on pause will make them applaud.
Hehehehe. Every pastor chris is an endtime pastor,beware!
ReplyDeleteIts the sheep in Christ Embassy i fell sorry for.
DeleteA faithful married man can't just jump into another marriage immediately after divorce, i mean how long has it been?? Anita saw him for who he is, all the charade & make-believe, i respect her honesty & rigid attitude to decision making..... An average nigerian woman would want to die there, for what? To save the name of the church & keep up appearances. Na them sabi jare *sips coffee* when u don't use ur head, one smart jerrycurled head will help u use it.
😂
DeleteFell sorry? I understand. Me I don't FEEL sorry for them, who am I to pity them. God knows the best
Delete@Atheist. Pls don't 'fell' sorry 4 dem. U hear? 'fell' sorry 4 ur gbaguan henceforth
DeleteEnd time pastor. I no longer take any of these pastors serious at all. Na dem sin pass.
ReplyDeleteShine ur eyez
DeleteSeconded
DeleteJust imagine rubbish.
ReplyDeleteEven the bible condemns divorce talk more from a pastor.
He shld reconcile with his wife anyhow,if he commits it to God I'm sure she will change her mind.
God condemn divorce nd nt the divorcee.
DeleteGod condemned adultery too.
DeleteHmmm. Okay oo. Baba Yaweh only you knows, my human sense don tink am tire. Well, OK.
ReplyDeleteBy their fruits you shall know them. Don't mind the foolish followers in that church. Keep deceiving yourselves.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you! This one na end time pastor + end time congregation! So who's gonna be mama g.o? So called pastor Yemisi the hair massager, Dallas rolex chick or one of the baby okus? Lmao, Be like say na lucky dip dem go do. These idiots keep disgracing Christianity since 2000AD. Y'all should just go back to paganism. No one will judge you there.
DeleteIn the last days, many will come in my name....
What fuckery!
Shaaaaraaaaap dia
DeleteMy sister na member no pity her
But nna meeeennnnnn odikwa egwu
Mon Ami, mbok you no go work?

DeleteAnon...na she suppose find me work o
Delete@Mon Ami...you obviously need a P.A, that's why I'm here *wink

ReplyDeleteReal wa, it's all I can say.
DeleteSay what????.
ReplyDelete#I am a fruitful vine, I am a joyful mother of children
Ok na...and let the curch say.....amen!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen.
DeleteIt's not a news Stella, I confirmed last week. Anyway good luck to them
ReplyDeleteReally. ?
DeleteChei....I don't know why this hurts personally. Always thought that somewhere along the line these two would reconcile and get back together. Bringing in a new Mrs Chris is really gonna complicate things. Well,I wish them the best of life.
ReplyDeleteChrist embassy members kept lying and covering things up.... Now its all blown up for all to see... Useless African Gold users.
DeleteMy Southie friend here in Canada is still arguing with me that they are still very much married and it's the 'devils' cooking this all up.
DeleteI tire to explain
Congrats to him in advance....no one should judge him
ReplyDeleteGbam you get sense
DeleteWhat do I know
I supports him to remarry. Life is too short. Every body deserve a second chance to correct their mistakes.
ReplyDeleteJames,don't get me angry oooh
DeleteI agree with u on this one. Let him marry again biko. Body no be wood. If he starts fucking church members now,we will still come here and talk trash and condemn him. He should marry and avoid temptation since Anita kuku no want again. The same people shouting marriage is not by force and advising DV victims to leave and remarry are d same one preaching God hates divorce now. What a hypocritical world!
DeletePortable, pls who has James not offended on this blog? Mscheew
DeleteSometimes I just can't with this pastors.. The same Bible to stand on the pulpit to preach says one Van divorce their partner based on infedilty. It didn't stop there. It also mentioned that after the 2 parties are divorced, they shouldn't remarry as they will be committing adultery even after divorce. It also went on to say unless one party dies before the other can remarry..
ReplyDeleteI'll understand if those who aren't pastors get it wrong but as a pastor, aren't you suppose to lead by example?? And how long ago was it that they divorced that he is already getting married??
*they stand
Delete*can divorce
*infidelity
*
Apparently, they have been separated for a while, the divorce only recently came through. It is well.
DeleteTrust them to bring in the New testament's dispensation of grace to counter God's commandments...I am but a sinner, so I rest my case
DeleteThank you my sister,u just saved me from typing my well prepared epistle upon this matter.
DeleteEnd time * PASTA* In my best Ghanaian accent.
Omo forget dt thing ooooo he he he he
DeleteShe divorced him remember? It's between Anita and God. It simply means that they are no longer married. Pastor Chris needs a wife..
DeleteHahhhaaa all the fair ladies in church positioning themselves!! So he likes fair women only?! It's his choice is he wants to remarry. Better to remarry than sleep around with women in the church. Christ embassy is one church I can never step into again. All you hear is old things have passed away. You have become new. Instead letting people know that there are consequences for our actions in this life
DeleteGbenu e soun ..kokan aiye
DeleteChoi but nawa for wa sha
Lemme just be looking at the Christians that will come here disgracing themselves and their religion cause they don't read their bibles....divorce and remain single...Grace won't cover this deliberate sin okay
DeleteOf course, the spirit of compromise with the world has made the church go far from Jesus Christ teachings. All they're concerned about now is how to accumulate more & more wealth on Earth, and have an empty treasury in heaven. Some scriptures of the Bible have been abandoned. May God have mercy on us.
ReplyDeletei'm an Atheist, but i like this ur comment.
DeleteYou're right, if i tell you passages in that bible they ignore, u wldnt bliv.... I've argued alot with believers, most of them don't even read the bible.
Atheist mind your Atheism and leave us alone Jo .who u epp
DeleteChristians refused to leave me alone also, constantly trying to convert me & reminding me of hell...
DeleteWho heaven don epp?
Ms. Nicey, absolutely gorgeous, drowning in ur eyes...

Mon ami, this one u are jumping upandan I hope all is well with u?
Delete@Atheist, If Heaven does not help you, HELL will.
DeleteHehehe portable all is not well Jo
DeleteNa confusion o as I no even know which side I dey for this matter .that's the causer of the jumpology...e clear u
My favorite parts of the bible are when Jesus is alone talking to God (himself) and someone who wasn't there is writing about it!!! Lmsao!
DeleteEnd time pastor.....Like Chris Okotie like Chris Oyakhilome.
ReplyDeleteDis Oyakhilome is d real anti-Christ mehn....*in Linda Eze's voice*.

DeleteHey darl, how's your health now? Better I guess. Take care.
DeleteReally? I'm shocked. So if a member with a broken home comes 4 advise, this is what he'll be told? Behave like 'our' daddy?
ReplyDeleteMtchewwww
Mother confessor, shut up, ure a whore!!!!!
DeleteBut this is a dicey matter. If Anita refuses reconciliation,should he stay alone? Is it better for him to quench his sexual desires outside marriage?
DeleteI remember Pastor Ituah Ighodalo...when redeem pastors condemned him for trying to marry after his wife refused reconciliation for years. Let God be the judge not us. Thats why I love Jesus. He said " Let anyone who is without sin cast the first stone"....one by one they disappeared.
So,are you a sinner? Then shut up!!!!
Shebi he's a miracle worker @Anon 11:46- he should pray for his marriage to be reconciled. God does miracles.
DeleteAnon 10:51, u miss road ni? Mother confessor ni, scofield kor.
DeleteAnon 11:46, this is not about being a sinner or casting the first stone or judging him. Say the truth when it's necessary abeg. Haba
Anin 11:46, RCCG pastors no waka na Pastor Ituah waka
DeleteThere is something wrong with some men called 'chris'
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahaha
DeleteHemsworth??
DeleteLmao!!!!!! I tell you o
DeleteNo, nothing is wrong with Chris Hemsworth, he's an exception to the rule. My crush for days! *sighs*
DeleteNah Atheist...just in Nigeria
DeleteAnyways, I expected it. I knew it would not be long before he takes another bride to the altar. He should marry one of those he has been having affairs with. Why look for another Virgin, when he has slept with top mistresses all around the globe. He does not deserve a virgin. May God Almighty help us all.
ReplyDeleteDon't judge men of God. Only God knws everything. Who is He that condemns it is the Lord Jesus that justifies. God Bless you.
ReplyDelete*slap* ✋
DeleteDon't judge men of God but they can judge us abi? See, Chris Oyakhilome is not a man of God but just a pastor and 'pastor' is just a title
DeleteWhy are u all saying divorce is bad bla bla bla ,pastor chris didn't wake up one day to say he was divorcing his wife,she made the decision u dumb people,is it not better to remarry than to commit fornication and adultery?
ReplyDeleteLol! The only condition for remarriage in the Bible is if your divorced spouse is dead. Remember the oath States 'till death do us part" not till divorce do us part. So darling it's not better to remarry when your spouse is still alive and well. You're committing adultery. It's clearly stated in the Bible. You guys should stop tailoring your bibles to suit your taste.
DeleteShut up you fowl,
DeleteAfter tormenting and negleting her for years, plus his infidelity, she was practically living like a single woman, its time she made it official....
I guess that was his plan, to frustrate her out of the union, then mumu ppl like u wld say she divorced him.
PL i guess he should go and kill her then
DeleteShut up!! Why did she leave? Even pastor Was in benny hinn or oral roberts had a similar issue if the wife being fed up. What did he do? He courted her again and they renewed their vows and continued. This was after over 20 years of marriage. The woman claimed neglect on his part. Pastor chris should go and learn from REAL men of God how it's done. Except he's been looking for an excuse to port since. Yeye dey smell
Delete*Was it benny
Delete*of the wife
@pl the great pls abandonment is also a reason to divorce
DeleteDid his wife just wake up and said she wants to be separated from him? I'm not sure you've bewn abandoned before, if not tou won't write this rubbish ul there
DeleteSee oyibo pepper ladies wants to taste Pastor Chris prick. Shame on the ladies jostling for the post. Pity people of Christ embassy. Empty treasure they have in heaven. End time members
ReplyDeleteLearn to talk with sense and class. Not aimlessly like an running tap
DeleteAn anon 11:49 . It's not her fault, that's how the jeje skunk always talks, she is a running tap.
DeleteAdulterer.....Shame!
ReplyDeleteEnd time story.

DeletePastor Adeboye, Pastor Kumuyi, Bishop Oyedepo.....
DeleteAbeg, my Pastor W.F Kumuyi is different biko. His life and marriage is an example
DeleteAsoge bishop almost made it to my list. Until when he said people who don't vote GEJ will go to hell. #TheEnd
DeleteOnly God can say who worships him in spirit and in truth.
DeleteI respect Pastor E A Adeboye and some few men of God.
All this supposed hearsay is put out by the Church itself to judge people's reaction. It is really sad as they should lead by example. They commit all sorts of artrocities and then brainwashe members of their churches not to discuss the matter making them believe they will be sinning against God if they do and by so doing, the stupid money contributing members do not question their actions and keep making them wealthy blindly. God dey.
ReplyDeleteThat's how they have been controlling the masses since 19kpiridim.
DeleteSo soon???
ReplyDeleteWow!
Judgement day pls come already...
Going by these comments here lots of peeps make ignorant statements.
ReplyDeleteThe wife left and refused to come back,should he go and drag her back into his house?
You read that all efforts at reconciliation were futile.u still want a young man like that to spend the rest of his life lonely bcos of one woman? Na wa for una oh.
Im sure this was a hard decision but biko b4 the next gist is that he committed fornication abi adultery ,please let him remarry.Everyone knows their weaknesses and their strengths
Best and the only reasonable comment here, Anita left, there was no divorce, so many dumb people sha
DeleteBut they were not living together while they were married, how was he doing it then
DeleteBrain drained faithfool! When a blind man leads a blind man the two of them will fall into a pit!
DeleteIf you like manipulate, twist, whine it to suit yourselves, just note that God is not to be mocked!
Luke 16:18 is unequivocal on this matter!
Christ embassy member, welcome oh
DeleteMumu.
Anon 10:15 "there was no divorce" so he's marrying a second wife????
DeleteLet's assume she left. Then a year later he's set to remarry? Is marriage easy? He couldn't work harder at reconciliation? He couldn't endure just a while longer? Is this how they carry the Cross in trials, temptation and tribulations? By jumping ship? Well, to each his own.
DeleteLol.Fyi i do not attend christ embassy but its easy to judge others when we are not the ones involved.You think it is easy to grow thru life alone?
DeleteMay we not find ourselves in the shoes of the ones we criticize.
He never made any effort to make thw marriage work in the first place. He only did all the reconciliation thing because it was brought to the open.
DeleteFake men of God, all they care about is buying the latest jets and building fancy edifices. I blame all the hypnotized sheep that continually attend their churches and pay tithes and all that nonsense. I worship Ifa. [HS]
ReplyDeleteEhen, and so?? You go where dem dey sell jet dem say dem no go sell for you?

DeleteAnonymous 11.28 you dey feel am abi?? Kikikiki
DeleteWell said nothing abt blw suprises me
ReplyDeleteThis one na 'soro uzo okwu m, esola omume mu' pastor. Forget it. He already had one. All the fair ladies marching forward are wasting their time. Its not today's thing. I guess the divorce part of the bible has been erased from these churches. You find out that most of these pastors are the ones that divorce most and remarry. These are PASTORS and not laymen. They are meant to lead by example. What am I supposed to be listening to again when they stand in front of the congregation to preach? This is getting alarming.
ReplyDeleteThe word of God says... but then. Na wa. Well, all man shall answer to their Creator.
Gbam. Ikwuru I've IBU na obi. Dalu
DeleteLOL,that awkward moment when a couple at the brink of divorce goes to Pastor Chris for counselling.....
ReplyDelete...kwakwakwa, after a little persuasion and they don't budge, I can just imagine this happening :
DeleteP: ok, kneel down so I can bless this divorce,
In the name of my father, his son and his spirt, I bless this divorce...by the power vested on me, I hereby declare you spinster and bachelor, you may remove your rings. Go and be blessed, go and prosper individually, go and locate your second missing ribs...lmao

ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm jerry curls pastor
ReplyDeleteChineke!!! That's my pastor ooooh, hmmmmm I am speechless. So pastor Anita vehemently refused to reconcile with pastor Chris abi. Both of them need deliverance. I am a blw member and I know what is wrong and right. Why can't they both compromise?
ReplyDeleteChange church, move to a bible believing, Jesus the way , the truth and the light, Jesus our savior, holyspirit filled ministry. Transition to MFM under the leadership of Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya.
DeleteHe didn't treat her right for years and didn't make a genuine effort to reconcile. There was also the issue of inappropriate relationships with other women ie PYK, who I heard from an insider tried to poison Pastor Anita once. I was a member and saw a lot of things that were not right.
DeleteWhat a shame, anyway I never liked Christ Embassy Church.
ReplyDeleteJoin the club!
DeleteEven Chris Okotie. Thought he said he won't remarry. What is he doing with chinenye. He has been in that girl 's life for 5 years.long suffering girlfriend. They should make it official already. Liar liar people. Coding upandan.
ReplyDeleteChai!and that girl na fine girl oh. Wey person for don marry since. How about that delphine?
DeleteWelcome o
DeleteJesus allowed divorce on only two grounds
ReplyDelete1. Adultery ( Matthew 19;9, Matthew 5; 32)
2. Abandonment by an unbeliever (1 Corinthians 7; 15)
So Pastor Anita was justified, according to the Bible, in filing for divorce because it's an open secret that Pastor Chris sleeps with everything in skirt!
The Bible never prohibits divorce. It said "God hates divorce" not "God forbids divorce." God's law in the old testament allowed for divorce (Deuteronomy 24: 1-4).
God hates divorce and as much as as possible, it should be avoided. But divorce is NOT forbidden like some Christians say, because in some rare cases, Bible allows for divorce.
I agree.
DeleteBut as a pastor he should seek repentance. Not just jump into another marriage.
Read your bible well, there's no where it permits a woman to divorce her husband. Nowhere! Before you begin to throw words like "chauvinist" around, study the bible and understand what I just said. Some crooks will curl their hair and be deceiving some small-minded folks. Who no sabi say Chris na guy man?
DeleteYou left out the second section of the problem. So how about remarrying after divorce? Explain with scriptural backing. Thank you.
Delete@Blunt 1 Corinthians 7; 15 "But if an unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The BROTHER or SISTER is NOT bound in such circumstances. God has called us to live in peace." That is what the text says. You can cross check in your bible.
DeletePaul didn't say "brother" or "brother", he said "brother" or "sister" so I believe he was talking about both men and women, unless of course the word "sister" is for males in your language. Paul in this verse justified divorce for both men and women. And its pretty clear he was talking about marriage in 1 Corinthians chapter 7 verse 1 up until verse 16.

DeleteYou made reference to 1 corinthians 7:15, I wonder how you got to V.15 without seeing V.10.
DeleteThe bible in itself is contradictory.
@Anon 12; 25 The verses you are talking about address remarriage, which is cited as adultery here and not just divorce. @Anon 12; 37 1 Corinthians 7; 10-16 supports what I am saying which is
Delete-Divorce is hated by God and should be avoided, BUT if left with no alternative, the Bible DOES allow divorce in rare instances
Also, the verses you both cited are against REMARRIAGE after DIVORCE, not necessarily DIVORCE ITSELF. So if it's remarriage then yes, there's a problem. But divorce, although bad, is justified in some cases by the Bible. It's remarriage after divorce that is NOT allowed.

E yaff do
DeleteGod permitted divorce but she's the couples not to remarry. He permitted divorce for infidelity. He asked them to stay single and should only remarry when one party dies.
DeleteAs if they get married they would be committing adultery..
Hmmm..ok o..now that you hv finished analyzing and dissecting the difference between 'hate'and 'forbids'.hope you feel better now...hope you can now sleep better at night.
DeleteYou guys are showing so much disappointment because you place your pastors in the position you place God. When they now err, it hurts you like crazy. Seek the Lord on your own , no one is a role model. None like God. Absolutely none.
ReplyDeleteLet's be careful in judging and go as the spirit leads. Remember the story of Esther and queen vashti . Know one knows Gods mind and reasons he allows things to happen . We can as well say why did God allow Esther to take someone else's home- as we usually tag( home breaker). Also remember the genealogy of Jesus Christ : "the harlot" who saved d spice. Pls do not judge so you won't be judged. Face your salvation and work it out with fear and trembling. Many stories in the bible that if we mix and match we might even judge God but we need to be careful and pray. It's non of our business what happens to a man of God . Only pray for them. Remember Moses and Aaron plus Miriam's story. Please hug your salvation and face your works.All the Uches and Daddy freeze in the house .
ReplyDeleteFor the records I don't attend Christ embassy before some elenu think am taking sides with pastor Chris. lets not feel we know too much of d bible and judge ourselves inclusive. Don't allow ur emotions becloud your reasoning . Think deep before you speak. Don't fly into conclusions.
Thanks for reading.
But same Bible says that we are not meant to judge unbelievers but we are to judge within the church. If we turn our eyes from atrocities within, how are we helping the body of Christ? In those days men of God were almost above reproach. God Himself interacted with them for all to see. Today, we are surrounded by wolves in sheep's clothing, by antichrists bearing the name of Pastor, Reverend, Man of God, Father, General Overseer etc, from such, we should be wise about. Many of such are leading droves of people to hell.
DeleteWhy am I not surprised?
ReplyDeleteGood luck to him and new wife.
According to Karl Marx ' Religion is the opium of the masses'
ReplyDelete"The Bible's teaching on divorce is expansive; however, in this short piece, we'll narrow our focus to one important aspect of Jesus's teaching from Mark 10:1–12—the condition for divorce.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Pharisees tested Jesus on this controversial issue of divorce, His response focused on the "one fleshness" of a married couple (Mark 10:2–9). Later, the disciples privately asked Jesus to explain His answer (10:10). As was His custom, once He was alone with the disciples, Jesus underscored the salient part of His teaching. He clearly stated that marriage is to be a permanent bond between one man and one woman. To break it off and marry another is adultery (10:11–12)".
Jesus affirmed (and still affirms) the permanence of the marriage bond. But He also acknowledged that because of the depravity of the human heart, the marriage bond might be severed under certain circumstances. What are those circumstances? That requires us to turn to the "exception clause" of Matthew 19:9:
I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.
The Greek word Jesus used for "immorality" is the word from which we get our modern word pornography. "Immorality" in this verse is based on the word porneia. The root, porne, means "prostitute." In Matthew 19, Jesus could have used the word molxeia, the word used specifically for adultery, but He chose a broader term. Porneia, when applied to illicit sexual activity among unmarried couples, is often translated "fornication." When applied to illicit sexual activity among those who are married, porneia is often translated "adultery." In either case, porneia is considered immorality.
Generally, the Greek term porneia refers to sexual activity that is immoral, illicit, and sometimes unnatural. For this reason, some scholars interpret the term loosely and apply it to homosexuality, bestiality, incest, and the like. But let's keep in mind, no matter how immoral these activities are, Jesus only permitted divorce for such offenses... He did not command it.
If you have a spouse guilty of the kinds of things just described, you're not commanded to walk away from that person. The goal in such marital relationships is reconciliation—always. Paul wrote in Galatians 6:1: "If anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness."
Divorce is a personal decision, not a divine mandate. And porneia isn't a blanket rule that we smear across all immorality in marriages and say, "Ah-hah! Now you've done it! It's over! Our next stop is divorce court." Again, divorce is permitted in cases of porneia; it's not commanded. Reconciliation is the goal—a spirit of, "How can we work through this serious breach in our relationship?" not, "How can I get out of it?"
Let me add that porneia isn't an unforgivable sin. Admittedly, it is a serious, heartbreaking, and emotionally shattering act of disobedience and betrayal. But it need not be treated as if it cannot be forgiven. If you're in the midst of heartbreaking betrayal and you believe your marriage is hanging in the balance, please consider the hard work of reconciliation before you make the kneejerk reaction: "I've got grounds for a divorce, and I'm not stopping until I get it!" More often than not, filing those papers will only trade one heartache for an even deeper one".
Chris Oyahkilome is that what Pst Idahosa groomed you to be? To think how the late Pst. Benson Idahosa was his spiritual father.... Him and Pst. Oritsajefor. There's a YouTube video of Oyahkilome & Oritsajefor standing behind the late Benson Idahosa in a crusade. They were young then.
