Oritsejafor gave former president Dr Ebele Goodluck jonathan fake prophesy on election: pastor chris okotie Senior Pastor of the Household of
God Church, Chris Okotie , might be
in trouble with Nigerian Christian
elders.
The National Christian Elders
Forum has taken a swipe at Senior
Pastor of Household of God
Fellowship, Lagos, Rev. Chris Okotie,
over what they consider 'very
uncomplimentary' remarks he made
about the President of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor
Ayo Oritsejafor, during the course of
delivering a sermon on Sunday,
October 25, 2015,
Okotie had claimed that Oritsejafor
gave former president, Goodluck
Jonathan, a false prophecy, which
led him to contest and lose the last
presidential election. The group in a statement signed by
its chairman, Solomon Asemota
(SAN), said, "Since Rev. Okotie has
not issued a retraction of the news
report, it would be assumed that he
made the statements credited to
him."
The forum said Okotie’s alleged
slander would be addressed through
the Pentecostal Fellowship of
Nigeria (PFN), where he will be
required to defend his allegation.
“ The Reverend gentleman shall be
required, through the PFN bloc, to
kindly inform the Nigerian Church
“where and when” the President of
CAN made the “false prophecy” he
alluded to and why he believed such
unedifying information should form
part of the gospel from his pulpit.
“ In view of the many challenges
facing the Nigerian church, it has
become necessary to appeal to
Christians, particularly, the ministers
of the gospel, to be circumspect
about utterances concerning other
Christians, in particular, the person
and the office of the President of
Christian Association of Nigeria.
“It would be necessary to remind
Christians that CAN is the official
institution representing Christian
interests in Nigeria and any attempt
by any Christian to ridicule or
weaken CAN, is a disservice to the
Lord and to His Church.
“ The Bible makes it clear that there
would necessarily be disagreements
among us and God in His wisdom
has outlined steps for Christians to
manage and resolve conflicts . (Matt.
18: 15 – 17). Christians should desist
from slanders and false accusations.
“We did not so learn from Christ”.
(Eph. 4: 20)
“ Nigerian Christians should be
reminded that the Nigerian Church
has a lot of enemies bent on
“eradicating” the Church in all of its
“ramifications”. It is no longer a
secret that these enemies use
“operatives”, within and outside the
Church to spread false reports,
accusations and divisive statements
to divide the church and weaken
Christianity.
“Much of the contention in the
Church has been traced to the
nefarious activities of these
“operatives”, many of whom pretend
to be Christians. (2 Cor. 11: 13 – 15)
Satan knows full well that a house
that is divided cannot stand,” the
statement said.
