Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Reveals Why Sinach, Joe Praize, Frank Edwards, and Others Left Christ Embassy

Published

on

 

Founder of Love World (Christ Embassy), Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has spoken out about the departure of several well-known gospel artists, including Sinach, Joe Praize, Frank Edwards, Eben, and others, from his ministry.

These singers began their music careers within Christ Embassy before eventually moving on. Many reports suggested that their exits were due to restrictions on ministering outside the church.

For example, as Sinach’s international career flourished, her presence at Christ Embassy reportedly became less frequent, which was said to have displeased Pastor Chris. Allegedly, he asked her to return and resume active participation in the church’s music ministry, but she declined.

Pastor Chris Speaks Out

In a now-viral video, Pastor Oyakhilome explained that he stopped working with these artists because they were no longer focused on celebrating God.

He noted that he had tried to correct them, but when they refused to align with his vision, they parted ways.

His Statement:

“Why did this happen? The church was turning into a place of entertainment rather than a house of prayer where God’s word was truly celebrated. These singers were not winning souls; they led praise but left when it was time for prayers. The music in the church started to change—it became worldly. They performed for themselves, celebrated themselves instead of God, and even began charging fees for their singing. They became professionals who made money from the church, and many pastors did not realize that this was how the world was creeping into the church.

“Initially, I celebrated them, but when I made a shift toward a different direction, they refused to change with me. That’s when I had to let them go. God was speaking to me, showing me this was not the right path. I told them the Lord wanted us to do things the right way, but they had become too focused on their newfound popularity and financial gains. They didn’t want to follow me anymore, so they chose a different path. I hope they find their way back and repent because they are no longer worship leaders.”

Mixed Reactions from the Public

Pastor Chris’ remarks have sparked discussions online, with some supporting his stance while others argue that gospel artists should have the freedom to expand their ministries beyond their home church.

The situation continues to generate debate, with many awaiting responses from the gospel artists mentioned.

Pastor Chris Reportedly Fills Up Fifteen Stadiums in One Night at the Night of Bliss

Published

on

 

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s Night of Bliss on November 21, 2025 has quickly become one of the most talked-about Christian events in Nigeria. The programme was held simultaneously across the country, originally promoted as a ten-stadium event, but several reports and social media posts now claim the gatherings took place in fifteen stadiums nationwide.

Videos, photos and livestreams show massive turnouts across multiple cities, including Benin City, Port Harcourt, Lokoja, Asaba, Jalingo, Eket and others. Reports say all the stadiums involved were filled, though independent verification of exact attendance figures remains limited. What is clear from public footage is that each location recorded huge numbers of worshippers who gathered through the night for prayer, teaching and praise.

Even without confirmed capacity counts, coordinating ten to fifteen major gatherings across different states at the same time is a remarkable accomplishment. The atmosphere in each venue appeared vibrant and unified, with many participants describing the night as spiritually impactful.

For many believers, the Night of Bliss stands out as a moment of nationwide connection, sweeping attendance and extraordinary scale.

Every member of this church should be awake one hour every night — Bishop Oyedepo reveals how to battle alleged gen0cide of Christians in Nigerians

Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has warned Christians over the escalating insecurity in Nigeria, following a spate of recent @ttacks on churches that resulted in multiple d3aths and abductions, saying Christians must take decisive action.

The bishop’s warning comes as international concern mounts, with Italy becoming the second G7 nation, after the United States, to openly demand an immediate end to the targeted k!llings of Christians in Nigeria.

Speaking at a Pre-Shiloh Encounter Church Service, Bishop Oyedepo expressed deep concern over the nation’s current situation.

“Developments in the past two weeks, particularly in Nigeria, are worrisome to say the least. There is need for a prompt response in prayers to stop the k!llings once and for all. You can’t trade people’s lives for your comfort.”

“All the innocent bloo.d shared is speaking vengeance… all the perpetrators will pay with their lives.”

The cleric urged church members to launch into “midnight raid (prayers)”.

“Every member of this church should be awake one hour every day for one week before v!olence descends to an@rchy in Nigeria…”
