Church or Concert? Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Exposes Why Gospel Artists Abandoned Christ Embassy
In a fiery revelation that has sent shockwaves across the Christian music industry, the founder of Love World, also known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has finally spoken out on why several gospel artists left his church. The cleric, in a recently surfaced video that has gone viral, did not hold back as he unveiled the startling truth behind their exit.
According to Pastor Chris, many of these artists lost their focus on serving God and instead became consumed by fame, money, and worldly ambitions.
“The Church Became a Party House”
In the explosive video, the renowned pastor lamented that his church had become more of a party zone than a place of true worship and soul-winning.
“Why did it happen? The church was turned into a party place, not a prayer place where God’s word was truly celebrated… they were not soul winners. They led praise in church, and when it was time for prayers, they were gone.”
“They Danced for Themselves, Not for God”
He further revealed how worship in the church was hijacked by self-glorifying performances rather than true adoration of God.
“The music in the church became worldly; they danced for themselves, celebrated themselves, not God. They charged for their singing, they became professionals making money from the church… and many pastors didn’t know that this was the world coming into the church.”
Pastor Chris admitted that he initially celebrated these gospel artists but had to change his stance when he realized the spiritual consequences. However, when he attempted to redirect them to the right path, they refused to follow.
“They Were Blinded by Small Money”
The cleric strongly condemned their focus on material gain, suggesting that their obsession with financial benefits overshadowed their spiritual purpose.
“They had become too popular, and because they were making even little money… do they know what big money is? The little money they were making was too attractive to them, so they didn’t want to follow me. So they made a detour… I hope they all repent… they are not worship leaders.”
A Call for Repentance?
This revelation has sparked heated debates among gospel music lovers and churchgoers. While some have praised Pastor Chris for standing firm against what he describes as worldliness in worship, others argue that gospel artists deserve financial rewards for their talents.
As the controversy continues to unfold, one question remains—will these former Christ Embassy gospel stars heed his call for repentance, or has the rift widened beyond repair? Only time will tell.
