False Prophets, Foreign Charlatans and Global Deception
http://www.charismamag.com/index.php/fire-in-my-bones/32861-false-prophets-foreign-charlatans-and-global-deception
When I arrived in eastern Europe·a few days ago I learned that Romanian Christians have quite a spiritual battle on their hands. Believers here struggled for years under communism. But now that they are free, they face an equally sinister struggle against cults, New Age teachings and—worst of all—charlatans who claim to be powerful Christian prophets.
One of the most controversial figures in Romania today is Chris Oyakhilome, a Nigerian broadcaster and faith healer who lives in South Africa. Although this smooth-talking preacher has never been to Romania, his influence has grown through his TV programs and books. Meanwhile, some gullible Romanian church leaders have visited his ministry base in Johannesburg and then returned to impart his miracle power to their congregations.
“As much as I want to see healing miracles
restored to the church today, I’m not willing to fling open the door to
deception. The devil can fake miracles, and if we don’t apply discernment in
this vulnerable hour, impostors will sneak into the church and unleash their
doctrines—with deadly results.”
You may have never heard of Oyakhilome, but don’t be surprised if his programs soon appear on a Christian television station near you. The founder of a movement called Christ Embassy, which began in Lagos, Nigeria, Oyakhilome already has 16 churches in the U.S., mostly attracting African immigrants in cities such as Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. He has 39 churches in the United Kingdom (where many Nigerians live) and 18 in Canada, and his daily devotional books called Rhapsody of Realities are supposedly available in 70 languages.
Why is he so controversial? Consider a few facts:
- Nigerian Christians have long complained that Christ Embassy is a cult—mainly because members reportedly are forced to give money in offerings and are pressured to marry only within their church.
- Oyakhilome was accused of engineering a money laundering scheme in Nigeria in 2010, and questions swirl around his finances because of his glamorous lifestyle.
- Theologians and cult-monitoring groups have documented their concerns about Oyakhilome’s “New Creation” doctrine—a form of gnosticism that says after a person becomes a Christian, any sin they commit is only in the body and will not affect the spirit. Oyakhilome mixes this doctrine with a hybrid version of the American prosperity gospel, claiming that God wants all people to be rich.
- Oyakhilome’s reputation as a faith healer was tarnished badly in 2008 in Johannesburg when a man told a Soweto newspaper that Christ Embassy offered him more than $1,200 (U.S.) to sit in a wheelchair and pretend to be crippled until Oyakhilome prayed for him. The man went to the media instead of taking the money, sparking concerns that healings were being faked to impress growing crowds.
- Perhaps most disturbing is Oyakhilome’s connection with T.B. Joshua, a Nigerian occult healer who leads a mysterious group called The Synagogue, Church of All Nations. Joshua, who claims his mother carried him in her womb for 15 months because he was a special prophet, mixes Pentecostal fervor with pagan spirituality. After coming under Joshua’s influence a few years ago, Oyakhilome began copying some of his bizarre mannerisms.
Jude, the brother of Jesus, warned us 2,000 years ago about such false prophets. “For certain persons have crept in unnoticed … ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ” (Jude 4, NASB). Paul also warned that people will demand false teachers to fulfill their lusts, and that those teachers will “turn away their ears from the truth” (2 Tim. 4:3-4). Those ancient words are painfully relevant today.
Some Romanian church leaders have sounded an alarm. One of them, Ioan Peia, released a public warning in 2011 listing various false doctrines promoted by Oyakhilome. Peia urged Romanian church leaders to “repent and ask God’s forgiveness, and ask the forgiveness of our brothers, because we allowed a part of these teachings to be spread among us and through us.”
I feel I must sound an alarm as well. As much as I want to see healing miracles restored to the church today, I’m not willing to fling open the door to deception. The devil can fake miracles, and if we don’t apply discernment in this vulnerable hour, impostors will sneak into the church and unleash their doctrines—with deadly results. Please don’t be duped by counterfeits.

Dangerous teachings of Chris Oyakhilome
by John Peia
Introduction
At the urging of the Holy Spirit have done extensive
research Chris Oyakhilome's teachings, which in the past two years and half
were widespread in the country and the diaspora. Over 250 brothers and sisters
participated in ultmii two years at conferences organized by Chris Oyakhilome
and his church in South
Africa. Most of them have confessed
sincerely "human impact of God" Chris Oyakhilome them.
This impact has been sent to the same extent in the country.
Chris Oyakhilome's teachings have produced the first confusion, then rejection,
sibling separation and division of local churches in the country and the
diaspora. After a year leaders from different denominations have expressed
strongly against these teachings. Most of their arguments against Chris
Oyakhilome was based on clips from youtube or some references to materials
translated into Romanian. A single study was conducted in November 2010 without
Radu Gheorghe on "proclamations of faith" (see doc "Radu
Gheorghe's comments on proclamations of faith" and doc Appendix Chapter VI
"Radu Gheorghe's position on the proclamations of Pastor Chris").
Pray and fast movement of the guard was called to express
their position regarding Chris Oyakhilome and his teachings. In early December
2010, in Communication Movement guard guard was affirmed by Chris Oyalhilome
independence movement.
Reserve, distancing and ultimately rejecting the teaching of
Chris Oyakhilome by leaders of evangelical churches in Romania and the
Diaspora continued and intensified.
I think these leaders founded position and shows you what
the study will make this statement.
This study express a personal view, is not exhaustive and
hope that it will cause other workers to investigate the teachings of
evangelical Chris Oyakhilome.
Part I
Damning, challenging Chris Oyakhilome
Oyakhilome's writings which are commonly found shocking
statements that seem bizarre, out-
of the ordinary. Rhapsody In reality, proclamations of faith,
ChristEmbassy blogs and sites, in videos on the Internet often meet challenges
of Oyakhilome.
"Our words, like his Lord words have creative
ability,"
"This is one of the secrets of a life without worries:
to know that, indeed, your words can create the reality you want to see in your
life according to God's will for you. All you have to do is to think and utter
the word. "
"Anything in life or no life, is intelligent, so you
can talk to the body, home, car, job or even your bank account, you can make
changes through your words."
"Many have mistakenly believed that it was God who
allowed Satan to strike him and make him suffer like Job can humble it. This is
not true! Fear of Job was his problem! "
"There can be infected by any disease in my body
because I no longer live because of the blood flowing through me. I live in the
Spirit! "
"When we get to heaven, we will not find the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit sit on thrones different, but we find the one sitting in
the fullness of God on the throne, and his name is Jesus."
"You know that you are the Word of God? When you're
born again, you were born by the Word of God. "
"A Christian and a sinner ignorant have the same kind
of life."
"And now that I was raised with Him and I were seated
with Him in heavenly places, death, failure and disease have no power over us,
we live in Him now and forever!"
"He is the head, we are flesh. Head and body have the
same name. The Bible says that we are Christ. "
"When we speak is like him."
"God does not say never."
"Your life began when you became a new creation in
Christ, a superfiinta, superior devil, uh, top sin."
"And then he died and became a
prisoner of Satan. So he was taken to Hell. He was taken to hell as a man,
representative of all humanity. "
"Jesus defeated Satan and cohorts Hell Holy Spirit
power. No, the Holy Spirit left. He went to hell alone. Father did not go with
him. Holy Spirit did not go with him. For the first Adam was defeated by Satan.
Holy Spirit was not with him. The Father was with Him. Therefore the second
Adam had to fight with Satan at the same level. "
"Now understand this thought. When God raised Jesus
from the dead, he became ... What? A new creation (a new creation). He was born again by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Bible. "
"Your past is gone, the glory of God! Your past is
gone! You have heard what I said? The day you became a Christian, everything
you were and you did before being Christian, passed and there was never! "
"Well, yes I said God is angry with us when we sin.
It's true! "
"If you're a Christian (a new creation), you are not a
descendant of Adam and Eve. The day you said that Jesus Christ is Lord of your
life, you were separated from the first Adam, God has immediately translated
into the kingdom of the Son or you! "
Allegations are shocking and those close to Chris
Oyakhilome:
"The reason difuyarea TV is to serve each of you
spiritually and physically. And how did this happen? How you served?
You listen to the man of God and listen to the man of God
when you listen to God. "
All the above statements are attached.
An admirer of Chris Oyakhilome said he made such statements
to provoke the listener, and open to understanding the teaching that gives and
him who receives it push the teaching on a higher spiritual level.
Oyakhilome is not free statements. He has a teaching
systematic, not original, and that all statements above have a role and a
well-defined.
Part II
New Creation's conception by Chris Oyakhilome
Center Chris Oyakhilome's teaching is "new
man". Man glorified, new creature, new creation - the new
creation.
A. How does someone become a new
creation?
For a man to become a new creature he must be
born again. First spirit is born again in Jesus. He died on the
cross for redemption, but was tormented in hell for our salvation. His
father left the man Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the second Adam, overcame the
devil and his angels in hell. He was then recreated in spirit
- born again in this new state was resurrected. All who are born again to
receive the same divine nature of Jesus. They are the new
creation.
This is the summary of Chris Oyakhilome message about
salvation that Jesus won it not cross, but in hell. (See doc
Appendix Chapter I, "Jesus was born again in Hell").
Serious is the following statement: "Now! Who
is a Christian? A Christian is not redeemed, is the fruit of Christian
redemption. Did you understand? We are the result of
redemption, we are not redeemed. " (See attached doc "Jesus born
again in Hell")
Chris Oyakhilome denies the redemptive work of Jesus on the
cross for me and you personally. Recognition of sin,
repentance and repentance have no role in salvation for Oyakhilkome.
All you have to do to receive salvation is to believe that Jesus rose from the
dead. (See doc Appendix Chapter I, "Jesus was born again in Hell")
Therefore Oyakhilome says Adamic nature and total separation
of all your past. The new birth. (See doc Appendix Chapter II "Separate
the first Adam")
He denies the reality of the flesh that Jesus asks us daily
crucifixion.
Doctrine that salvation was not completely done on the cross
but to hell and that Jesus was born again in hell, is not original but is found
in the Word Faith Movement - Word of Faith. (See doc Appendix Chapter III
"Word of Faith Movement - Word of Faith")
Oyakhilome's statement that for three days Jesus was
only human, is a denial of the divinity of Jesus, and contradicts the doctrine
of the Trinity.
To resolve this contradiction Oyakhilome modalistic adopt
the doctrine that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one and the same
person and his name is Jesus. This doctrine has its beginning in the 3rd
century by Sibellius. A modern form of modalism is onness Pentecostalism. He
says:
"When we get to heaven, we will not find the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit sit on thrones different, but we find the one
sitting in the fullness of God on the throne, and his name is Jesus." (Rap
Real December 23, 2010)
"Now look at verse 19, it says" go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit: "I was told the names
[plural] of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, but a name
for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And what is that name? Jesus!
How do we know this? For He said to baptize people, those who
believe in Him, in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit and He gave the
apostles command. We find this in the book of Acts. They
always [when they named] said they were baptized in the name of Jesus, which
means they have responded to what Jesus said. They knew the name of
Jesus was the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is very
important. "(See Chapter IV Annex doc" Chris Oyakhilome adherent
of modalism, rejects the doctrine of the Trinity ")
Therefore Oyakhilome says that hell was just the man Jesus,
without Father and Holy Spirit, as in modalism, the Son is a divine existence.
In all ages went to battle for the truth of the gospel, that
Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God, God bless!
Two. What are the attributes of the new creation?
How you live in the fullness of new ientitati?
How does a Christian live and enjoy the status of being the
new creation? What are the hallmarks of the new creation Oyakhilome, glorified
man?
Here's a summary of statements
Oyakhilome:
Born again Christian, by studying and meditating on God's Word get rid of ignorance, knows the true identity and rights granted by God through Jesus Christ His dwelling in man. Thus the Christian is born again by the Word of God and is God's Word. Through regeneration man receives an intrinsic power of God, you can use (in accordance with His will) you want and where God wants independent. Because Word is God, the man born again, new creation, may proclaim the Word in every circumstance of life and power that is inherent in it is used to create health, wealth, success, problem solving ...
Born again Christian, by studying and meditating on God's Word get rid of ignorance, knows the true identity and rights granted by God through Jesus Christ His dwelling in man. Thus the Christian is born again by the Word of God and is God's Word. Through regeneration man receives an intrinsic power of God, you can use (in accordance with His will) you want and where God wants independent. Because Word is God, the man born again, new creation, may proclaim the Word in every circumstance of life and power that is inherent in it is used to create health, wealth, success, problem solving ...
Reason that a Christian
suffering from disease, poverty and the relationship is to not proclaim and
reclaim what was already given. A
Christian who asked repeatedly healing prayer or God's help is ignorant,
and a Christian and a sinner ignorant living the same life as miserable. God
not allow trial and suffering for those born again, but Christians suffer
because they fear and negative thoughts. One way to banish fear and
negative thoughts is to cultivate a positive mind. The positive
Christian proclamations bring into being, by an act of creative things
that God has decided to man glorified: perfect health, wealth, success,
excellence in all aspects of life. God has fulfilled his dream of
creating now, in this world into the likeness of His glorified sons.
We analyze the teaching of new creation as found in the
proclamations of faith, Rhapsody realities of conferences and messages that
have translated and attached to this study.
- Born again Christian has "inherent power"
"In John 5:26 we are told:" For as the Father
has life in Himself, so He gave the Son to have life in himself.
"Likewise, if you are born again and received the Holy Spirit, life
that is in you is the same kind of life is in God and the power you need comes
not from above, but lives in you and there by itself. You can use this power
whenever and wherever the glory of God, that is independent of any power and
does not need to be helped by men or angels or even God, because He has already
helped you, generating a in you through His Spirit. Realizing this you can
cause change in any field, ... "(Rhapsody realities July 4, 2011)
First, God gave His Son to have life in himself, as only God
the Father has, and has given the Son power to give life to whom he will. These
things do not apply to none other than the Son of God.
Secondly, it says Chris Oyakhilome here is a totally
independent of God, which is the essence of original sin. Jesus Himself says in
the same text: "The Son can do nothing of Himself" (John 5: 19,
repeated in 30). It is made entirely dependent not only father and tell him
what to do and Father is but the Father's will.
(This comment was made by Brother Joseph Ton)
Two. "Words can create the
reality you want to see"
"Our words, like his Lord words have creative ability,
because as he is are we in this world (1 John 4:17). No wonder the Bible says
that you have everything you say (Mark 11:23).
This is one of the secrets of a life without worries: to
know that, indeed, your words can create the reality you want to see in your
life according to God's will for you. All you have to do is to think and utter
the word. "(Real Rap October 3, 2011)
Real Rap similar texts found in November 7, 2010, February
17, 2011, May 8, 2011, July 20, 2011, August 10, 2011
Oyakhilome uses 1 John 4:17, Mark 11:23 and John 5:26 to
support the claim that the born again can be achieved by uttering the word,
just like Jesus. He says that God has placed within us a power intrinsic (cf.
par 1) that we use when we want, because in this world are like Jesus (1 John
4:17 pretext), any faith we say we will get (excuse Mark 11:23).
Looking at verses 1 John 4:17 and Mark 11:23 we see the
following:
1 John 4:17 as he is, so we are we in this world: thus it is
that love is perfected in us, to have full confidence in the judgment.
The context of 1 John 4:17 shows that we just love Him!
We are and will be limited and dependent on God in knowledge, resources, power,
paper ...
Fulfillment of the words they say to do when ask God in
prayer with thanks to faith, in the context of forgiveness. When we experience
the supernatural!
March 11:22 Jesus answered and said to them: "Have
faith in God!
March 11:23 Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this
mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea ", and if not doubt in
his heart, but believes that what he says will be, will be work required.
March 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever things you ask
when you pray, believe that ye receive them, and it will be.
11:25 And in March, while standing by to pray, to forgive
have anything against anyone, because your Father in heaven may forgive you
your trespasses.
March 11:26 But if not forgive, your Father in heaven will
not forgive you.
Three. Anything with life or without life, is intelligent
and must comply with the authority born again.
"Whatever the situation or circumstances where you are,
you can create change through your words of faith, as long as you do not doubt
in your heart. Anything with life or without life, is intelligent, so you can
talk to the body, home, car, job or even your bank account, you can make
changes through your words. "(Real Rap February 17, 2011)
"Then, in Mark 11:23, He said you have what you say.
This means that you have the ability to speak any thing. He has invested with
authority to speak words of life more than anything, because all they are smart
enough to respond to your words. "(Rap Real October 24, 2011)
Oyakhilome says that inanimate things have intelligence, and
in this they must obey human authority expressed in words. The concept that
inanimate things have specific intelligence is animism and Judeo-Christianity
is foreign. Jesus clearly said that we get things required by the prayer of
faith, not by speaking words:
March 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever things you ask
when you pray, believe that ye receive them, and it will be.
Four. Ignorance is removed
through meditation
"There are three levels of meditation: the first level
starts you meditate in silence and think about what you heard or studied the
Bible, that word of God who inspired you. The second level is when you begin to
whisper the word! At this level, your lips move, utter the word slowly to yourself.
The third level of meditation involve speaking aloud. Sometimes you may need to
shout what you received from God's Word in order to silence any voices or
thoughts of doubt and disbelief. "(Rap Real June 14, 2011)
Meditation on the Word of God was and is an important
spiritual discipline of the Church. But repeating words until "is
silencing any voices or thoughts" blocks rational thought process and is
common practice (mantra) in Eastern mysticism (new age movement). Jesus says
the opposite: "When you pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathen,
which they think, if I say a lot of words will be heard." (Matthew 6:7)
The concept of removing ignorance by meditation practice is
regasete in Eastern mysticism and is reaffirmed in the New Age. In the pagan
religions suffering is due to illusion, ignorance that the body is real (see
Oyakhilome's statement that we are totally separate from the Adamic nature), as
disease, poverty and all the problems are real (Oyakhilome says all these
things as real nut we have to say the opposite of their proclamations
positive). New Age followers say this is just an illusion (maya) of mind. Yes,
actually they say that we are superior being - self glorified. To do this you
need to meditate (in a manner identical to that recommended by Oyakhilome). The
difference is only the words used. When going light (shamady in Sanskrit) and
understand that your self is in fact God.
Oyakhilome says that the Christ is born again (see Chapter
VII Annex doc "Who is Christian Oyakhilome" and Chapter VIII
"When you listen to the man of God listening to God")
Five. Job was guilty of an
attempt by the past.
"Many have mistakenly believed that it was God who
allowed Satan to strike him and make him suffer like Job can humble it. This is
not true! Fear of Job was his problem! ...
Job spirit of fear allowed him to grab the heart! Despite
the protection of God upon his life, acknowledged even by Satan, in Job 3:25-26
Job wept, saying: "What I fear, that happens to me, why I'm afraid, so I
hand "(Job 3:25-26). Job's problem was his fear, and fear prevents faith.
"(Rap Real February 8, 2011)
Job 1: 9-12 and Job 2:3-7 shows the trials and sufferings of
Job were allowed by God. Job 3:25-26 words are uttered in the midst of terrible
suffering and enduring.
Oyakhilome's followers requires thinking and speaking only
positive in every situation of life, to have health, wealth and perfect
protection. It excludes the possibility that God allowed suffering in the life
of the believer. He said that who is a Christian accept this ignorant and
"A Christian and a sinner ignorant will have the same kind of life."
(See Chapter V Annex doc "High Life Conference USA")
July. Can not be infected by any disease in my body
"There can be infected by any disease in my body
because I no longer live because of the blood flowing through me. I live by the
Spirit "(proclamation of faith 7)
"Therefore nothing should be wrong in your body,
because the Spirit of God living creature assure us, not blood." (Rap
Real, June 13, 2011)
Everyone who dies suffers a major hemorrhage if the bleeding
stops. Both the Old and New Testament says that life is in the blood. In
Oyakhilome's conception, man is born again with upper superfiinta disease, evil
and sin.
August. You know that you are God's Word?
"You know that you are the Word of God? When you're
born again, you were born by the Word of God. This means that your destiny is
to be in reality the Holy Word of God, because you were born by the word of
God. (Site Christembassy - http://www.christembassy.org/en/mediaministry/?p=546 )
Only Jesus is called God's Word Biblie.Nici an apostle or
the first century Christians did not receive this name.
September. Danger doctrine Chris Oyakhilome on new growth
lies not only in the fact that the exegesis of the biblical text he brings
texts out of context, but it adds new meaning for which there is text (also
called insegeza). Theological analysis without recommendations made by Radu
Gheorghe on "proclamations of faith" (see attached doc - Radu
Gheorghe's comments on proclamations of faith and Appendix Chapter VI
"Radu Gheorghe's position on the proclamations of Pastor Chris").
Part III
Life of holiness in the conception of Chris
Oyakhilome
There are many quotes by Chris Oyakhilome of the following
type:
And now that I was raised with
Him and I were seated with Him in heavenly places, death, failure and disease
have no power over us, we live in Him now and forever! Hallelujah. Remember, you're not an ordinary
person, but belong to a special class of divine beings - "people - that -
I have - the - Christ - in - them!" This is your hope for abundant life
that you have received one, which is miraculous and eternal. (Real Rap
November 28, 2010)
"Now! Who is a Christian? A Christian is not
redeemed, is the fruit of Christian redemption. Did you understand?
We are the result of redemption, we are not redeemed. We are the
result of redemption. Redemptive work of Christ was fulfilled and God
resurrected. And we thought and we become a new creation in Christ, with a new
way of life. We are a new creation, a new species of fiinnte, one that
has never existed before. Your past is gone, the glory of God! Your
past is gone! You have heard what I said? The day you became
a Christian, everything you were and you did before being Christian, passed and
there was never!
Your life began when you became a new creation in
Christ, a superfiinta, superior devil, uh, top sin. Alooo! Are
you ready for a miracle right now? Wherever you get ready to put the
word work. "(See Chapter I Appendix doc" Jesus born again in Hell
")
What is the position of Chris Oyakhilome of sin and that he
recommended a born again Christian, that higher superfiinte sin to do when you
still had sinned?
Oyakhilome's blog (vesi doc Appendix Chapter IX "The
position of Chris Oyakhilome of sin and wrath of God) we find the following:
"Elvis (Cameroon): Dear Pastor Chris, I watched one of your messages on network
television LCN TV and you said there
that God is not mad at us when we sin, but I study the Old Testament book of
Judges and I met many times when the Bible says: "And the wrath of the
Lord was kindled against the people."
Is this something that is specific only to the Old Testament? Thanks, and God
bless you.
Answer 5: Well, yes, I said that
God is not mad at us when we sin. This is true, He is angry because
there is a plan ready before your sin cares.
He is not angry with us but
he really is angry at you - you attract his wrath or anger - they reject this
provision, the care of His side. So
here is where you get into trouble, because there is no sin that can not be
covered by the blood of Jesus - washing the blood of Jesus permanently deleted.
There is no sin without remedy, no cure. About this is it. See,
every sin is washed by the blood of Jesus and if you reject what He has
provided for your sins, then draw anger, wrath of God, because you do not have
options. But when sin, He is angry because you have sinned and do not
get angry at you because he knows that you can overcome this as a Christian -
and so should you! "
I think this position Chris Oyakhilome as particularly dangerous.
It opens the possibility to those who sin willfully sin or just solve the
problem by raising awareness of sin and confession. He believes that
restoration of fellowship with God is automatic. Man is in control of his
spiritual life, he is superfiinta, the new species is practically absolves
himself of sin with a simple acknowledgment and confession that "Jesus'
blood washes him of any sin."
Therefore Oyakhilome says this:
"One might then
ask:" What if I did something wrong the day before? Can I take the Lord's Supper? "Yes! In
fact, in these times of greatest need and the Lord's Supper.
If you're wrong, admit it and
accept the forgiveness of God. When you
accept His forgiveness think you were cleansed from all iniquity and remember
that you are one with Him. "
Oyakhilome rejects repentance and penance as having a role
in the restoration of fellowship with God, france by sin, although they should
know that "The wages of sin is death!"
Part IV
Generations
It is worth admiration and fascination Christembassy church
members and those who attend a conference Chris Oyakhilome to develop it. They
say he is "The Man of God" - "Man of God", that has a great
anointing as the miracles of healing he as not been done before, that is one of
the greatest people of God in our generation.
These statements were made in other generations. In his
introduction to the book "Your Rights in Christ" is written by Chris
Oyakhilome (See Chapter X doc Appendix "A link between generations -
Branham Osborn Oyakhilome"):
"We are indebted to TL
Osborn $ Daisy and Oral & Evelyn Roberts, whose lives and ministry have
impacted us the most extraordinary way." Chris and Anita Oyakhilome
There is a bond between William Branham, TL Osborn and Chris
Oyakhilome. They lived in different times but have passed from one to another,
and teaching "anointing" that Oyakhilome forward who come to
conferences for leaders.
TL Osborn, author of "Paul's thorn" and Oral
Roberts were admirers and friends of William Branham.
The head doc Annex X TL Osborn's message read at the funeral
of William Branham, who was incarnate for Osborn again in our generation, of
God!
How can the teachings of Branham and Osborn to continue to
be spread? By Oyakhilome!
They know few details about the private life of Chris
Oyakhilome. But we know his fascination with church members have towards him.
Have the same attitude and very close by (see Appendix Chapter XI Anita
Oyakhilome doc about her husband):
"Holland
are ready for Pastor? (Cheers)
When you are ready, will be in your body heat will be a
fire in your bones will be hunger in your mouth. You know you're
hungry after the man of God. Time is short. I think the
pastor coming soon. Thank God. "
Part V
Conclusions
A. The danger posed by deception believers in the teachings
of Chris Oyakhilome is real. Pastors and church leaders must draw a warning for
brothers and sisters who serve. I appreciate those brothers who work on blogs,
Internet and personal brotherhood warned about this danger. I think it's
necessary to make a commission to investigate in depth the effects of teaching
and influence of Chris Oyakhilome in Romania and Romanian Diaspora,
leading to a joint survey to be distributed in local churches.
Two. Guard movement, in which I have served since its inception
almost six years ago, will fulfill their mandate and regaining credibility as
regards the work of prayer and fasting for revival, if we humble individual and
corporate, we will repent and ask forgiveness of God and brothers because we
allowed that some of these teachings to be spread between us and through us.
I think the truth will prevail and God's Word Jesus' body in
Romania
will heal.
Shalom

He also said the issue should not be regarded as his personal opinion but as
a resolution from the Bible concerning it.
Pastor Chris, as he is popularly called, was reacting to more questions from members of the public who seemed to be confused about the story going round that he declared that masturbation is not a sin.
As reported in P.M.NEWS weeks ago, the Pastor said the act in itself was not a sin against God but that Satan uses it to oppress people of God making them feel ineffective an inefficient in the things of God.
He also said God is not offended by the practice but by any habit that takes hold of one’s mind and this had resulted in widespread condemnation.
In a recently posted video in which he reacted to many questions emanating from his previous teaching on masturbation, Pastor Chris maintained that people should rather see the issue from biblical perspective rather than seeing it as his personal opinion.
While answering a question from one Timothy based in Russia, who said he was confused by the teaching about masturbation not being a sin because there is no way one can effectively masturbate without having evil thoughts, Pastor Chris said the first question that should come to mind in the issue is: “what is sin?
“What I find in many Christians is that not many of them even have an understanding of the concept; what is sin.”
He referred the public to one of his teachings on the concept of sin, saying it would help the people understand what sin really is, adding that “sin is not what we say it is but what God says it is.”
Reading out an another question from a Zambian, who said the Pastor’s previous teachings had inspired him, but wondering why he actually taught that masturbation was not a sin, Pastor Oyakhilome asked the Zambian to bother himself more with what the Bible said about it.
He asked: “Why are you concerned with whether I said it or I did not say it? The question is, what does the Bible say?
“Have you ever studied the Word for yourself? Now whatever you think, the first thing you should do is to go to the word of God and study it for yourself.”
Using an illustration, he said: “if a man stole a loaf of bread from a shop and ate it, does that mean that eating of bread is sin?
“Where was his wrong? Did he go wrong because he ate bread? Does that mean that eating of bread is wrong?
“The problem is not the eating of bread. The problem is that he stole the bread that he ate.”
He emphasised that Jesus actually said whoever looks at another woman lustfully has committed adultery in his heart, adding that means “the sin was committed in the heart.
“If you say that imagination goes with masturbation, then where is the sin?
“The sin is therefore your imagination of sin,” he added.
He further quoted Matthew 15 verse 16 saying that out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts.
In analysing it therefore, the Pastor said: “it is not what you did with your hand that is the problem; it is what caused whatever you did. That means your sin begins from your heart.
“Jesus makes us know it is not what you did with your hand that is the problem; it is what you did with your heart.
“You can have these imaginations while reading a book, you can have these wrong imaginations while eating your food.
“So the evil conceptions of your heart is where you got a problem, so what do you clean-your hands or your heart?”
He however advised that it is not compulsory for people to accept something because someone said it, but that they should get materials that would help them to understand such issues better.
