Breaking his silence on the allegations
of adultery reportedly levelled against him by her, he described them as
“frivolous charges.”
Oyakhilome also lamented that the media had been writing all sorts of “stupid things” about him and his marriage.
He said, “You don’t know who a man of
God is. I don’t go in that direction. I wasn’t accused of the things you
said, nor did I commit those stupid things that you said and I don’t
need to go into that level in such discussions. Jesus Christ was accused
by many – a lot of frivolous charges. There will always be those who
would like for it to be true. But you know, in spite of the accusations
against Jesus, it didn’t change who he was. It didn’t change him.
“There are preachers and there are men
of God. I am not a preacher; I am a man of God and I go in the way I’m
asked to go. It may cause some troubles with individuals but that’s not
because I have done something wrong and when it comes to Reverend Anita,
what I will say to you is ‘pray for her.’
TheCable added that Oyakhilome, who
appeared visibly disturbed during his first few minutes on stage,
acknowledged that divorce was unbiblical but suggested he could consider
the option should his wife insists on it.
He recalled that Jesus passed through
similar travails and eventually overcame. He said that although so many
people were making mockery of him, he would remain steadfast and not
lose focus.
“If a man of God is married, it doesn’t
automatically mean that the wife of a man of God is therefore a woman of
God. That’s not the way it is in the Bible. That’s why you don’t really
find the wives of men of God mentioned in the Bible. How many of them?
Who was Peter’s wife, did you ever know her name? You never find that
out. Who was John’s wife? Did you ever read the name? What about all the
other Apostles? How many of their names are written in the Bible. You
never find their names.
