The founder of Christ Embassy, also known as Love World, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has addressed the reasons behind the departure of several prominent gospel artists from the church.
Renowned singers such as Sinach, Frank Edwards, Joe Praize, and Eben have all left the ministry, sparking widespread speculation over the years.
In a recent video circulating online, Pastor Oyakhilome shared insights into the situation, shedding light on the controversies surrounding the exits of these gospel stars.
He said, “Why did it happen? The church was turned into a party place, not a place of prayer 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.”
“I did at the beginning and celebrated them, but when I changed, they refused to change with me, so I had to let them go.
“God was getting my attention, telling me this was not the way. I told them the Lord wanted us to do the right thing.
“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,” he stated.
