It will be recalled that singers Sinach, Frank Edwards, Joe Praize, and Eben left the ministry, leaving many to speculate the reasons for their exit.

It was rumoured that they left because the church restricted them from ministering outside Christ Embassy.

However, contrary to these speculations Oyakhilome, in a recent video circulating online, gave the real reasons, bordering on self-glorification and lack of true worship of God.

“Why did it happen?” the charismatic  cleric asked.  “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.”

Oyakhilome deplored the change of worship in the church, which was reduced to personal celebrations than true worship.

He accused the artists of commercialising their talents, charging fees for their performances, and allowing secular influences to infiltrate the church’s music.

“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,” Oyakhilome further said.

“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.”

Christ Embassy, a leading church in Nigeria, is known to have nurtured and promoted many of today’s gospel artists n the country.
