After
putting Anita, his wife, at the fore front of his Church activities for years,
Oyakhilome has express regrets; saying it is unbiblical, and it’s ungodly to
elevate woman in church or call them Pastor/Mummy. If you are married to a
man of God, it doesn’t make you automatically mature. You can make
mistakes; you can do something that is wrong.
But
some people expect the wife of a minister to definitely be at the level of that
minister and so they may be looked upon and the expectation may be like that,
but it’s a positional thing. “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.” “You have to
understand something about a man of God. A man of God is not just someone who
worships God or preaches God. A man of God is handpicked by God, set on course
by God. If you study the scriptures, you will not find one man of God go
against God, sinning against God. “The only things you might find will be a man
of God, maybe in two different kinds of ways. Moses, for example; when he
struck the rock twice, [he] was provoked by the anger of the people. [It was]
not because he wanted to do something against the Lord. “No man of God does
something against the Lord. “Are you hearing me? A man of God is set on a
course; there is a type of life that he is given. Then you have a young man, a
young prophet; he wasn’t named; he was deceived by another man of God and so he
went in a direction that God said ‘don’t go’.
