The marriage between the popular Reverend Chris Okotie and his wife Stephanie has ‘crashed’ four years after the couple tied the knot.
Sources say the funky pastor dramatically announced the shocking news to his Household of God Church congregation today.
‘Stephanie and I are no longer married. We have separated. You can see she’s not in church today. It’s due to irreconcilable differences and you should please respect our wishes at this time because there is no going back’, the three-time presidential candidate reportedly announced during service.
Okotie will be divorcing for the second time.
Stephanie has now been married three times and has three children from her first two marriages.

All these so called men of God sef..*lips sealed*
shut up feyi. It can happen to anyone at all. Everyone’s always looking for someone to judge
W̶̲̅α† d hell is irreconcilable differences???..is he №† Δ manof God can’t he pray against it…dis man is just unbeliavable..W̶̲̅α† wuld he teach in his marriage clases nw?
That’s a sad news,i will advice him to search for good mentor in christ for delivrance,i pray God will touch him to go to scoan for delivrance to reconcile his relationship with God and to witness the powerof God for salvation of his soul.
@all contributors,I want to sound it loud and clear to yo
u that every Man needs an obedient partner.
For Stephanie to have been married to three men
in the past and divorced them,it means that she is
not a marriage material.
Lets us not blame pastor okotie for the separation.
May be he has tried to amend issues but the
woman keeps on with her rude life.
So as a man of God,he needs to let her Go so that
she will not lead him into temptations.
Bless You All.
Uzoma
l am not suprised, since the he saw light in politice, he can as well get into another marriage. In Politics, one can change into another party. So, okotie change woman. Is normal human nature!
Why divorcing women anyhow? He know the Words of God enough to know that man needs a lot and lots of endurance, tolerance, peace and love to be with a woman forever! God will help him.
Wat a joke nt man enof
the man is not a true man f God cause he has nothing to prove it, imagine a man of God divorced twice
Hahahahahahahaha…that’s all I can do. Till I have the full giSt on why they broke up
I will advice him to vissit the Adoration Ministry Enugu(Rv. Fr. Ejike C Mbaka)for counciling and deliverance.
Interesting. . .
Very interesting. . .
The man just likes to change women, and as for the lady, I don’t see what an African woman that’s been married twice with 3 kids is looking for in a 3rd marriage. She should take her joy in her children & see how happy she will be. I know a lot of women who come out of bad marriages & live for their kids, my mum being one of them.

Remember, GOD HATE DIVORCE
Its funny and also unbelievable. I personally do not want to judge. But i am explictly saying that he is not a man of God. He knows no word of God. He has no idear on Gods view of marriage.
As far as am concerned, his career has crashed as his marriage crashes for the second time.
This is a bad example of marriage. what do he want to tell others in the church. he is stil a member in the church and nt pastor no what.
UZOMA, for the fact that bible says he that marry a divorcee commits adultry (Matthew 19:9) is enough truth to tell him that their marriage was wrong in the first place. He should watch his life and amend his ways and repent for lying on the SPIRIT of GOD, bcos he said HOLY SPIRIT led him into the marriage
Nawa ooo… There is excuse 4 him to divorce her, it is a very bad example. na so person dey divorce?
Well, I want to think that those people who posted messages condenming Rev Chris Okotie are either not married or married but people with retired sense of reasoning. Its always a quick one to make condenming conclusions, jus pray life dosn’t bring you to that point, because people like Rev Chris Okotie may just be an occasion for you to think and pray. Check the man’s record and you agree he has been a man who has always wanted to do the right thing,he is a true man of God whether his marriage ends or not. Marriages are only contracted, successful, terminated only hear on earth. So please be wise loose tongues.
is he nt aware of d biblical quote dat “A man shld nt divorce his wife, nd if he does he’s nt 2 marry anoda 1 bcs if does he has commited adultry against her”. May God help us
hmmmm may God help him
rev Chris wat is d problem,ur marriage life is sad!!!it does not speak well of us as Christians
God what is happing to our world a man of God i cant belive this
Na r days pastor r nt pastor dey just do it 2 make name nd money
People like Chris Okotie should not be leading God”s people. Men of God who do not respect and obey the command of the one they are serving. How can a pastor ignore scriptural passages and is bold to come out and announce to his congregation that he has divorced his wife. I weep for this church because any man or woman can wake up any day and announce he has divorced his wife or husband. If this is true, then this is bad omen for the church.
If he has divorced twice, then he has a problem.
If that is true then he is not fit to be a pastor because the qualification for that position is that he should be able to manage his home. It is obvious that he cannot mange his home well hence twice divorced.
I will not agree with the saying that a man and/or
a woman should not pray before getting married;
because most of the time, it leads to problems such as
this.People quote the marriage of Isaac wrongly
saying that he just married his wife, but as forgotten
the fact that his father prayed, as well as the servant
who was sent to get the woman. If anything goes wrong
(beyond control) in a marriage where the couple sought
the face of God, then they have not prayed with a
sincere heart.God was emphatic when He said
“I HATE DIVORCE.” MALACHI 2:16
When we are making comments, we do gently bcose it could happen to any one. What happen to the MOG, is really a moment for him to rethink and retrace his path. He should go and reconcile with his former wife whatever because that is his wife biblically. The history of the two husband of Stephenie, should have made him not to even near her, except if the husbands were dead. I humbly submit!!
Pastor Chris, i just can not imagine how two grown up
adult like can not keep marriage, how come young
couple in your church are able to do that.
well you know the best, but please if u cannot marry
stop going into any part time relationship.
4 me marriage is not do or die if u can not handle d situation leave it period but b/4 u get married prepare ure self well pray over it
There is a time for every thing under heaven. Its unfortunate things like this happens to the Church JESUS bought with his Blood. “let them grow together…“ Jesus once exhort His followers. Friends, let us pray less we fall into temtation.
Guys don’t belem d man of God,its between him and God,remember what happened to miriam and Aaron in d book of numbers 12 from 1 to 16,if u don’t know let me tell u a tip,miriam is moses sister she was agiast moses marriage to a Ethiopia woman and God was angry y will miriam judge his prophet leave it for God don’t say he is a man of God for that reason
God help uS dis world is changing.y rev okotie
is only God dat knows who is realy serving him, lets nt judge him.
Pastor chris sorry if I may say but still look back to those make up stories you dropped to the public about prophet Tb Joshua, who knows they might be the things hurting now.
Both of dem need intensive counseling
“a man/woman shld nt divorce his wyf/husband unless he/she is caught red-handed commiting adultery nd d divorcee shld nt re-marry till whoever he/she divorce dies,gbam#”
Pst pls,dis is an opotunity for u to go back to ur 1st wife,so dt God wil make all things right in ur life.Dn’t be discoragd, just luk 2 God 4 dvin directn & he wil see u thru if u ar sincere.
God has a standard for those he called. All Christian
should submit to the devine call of God. When there is an
issues in your place of work, you inform your MD or CEO.
Believers should learn to go to God for advice and not
ourselves.
Let him that think he stand take hide.
Brethern, do not look at man to manage your marriage but
unto God. Leaders come and go but the word of God is
unchanged by leaders fault. Beware of the sin’s of leaders.
i just hope d marriage is being dissolved on d premise of adultery…dats d only admissible reason for divorce and perhaps re-marriage sanctioned by God irreconciliable differences or not…well i’m sure he knows it!!!
what examples will he show to his members after putting assunder what God has joined.
I dn’t believe in divorce and marriage is for better for worse no matter what. *Pastor for dat matter nawoo…
Oh! not again! There ‘re certain pple whom ‘re not just lucky when it comes to marriage.
Only God can tel who day save ham
not like I’m judging him. I think he should leave by example. I don’t knw how he me expect to behave. To marry and divorc marry again n divorce. He should step down as a head pastor. What is he going to preached to me 2morrow. He has fail the most influential pillas of Christianity. Marrying and divorce
The scripture tells us to cut off any part of us that may hinder us to make heaven, May be Stephanie is that bad part for Okotie to cut off.
But let me ask, why did Rev. Okotie go for a Divorcee who has Chrilden for other husbands?
Let us just pray 4 him, i dont want to judge, only God knws…..?
Perharps his grammar wz 2much 4her 2bear.But come 2tnk of it him twice while d wife 3times now.They were nt suited for each oda b4.
I thank God 4 my marriage of over ten years cos its not by power nor by might…Rev. Chris n Steph D Almighty God wil uphold both of u IJN.
Hmmm,,,,maybe the lady is a case study,,he dat wears the shoe knows where it pinches it
The truth is always bitter but still the best, Rev. Go back 2 ur 1st lov and reconcil dats a good place 2 start from and God’ll help u.
The Bible made it clear to all who are called christians about marriage,once married there is no divorce whatsoever,because Jesus christ says i(jesus)hate divorce.
secondly,under any condition, jesus say we should forgive.The same Bible tells us in the begining God made them both male and female, also that a man should leave his father and mother and join to his wife and become one.My father in the Lord sorry to say this but STEPHINIE IS NOT YOUR WIFE BIBLICALLY SPEAKING, YOUR FIRST WIFE NEEDS YOUR HUMBLE APOLOGY FOR DIVORCING HER THEN YOU TAKE HER BACK INTO LIFE AND YOU WILL SEE THE NEXT LEVEL OF GOD GLORY BOTH IN YOUR LIFE AND MINISTRY.THANK YOU AND MAY GOD GIVE YOU THE GRACE AND MIND TO HEAR AND OBEY HIM
U can pastor, prophet yet needs deliverance. Marry & remarry is not plan of God of his children. I think pastor christ deliverance. & particular there is need 4 deliverance b4 gettin marriage. (my advice 2 him & his divorce wife is 2 go synagogue church 4 deliverance)
