Nigerian Christians have rose in anger in condemning the man they once saw as a role model.
“This is really disheartening,” said Ladele Bisi who wondered why the pastor had to announce the breakup on the altar.
“I am not trying to judge him because the Bible says I shouldn’t. But I would just say that he doesn’t seem to have the fruits of the Spirit which is long suffering. What could be the issue that was so irreconcilable that led to the break up?” Bisi said.
According to Reverend Godwin Ogbewekon of the Mekadishkem Ministry, Benin City, Edo State, southsouth Nigeria, “God hates divorce. It is wrong in the light of God’s word.”
Michael Adedapo argued that the breakup raises question about Okotie’s ambition to become Nigeria’s president. “If he cannot manage a mere woman, how can he preside over a country?” he said
.
“He said he married her for her beauty. So what do you expect? This is not an encouraging way to lead in church. How would he counsel people with marital problems?” James said.
According to Adeniyi, Okotie is no more qualified to preach anything concerning marriage.
A reader who identified himself as Panda reasoned that by divorcing his second wife, Reverend Okotie has not set a good example for those looking up to him.
According to Kennedy, Okotie is not qualified to be a worker in any church, much more a pastor.
Iphy said Okotie has no biblical understanding of the Book of Revelations he teaches.
“Those things that he taught his congregation were heretical, without any biblical foundation. That he spoke grammar that the congregation needed to look up in the dictionary is not evidence that he was teaching any biblical truth.

Rather, it is evidence that his teachings have no biblical foundation so he needed to confuse the people. Jesus preached in the language of the people such that even unlearned Peter and John understood the message and the message transformed their lives from fishermen to fishers of men,” said Iphy, echoing what others said. Okotie’s marriage break-up puts an end to dream twins that he expected Stephanie to deliver for him someday.
On 7 August, 2008, Okotie married Stephanie Henshaw, the woman he described as the most beautiful on earth, in a glamorous wedding attended by a horde of journalists and celebrities..
Okotie’s marriage to Stephanie was his second attempt at matrimonial life. He was first married to Tyna his long time friend, but the marriage packed up after 17 years without any child.
Okotie is another firebrand preacher that often sends his audience into ecstasy.
He is also known for televangelism, and for preaching the end times which he titles ‘The Apocalypsus.’
In his messages, Okotie always reveals his knowledge of the Book of Revelations beyond the ordinary and in a very complicated language which has prompted many to go to church with one or two dictionaries.
Should we blame him or rather pray for him? Let's discuss

Well, we may never know what really happened....All those who jump at every oppourtunity to condemn and judge others, Know that you have your own too and you will be judged aswell. Only the Righteuous and Perfect can judge.As Christians We are suppose to Pray for anyone who is Falling and not blame them because we might just be at the verge of our own fall too.Pray for Him and Don't condemn Him.
