Many claimed they left due to restrictions on ministering outside Christ Embassy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For instance, as Sinach\u2019s international music ministry grew, her presence at Christ Embassy became scarce, which allegedly displeased Oyakhilome.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_206833\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-206833\" style=\"width: 678px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/IMG_0293.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-206833\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/IMG_0293.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/IMG_0293.jpeg 678w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/IMG_0293-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-206833\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pastor Chris Oyakhilome<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is believed that Oyakhilome asked her to return and actively participate in the church\u2019s singing ministry to no avail. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In a viral video, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome explained that he stopped working with the singers because they were no longer celebrating God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">According to Oyakhilome, he tried to get them to change their ways, but they refused and stopped following him. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/02\/07\/deacon-famous-ties-the-knot-in-ghanaian-traditional-ceremony-ngozi-ezeonu-moses-bliss-others-present\/\">In his words:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cWhy did it happen? The church was turned into a party place, not a prayer place where God\u2019s word was truly celebrated\u2026they were not soul winners; they led praise in church, and when it was time for prayers, they were gone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The church lost its way of worship, everything changed, the music in the church became worldly, they danced for themselves, celebrated themselves not God, they charged for their singing, they became professionals making money from the church\u2026.and many pastors didn\u2019t know that this was the world coming into the church.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">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 and saying this is not the way. I told them the Lord wanted us to do the right thing\u2026they had become too popular and because they were making even little money\u2026.do they know what big money is? The little money they were making was too attractive to them, so they didn\u2019t want to follow me, so they made a detour\u2026.I hope they all repent\u2026..they are not worship leaders<\/span><span class=\"s1\">.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Watch video of Pastor Chris speaking below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFw5uvFstPr\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
