Pastor Chris Okafor of Grace Nation International’s Christian lifestyle has become a topic of interest after he was called out by actress Doris Ogala.
Recall that the Nollywood star alleged that she left her previous marriage at Okafor’s insistence and accused him of betraying her after years of intimacy and repeated assurances of marriage.
Amid the ongoing controversy, some netizens dug up old videos of the pastor’s past associations with other prominent religious figures.
One of the videos that has captured attention online was the one involving Bishop David Abioye of Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly.
The video circulating online showed the moment Abioye arrived at Okafor’s church in a long motorcade.
Another video showed the bishop during a prayer session applauding Okafor for allowing God to use him and becoming a channel of blessing to others.
“I count it a very great honour to be invited to be part of this Breakforth Conference of the dearly beloved servant of God, Dr. Chris Okafor. The Lord bless you. The Lord bless you, and the Lord bless you for allowing God to use you as a blessing to others. Every seed you sow to bless people will be fully returned to you, in the precious name of Jesus.
The Lord who has brought me this far will take you very far. Whatever good thing He has done for me, He will do for you, and beyond,” Abioye said.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that the Founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, also trended over an old video where he testified about Okafor’s commitment and dedication to God, which resurfaced online.
The KICC leader, while addressing Okafor’s congregation during a service, described him as a fantastic pastor who is humble and truly loves God.
