Criticising men of God attracts curses –Oyakhilome warns

Popular Nigerian televangelist and founder of Loveworld Incorporated, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has issued a stern warning to those who speak ill of ministers of God, saying such actions attract divine curses.

The clergyman made the statement during a sermon at his church, cautioning his congregation and the public at large to refrain from criticising pastors or other spiritual leaders.

According to Pastor Chris, ministers of God operate under divine authority, and their actions are ultimately accountable to God—not to men.

“Don’t criticise God’s people, especially ministers of the gospel,” he said. “Leave them alone. For the Bible says, whatever they do, they do unto the Lord. Don’t join anybody to criticise other ministers. There are curses against those who do.”

The message, now gaining traction online, with mixed reactions, with some supporting his call for restraint, while others argue that spiritual leaders must also be held accountable for their actions.
