In 2014, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s wife, Anita {who now goes by her maiden
name Ebhodaghe} made eyebrows raise when she filed for divorce in London
on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour”.
Pastor Chris remained in the news as his activities and that of his church, were
constantly being reported, but Anita had been quiet ever since.
Now, she is speaking.
Anita took to her blog ( www.pastoranita.org ) to share on her the changes in
her life and also made some serious references to her marriage.
She wrote:
It is my desire to reach out and inspire you
especially if you feel vulnerable and in need of a
change. I hope to inspire you to believe in
yourself no matter the circumstances. I want to
help you recreate your life going forward, so you
can live beautifully. I have been through this
journey of rediscovery and nothing is as beautiful
as realising one’s uniqueness as I have done.
Life is a precious however, your life can go
through different seasons: winter, spring, summer
or autumn. Life can hit you with financial loss,
disappointments, death of a loved one, a broken
relationship, loss of a job, a divorce, being falsely
accused or being a victim of crime. These can
shatter you to pieces but you can do something
about it.
Life is a gift from God and you deserve to be
happy irrespective of your age, race, gender,
background or financial situation. I urge you to
appreciate the gift you are, you are precious and
valuable. Never lose sight of who you are; begin
to create new visions and dreams for your life.
Let nothing stop you from growing every day. My
story is not one of a bed of roses, far from it but
I had a choice to either beat myself over the
regret of tolerating abuse for so long or put a
stop to the abuse and recreate my life for the
best. My journey was not in vain. I can now help
others realise that their situation does not define
them.
In order to move on with life, I have come to
realise that nothing is permanent. Your problem is
not permanent; you can do something to change it
by ensuring you do not allow the situation or the
person make your life miserable. Pain is a fact of
life, it is inevitable but suffering is optional. You
can do something to change the pain by over
looking every obstacle, take control as a force of
nature to grow and expand. Do what is necessary
now to use the gift God has given you to unleash
your purpose.
My message to all is simple: you have value
therefore discover your potential. Do not allow
anybody destroy you or rob you of living a joyful
life. Your life is not wasted; you have just started
a different phase of life. God will show you how
to use your testimony to help others and restore
their lives to exuberance. Please join me to
encourage and inspire others.
You have a story to tell, you can contribute and
participate in the dialogues here. Let us all learn
from one another’s experience and reach others
with the gift of love and kindness. Share your
experience by emailing me or making a comment.
Celebrate your uniqueness because there is only
one of you.
