Chris Oyakhilome's ex-wife, Anita, writes on people who prey on others in the guise of winning souls

Pastor Anita Ebhodaghe, ex-wife of founder of
Christ Embassy Church, Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome has set tongues wagging with her
recent post on Soul Winning. Below is what she
wrote;

"When people talk about winning souls
these days, I feel absolutely concerned
for the so-called souls. It looks to me
like a lion on a breakfast mission, in
search for his hunt; he hides behind the
grass for an unwise lamb that would
wander away from the herd in search of
fresh grass. This will be an easy catch
and good feast for the lion’s plate,"
When I hear these people talk about winning
souls, I feel sorry for the souls who have no
idea of what they are getting into. It sometimes
sounds to me like blood-thirty people desperate
to count the number of innocent, ignorant
people who will give their blood to be sucked.

These souls are classified, as those who are
needy, can undoubtedly gullible in their search
for solutions and wanting to identify or belong
to a community.
These souls are caught when they are most
vulnerable maybe they have lost a loved one, in
a bad relationship with their parents or family,
in need of healing or desperate for a change. At
this point they will give anything and do
anything without a second thought.
When caught by the wrong hands, they will
start running in a wheel. Initially, the souls will
be treated with some measure of care, so they
do not detach. This will be short lived to
prepare them to be trained as unconscious
servants. Once the attachment is built, they
would start attending endless meetings till they
begin to be unavailable for their loved ones and
disassociate from their families over time.
These souls will eventually give their energy
away and with time they begin to feel tired,
unhappy, sick, financially drained and depleted.
Unknown to them, this new community and
friends maybe superficial. The souls might
observe that sweet and bitter method of
sucking their blood has gradually robbed them
of their self worth. They might realize they have
given their energy to somebody else and they
are now hanging in the spider's web.

They are tied up with daily and weekly
responsibilities but if you look closely, their
main leader is seating in a place of
convenience by handling brief monthly meetings
(not weekly) or occasional gatherings.
When I hear about souls, I have sympathy for
those who give their blood to be sucked. They
are simply prey to be used as objects in some
people's game. Incidentally, some of these
souls have become wiser in seeking the
opportunity to reap the reaper in his own game,
like the buffalo who challenges the tiger.

Mt 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will
enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one
who does the will of my Father who is in
heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day,
‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name
and in your name drive out demons and in your
name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell
them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me,
you evildoers!’
An aggressive soul winner is hungry like a
hunter; he goes with all manner of tools and
uses different technique to capture his prey.
An aggressive soul winner is like a fisherman
who uses a net. This method of fishing is solely
for material or commercial purposes. On the
other hand a fish can also be caught by using a
fishing rod with baits or lures impaled on the
hooks to entice any fish that venture near to
bite off the attractive bait. Unfortunately, if
caught by a commercial fisherman the fish is
not going anywhere after all that effort, it must
be eaten. However, if caught by a hobbyist, he
will admire the fish and put it back where it
belongs, in its natural habitat. Thank God for
regulatory organizations helping to stop brutal
killings of animals whether on land or sea.
Soul winning alone will not take you to heaven;
you win a soul by living the God life and your
personal interest in bringing somebody to the
knowledge of Christ. You have to be in a good
frame of mind first, not under fear or
compulsion that if you do not win souls you will
go to hell. There should be no ulterior motives
like getting the soul’s money eventually, you
want a position or seeking to be rewarded with
treats or awards. There are people who reach
out to others daily not for any earthly reward or
to direct the souls to their own churches, for
benefits or for any selfish reason. These
people recommend and make available other
authors, ministers and local assemblies for the
interest of the soul alone.
Every man should learn to take care of himself
first. He should learn to use his initiative and
study for himself otherwise he might become
somebody’s big catch or ‘meat’. At that point
he would have no one to blame.
I have written this for those who have asked
me questions on soul winning and their fears.
"And many false prophets will appear and
deceive many people. Because of the increase
of wickedness, the love of most will grow
cold, but the one who stands firm to the end
will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom
will be preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all nations, and then the end will
come." Mat 24:11-14"But mark this: There will
be terrible times in the last days. People will be
lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful,
proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents,
ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving,
slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not
lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
— having a form of godliness but denying its
power. Have nothing to do with such people."
2 Tim3:1-5.
