Catholic Church Corrupts The Gospel Of Christ- Chris Okotie

Rev. Chris Okotie needs no introduction. He is a pastor and politician. He is the Senior pastor at the Household of God Church.


Well, the man who is not afraid of controversy has hit the catholic Church again. In an interview with Punch, he said the Catholic Church corrupts the gospel of Christ. Hear him :

You recently stirred up controversy when you said Catholics would go to hell. Why did you say that?

It is because the church perverts the gospel of Jesus Christ and that perversion is located in the leadership. Even as Pope Francis recently announced. However, there are many good Christians within the Catholic Church who are not aware of the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, that has substituted Mary for Jesus, in what is known as the hyperdulia of the Virgin Mary. Salvation for them is not through Jesus alone but in accordance with what Pope Francis recently announced to the world. That, in itself, is a direct violation of the sanctity of the scriptures.

The man who went on to talk about his many cars and the amount he spent buying them sounded a bit vain when he was asked:

With your love for luxury automobiles, what message are you sending to your church members? Do you think Nigerians would even want to vote for someone with ostentatious lifestyle? 

Our faith is predicated on the finished work of the Cross of Jesus Christ. It is vindicated by his resurrection from the dead. And it is crystallised when we personally appropriate his blood through faith.  My life is a trajectory of faith and commitment to divine servitude.  It is proof that the veracity of scripture cannot be impeached, that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. That is why 27 years ago I had nothing, but through a progressive application of the word of God, I have appropriated soul prosperity and material blessings. That is why I was able to pay N33m for the Range Rover Autobiography 2014 Executive and just over N120m for the Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe 2014 bespoke edition; to mark the occasion of 30 years of being a Christian and 27 years of being the pastor of the Household of God Church. 30 years is symbolic because it is reminiscent of the baptism of the lord Jesus at the River Jordan at the age of 30.  Prosperity is an integral part of the gospel. It is not an end in itself. It is the authentication and the validation of the acceptance of the Melchizedek priesthood of our lord Jesus Christ

So far, he is yet to win any election even though he said God asked him to run for Presidency. Did I hear you wonder when God's words started failing... lol. You will notice that when asked about his failure in politics, his answer was short but when it was about cars and the Catholic church, he went on and on...
