“
I am writing this to everyone with a heavy heart. It is heart wrenching
to see the way people are referring to Rev Anita and how uncultured
people are while talking. You don’t need to be derogatory or
condescending to express yourself no matter your level as a christian.
First I would join true Christians around the world to appeal to Rev
Anita but would say listen to God rather than man.
“I
want to appeal to everyone to please pause and think deep because
whatever a man sow, he shall surely reap. This is like beating a child
like Ibo elders will say and still take the tears from the child. Take a
step aside and think. Is there a woman who will give up her home on
flimsy excuse, if no why are we so callous and insensitive in this
matter. I am a married woman and so are many reading this, or you have a
mother, a sister or daughter. If you are happy for them to go through
whatever brought Rev Anita to this level please continue with your
judgemental approach towards her. And the God of truth will visit
everyone with same except if there was no cause. Amen!!!
“I
have read some accusing her of money and power motivation. PLEASE LET
ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE PASTOR ANITA I KNOW AS MOST OF YOU YOUNG ONES IN
NIGERIA DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN ENCOUNTER WITH HER. Rev Anita has been my
pastor for about 13 years now. I am one of the founding members of her
church and I have seen her grow a church from using all any available
venue while planting more churches in faith sending her best member out
to start a new church, from two churches in England has grown to
churches in almost every borough and cities. Rev Anita will see anyone
and everyone regardless of your status.
“If
she ever kept you waiting, she will apologise profusely throughout the
meeting and make it good to you. Rev Anita without an office will still
counsel us even in her car on Wednesday night after church yet she has
1hour 30mins drive back home with 2 young girls. For so long she was
driving a volkswagon golf until 2005 that we bought her a BMW X3 and she
still refused to drive it for many months until she was begged to use
it so that we can be blessed. She used the same car until 2010/2011 and
the replacement she had then is still what she used till her last day in
church last year.
“We
begged her to come around for us to celebrate her birthday but she will
still go into hiding. On her return the little song we will do for her,
she will return it to Rev Chris in thanksgiving. Any money you give her
she sends it straight to church account or Loveworld TV. If we ever
raise money for her birthday she ask us to go and use it for evangelism
or send it to Loveworld TV. When you give her any material thing,
regardless of the shop you purchased it, she will use it for you to see
and thank you as long as she sees you for the gift.
“At
Christmas, while service was on up to 2013 christmas she will give
almost everyone in church gift. Foodstuff will be dropped at your side
as service. She will specially take care of the elderly, help you settle
down when you arrive in the country. No barren left without children as
she will make it her project until it happens. So how come people came
up with this terrible accusation. You accused her of being rude to some
CEC members. Wow. This is wicked. First for so long, she was the Vice
President and others have other positions. I thought husband and wife
are one.
“She
raised 2 girls in this society and the 2 girls are admirable, humble,
down-to-earth children. They are children not a reflection of the home
they grew. Pastor Chris was not around. He came to our church on
Fathers’ Day sometimes ago and he told us one of the daughters’
requested for it as her birthday gift – how touching and how she
treasures her dad’s presence. She could ask for material thing but she
asked for his presence and we all are here judging them. I remember
these girls will politely beg me to allow them carry my baby and they
will play with him and when they bring him back, they will thank me for
letting them carry him and I’m surprised because I should thank them for
helping me. And they do same to other mothers in the mothers’ area
where we sit in church. Is it not what they saw their mum do, they are
not class-freak.
“I
remember that visit of Pastor, Rev Tom talking said we may not value
what we have. That she is the grace in the CEC. If they all condemn
someone, she will see a good reason to embrace the person and she has
always been right. Rev Chris said at one IPPC that most changes we see
here in the ministry, she in her simple way brought them and that was
the day he spoke about how she talked about the effort we put into
publicity of programme but that same or more should be put in telling
what the Lord did in that programme when its over. So what changed now,
because she is asking for a change.
“I
have read all the messages here by some writers, the news is all over
our church and I have taken my time to find out what is really happening
and to the much available, below are the things Rev Anita is asking
for:
-
She told Rev Chris that you are such an organised person, you give us
almost a full year calendar on Dec 31st of every year, please put the
family in the timetable too. The times you don’t have any engagement,
please come home. I need you and the children need you. Please bear in
mind she has been here since 1999 and she was just about 30 years old
then as a married woman with 2 children. So for almost 16 years of her
marriage, no husband at home for straight 1 week, no dad at home for the
children. No christmas, yet he has party with the staff that we all
watch at Christmas. Even Jesus always withdrew from the crowd to
fellowship with his father.
-
She asked Rev Chris that on hearing of the immorality, ‘not holding it
against you but let all these ladies move out of White House and go and
get houses outside. They are rich enough to buy houses at their place of
choice if they don’t already have one and allow them marry. Who
benefits from this choice, is it not everyone? So which is her offence
in this. And Rev Chris did not agree to it. The brothers even said they
went to have meeting with him in South Africa to beg him to at least
meet her half-way but he refused. 2 public responses are the emergency
Bible study after their meeting with him titled – Spirit of Error and
Spirit of Truth, please flash back at this meeting or relisten to it and
after so much call in the UK for him to produce our mother, he had
meeting with our pastors and deacons in May and it is recorded that many
left the meeting weeping for the way he described our mother that some
have had lifetime experience with.
