B-R-E-A-K-I-N-G: Popular Lagos-based Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor reacts to Doris Ogala with biblical passages

…Says the law will address all her purported allegations accordingly.

Sunday service of December 21, 2025, at Grace Nation International aka Liberation City, is a special day since it coincides with the wedding thanksgiving service of the Senior Pastor and International Prophet, Dr. Chris Okafor which was held at the Church headquarters in the Berger area of Lagos, attracting over 8,000 congregants.

The newly wedded Pastor had shared during the service stating that prosecution is one of the criteria to identify God’s followers, explaining that Jesus was also persecuted for healing the afflicted, reading from the gospel according to Matthew 9, he explained that since we are Christ-like, we should also be expecting antagonism.

Dr. Chris Okafor, however stated that Matthew 11 vs 6 where Jesus states, “Blessed is the one who is not offended by me,” meaning those who don’t stumble, turn away, or lose faith in Him, especially during difficult times or when His actions challenge their expectations, has been a source of consolation for him.

He also explained that his faith is reinforced since his relationship with God is confirmed daily just like when Nicodemus confirmed Jesus mandate according to John 3 vs 2 where describes the Pharisee visiting Jesus at night, acknowledging Jesus as a teacher sent from God because of the miraculous signs He performed, stating, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs You are doing if God were not with him”

The International Prophet also talked about how everybody must align and conform with the laws of the land. He said whoever say or accuse anybody must be ready to prove it before relevant institutions, in his words “we will continue to pray, while we will allow laws to take its due course”.
