Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, the founder of Love World (Christ Embassy), has spoken out about several well-known gospel performers leaving his ministry, including Sinach, Joe Praize, Frank Edwards, Eben, and others.

These singers began their musical careers at Christ Embassy before going on. Many stories indicated that their departures were due to restrictions on ministering outside the church.

For example, as Sinach’s worldwide career grew, her visits to Christ Embassy apparently decreased, which irritated Pastor Chris. He allegedly asked her to return and actively participate in the church’s music ministry, but she declined.

In a now-viral video, Pastor Oyakhilome revealed that he quit working with these artists because they weren’t focused on celebrating God.

He mentioned that he tried to correct them, but when they refused to follow his vision, they split ways.

His Statement: “Why did this happen? The church was turning into a place of entertainment rather than a house of prayer where God’s word was truly celebrated. These singers were not winning souls; they led praise but left when it was time for prayers. The music in the church started to change – it became worldly. They performed for themselves, celebrated themselves instead of God, and even began charging fees for their singing. They became professionals who made money from the church, and many pastors did not realize that this was how the world was creeping into the church.”

“Initially, I celebrated them, but when I made a shift toward a different direction, they refused to change with me. That’s when I had to let them go. God was speaking to me, showing me this was not the right path. I told them the Lord wanted us to do things the right way, but they had become too focused on their newfound popularity and financial gains. They didn’t want to follow me anymore, so they chose a different path. I hope they find their way back and repent because they are no longer worship leaders.”
