Pastor And Wife Fight Over Ownership Of Church In Enugu, As Two Different Church Service Are Held In Ministry

Unbelievable! Is it that the church members are blind folded or they just choose to be ignorant?....Pastor Ralph Okebu (47) and his wife Prophetess (Mrs) Caroline Okebu (51) of Victory Pentecostal Ministries International Incorporated in Enugu are fighting over the ownership of the church.

The church is divided into two factions. Members who belong to the camp of Pastor Ralph Okebu turn up in the morning while those who hold allegiance to his wife,  attend in the afternoon.
Before the worship arrangement was arrived at, congregants on both sides had fought physically over the use of the church auditorium located at Km 1 Enugu – Onitsha Expressway. According to a source, it took the intervention of the police to restore some form of order in the church, adding that policemen were stationed in the premises for two Sundays to avoid bloodshed.

How it all started:  a member of the Church, Chuks Okonkwo, a lawyer, who described himself as the Church administrator, said:
A problem arose in the Church about last year. It followed a prophecy that was released by the prophetess in the ministry, Prophetess Caroline Okebu. Part of these prophecies touched on the general wellbeing of the Church while a part of it touched on certain members of the Church, including the head pastor, Pastor Ralph Okebu.

 But the personal message that touched on Pastor Ralph Okebu could be seen to be what led to the factionalisation of the Church because in his own thinking, such a message shouldn’t have been revealed on the pulpit and the message had to deal with his amorous relationship with some female members of the church. And it was a warning. Basically, the ministry is a prophetic ministry and when there are prophetic revelations, they are taken very seriously. people choosed to go to the mountain to pray but Pastor Ralph Okebu and some others refused.
In July when they came back from the mountain they were all refused entrance to the church.

Asked how they worship now, Barr Okonkwo said: “In fact, the Ralph Okebu led group has stretched their service; atimes they leave at about 12.45pm. As they leave, we get in, worship and exit at about 4.30pm; that’s how we’ve been worshipping in the last three months.”
