Chris Oyakhilome Rejects Ailing Man’s ₦100 Million Offer During Healing Service

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome turned down a reported ₦100 million pledge from a seriously ill man during a Christ Embassy Healing Streams service, saying that God wanted the man’s life and commitment rather than money. A video of the exchange circulated online, drawing attention to the pastor’s response. The man was identified in the report as Peter Paul. He appeared on a reclining stretcher chair on stage, and Oyakhilome said he was 53 but looked much older because of his condition. Peter Paul’s wife reportedly told the congregation that he had been unwell for five years. During the encounter, Oyakhilome asked what Peter Paul was prepared to do for God in return for healing. The man offered to give ₦100 million. The pastor rejected the financial pledge, after which Peter Paul said he would devote his life to serving God. Oyakhilome then prayed over him, laid hands on him and declared him healed. The report says he called on Peter Paul’s wife and referred to their children, who were watching the broadcast at home. He asked her to tell the children, named Kailan and JJ, that their father had been healed. The broadcast included a caption stating that giving God ₦100 million was not enough and that God wanted the man’s life and service. The clip prompted reactions from viewers, many of whom focused on the decision to refuse the large donation and emphasize religious commitment instead. The report does not provide independent confirmation of Peter Paul’s medical condition or the pastor’s declaration of healing. It describes the events shown in the broadcast and the online response to the clip.
