The founder of the Grace Nation Bible Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor, has finally broken his silence over his ongoing relationship scandal with actress Doris Ogala.
Speaking on Sunday 21 December , 2025, at Grace Nation International headquarters during his wedding thanksgiving service the newly wedded Pastor said Doris claim is like persecution which 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”.
