A recent church service at the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministries, also known as Grace Nation Liberation City, has become the center of a viral social media storm. This follows the emergence of a video where the church's founder, Pastor Chris Okafor, made startling revelations about his past marriage.
The Painful Revelation from the Altar
In the video, which was shared by popular Instagram blogger Temilola Sobola, Pastor Okafor recounted a deeply personal and traumatic experience from his youth. Addressing his congregation on December 28, 2025, the cleric detailed how he unexpectedly discovered his then-wife's infidelity.
Okafor explained that he was on a trip when he felt compelled to return home early. He stated, "We were travelling when something happened, and I asked them to turn back and go to the house. On getting to the house, we were not expected to come back that early." The pastor revealed he was not alone during this fateful return.
A Sibling as Witness to the Betrayal
In a dramatic moment during the service, Pastor Okafor called his younger brother to join him at the altar. He identified him as his only biological sibling and confirmed that his brother was present and witnessed the shocking scene.
"It was me and my immediate younger brother, the only biological brother I have. When we got home and opened the door, what we saw broke me from that moment," Okafor told the congregants. He described finding "the woman I married with another man in the house."
The pastor, who was only 22 or 23 years old at the time, said the incident shattered him emotionally. "It broke me. It took me time to recover," he admitted, offering this personal history as a testament to overcoming profound personal pain.
Online Reactions and Broader Context
The cleric's public disclosure has ignited a firestorm of reactions across Nigerian social media platforms. The video comes shortly after Okafor publicly apologized to Nollywood actress Doris Ogala during a church service, adding another layer to the ongoing public discourse surrounding the pastor.
Netizens have expressed a wide range of opinions:
- @marketrunzbybusola commented, "It's only God that knows the truth and can judge it all.... That's all I go talk. It is well."
- @slyboogy007 questioned, "So your wife had no christian foundation but u with christian foundation n a claimed pastor married her but go dey alter dey preach us b not equally yoked with unbelievers..."
- @romanqudus humorously noted, "Hope this man new wife deh observe everywhere sha ?"
This episode has also drawn attention to Okafor's current marriage. A separate viral video showed his wife, Pearl, joining him on the altar in a show of support following his apology to Doris Ogala, with some online commentators speculating about the dynamics of his present relationship.
The story continues to develop as more Nigerians weigh in on the pastor's decision to share such a private marital ordeal from the pulpit, blending personal testimony with public controversy.
