Its reappearance comes amid the ongoing public dispute between social media activist Verydarkman and Apostle Arome Osayi, a saga that has divided opinions across social media.
What Pastor Chris said about ministers
In the clip, Pastor Chris urged his followers to completely disengage from any criticism directed at church leaders, regardless of what those leaders may have done.
He anchored his argument in scripture, referencing the biblical principle that a servant answers to his master, not to bystanders.
"Don't criticise God's people, especially the ministers of God. I said leave them alone, for the Bible says whatever they do they do unto the Lord," he said. "You are not the one to accuse another man's servant to his master."

He went further to warn that joining others in speaking against ministers carries spiritual consequences, describing persistent household sickness and recurring family troubles as among the outcomes. "There are curses against those who do," he stated plainly.
The cleric also anticipated pushback from those who question whether every self-proclaimed cleric is genuinely sent by God, brushing that concern aside entirely.
"You may say to me but not everybody who says it's a minister. Leave that. That is not your business. Leave them with God," he said.
Pastor Oyakhilome closed that portion of his message with a firm declaration about the church's resilience: "Just remember, the church can never and will never be defeated. It's impossible. It has a self-cleansing system."
