Pastor Chris’ life of giving!

…He owns N400m fleet of cars
Human beings are not naturally known to
always give without thinking of what they
would get in return. So it is worthy of note
when a man gives so much without asking for
anything in return.
Rev.
Chris
Okotie
may
not
have
a
stunning personality to some Nigerians, but he
has endeared himself to many particularly
those who got a helping hand when it
mattered to them.
He shows love to all and occasionally dishes
out different gift items. Recently, on his
birthday when others would sit back to
welcome and collect birthday gifts in
multitude; he chose to dedicate the day giving
to people household items, satisfying the
material needs of people. In this edition, we
bring you an icon that is always ready to
share…
Enjoy..
No doubt, the ageless multi award winning
pop Musician, Chris Okotie; now known as
Rev. Chris Okotie is a very wealthy man; who
loves seeing the faces of people light up
whenever he gives.
He doesn’t need any introduction to Nigerians
as his album ‘I need someone’ brought him to
limelight in the 80′s. It would also be recalled
that Pastor Chris left singing circular songs
for gospel songs more than 30 years ago;
after he repented.
Today, he writes gospel songs and he sings to
worship God. It is also worthy of note that
Rev. Chris is also a writer as he wrote the best
selling book titled “The last outcast” which
was a sell out. Pastor doesn’t have a choir in
his church yet awesome songs are produced
by him as the choir master and his church as
his choir.
Rev. Chris was born on June 16, 1959. He is
an Urhobo from Abraka in Ethiope East Local
Government Area of Delta State. He is the
founder and senior pastor of Household of God
Church; a church located in Oregun, Ikeja,
Lagos state since 1987. He is a law graduate
from the University of Nigeria, Enugu campus.
PROPERTIES
The church auditorium, including the
children’s department, the car parks and its
extensive fallow land is worth billions of naira.
He has other choice properties in the United
State of America worth millions of dollars.
The church auditorium is a beautiful, large
edifice, built to house more than 2000 people
or more. Although, Household of God Church
is not as crowded like people would have
expected it to be, but they have the ability and
movement of a batallion as Rev. Chris would
always say that “God doesn’t work with the
crowd, but with selected few who are ready to
work in the his vineyard”.
INVESTMENTS
Rev. Chris Okotie believes strongly in investing
in the lives of people; he is described by all
who has made contact with him as an intense
giver. He also believes that “God who has
called him would take care of him”.
So he doesn’t believe in any investment except
in the service of God and humanity. But even
at that; he is arguably one of the richest
pastors in Nigeria; as he collects very
expensive wrist watches, wears expensive
suits, ties, perfumes and shoes.
Rev.Chris spoke extensively on this very issue
in one of his sermons. According to him ”
working in line with God’s will and direction
for my life has made me buy more expensive
cars and wear more expensive clothes than
most of my colleagues”.
CHARITY
Pastor Chris spends a lot of money on charity
as he is enjoys giving. He jokingly told the
church on one of such Sundays that he spends
over two hundred and fifty thousand naira
each Sunday buying gifts for people. The
Yuletide seasons are not left out as he spends
millions through the church making Christmas
season beautiful for the less privilege in the
Society. Pastor and the church has a yearly
grace programme; on the programme they
organise an award event known as Karis
award for people who did amazing things in
their field of specialty.
CARS
He is an unrepentant car freak; as his cars are
estimated to be over N400m. He has cars
such as BMW, to exotic models of Range
Rover and Mercedes Benz. Recently, he added
a Rolls Royce Phantom, 2014 edition to the
fleet in his garagewhich cost him a whooping
sum of N80m. That was to be a personal gift
to celebrate his 27 years on the pulpit and 30
years as a born again Christian.
