The founder of Christ Embassy, Chris Oyakhilome, has sparked fresh conversations on wealth and Christianity after defending his prosperity using biblical references.
In a video which surfaced online, the cleric spoke about what he described as “exhaustless riches,” suggesting that a believer’s wealth in Christ transcends material measurement.
“There’s a level of riches you can’t quantify,” he said in the clip, emphasizing that such wealth goes beyond conventional financial understanding.

Oyakhilome linked his message to scriptural teachings, explaining that divine prosperity is rooted in spiritual realities rather than worldly calculations.
His remarks appear to align with the broader prosperity gospel doctrine, which teaches that faith, positive confession, and giving can lead to material and spiritual abundance.
The statement has since generated mixed reactions online. Supporters argue that the pastor’s message reflects biblical promises of abundance for believers, citing passages that speak of blessings and divine provision.
