Pastor Chris whom many consider as the Man of God was received by an unprecedented warm welcome at Jerusalem’s Western Wall recently. This remarkable incident was part of Pastor Chris’s eight-day visit to the Holy City of Israel. The pastor’s visit is a once in a life opportunity for his followers to view the Holy Land through the lens of the Bible. Being one of the most revered of all holy sites, the Western Wall holds deep meaning to devote Christians.
Words are not enough to describe the holy site’s spiritual environment which could satisfy the hearts of all the observers and participants of the Pastor’s visit that were touched by Jesus Christ’s spirit. Just looking at the amazing photos and images taken of the warm welcome received by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome underscores the importance that this remarkable event has created. It is clear that the presence of this Man of God in this historic site has really inspired the scores of observers and followers alike.
Students of history know that the Western Wall is the only remaining part of the walls that secured the Temple Mount at the time of the Second Temple. For both Christian and Jews, this historic site holds deep and great meaning. Chris Oyakhilome intended that his followers will not miss the significance of his visit to this place.
In biblical times, the Temple was the Jews’ center of life. This was where they held their rituals and sacrifices, conducted their prayers and held their Bible studies. It was the place which Jesus visited regularly. The Temple was also the place where he challenged the priestly authorities several times. Those confrontations inevitably led to his arrest and eventual crucifixion.
This made the Western Wall a significant place that can provide its visitors a spiritual connection to Jesus Christ’s life and passion. One of the unique traditions at this site is the placing of personal notes that people have written in between the cracks of the Wall. Many followers of Pastor Chris observed this tradition and used the opportunity to pray and connect with the Lord and the Bible. It is evident that they were brought to higher spiritual heights as they participated in the event. The presence of the Holy Spirit was also very evident throughout Pastor Chris’ visit to the holy site.
The Western Wall visit of Chris Oyakhilome was part of his eight-day trip to the Holy Land. It was organized by the organization which he founded, the Believers’ LoveWorld Incorporation (Christ Embassy). The members of this organization strive to live by the edicts of Jesus Christ which is to be holy as He is, one must be like him as much as he can. Christ underlined the need to help others in need, physically and spiritually. This is the most effective way to grow close to God.
That is exactly the teachings of Pastor Chris and his Christ Embassy Church. He planned this pilgrimage to the Holy Land as well as in Jordan because both places hold great meaning to Christians. These two holy sites are the best places to renew their commitment to the Lord.
Unfortunately, there are followers of Pastor Chris who were not able to participate in the event. But that shouldn’t stop them for virtually taking part in this visit through Pastor Chris’ eyes. Those who may have missed his Holy Land ministration may still update themselves by following all the happenings of the trip. There will be live coverage of the highlights of the trip and the places that will be visited in the church’s official website and in both Facebook and Twitter.
