The sanctity of the altar turned into a theatre of the absurd at Newlife Church when Pastor Ezekiel Odero publicly confronted a congregant with a prayer request that stunned the faithful. In a viral exchange that has set social media ablaze, a woman audaciously asked for divine intervention for her lover—a man she admitted belongs to another woman.

The drama unfolded during a healing service when the microphone was handed to the woman. Instead of asking for a job or health, she lamented the misfortunes of her "boyfriend." Pastor Ezekiel, known for his no-nonsense approach, dug deeper, only to uncover that the man was married. The revelation triggered a blistering sermon on morality that left the congregation gasping.

"You Are Stealing!"

"Why do you have this kind of audacity to steal someone’s husband, then ask for prayers on their behalf?" Ezekiel thundered, pacing the altar. "How would you feel if someone stole your husband?"

The woman, defiant, attempted to justify the affair. "He made the move on me, not the other way around," she argued, claiming innocence. The defense only fueled the televangelist’s fire. "If a married man makes a move on you, do you just say yes? You are inviting curses!" he warned.

• The Verdict: Ezekiel refused to pray for the relationship, instead praying for the woman’s deliverance from "the spirit of home-wrecking."
• The Reaction: The incident has sparked a fierce debate on the role of the church in regulating modern relationships. Supporters hail Ezekiel as a defender of family values, while critics argue the public shaming was excessive.
• The Ritual: The service culminated in Ezekiel sprinkling "holy water" on congregants, with many rolling on the floor in apparent spiritual purging.

The Side-Chick Epidemic

For Ezekiel, the confrontation was a teaching moment about a societal rot. He framed the "side-chick" phenomenon not just as a sin, but as a spiritual trap that blocks blessings. "You cannot build your happiness on another woman’s tears," he declared.

As the video circulates on TikTok, the woman’s identity remains hidden, but her story has become a cautionary tale: be careful what you ask for in church—you might just get the truth instead.
