Vanessa, also known as @vaemonie, who accused Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of staging her healing, has made a follow-up post providing context that significantly deepens the seriousness of her account.
Something happened within Vanessa’s immediate spiritual circle a few months before her third trip to the Healing School. The cousin of one of her leaders, Merelam Ezems-Amadi of the Believers Loveworld Warwick chapter, passed away from cancer. Like her, Merelam’s cousin had also attended the Healing School, where she was assured of her healing and deeply believed in it.
Shortly after her cousin’s death, Merelam Ezems-Amadi texted @vaemonie, saying that God had supernaturally healed her of sickle cell disease and that her genotype had changed from SS to AA. 
Merelam was not a stranger making an extraordinary claim; she was her spiritual leader, a person of authority in her community, and someone whose words carried institutional weight.
What @vaemonie still struggles to reconcile is the timing. A woman in this leader’s own family had just died from a condition she had been told was healed. Yet the message: ‘You are healed; your genotype has changed’ was sent to her weeks later.
‘Looking back now, I struggle to understand how, after such a devastating loss within her own family, I was still encouraged to believe that my life-threatening genetic condition had been supernaturally cured,’ she said.
She explains that the experience had profound effects on various aspects of her life, including her health decisions, finances, education, and overall wellbeing. It has taken years, she says, to process it enough to speak about it.
‘I still have the messages where I was told I had been healed,’ she wrote.

Why She Is Speaking Now
She emphasises that this is her personal account and perspective. She isn’t offering it as a definitive statement on the ministry as a whole. What she is asking for is something more specific: for people to ask questions, seek proper medical care, and think critically when extraordinary healing claims are made about life-threatening conditions.
‘I’m sharing my story because I know I’m not the only person who has struggled to reconcile deeply held beliefs with difficult experiences,’ she wrote. ‘My hope is that by talking about my journey, what I experienced, and how it affected my life, I can encourage people to ask questions, seek proper medical care, and think critically about extraordinary healing claims.’
This approach matters. She isn’t dictating what people should believe. Instead, she’s sharing what happened to her and urging them to hold both faith and critical thought simultaneously because, in her experience, neglecting the second caused real and lasting harm.

The Healing Streams Are Coming
What makes this story especially urgent is the timing.
The Healing Streams Live Healing Service with Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is scheduled from Friday 25 July to Sunday 27 July 2026. The event is broadcast worldwide and attracts millions of participants across physical and digital platforms, including many people with serious, chronic, and life-threatening conditions seeking healing.
Pastor Chris and Christ Embassy have not responded to the allegations raised by @vaemonie in her original TikTok video or her follow-up. No statement has been issued by the ministry addressing her specific claims about the Healing School’s procedures, the conditional nature of the healing doctrine presented to participants, or her account that her genotype had changed.
