I’ve heard it countless times: someone was abducted, but the hand band with a picture of their founder engraved on it protected them when they were at the kidnappers’ den.

I believe that standing for God is to take up his cross and follow him diligently. How many of our shepherds genuinely stand for God in all they do?

Definitely, there is no place where we don’t have such agents of hell who claim to be pastors, shepherds, or prophets.

Do CCC shepherds currently adopt this look as the norm? When it comes to wearing “brother” or “elder brother”-style clothing during harvest in their parishes, many CCC shepherds are guilty. The majority of our shepherds that engage in this behaviour do so due to a lack of understanding of their position and duty. Have you ever seen a judge enter the courtroom unrobed or without… []
There have been anomalies in our church, but they were not as noticeable as they are now. These days, the keeping of dreadlocks is not only noticeable in some Shepherds who see themselves as having more spiritual powers than others, but also amongst male youths who now see it as the latest fashion trend. Wearing dreadlocks in the church in the days of Baba Bada… []
I decry and detest the lackadaisical manner in which some men and even women tie their loins in our Parishes. The culprits tend to be individuals who have acquired it for no reason. They therefore treat it as a psychedelic accessory. It has no power. The wearer also has no power. 1. The loin is a symbol of power and authority. In 2 Kings… []

Many Celestians think that they can do just what they want because the house of God is “your father’s house” as most Celestians say.

Late Coming To Church: Attending Jerimoyahmah is very important for… []

It should be mentioned that some parishes are experiencing an alarming increase in several persons who choose to remain outside during collection and offers.

It’s possible that many messages delivered to our shepherds and prophets before their calling to the ministry went unheard. It’s possible that certain prophets or shepherds received messages describing how their work will set captives free. Even when certain people are sent to undo the devil’s job, the devil nonetheless torments them rather than letting them torment the devil. There is always God’s guidance on… []
