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… []
Here is a submission of a female member of the church named Sarah, over the viral video of some ladies in CCC garments drinking Hennessy and uttering gibberish. There is no doubt that the church has entered the world and the world has also found its way into the church as well. Relative to another circulating video of ladies in our soutana drinking and saying… []
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. Though it is true the church is your father’s (God) house and you are a child of God, it is still very necessary to give due respect and honor to God. Late Coming To Church: Attending Jerimoyahmah is very important for… []
As the church of God advances, so the church also advances in the number of new converts into the church. Most of our ranks in Celestial Church of Christ are so strange to some new converts and even some existing members. With the knowledge of ranks in the Celestial Church and knowledge of how male elders ought to dress, what to wear, and what they… []
Shepherds nowadays are just taking things that are sacred in CCC upside down. It is now that you’ll find even prophets having a Seven candle altar stand in their room for private prayers or consultation. I have never come across this in the CCC Constitution that an altar is allowed in the room for private use. Many prophets in CCC even use it for house… []
Other denominations are rarely used to promote garbage in movies or skits, but this is happening in Celestial Church due to a lack of proper regulation by our church’s leaders and elders. In other religions, you can’t just wake up and promote any skit or movie to portray a bad image of their church, but here in Celestial Church, it is happening. Most of the… []
I see most Celestians leaving the church so early because of one thing or the other. Some may just want to go home to do nothing but watch movies or sleep. It isn’t spiritual to cut the service short because it is likely the moment you are off, God can decide to send a divine helper to you in church. There are blessings attached to… []
Many of our rules and teachings need to be changed because they were adopted during the time of SBJ Oshoffa without taking church advancement or weather variables into account. It was stated in the doctrines and tenets of Celestial Church that preachers should always appear in full regalia outside of church settings, regardless of local weather conditions. Due to old age and unconsidered health and… []
When it comes to the specific attire worn by some prophets and shepherds, our church is just becoming more and more perplexed every day. Their rate of impolite dressing is quite concerning. And one can question whether such a person has adequate instruction before becoming a shepherd. Many shepherds and prophets just follow their minds regarding how to dress, regardless of whether it is against… []
I have seen and heard it countless times whereby some elders in the church use the three members’ prayer to counter some people in the church, either with curses or negative utterances. It is during this three-members prayer, that some elders will make use to pour out their minds with anger in prayers, deceiving other members that they are praying for the church. Most elders… []
Nowadays Prophets in Celestial Church are now like small gods. Many Celestians no longer see shepherds in their parish as more important because they believe he is not a prophet except the ones who are prophets before becoming Shepherds. Bigger parishes now want a prophet to be their shepherds because they want a person that sees the vision and gives the prophecy. The respect for… []
There are many brothers and sisters in Celestial Church of Christ who have not gone for anointment for once, for the major reasons best known to them. Some have spent more than twenty-five years in the fold with no rank, and some were even born and brought up in the Celestial Church but with no ranks. The rate at which many shepherds honor such a… []
Many recent converts are unaware that the fact that men are typically assigned all tasks in the church does not mean that women are inherently wicked, accustomed to seeing their monthly cycles, or unable to respond to problems with the same patience as men. However, it is far from this presumption and has a mystery behind it. The Lord of Host declares that the altar… []
It is always good when we all stand up to do what is right in the sight of God, and we should all clamour for the good of our church collectively. And I believe we can all achieve it. Many female members are found to go to the service late and not that they are truly engaged, but when it comes to God’s work they… []
Many Celestians don’t know why they’re told not to bring food that has pepper into the church but all that they know is that it is not allowed or good for the church. Though, so many Celestians have tried to ask questions about this matter because they want to know the motive behind it. Some members even think maybe Celestial Church is worshipping a deity… []
We heard so many things in Celestial Church but now it’s about the altar clothing which made me think if it is true or just one of those imported doctrines into the church. I was surfing the internet and someone said the Altar Clothes should be washed with Seawater (Omi Okun) after being used. This gave me a lot of concern because we don’t know… []
The white garment is one of the symbols of a Celestial member and it differentiates us from every other denomination even though many churches now put on a white garment. The garment is more than just clothes, Celestians don’t know much about the CCC garment so they believe that it’s not different from their other clothes at home. The Celestial garment is spirit-filled clothes after… []
Many Celestians have registered it in their minds that only on Tuesdays they can pray for victory even in their houses. Though in Celestial Church of Christ Victory day is known to be for Tuesday but sincerely, God performs victory every day, anytime or whenever you call upon Him. Some Shepherds and Prophets in CCC have denied most members who have one spiritual work or… []
It is the belief of many that the Celestial Church of Christ abhors and encourages the act of immorality specifically being pregnant out of wedlock. We can clearly put it to you that we do not and will never affirm that motion. We practice the undiluted word of God in Hebrew 13:4 concerning marriage which states, “Marriage is honourable and the bed undefiled” therefore we… []
Burning of incense is to empower our spiritual focus, and deepen our attention in God’s presence, the aroma of incense can help you also tap into your spiritual connections cleansing the air for an inner and outer spiritual journey with the Holy Spirit in fellowship. In luke 1:10, it is established that the burning of incense, in the hour of prayer gives our supplications quick… []
Purification Exercise is important. A woman in Celestial Church of Christ undergoes this period after her monthly flow, and after giving birth it is also part of our code and conduct. It is essential and should not be taken for granted, Lev 15 vs 16-30. Some women disregard this act and do not perform it after the end of their monthly flow, and still go… []
Upon entering the church, at all times, but especially during church services, an individual should remember that he or she is in the House of God. (1 Tim. 3:15). Reverence and good manners are required so as not to disturb those who are already engaged in prayer and worship, but even more importantly, as an expression of sincere fear, faith, and awareness of the presence… []
The Word pulpit is a platform and it is used to deliver the word of God in which many churches place it at the centre of the church for Sermons. Now in Celestial Church of Christ, the structure and arrangements of a pulpit are a different thing entirely. Two pulpits are being built, the one for sermon and the other for reading Bible lessons and… []
Nowadays people have taken the most important aspect of our Sunday service with a non-challant attitude. Many youths don’t understand why it’s a must never to miss the bowing of the Head even elders now come late for service. The Church is growing more in strength and glory but the sad truth is not all members are growing with it because we have formed a… []
Most times those leading three members’ prayers do digress. The reason is that they want the prayer to be lengthy. Lengthy prayer doesn’t attract awards from God neither does it make any meaning to Him. These people’s aim is nothing but a show-off. When the service conductor layout prayer points, after he has prayed certain prayers such as FORGIVENESS OF SINS. AND SANCTIFICATION, THANKSGIVING, they’ll… []
When I was young, I used to hear non-CCC members’ discussing that if you wanted to get rich, go to CCC. You would be richer and all your problems would be solved. Some would even argue that anyone attending CCC who is not wealthy will never be wealthy again in life or adventure. Without a doubt, this assumption is correct. However, CCC is not a… []
Holy Communion in Celestial Church is sacred and arranged from heaven above which is divinely set and organised in a peculiar way different from other denominations. 1 Corinthians 11:30, NIV: That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. Holy Communion is not a Child’s play or neither water from the bell but a divine instruction… []
Silent Prayer in Celestial Church of Christ is a divine order given to the church by the Holy Spirit. In this current dispensation things are changing, people now go to Churches that engage in revival prayer programs. Is it bad? No! Does it contradict the lay day order? Yes! So many things we do unknowingly but we are not following the right way we do… []
In Celestial Church Of Christ, women in their menstrual period should not be in contact with any spiritual materials and church premises. Therefore after the 7th day, that is on the 8th day she will come for the sanctification. This exercise has brought the attention of most members in the church that the candle used for the process after the sanctification will be lighted at… []
One of the posts on #cno where a newcomer had a bitter but unusual experience in one of the local parishes over the burning of incense has generated mixed reactions. In the story, she was alleged to possess an evil spirit for running away from the smoke coming out from the incense burner, so the sermoner of that day was said to have asked her… []
Celestial Church of Christ had its way of doing things spiritually until the prophetic ministry of the church brought in other denominational ideas and injected them into the system and things started taking a new shape. One of them is going into Trance. It is no longer news that it is now rampant in Celestial Church of Christ, that Shepherds have now migrated from collecting… []
A friend of mine was having a chat with me about some lies from the altar and while saying that, he talked about how Samson was killed by revealing the secret code of his power to a woman. And he said it was not s.e.x that killed him as the Bible made us understand. Calm down and listen. Extramarital/premarital s.e.x, of course, is discouraged, but… []
Many things that are impossible according to church theology become possible when there are loopholes in a church’s structure or the framework is so porous. I think I’ve figured out where we are getting it wrong as a church. Do I believe the current anomalies in the Celestial Church are foundational or the result of CCC leaders’ poor performance? How would a woman lead a… []
It is considered that you must go through followership and mentorship before becoming a leader, however, most CCC ministers never desire to replicate what the church’s founder avoided. When a shepherd, prophet, or prophetess commits immoral acts, it is indicative of the occurrence of further immoral acts. 1) His followers will lose faith in such a prophet or shepherd. 2) He will lose his position… []
I’m not really sure what’s going on at CCC these days. We have a guide that outlines CCC doctrines, code of conduct, and other guidelines, yet we continue to do what we want. Could it be that we no longer read them, or that they have gone into extinction? It should be emphasised that sermon songs should not contain more than seven (7) distinct sorts… []
Alagba Haastrup has said that, for the church to have peace in Nigeria, his submissions below must be considered by the BoT. But is it only Nigeria that is witnessed by Tsunami? The global Celestial Church is facing one problem to the other, many of which Rev Friday Emmanuel’s leadership, leader of Ketu faction, has derailed their mission over pastoral order. Before Celestial Church of… []
We have seen and read in the Bible that truly there are Five-Fold ministries in the body of Christ. The Five-Fold Ministry consists of the Apostles, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher, but in Celestial Church of Christ, some ranks have Spiritual significance. Nowadays, most of our Celestial ministers now use the title Apostle in church and whatever Ministry they have started for themselves, which is… []
Sometimes it’s funny how some people who people think are people of God go about fighting for God, yet they are secretly the problem of this great Church. Lots of them come out during the day to act like they really care about the church and are saddened by the situation on ground, yet deep inside of them they are happy. Most of them are… []
Integrity and perfect manners, they say, are the key qualities required to lead a disciplined life. This, indeed, was on display on Day-6 of JDN at 80 happening at CCC Oke-Ado Parish, Ibadan. That Doctor Jacob Deji Nunayon a.k.a. JDN is a shrewd disciplinarian is not in doubt, at least, this was established in the present of all while Yinka Alaseyori, the sensational entertainer, was… []
A true Christian simply has accepted and confessed the Lordship of Christ over his/her life and who is following the teaching of Christ and not the one with many RANKS and TITLES. Many sons and daughters are preparing for an anointment for an upgrade but I would like to ask you this simple question, the ones you have collected what have you done with… []
There are numerous bad habits CCC members do exhibit while in the Church service. It should be noted that since you are in the Church service not listening to the Word of God, it is very better to stay at home rather than distract others who want to worship their God wholeheartedly. I have seen a scenario where a brother who just disliked his parish… []
I have overhead it severally where people said anything can be brought for Thanksgiving once it is very useful to the house of God and for the people working in the church. Some even said If you are into flock rearing business or as a farmer, you can do Thanksgiving with the farm produce inside the Church but the grey area is, bringing livestock into… []
According to Prophet Paul Ajimuida, the generation of the Celestial Church members we are seeing today are very disrespectful, troublesome, arrogant, proud and far from submissive to the will of God. You will begin to wonder if this set of people were truly Celestial Church or hired thugs. Their behaviour clearly shows that no spirit and knowledge of God in them. I wonder how they… []
The new fashion in Celestial Church of Christ by some unscrupulous elements. Imagine this off-the-shoulders four corner Soutana made of diaphanous and translucent material. Where are the Onibode’s in that parish? Are you sure there is a shepherd in the parish this woman went to disgrace herself a nd not the church. Are there no mature ladies or women of honour to let her know… []
The CCC Choir cape is one of the most vital regalias in the fold…it identifies an individual to be a member of the unit… Most Celestial Church choristers don’t know that, the cape they wear on most Glorious service ( Lord’s Day services )is equivalent to the rank of a S/E (Ssenior Evangelist)… During symposium held in the Northern part of Nigeria by the hymnal… []
Wearing of transparent garments has become a norm in our dear church. Our Fashion sense has moved from dressing decently to gradually exposing our body. The shepherds and church elders who are supposed to correct this indiscipline act seem to have adopted it too. It’s so difficult these days to know who is in church to serve God and who is in church to show… []
The white garment in CCC is not just a cloth or a fashionable outfit, it’s a blessed, powerful, and symbolic outfit for all Celestial Church members. There is divine power over the bondage of evil when we are on garment. Some might have been giving the message to always put on the garment whenever such a person wants to sleep. It defeats the evil spirit… []
In Celestial Church of Christ worldwide, menstruation is considered unclean and is expected for a lady who is on her monthly flow to isolate herself from the church premises for good seven days and after the seventh day, she is expected to undergo sanctification before entering the church. To stress it further, a lady observing her monthly flow should not touch anybody on a garment… []
