How long shall we continue in this act and expect progress? Critics, bad comments here and there, when do we want to learn how to correct things with love and peace? No matter how things look, CCC should always think and see things on the positive side when needed. Everyone is ready to condemn anyone when he/she makes an error, who is above mistakes? No… []
Before they call me out that I have been an enemy to anything EMF, kindly grant me this honour here to clear the air on the insinuation. If there are a thousand people in this church who ever want peace and harmony restored to this church, if I am not first then I should be second to the last. But, my question is, what peace… []
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… []
The ongoing saga at CCC Mokola Cathedral has become so embarrassing to the image of the church. Today, the youth locked all access to the parish and there was no service held there today. Before this, the youth, #cno gathered, had written a letter to the commissioner of Police intimating him of their peaceful protest against their shepherd, Noah Ikumehinlo, who they alleged of polluting… []
“If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions…”1-Timothy 6:3-4 Based on the above, information reaching Celestial News Online… []
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… []
News emanating from the Ketu media section this evening has it that Rev E.M.F. has appointed a 12-man member headed by Baba Olorunnisola on the governing board for the US Diocese. The 12 members selected from different regions of the US Diocese will work hand-in-hand with the HoD. What #cno can deduce from the very funny letter is that no particular title was assigned to… []
“Seeing, they say, is believing,” so if I was told about this scenario that happened in this parish of Celestial Church recently, I might not believe, but witnessing the scene myself proves that we still have a long way to go in Celestial Church of Christ. This is another scenario that played out in a CCC parish around Sunnyvale Axis, Abuja where some shepherds, who… []
Alagba Olami Solo responded to the article titled ‘Where Are The Shepherds?” on #cno yesterday. In his reaction, he said, “The shepherds have all gone canal, because of money and worldly things”. Here is the rest of his submission, ‘they have tolerated so much rubbish in the church that no members either males or females care whether there are doctrines and tenets in the church… []
Here are eight ways we can receive our liberty and be delivered from sin and bonds as Christians and as Celestians 1) By confession, believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and receiving the spiritual baptism of the Holy Spirit. 2) Attending church services to receive knowledge of God. 3) By fully repenting of the old ways of sins, lusts, and pride from… []
For those who are not aware, there are many reasons the candles on the altar might be switched off. This might sound strange to some of the readers, but relax and follow the reasons the candles on the altar might be switched off. The number one point is that the candles are lit upside down according to how they were given to us. We recall… []
An African proverb says a rotten fish is easily discovered from the head. So, all the anomalies currently rocking our church is as a result of bad leadership. And what brought about bad leadership in CCC today is that the people are too far away from God. Romans 1:28 says “because they have failed to have the knowledge of God in their heart, God left… []
Unfortunately, we have some fake shepherds in CCC, popularly known as “yahoo shepherds.” These are the shepherds and prophets that encourage advance-fee fraud and Internet scams. This category of shepherds and prophets conducts some so-called spiritual works for yahoo guys to aid the criminal activities of young ones. I was at a parish adult harvest two weeks ago, where the prophet of the parish was… []
Another ugly news of the church is, again, out in the Punch Newspapers. A reporter carrying out his statutory duty was seriously mobbed at Baba Olufemi Sunday Sofowora’s parish, Sharon, Ikorodu. This ugly event calls for a review and the Parish must admit that they erred there. That the shepherd of the church is a gentle and peace-loving personality, a man who has imbibed the… []
There’s a saying that, “gbogbo wa la lowo be” that is everyone has a hand in it, what has become of our church today. There is so much that has been happening in CCC lately in which we mostly blame the pastor, shepherd of the Church, that’s why I said, “gbogbo wa la lowo be” that is everyone has hands in it. Everyone has one… []
Again, Alagba Chris, A Ogbaisi has reacted to the drama that challenged at the airport when some people went to ‘welcome Rev EMF at the Airport with trumpet and drums shortly after he returned from his foreign tour where he went to sell anointment as he usually does. That act, no doubt, is a sign of leadership error. Ogbaisi said, “It’s so appalling and shameful… []
Nothing prevents all the top artists from coming from Celestial Church because of the gifts deposited in the church, notwithstanding how skilled our youth are in CCC when it comes to good music and song compositions. Since many musicians’ careers have been put on spiritual hold, it is understandable why they are only singers. They would minister at any parish harvests, have nothing to show… []
As a child of God and God’s servant working towards achieving the same goal of getting people saved by preaching salvation, but now Celestial Church, like many shepherds and prophets, do not have the same objectives in common. In the season of adult harvest in Celestial Church, the rate at which members from different parishes converge just to grace a parish harvest shows love and… []
Gone are those days when the word “Wa Ri Ogo Cele Lai de Cele” (You shall see the glory of Cele even before you enter there) was effective in CCC. It’s now a thing of the past with this present dispensation because this is a generation that knows no God. Where is the “Cele” as of old? Many are eager to come into the Celestial… []
It is so disheartening when one listens to people’s bad experiences encountered in our church on daily basis. A woman narrated what transpired between a woman and a young man. Here is how she put it, “Imagine, just last Saturday, I referred a young man to one Wolida for “Isona,” only for the Wolida to look at him and say he should go and bring… []
We now have many shepherds doing spiritual works with alcohol and they will take it inside the mercy land for prayers. Where are we going to? And to worsen the matter, most of these shepherds condemned these ladies drinking Hennessy when their video went viral. The shepherd who uses alcohol to do ‘Akanse Ise’ woli for members and the one drinking alcohol who is destroying… []
I am happy and sad at the same time. Happy that if the exposé had been carried out by #cno, I am sure by now, there would have been series of cyberbullying/attacks and all sorts of insults on us. They would have called us an enemy of EMF or anti-Celestial as once broadcast by some low-thinking people. I am also happy that the revelation of… []
Harvest After-Party is becoming another “Ilana” gradually in our Celestial Church. Even though the harvest nowadays is no different from having an Owanbe party, an after-party will still take place. Many parishes task themselves with sourcing funds that would rent another sound system that would be used after harvest. For parishes that are not financially sound, such shepherds would permit the church sound system to… []
Report regarding a lady for her regular serious misconduct in the Choir and for recruiting young ladies for prostitution. I told her shepherd about it. The lady came to me and said her Olusho can’t do anything because the Olusho normally connects her to other rich Olushos to make money for both of them. I told a popular Shepherd, that among his choristers, nothing less… []
I am aware many of us have watched the trending video clip of the sacrilege group that claims Jesus Christ was a total stranger in Africa. I am very sure many gullible Christians would already fall for that baseless claim. Let me burst your bubble by saying many Christians’ faith has already been compromised as a result of this. What a pity! I’d like to… []
I met a man in one of the CCC parishes to grace the parish Adult Harvest whom we sat together and who also happens to be one of the elderly in the parish. A member greeted him and said to him, “We only see you in the church once in a blue moon,” and the man and the member laughed about it. When the member… []
Was surfing through the media there was a response regarding being a cloister and dating activities going on in there then this response came up by brother Benjamin. “I’ve been in the choir for 20 years. People could even vouch for me that I don’t date choristers. In the 17th year, I decided to give it a try for the first time. I dated one… []
Many of us are confused when we read about or observe some unusual events in CCC on social media. To be honest, many of our parishes are nurturing behaviors that are contrary to the church’s principles and tenets, as evidenced by what we see and what we have heard. Knowing that some shepherds and prophets in our church formally acknowledged the Yahoo boys in their… []
The apex body of CCC through the spokesperson of the church, Kayode Ajala, has come out to condemn the ungodly act being displayed by some female members of the church during their adult harvest celebration. “Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide condemns, in its entirety, the actions of some young females caught in a video consuming alcohol, while adorning the garment of the church. The Celestial… []
Many times, dating among choristers is concealed and done in secrecy which is not how it should be if the intentions are correct and Godly. Dating among choristers is very common in most parishes in CCC, there is no point to lie about that. It’s either the Choirmaster is dating the soprano singer or the backup singer in the Choir cage. This act is common… []
Alcoholic drink of any kind is seriously forbidden for every member of Celestial Church of Christ, Worldwide. The founder of the church, Papa SBJ Oshoffa said in his sermon and various literature including the 1980 CCC Constitution a.k.a Blue Book that the toxic and psychoactive substance should not be consumed by anyone who has willingly submitted himself or herself to be a member of the… []
According to this young girl, I saw the CCC logo in the sky but the logo was not standing the way it should stand, it was upside down. She further explained that she was told in the Spiritual realm to tell the entire Celestial Church worldwide that the church isn’t the way it should be, the church should go back to where it started from…. []
This world can often feel like a dark place. Sometimes it’s hard to see light and hope in the midst of all the suffering and pain we see around us. Constant headlines reveal the deep struggle, pain, and brokenness so many have known. God’s promises are true and He is faithful to bring them all to pass. Every single one. Jesus gives us eternal hope,… []
It was with heightened expectations that everyone in attendance of today’s court sitting involving the BoT and Rev EMF Oshoffa kicked off for trial under the jurisdiction of his lordship, Justice Lifu of the Lagos Federal High Court Ikoyi. As expected the counsel of both parties came prepared for the new phase of the litigation which has been dragging on for quite a while now,… []
Being responsible comes with responsibilities, and many shepherds and prophets have neglected their responsibilities, making their parish members do anything they like. A prophet or shepherd can never be responsible without responsibilities. Being responsible as a shepherd would definitely show in the lives of your members when it comes to dressing and conduct. Many of our shepherds and prophets also need discipline, saying less of… []
Isaiah 63:10 says “But they rebelled against him and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them.” The above reference best describes the present situation at US Diocese as you are reading this. Shortly after Alagba James Adepoju and his team put Rev EMF Oshoffa on tape, his fellow CTC Members jointly called him out and distanced themselves from the… []
Most CCC workers especially the full-time workers in the church should learn about the life of Gehazi. This lesson needs to be understood for the smooth running of the work of God they’ve chosen in the house of God. The Bible didn’t quite reveal the process that led to Elisha choosing Gehazi as his servant. But it was quite clear that Gehazi wasn’t a prophet… []
When the deceased got anointment for Assitant Most Superior Evang that year, about two years now, it became chaotic that even Baba had to show us a picture when he knelt beside Rev EMF’s Wife, Celine to take a Picture. He was told, through a circular sent to the public domain by Evang. Kayode Ajala that some certain people should not wear so so and… []
Though the video had been on a social media platform for a few days but a few hours after #cno shared the purported video, Alagba James Adepoju, a close ally to the embattled HoD, Olaitan Balogun, sent out his apology note via social media platforms, WhatsApp and Facebook. It is indeed a good step in the right direction. I give kudos to him. He wants peace… []
It is no longer news that our church, CCC has been bedeviled with a certain spirit of error from the top. It is a plague on the leadership since the demise of the pastor founder, SBJ Oshoffa. Since then till now, no quality leadership has been displayed nor has anyone seen to possess Papa’s attributes and spiritual embodiments. In this video, you will agree with me… []
At the age of 75, what is next for the church? This is the question that should be asked. What is the next development to look out for? What improvement are the CCC leaders working on? There are some of the things the leadership of CCC must look into. They abandoned the Imeko Cathedral Project halfway. They left the Vars8ty Project unfinished because the deal… []
#cno has been informed that after 19 months of playing politics and lying to the church with all kinds of deceitful acts, the leadership of CCC Ketu, under Rev EMF Oshoffa after realizing their errors seek to meet with Baba Olorunisola.Baba EMF, as was informed by our sources, asked the inside person to help appeal to Baba Olorunnisola to meet with him for a peace… []
Many Celestians don’t know that they’re idolizing their shepherds one way or the other. To them, their shepherds are their god, they believe no one except him, without their shepherds they believe nothing good can happen. There are so many ways we can idolize our shepherds in our parishes in CCC without us knowing. Some Celestians don’t even find time for themselves to pray concerning… []
I have had people saying this shouldn’t be posted because it will put the church name in a dark light. The truth is, tell a f**l that he is fo*lish and he will stop to be a f**l. We, as a church, have always prayed collectively in most Celestial Church parishes that God should keep exposing those traditional shepherds in our church who are… []
Things are happening in the world, nations, churches, and our environment when it comes to some ugly incidents. All these ugly situations could have been avoided by some of our shepherds and prophets if they were meticulous enough in dealing with members and strangers. The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil, which is the naked truth. Many shepherds’… []
You can’t continue to live in sin and give the right prophecy or spiritual messages. It is not possible, according to the Biblical account. Many of us believe many shepherds and prophets’ prophecies to be so powerful and confirmed that you can live your life with such a prophecy without seeking the face of God yourself and carrying out background checks on where such messages… []
“This picture should be deleted immediately so that people will not think that pastor is given annoitment please. We warn you all. Pastor put his hand on every shepherds at Jefferson on Tuesday without a picture taking.” This event took place in Philladelpia at Oladosu Parish when Rev EMF Oshoffa visited. Many were warned not to take pictures due to the ongoing anointiment process in… []
Many would be perplexed as to why the sun, moon, and rainbow—our covenant signs—are no longer visible. The apparition typically occurs in the late afternoon. That has always been the case every year since the church’s founding. In fact, Baba Bada’s funeral in 2000 marked the last time it was seen at Imeko. Since our several pastors who pass themselves off as pastors joined the… []
Many people who have been scammed by a false prophet will be amazed at how naive they might be to fall for such prey if they try to describe how they were tricked. I have witnessed a scenario in which a prophet expresses interest in a specific traditional work known as “Irapada.” This irapada becomes the counterfeit shepherd’s favorite because it allows him to rob… []
Many things give a shepherd a bad name than what we can ever think of in CCC. Shepherds are the priests and the representatives of God to the people. We have seen so many great shepherds in CCC being marked or painted as bad shepherds but what are the things that have given them a bad name in CCC? Here are a few things that… []
