REMEMBER THE GLOBAL MILLENNIUM PALINDROME OF 02/02/2020 AS WE CELEBRATE 02/02/2022: It was the date the world waited for, for 1,010 years. Sunday – 02/02/2020 – was the first “global millennium” palindrome since 01/01/1010. THE SECOND OF FEBRUARY 2020 ALSO HAPPENS TO BE THE 33RD DAY OF THE YEAR, WITH 333 DAYS REMAINING. THAT IS A MAJOR DISTINCTION FROM MANY PALINDROMIC DATES. IN THE BOOK… []
From the classified information received from the Holy Spirit so far, it is clear that the strong arm of God will manifest His GLORY in our lives in 2022. I see the increase of His Light and His Power as we spend quality time in study and prayer. Let us talk less and meditate more on His word. One passage of scripture that has inspired… []
PART THREE: In his live interview with the OGTV reporter, Papa SBJ Oshoffa was asked his plans for the choice of his successor after his transition. Papa referred to the constitution but stated clearly that it is the Holy Spirit of God that would choose the one that would sit on his seat. Then Papa said something very unique. He said, “the one who was… []
PART TWO The lacuna perspective is strictly based on the interpretation the court gave to Section 111 Subsection (i). They seem to believe that Papa SBJ Oshoffa did not ordain or announce a successor before he transitioned. According to Barrister Dacosta, “the Holy Spirit would tell the incumbent Pastor, no other person, who the next Pastor would be.” MY COMMENT: [The constitution never said the… []
PART ONE: I took the time to listen to the interview given by Barrister Segun Dacosta, representative of the CCC legal Department of Ketu faction, an appointee of Baba EMF. I was impressed by his presentation to a large extent. He was able to hit the nail on the head when he mentioned that the key to understanding Section 111 Subsection (i) of the 1980… []
SENSUS PLENIOR: Many in biblical circles, or who have actually attended Seminary would recall that in hermeneutics or the science of interpretation, sensus plenior is a Latin phrase that means “fuller sense” or “fuller meaning.” It is used in biblical exegesis or sacred writings to describe the supposed deeper meaning intended by the Holy Spirit but not by the human author. This implies that more… []
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.” John 13:34-35 NIV On this 74th year of Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, I join all others in prayer that our Covenant Keeping God will restore the lost glory… []
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” (II Corinthians 5:7 NKJV). Abraham is the Father of Faith, not just because of the title, but because of what he went through before finally arriving at the blessing. In this age and time, most people want the glory but are not prepared to pay the price. This microwave mentality is crippling so many believers because their… []
1. TO WORSHIP AND HONOR GOD “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”John 4:24 | NKJV There are several reasons why God created you, but I will touch on the cardinal three points. The number one reason you were created is to worship and honor God all the days of your life. Your presence on this earth is… []
Isaiah 40:31: But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Many years ago, I had a revelation of an older man in his eighties and another younger man in his twenties, both of them were walking down a very rough and… []
“13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD , and I will restore your fortunes… Jeremiah 29:13-14a.” The above scripture shows how eager and willing God is ready to have a deep, intimate and lasting relationship with us as individuals. I hope you understand that finding God… []
I consider my trip to Godro Forest in the Republic of Benin, a spiritual pilgrimage. Months before Mommy Edith Oshoffa invited me to support the SBJ Oshoffa School Complex, the Lord had spoken to me in the dream that an invitation was coming from Edith, and I must respond to the call. When I finally got the invitation, I quickly purchased my flight ticket and… []
THE CROWN AT IMEKO PARISH ONE After thirty-two years in the United States, I decided to visit Imeko city, the year the Church turned 70 years, as led by the Holy Spirit, and see the progress made since after the transition of the Pastor Founder. The message I received from the very first Prophetess I met as I drove into Imeko focused on the particular… []
Most new members in the Celestial Church of Christ do not seem to understand the role of Mommy Edith Oshoffa because they have been lied to for 36 years. During a recent discussion, I asked one of the male children of Papa Oshoffa how come some of the elders of the church are against Edith Oshoffa. He said her only offense is because she wants… []
There is divine timing for every genuine revelation from God.—Dr. Jack Deere. Abraham spent twenty-five years waiting for God to fulfill his promise. Joseph had a dream at age 17, but it was at age 30 his dream was fulfilled. David was anointed king when he was in his teens by Prophet Samuel of Israel, but he was 30 years before the plan materialized, and… []
Some of you may wonder why all these write-ups. The truth of the matter is that for 33 years, I was silent. The first time I revealed my identity was on September 9, 2018, at CCC Beulah Parish, Ajah, Lagos, Nigeria, at Mommy Edith Oshoffa’s home Church as directed by the Holy Spirit. The original plan was for her to share my story with family… []
In her book SBJ Oshoffa, the Enigmatic Spiritual leader of our time, Edith Oshoffa emphasized the significance of the number 38 by revealing that her father started Celestial Church of Christ when he was 38 years, he pastored the Church for 38 years, his body was in the mortuary for 38 days. This is just a plain simple observation of a pattern she observed in… []
How are giving and obedience related to good health? The question concerning the connection between giving, obedience, and health can only be answered by faith and the revelation of God’s Word. We might as well ask how we know that God exists, how we know that believing in Christ brings salvation, and how we know that the Holy Spirit is a person. The simple answer… []
Not all prophecies, visions, and dreams are from God. The devil, flesh, and the world can play critical roles in revelations, interpretation, and application. Just because you saw a vision, had a dream or heard a voice does not mean God’s interacting. Even the very elect could sometimes be misled if they allow the flesh and other factors, including cultural sentiments, to eclipse the Spirit… []
Once the Holy Spirit started revealing the importance of numbers to me as it relates to the Celestial Church of Christ as spiritual markers, I appealed to Dr. Emmanuel Ayorinde to help with an article that will educate baby Christians on the significance of biblical numerology because I knew many would have challenges in this area. So he came up with the following article. “Many… []
The purpose of this writeup, like all others I have written, is to continue to narrate my story as directed by the Holy Spirit. To raise the alarm that what the Holy Spirit said through Papa SBJ Oshoffa is correct and there was no error. This is to defend and protect the legacy, dignity, and integrity of Papa SBJ Oshoffa and CCC Worldwide. It’s a… []
How do our choices factor in? God creates us as free moral agents. Every waking hour, we are making choices, and the choices we make will almost always determine whether we are happy or not. Can we decide to be satisfied when fortunes are lost, trust is betrayed, and hope is snatched away? Yes, we can. True happiness is not just the result of the… []
Papa SBJ Oshoffa never said that miracles would choose his successor. The reason why miracles cannot be the standard was that anybody with enough faith could fake miracles. Scripture warns: “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare… []
What is the spiritual significance of the blood as it relates to healing and health? According to Scripture and medical science, blood represents life. The giving and receiving of blood represents the giving of life. From the beginning, God’s wrath was averted through blood sacrifice. Ultimately it was still the blood of Christ that closed the deal with God. Without the shared blood of Christ… []
When Papa SBJ Oshoffa said the Holy Spirit would choose his successor, he meant that the Holy Spirit would personally be responsible for carrying out the job in ways that will prove beyond doubt that it is not by man’s effort. I will try and summarize a few of those unique events that cannot be easily replicated by others in a timeline format: 1976 through… []
Our God took great pleasure in entering into a covenant relationship with us. A covenant is a divine oath initiated by God for the benefit of all people. Our covenant relationship with God is the solid foundation on which our faith is built. God is a God of structure and order. He operates based on divine principles. Faith comes when these truths illuminate our hearts…. []
The purpose of this article is not to judge, criticize or condemn any individual for the role they had played individually or collectively since the transition of our father in the Lord, Papa SBJ Oshoffa. To a large extent, many were sincere and correct about fighting to protect the Founder’s seat from the wrong occupants. However, they were sincerely wrong. Our leaders wanted peace and… []
This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it Psalm 118:24 The first step to true happiness must begin with the moral, spiritual, physical, and emotional development of the person. It is now common knowledge that positive, happy people enjoy the benefits of better health, are more fit and energetic, accomplish more goals, and have less illness and… []
“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” Galatians 6:9 NKJV. 1 For everything, there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1).” When it comes to time, there are two critical Greek words to pay attention to Kairos and Chronos. This is important because the… []
For years, the Celestial Church of Christ had experienced a ferocious leadership crisis that has left the church divided since the departure of our beloved Pastor Founder on September 10th, 1985. Long live EMF Oshoffa, Long live the Board of Trustees, Long live the Pastor in Council, Long live CCC Worldwide. They have all tried their best with the circumstances they found themselves in. As… []
DR. Emmanuel Ayorinde is both spirit-filled and a world-respected Engineer. He graduated from MIT in the United States with honors. Both of us, by God’s grace, started CCC Uniben Parish together in 1984 in Benin City. He is a highly respected scholar. We co-authored the book Rev. SBJ Oshoffa Vindicated together. His Father switched from Cherubim and Seraphim in the sixties and became an active… []
When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers! 2 Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can’t you decide even these little things among yourselves? 3 Don’t you… []
Logos is a Greek word that deserves our careful attention. This word has been the focus of discussion by many philosophers and biblical scholars. Its interpretation varies widely depending on who is defining it. However, most scholars agree that logos have creative power and seem to impact the entire universe. It is a challenge for our human minds to comprehend what logos fully stand for…. []
Gratitude is the shortest distance to the heart of God. Like love, it is a positive state of mind that has the potential to generate divine energy, thereby making life move the way God intended it to. Unfortunately, few people understand the power of gratitude. Some wrong thinkers see it as a sign of weakness since it makes them feel less powerful, but just the… []
The main focus of Baba Owodunni’s speech during my visit on Friday, January 31ST, 2020, was the 1980 CCC Constitution, of which he was part of the original framer. He said after they finished writing the 54-page constitution, which took four years to draft because the Pastor Founder took time to make sure that there was no error or mistake. Once the draft was completed,… []
Those who charge people money for their prayers are not following in the footsteps of Christ. Scripture says: “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (Matt. 10:8). God did not charge us a dime to receive his power. All the spiritual gifts listed in the Scriptures are given by the Holy Spirit… []
To be spiritually responsible, we must first understand that we are spiritual beings created in the image and likeness of the divine God who said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and overall the creatures that move along… []

HAPPY RESURRECTION SUNDAY TO ONE AND ALL THE WORD: 1 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week, began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for… []
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19 God is the source of all healing, irrespective of methods. Divine healing, in my opinion, is the overall method by which God can heal us. The word divine, as it is used here, means… []
HOLY WEEK DEVOTIONAL FOR SATURDAY APRIL 3RD 2021 WHAT HAPPENED ON SATURDAY OF THE PASSION WEEK? OUR LORD WAS DEAD AND BURIED. A TIME OF DEEP REFLECTION BY THE APOSTLES, DISCIPLES AND FAMILY MEMBERS. THE WORD: “In His humiliation, His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth.” (Acts 8:33 NKJV). “He was oppressed and… []
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. (Revelation 12:11). Years ago, I had a major crisis with my health. It is amazing how one moment we can look so healthy and full of life, and within the twinkling of an eye, all that… []
HOLY WEEK DEVOTIONAL FOR FRIDAY APRIL 3RD 2021 WHAT HAPPENED ON FRIDAY OF THE PASSION WEEK? SINFUL MEN MURDERED JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH THE WORD “Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king… []
There was a Jewish rabbi who went to Jesus and addressed Him as Good Master. Jesus replied that there is none good except God the Father. I believe He gave this reply to make a point. Jesus most likely saw that this man had an issue with self-righteousness. In the ensuing discussion, we see that the rabbi claimed to have kept all the laws as… []
HOLY WEEK DEVOTIONAL FOR THURSDAY APRIL 1ST, 2021 WHAT HAPPENED ON THURSDAY OF THE PASSION WEEK? JESUS TRAVAILED IN PRAYER THE WORD 36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be… []
What is the spirit of fear? There is both healthy and unhealthy fear. Healthy fear protects and inspires. For instance, when the fear of disease keeps people from eating junk food, smoking, etc. Such worries are considered beneficial because they bring about a good end-result—health and wellness. Unhealthy fear, on the other hand, cripples, contaminates, frustrates, and kills. Although fear was intended to be an… []
WHAT HAPPENED ON WEDNESDAY OF THE PASSION WEEK? Most scholars describe Wednesday passion week as “Silent Wednesday” because no specific teachings were recorded for Christ for the day. Nevertheless, we can meditate on one of Jesus’s classic teachings of all time. THE WORD “This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to… []
The human will is the engine that drives everything we want to become. At the creation, one gift that God gave to man is the power of free-will. The will to do or not to do is unique to humans. God created all of us in his image and likeness as free moral agents. We are independent creatures from birth. That is why any attempt… []
