She was a paragon of beauty not long ago. She now wears a new but frightening look. But when 30 year-old Prophetess Folashade Esther Ogunseye of the Celestial Church Genesis Model Parish Agbado, Ogun state went into trance for seven days sometime in July this year, she warned her church members not to celebrate the feat for her.

But they would have none of that as they insisted on rolling out the drums. So on the fateful day, they prepared food and practically dragged her to the church where they danced round her to celebrate the spiritual feat.

In the midst of the celebration, one of the church workers called Elijah allegedly sprayed perfume known in celestial parlance as Ona La on the dancers without taking cognizance of lighted candles which some of them were holding.

Alas the perfume caught fire and Sade was set ablaze along with three other members who had joined in the celebration. A pastor in the church who had come to rescue them was also affected by the fire.

However, Sade was the worst-hit as she suffered severe burns. So the once delectable Sade has been turned to a monster of sort.

While speaking with Saturday Tribune at her residence, No 77 Osopitan bus-stop, Agbado recently, the Abeokuta-born single lady said she was still at a loss as to why such a terrible fate befell her even as she blamed her church members for her predicament.

“I had warned them not to celebrate the trance for me; that I didn’t want noise. Rather, I asked them to pray for me silently, but they refused. This was not the first time I would be going into a trance; the ill-fated one happened to be my fourth. Aside this, I warned Elijah not to pour perfume on me, but he didn’t listen, see what has happened now,” she lamented.

According to her, the fire incident might also be a spiritual attack from the enemies of somebody she prayed for while in the spirit. “Maybe, I prayed for somebody when I was in the spirit and the thing now bounced back on me during the celebration,” she added.

Saturday Tribune learnt that immediately after the incident, Sade and other victims of the fire were rushed to a private hospital near the church from where they were taken to the General Hospital, Orile-Agege the following day for a better medical attention from where they were later discharged. However, while others have made considerable progress and have since returned to the church, Sade could not because of the severity of her condition.

She said: “I cannot do anything as I am. I always feel hot. My neck is always paining me. I can’t wear my clothes. I cannot sleep unless the fan is on. My neck region is always paining me. I have to put ice-block or pour cold water on myself to reduce the heat. For how long will I do this?”

Although she commended the shephered in charge of the church, Prophet Oladele Ogundipe and other members of the church for taking very good care of her since the incident occurred, she sought the support of other well-meaning Nigerians to restore her to her former position.

“My church has been so wonderful to me. The shephered, his mum, the church patron and other members of the church have promised to help me. But I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Nobody will be ready to marry me in my present condition. I’m not even comfortable with myself. This is why I am appealing to members of the public to join my church in assisting me to get over my present condition,” she added.

She is to blame for her predicament- Shephered- In- Charge.

Meanwhile, the Shephered-In- Charge of the church, Prophet Ogundipe absolved himself of any blame in the incident, claiming Sade should be held responsible for her present predicament. According to him, she and other members of the church who joined in the celebration went against the rules and regulation of the church. “In the Celestial church, there is nothing like trance or going to the mountains for seven days. In our church, we don’t do any trance celebration, we don’t go to streams or the bush; we are not fetish and we don’t do anything barbaric. I have always warned all church members to steer clear of anything that is not in the vision of the church,” he added.

Though he said he and the chairman of the church were not around on the fateful day, he gave an account of what must have caused the fire: “People have been saying it was a strange fire but there is nothing like that. It was the perfume that was poured on her that caught fire because of the lighted candle at the altar. This is a lesson to everybody that if they want to employ anybody, they should not employ an illiterate because they would not know how to handle things.”

He told Saturday Tribune that the church member(Elijah) that allegedly sprayed the perfume had been sacked and disgraced from the church. On the steps the church had taken since the incident, Ogundipe explained: “Immediately the incident happened, they took them to a private hospital nearby. But I insisted they should be transferred to a government hospital for the purpose of transparency because we have nothing to hide. We also reported the incident to the police because I know bad news spreads wide.”

He added: “So far, the church has spent over N800,000 on Sade and the three others that were affected by the incident. We employed somebody to take care of Sade at home. The church gives her N5,000 weekly. We bought a fan and a generator for her and we rent air-conditioned vehicles to take her to the hospital whenever she has an appointment. We had to stop the on-going construction work at the church because of these expenses.”

He however condemned Sade’s general attitude to her situation: “She asked to be discharged from the General Hospital, Orile-Agege when she was still receiving treatment. Even the medical personnel are not happy with her attitude.”

When Saturday Tribune suggested the idea of reconstructive surgery to Prophet Ogundipe, he said he was not sure the church would be able to foot the bill for now even as he added that there had been assurance from experts that the wounds would heal naturally.

“A physiotherapist at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital(LASUTH) has said that it will take between two to three years for the wounds to heal completely because the trauma is still there. They are still applying some drugs for now and may not need any reconstructive surgery.”

Interesting. brb

Speechless

Finished reading it, so the blooody illiterates do not know that perfume is flammable? Now this thread has qualified illiteracy to a spiritual attack.

Na wa o, so many things wrong at the same time.

She should never wallow in self pity,that will kill and destroy her faster than a hail of bullets.


Dust yourself and move on with your life with more serious determination.

What has happened has happened. Learn from it.

Respect to the head of this church.
He is a compassionate man

I like the way the shepherd in charge is handling the issue!

virtuoso01: She should never wallow in self pity,that will kill and destroy her faster than a hail of bullets.

It is a very serious thing she is going through in case you are not aware.

She is in great distress / depression - and completely given up hope of finding a husband or leading a normal life again. Her spirit is broken - she is in spiritual darkness at the moment. And is very susceptible to dark influences (more than before). She needs prayers too - her faith is being challenged.

I have once lost my sight for about 3 months for reasons unknown by medical doctors/eye specialists. I thought i would never see again and the next thing that i started thinking about how i was going to spend the rest of my life that way, to become blind at the age of 20yrs is almost unimmaginable.

Also, a woman at the age of 30yrs without a husband will start getting desperate, and to sustain this kind of accident at this particular time can be extreme. She needs a lot of emotional strength and time to heal.

She also needs to see a professional burns and plastics surgeon, i can see some likely contractures and permanent deformity from those injuries. I hope they took her to a specialist and not just a private clinic where they just do patch patch.

I will try follow up the case, possibly, i might be of help somehow. Please do anyone on this thread know the woman or the members of the church in question?

i feel for this lady
i know pastor ogundipe. A very good and honest man

There are some future fortunes that even a 7day trance won't reveal...How sad

;DLMAO!!!!! Dts Pathetic!

@topic. I'm speechless...

Btw that picture looks like photo shop to me...

Take her to Synagogue Church of All Nations and the wound will be gone.

annajess: i feel for this lady

That sounds good. Any way i can get his phone number? I will like to reach out to help.

well i feel for her o. when i was in cele, this issue of going into trance or spiritual mountain isnt really a thing i like. it still happens to date in some cele churches. they mostly celebrate them (prophets/prophetess') in trance and after they gain consciousness.

I like dele ogundipe. He's one of the enlightened prophet in cele doing away with these traditions. He learnt a lot from my late pastor.

Sweetdbest: Take her to Synagogue Church of All Nations and the wound will be gone.

this is a pathetic response

God will her

The issue of going into trance in itself is as demonic as it sounds.

illiteracy at it's worst. God.

Cele dnt go to streams......so why are their church located close to streams.....just learnt a new one......wishin her Quick recovery.....IJN

It is sympathetic, i mean 4 the young prophetess. The circumstances sorrounding this injury to me is what i call ignorance, ignominy and ignoramus infact, any word that starts with 'igno' all were combined to infringe this expensive injury on the prophetess.
Nevertheless, the name of the initiator of this injury is also a case study. I mean Elijah, why is Elijah alwayz associated with fire even where there is no need for fire? Pls people should stop giving their children Elijah as a name, girls dont date or consider marrying Elijah and people generally, should be careful when dealing with Elijahs.
Until these recommendations are strictly adhered to, Elijah will continue to be a nightmare to mankind. The fear of Elijah is the begining of wisdom.

The way they do that their trance to me is somewhat demonic in a way. 7 whole days? What was she doing on the other side for so long?

Firstly, i wish her quick recovery. Second, can someone now please tell me the essence of her going into a trance when she could not foresee this befalling her?

Lolz@ not naming one's child elijah.

God Shows you what he wants , and FYI prophets can't prophesy τ̅☺ themselves or a Family member they'll need other Prophets τ̅☺ help them do that, Only The Son(Lord) i learnt knew how he was gonna die and resurrect and so many Other things. If you've learnt of any other person that can do that, i'll be glad τ̅☺ learn thanks.

toba: what does this tell us?

What were you expecting it τ̅☺ tell you?

this happened in Church while celebrating a supposed spiritual 'act-of-God'. So who do you blame - God, Jesus or the devil?
