Anointed Prophet Emmanuel Adetunji Adeonigbagbe,Founder,Celica Church Of Christ by Kunlecelica(m): 11:09am On Jan 21, 2013
Emmanuel Adetunji Abiodun Adeonigbagbe was born on Christmas day December 25th, 1951 in the town of Oke-Odan,Ogun State to the family of Late Pa Samuel Adeonigbagbe and Late Madam Alice Adeonigbagbe. He was born into a modest but honourable family from Ilesha town, Osun State. Before his birth it has been predicted to the Mother (Alice) that the unborn baby would be a powerful man of God, that no herbs or incisions should be used on him. The mother adhered strictly to these warnings and allowed no herbs to be used on him and made sure no incisions was cut on any part of his body.
In far away Ayesan town,Ondo State where Emmanuel’s grandmother Emily Eyitayo lived, it had also been foretold to her that her father would re-incarnate. The father (Emily’s) was a powerful herbalist but it was prophesied that her grandson would be powerful, would not make use of herbs but use water to heal. These two women kept this prophecy close to their hearts and jealously guarded that no herbs was used on the young Adetunji. His father (Adetunji’s) died when he was four years old and he had to move to Ayesan town, Odigbo LGA in Ondo State to live with his maternal grandmother.
The young Adetunji was loved by his grandmother and he loved her in return. She spoilt him and never allowed him to do household chores. She always called him my father (Baba mi) as she believed he was a reincarnation of her dead father.
An incident happened which changed the entire course of the boy’s life. The grandmother fell sick to the point of death and the young Adetunji was distraught and crying. He hid himself in a corner and wept bitterly because he loved her so much then to the surprise of the boy he heard a voice asking him “if he wanted his grandmother to be healed. The boy asked the voice who he was and the voice replied “I am the Lord Jesus Christ”. The boy answered “Yes” and the Lord then told him that he must never bow down to an idol or engage in fetish things. The boy responded positively to this command and the Lord sealed the covenant between himself and the boy. The Lord told the boy to fetch a basin of stream water, pour a perfume into it, keep it outside till 3pm and at 6pm the grandmother should use the water to bath. Alas, the granny got well after using the water. Thus this formed the foundation of the call of Adetunji Adeonigbagbe, he was 7 years old at this period. Immediately after this encounter with God he started seeing visions but which he could not comprehend.

Young Adetunji spent his early life and attended primary school in Ayesan “Anglican Primary School. He was later taken by his elder brother Most Senior Apostle Adeonigbagbe now Baba Aladura in the Cherubim & Seraphim Church to Ijebu-Ode to Muslim College, Ijebu-Ode for his secondary school education.
He joined the boys scout and was given a scholarship to proceed to United Kingdom but he refused because of an earlier divine message from God to him. God told him he must not travel overseas then so that his glory will become very great The Lord told him if he waited for his time, hundreds of people will come to welcome him like a king overseas. He heeded to the Lord’s call. He later proceeded to The Apostolic Teacher’s Training College Ilesha for his grade II certificate in 1975; he distinguished himself morally, academically and spiritually in the college. He was a natural leader and organizer. He passed out from the school and was posted to St Brendants Primary School,Kumapayi, Ibadan.He was later transferred to Lalupon as a teacher in I.D.C. School and I.D.C Bodunde,Ibadan respectively. He later rose to become the Headmaster
He met his wife Agnes Mofoluwake nee Abimbola at the school. The Lord told him that the new teacher posted to his school was the wife he had chosen for him.They courted and got married later.

THE DIVINE CALL
His elder brother Most Senior Apostle Adeonigbagbe was a member of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church and thus he was obliged to attend the church. He grew spiritually and never failed in his duties in the church. He changed quite a few people with his good character, dedication, honesty and sincerity of worship.A particular encounter which came to mind is that of the leader of the church he attended then he (Adetunji) decided that he would always give an extra amount of money to the man apart from the tithe. On a fateful day he had dropped his tithe for the leader at his home, as Adetunji was going back home he discovered that he had not given the leader the extra envelope of money so he immediately turned back towards the man’s house alas he found the religious leader playing pools!
The leader was dumbfounded and was panicky but Adetunji simply said “Sir, I have come to give you the extra money I vowed in my heart to always give you at the month’s end, good-bye sir and he left for his own house. After a few days, the leader called him and asked him why he did not abuse him or report him to the church elders. Adetunji replied, “What is my business with what you do? Mine is simply to obey, God’s command, whatever you do with the money is no concern of mine”. The leader then promised that because of Adetunji’s behaviour he would no longer indulge in pools-betting!
Prophet Adetunji later had a dream in which he was told to sew the white Garment (Suntana) and keep for 7 years. God later directed Prophet Adetuni Adeonigbagbe to go into the Celestial fold. He joined Celestial Church of Christ, Erunmu then under the shepherd Evangelist Oyelese. He distinguished himself in prophetic duties that his fame spread within and outside the environs.He was a teacher in Lalupon and immediately he finished in school he would report to the church premises to start writing spiritual messages for people being prophesied for.A surprising thing then was that even before the prophet in spirit utters messages prophet Adetunji has already known it divinely and written it down.The Lord later directed Prophet Adetunji to go to the church premises, be in spiritual confinement and observe a forty days fasting eating only fruits. That is the foundation of the great power God has bestowed on him.
The prophets in the church tried to discourage him from observing the fast saying “the Holy Spirit does not descend on a plump person because he had quite a bit of fat then but he was never discouraged. He continually fasted and prayed for the gift of the Holy Spirit. On the 40th day, he was transformed and the Holy Spirit came down powerfully upon him. He became known as a true prophet of God and people came from far and wide to have spiritual consultations with him. He would walk from Ibadan to Erunmu to prophesy and do spiritual works for people, his wife tagging along and the people he wanted to assist spiritually would drive past him without giving him a lift.
He left Erunmu in 1984 and the Lord directed him to a thick forest and chose a site for him as the place where he was to build a church. The Lord told him the land is divinely chosen out of his love (Ifeoluwatedo) and that the forest will become a town. The prophet bought the land and named it “Celestial Church of Christ” Km 7, Ifeoluwatedo Avenue, Ibadan. He spiritually chose Kilometer 7 and when the surveyors measured the stretch of road, the junction of the church on New Ife Road was actually 7 kilometres! Another surprising event occurred when the church auditorium was being built, Raffia fronds and bamboo was constructed as a temporary hall for the church. When it is raining at the junction, the rain would not reach the temporary hall.
The Founder of Celestial Church of Christ, Rev. S.B.J. Oshoffa loved the Prophet Adetunji and always called him “My friend”. On a particular visit to Papa Oshoffa, the prophet Adeonigbagbe gave him money and he (Oshoffa) emptied his pockets and asked Prophet Adeonigbagbe if he knew he had no money on him. Papa Oshoffa removed his cap and place the money on his head and blessed prophet Adeonigbagbe thus saying “you will always be blessed and people will pay homage to you as they pay homage to me now”. However when the spirit of God is at work there are always counter forces of darkness on the other side. Some elders and prophets within the church fold grew envious of the prophet Adeonigbagbe and tried to find ways of stopping the work of God being done through prophet Adeonigbagbe.
At the first instance, the prophet Adeonigbagbe was the first person in Celestial Church of Christ who spoke in tongues so they went to report to the founder Rev. Oshoffa. The founder called Adeonigbagbe and instructed him not to speak in tongues anymore in his (Oshoffa) church, prophet Adeonigbagbe answered that the church belonged to the Lord Jesus Christ, which Papa Oshoffa acknowledged. Prophet Adeonigbagbe also pointed out some spiritual names used in the mode of worship which did not have origin in Yoruba or English language but were angelic languages and he knelt down and told the Papa Oshoffa to pray to “his God” to remove the tongues from his mouth as he laid his hands on him and started praying Prophet Adeonigbagbe went in spirit and started speaking in tongues! Papa Oshoffa had no choice than to let him be as this was the will of God that called Oshoffa.

ESTABLISHMENT OF CELICA CHURCH OF CHRIST
The Founder of Celestial church of Christ Rev. S.B.J. Oshoffa had said it repeatedly that the Holy Spirit would choose the next pastor. That succession to the seat of the pastor was not by rank or relationship, that the occupier of the seat could be from anywhere within the ranks in the church but Papa Oshoffa died in 1985 without anointing or choosing his successor. Afterwards the Celestial Church was thrown into crisis where different factions emerged.Before the demise of the founder of the Celestial church,Pastor Oshoffa the Lord had continually shown prophet Adeonigbagbe in a vision, a golden cup which was full of dirt inside and outside. The Lord told him to wash the cup, as he washed the cup, in continually became more dirty then the Lord told him that if he was not allowed to wash the cup, he should ask for a new cup but he declined repeatedly. Adeonigbagbe loved Papa Oshoffa and the celestial church so much but more importantly he had no ambition to establish a church.
In another vision Papa Oshoffa appeared to Prophet Adeonigbagbe he showed him (Adeonigbagbe) 21 louvers of which 18 had been broken.He told prophet Adeonigbagbe to try and join the louvers together again.At the burial of Rev. SBJ Oshoffa in Celestial City, Imeko when he was being lowered to the grave, the prophet Adeonigbagbe was there and started looking up at the sun. The sun shone so brightly and as the coffin was being lowered there was a spiritual exercise going on, there was transfer of spiritual power from Rev. SBJ Oshoffa to Prophet Adetunji Adeonigbagbe. In another vision Prophet Adetunji Adeonigbagbe was in a house which had several rooms, all the rooms except three had collapsed, one of the three rooms belong to prophet Adeonigbagbe, Papa Oshoffa then appeared and prophet Adeonigbagbe told him to enter the house but he refused. He told prophet Adeonigbagbe to command his room to come out the building to the space outside and when he did so it became a house on its own. Rev. Oshoffa then entered the house and conversed with the prophet. He led the prophet outside to a path and showed him a river. There were many people inside the river, it was polluted and dirty. Papa Oshoffa said he (Oshoffa) had allowed people into the river exclusively given to him by God and that they had polluted it.
He led him to another river and said thus will be you river now, you can see it is very clean and not polluted; do not let anyone fetch water from it except you. He said these words in Yoruba “Odo kan, Orisun kan” which translates as “One River, One Source”
In 1992, the Lord came to Prophet Adeonigbagbe again and asked him to ask for the descent of a new cup he declined as before but the Lord opened his mouth spiritually and the golden cup descended (a new dispensation). The Prophet Adeonigbagbe had no intention to form a new church so he asked the Lord Jesus Christ for signs to show that it was the will of God. His leg was lifted from the ground to mid-air as the first sign.
In another vision the Lord called Rev. Oshoffa, the Lord asked for the object deposited with him,Rev. Oshoffa said he had given it to an elderly prophet but the Lord Jesus Christ said this (Prophet Adeonigbagbe) is the rightful owner. The object was brought and the Lord placed the object in Prophet Adeonigbagbe’s body and it spiritually entered and disappeared within his body!
For over 30 years many had tried to know the source of the prophetic and spiritual powers bestowed on him by God.The prophet Adeonigbagbe himself does not know where God had hidden the source of spiritual power in his body!
In Celestial church of Christ, Yemetu, the Director of Prophets/Prophetesses Evangelist S. Ayo Bode now Most Snr. Bishop (Prof) S. Ayo Bode (in the Celica fold) had been directed spiritually by the Lord that he was going to be shown the new pastor he had chosen. Evangelist S.A. Bode thought a new pastor for the Celestial Church of Christ but how wrong he was!
As Evangelist Bode was in his house one day, a Celestial prophet in spirit drove to his house and told him to follow him. The prophet though in spirit drove all the way to Celestial church, Km 7, Ife Oluwatedo Avenue, Ibadan, on the way he requested for a chalk and they got one. When they reached the church premises there was no-one in sight so the prophet went to the door of the shepherd of the parish prophet Adeonigbagbe and wrote the Angelic language “EPASTORAL” which means The Pastor.
On October 28, 1992, a pastor told his congregation that the world was about to come to an end that they should start selling their properties and come and seek abode in the church. The pastor truly saw a sign but he didn’t get the correct interpretation. The whole church Celica Church of Christ (Km 7) were spiritually directed to assemble in the mercy land and were united in prayers and spirit then there was an eclipse of the sun spiritually this was announcing the arrival of a new dispensation.Immediately,the Holy Spirit descended on people and they started giving messages about the divine call of Celica.
The prophet Adeonigbagbe that day received three visitors spiritually and they (the four of them) went round the church auditorium seven times. These three visitors were St. Moses Orimolade Tunolase, Founder Cherubim and Seraphim church, Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, Founder Christ Apostolic Church and Rev. Samuel Bilewu Oshoffa, Founder, Celestial church of Christ all of blessed memory. After going round the church they told prophet Adeonigbagbe they had finished their assignments on earth that it was now his turn and they passed the baton to him.
This was one of the confirmations that he was being sent on a mission by God to the world. The Lord told him his call is divine and that he should open his bible and read Isaiah chapters 60 and 61 for the foundation of his call. During another vision the Lord also appeared to him (Adeonigbagbe) he placed a hot piece of rod in his hands that he should suffer what he (Jesus Christ) suffered too, he also put a garment on him which was too heavy for him (Adeonigbagbe) to carry but he said he will carry it and the Lord Jesus Christ later placed him on a white horse. The Lord Jesus Christ told him that during the time of Rev. Oshoffa a song was sung for him “Jesu ti joba (2ce) bi aiye fe bi aiye ko, Jesu ti joba” but that during his own time (Adeonigbagbe) this song will be sung “Kabiyesi, hosanna, eyin Jesu Kristi, Oba aiku, Egbe ga, Eyin Jesu o, Eyin Jesu Kristi, Oba aiku.
The Lord further took the prophet on a spiritual journey to heaven and placed his (Adeonigbagbe) hands on the throne of God.Prophet Adeonigbagbe’s head was turned backwards when he approached the throne which was dazzling and he heard the voice saying “This is the throne of God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit where you are coming too”.
In another vision, a dove which spiritually signifies love, purity, peace and humility brought two leaves, one dried and one fresh, on the fresh leaf, it was written “Celica Church of Christ, the Most glorious Church of Christ from Heaven. Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna!

The Lord has made several predictions through him most of which came to pass while several other decisions were averted through relentless prayers by men of God.Among the predictions are

2013
1. This is a year to move closer to God and wait on him. If people worship the Lord with devotion and in sincerity there is a bountiful harvest of blessings for such people. Move nearer to God to avert the grave occurrences which will take place in 2013.
2. A revered king in Osun state should pray against a disease of the lungs which may lead to his death.
3 .Let us pray against crisis and occurrences in Northwestern and North Central parts of Nigeria which may destabilize Nigeria.
4. Let us pray against the deaths of prominent Nigerians which may be greater than that of 2012
5. This is a year of vengeance says the Lord. Many leaders (Religious, traditional, political, judicial, economic) who are in the occult will be swept away. They will be disgraced
6. There will be serious crisis within the political parties in Nigeria
7. More evil secrets will be exposed this year.
8. Let us pray against death of youths in the country.
9. Let us pray against fire incidents especially in farms, vehicles and offices.
10. Let us pray against blood spills in Nigeria and globally.
11. Occurrences of greater dimension than 2012 will continue in Nigeria and globally from 2013 through 2015 unless serious prayers are offered to minimize the effect.
12. There will be great exposure of secrets of law enforcement and security agencies both in Nigeria and globally. Many officers have betrayed their agencies and their nations.
13. Do not eat food or drink anything whose source is unknown to you. This is one of the three mediums which the kingdom of Satan wants to use to cause havoc.
Men, do not have sexual relations with strange women. This may lead to strange illnesses which will defy all medical treatments
Women, do not be attracted by worldly goods from men especially the prominent ones this may lead to incurable diseases which will defy medical solution
WORLD
1. There will be no end to the crisis in the world as one crisis is being ended another will erupt, as one deadly group is vanquished another deadlier one will take its place. This is caused by the evil spiritual pollution of the atmosphere which is now greatly troubling the world. The 1000 years cycle of the occult has been broken and it is disturbing the world leading to uncontrollable crisis
2. There will be incidents/occurrences in India, Asian countries and Malawi both natural and train disasters unless prayers are offered to avert them.
3. There will be exposure of secrets in Afghanistan
4. Advanced countries will have serious crisis this could only be minimized by prayers.
5. A famous soccer star may pass away if prayers are not offered on his behalf
6. There will be serious breaches in the security network of advanced countries
2012

Nigeria to be or not to be,2012 is a defining year. If the Nigerian nation breaks up, only the Yoruba nation will stand the other parts will still break up. Only serious prayers and intercessions by men of God both Islamic and Christian will prevent this occurrence.
All the crisis, natural disasters, violence, riots that has been happening all over the world from year 2011,the worst is still yet to come; this is just a tip of the iceberg.Be very prayerful henceforth; make the Lord your shepherd and protector.2012 is a year where everyone must move nearer to the Lord, you must be fervent in prayers and supplications for God’s protection, mercy and blessings. The heavens have fallen down on earth that is why you are witnessing all this calamities. The satanic forces have fallen on the earth because their power has been broken. The cycle of their occult power is 1000 years and the 1000 years has ended, their terrestrial powers have been broken and it is disturbing the earth.
Mysterious things will start happening, mysteries you can’t explain, people will go up in arms against each other. There will be sicknesses, people will fall sick easily and die within 6 -18 hours. Political, traditional, judicial, economic and religious leaders will be swept away because the terrestrial/astral power they depend on has been broken.
Men of God who are still truly in Christ who have not polluted themselves with astral/occultic/terrestrial powers will see details of this vision and they will be prepared spiritually for the occurrences that will occur. It is at this time that you will know the true and faithful men of God who have not seeked occult and terrestrial powers.You will know the Lord has spoken when it happens.

2011

You will hear unpleasant/unbelievable stories (Iroyin Kayefi) throughout the year.It would sound untrue but it is true when all this happens you will know that it comes from mouth of the Lord!
Globally
1.There will be great occurrences and incidents in West Africa, East Africa and the Arab world.
2.Let us pray against natural disasters in 2011.
