The Celican choir held a week long programme of events which included three nights of revival from Wednesday June 5th-Friday, June 7th, 2013 tagged Praises, Prayers and Prophecy. Men of God and gospel artistes from different denominations ministered at the powerful event. On Sunday the grand finale took place where the founder, His Eminence, Anointed Prophet Emmanuel Adetunji Adeonigbagbe gave the sermon titled Pride (Igberaga).He admonished the choristers to always use the gifts for God. He said the Lord just bestowed the gift of singing or playing the instrument on them not because they were better than others. It is because the Lord wanted them to use the gifts in worshiping him, praising him, giving people hope and joy and reconciling people back to God through their songs. You must never allow pride to enter your hearts and he quoted from the book of proverbs chapters 11 vs. 2, 8 vs. 13, 16 vs. 18, Psalm 5 vs. 5 and 1st Samuel 17 vs. 4-49.He cited the example of Goliath and David using them to illustrate Pride and humility. Goliath was a champion, skilled fighter and a giant. He was full of pride in himself but he was humbled and disgraced by David.

Anointed Prophet Adeonigbagbe also talked about the current trends among the gospel artistes .He said in the past the world copied music from the church but nowadays the church is copying music from the world. Many gospel artistes copy lyrics from fuji, juju, hi-life, makossa, R n B etc and just change it to gospel music. They lack the creativity to compose their own songs like past gospel musicians.

There is no originality in most gospel songs nowadays unlike that of old generals like Ayewa,Bola Are,Funmi Araigbaye,Dupe Solana,Pa Akinpelu,Good women choir, Sola Rotimi, Akin Adebayo, Bayo Adegboyega etc..He said it is saddening that there are not many gospel artiste who can take over from that generation therefore people go back to the old songs for inspiration,hope,joy,comfort in God etc. Most of the current gospel song lacks spirituality which would really touch your heart and reconcile people with God. He talked about old hymns from the orthodox churches.

He however thanked God that songs and hymns inspired by the Holy Spirit can still be found in some churches such as Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Christ Apostolic Church, Celestial Church of Christ, Celica Church of Christ, ECWA etc. He noted there must be a marked difference between a chorister and musicians of the world.

The founder congratulated the choirmaster general for the successful conclusion of the anniversary. He said that he was happy because the choirmaster General Prophet Dayo Olowokere Fapojuwo (Master Dee) was emulating his daddy Special Apostle Fapojuwo of blessed memory who was the choirmaster general of Cherubim and Seraphim Church Movement Ayo Ni O. He urged him to continue in the footsteps of King David who composed spiritually inclined and thought provoking psalms in the bible.
