Christianity EtcRe: Pictures From The 20th-Year Anniversary Of Celica Church Of Christ by Kunlecelica(op): 10:16am On Mar 04, 2013
deebrain: Even satan himself will be suprised at the way we humans behave. What will we not say or do to open a new church? What is this?

@op, please drink responsibly..
You cannot fathom how God works, Isa 55 vs 8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts nor your ways my ways says the Lord, for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than my ways and my thoughts higher than my thoughts” We should be careful when talking about Anointed Prophets of God, they are God’s mouthpiece.

These are biblical references to back up the activities in most white garment churches as directed by God. However in Celica church of Christ we do say we do not need to justify our actions to people because we are led by Holy Spirit. We only need to back up our activities with this biblical reference John 14 vs 26 “the holy spirit will come and help you because the father will send the spirit to take my place. The spirit will teach you everything and will remind you of what I said while I was with you” and also from John 16 vs 13”but when he,the spirit of truth ,comes he will speak only what he hears and he will tell u what is yet to come. It is the holy spirit that directs us on what we do at all times .That is what we stand on.

Ladyshanet: So na dead pple dey bless d church auditorum,wat a vision!!!...smh
The establishment of the four churches is not a man-made idea but by the divine order of our Lord Jesus Christ.the founder of the 4 denominations were truly commissioned by our Lord Jesus Christ to liberate the earth from darkness, they are Anointed Prophets. The preceeding 3 patriarchs are resting in the bosom of their Lord and are still working in their various churches to this day. That is why there are still signs and wonders when their members call on the God of Orimolade,Babalola and Oshoffa to this day.
To butress this read Mark 9 vs 1-12,Matt 17 vs 1=13”after 6 days Jesus took Peter,James and John to a high mountain where they were alone. there he was transfigured before them, his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them and there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus .as they were coming down he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until he was raised from the dead.” Therefore the 3 founders are not dead spiritually but still living and working spiritually in their various denominations. That is why they are able to appear to prophet Adeonigbagbe and gave him the baton to continue the mandate which our Lord Jesus Christ sent them to do in the world.

Lovine: I don't judge anyone but these so called white garment churches are agents of darkness and drink fornication like water and there is no righteousness in them. I don't know the god they worship, but it may not be the God of heaven and earth. Their life styles does not speak of God of heaven, sorry
”MATT 7 VS 1-2 “DO NOT JUDGE OR U TOO WILL BE JUDGED.FOR IN THE SAME WAY U JUGDE OTHERS,U WILL BE JUDGED AND WITH THE SAME MEASURE U USE,IT WILL BE MEASURED TO U AND PSALM 105 VS 15”DO NOT TOUCH MY ANOINTED ONES,DO MY PROPHETS NO HARM.“

DIVISIONS IN CHRISTENDOM

Many people have negative opinions and misconceptions about white garment churches. .It is not their fault but as a result of some negative actions by some people within the fold. You must understand that even among the Lord’s disciples there was a Judas. There are some Judases among the fold and it cuts across Christendom from orthodox, pentescostal, gospel to spiritual churches. Spiritual churches are more pronounced because we have a uniform, our garments of glory. let us not stain our garments of glory “with palm oil”.It is up to the youths in the spiritual churches, we must begin a massive re-orientation, reformation and revitalization in our various denominations. Let us imbibe the values of the founding fathers, zeal for the Lord, selfless service, love for humanity ,fairness,tolerance,dedication,obedience to God’s directives, discipline,truthfulness and sincerity, honour and most importantly showing the way of salvation which is our Lord Jesus Christ.

The kingdom of satan causes divisions, fights, disagreement and misunderstanding. That is its work,it is normal therefore that Satan is waging war against Christendom. Christendom should be united against the kingdom of Satan instead we are having differences. Let us not discriminate, our Lord Jesus Christ is the same so no matter which side he shows u. What he only wants is for us to serve him and he wants to draw people to himself that is why he descended different types of churches .If u don’t worship in one, u will worship in another, just serve the Lord Jesus Christ faithfully.
John 10 vs. 1-6 “ There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheepfold, I must bring them too: they will listen to my voice and they will become one flock with one shepherd” ( all churches who serve our Lord Jesus Christ truthfully and faithfully). God himself will expose those who are corrupting the good works of great men of God who are truly called,who have not mixed with the occult or polluted their calls.The time is at hand and there will be great surprise across Christendom when secrets are exposed.
Remain blessed in Jesus name,Hosanna,Hosanna,Hosanna.

whiteeyes: Pls am juist curiouslly thinking...why is it that Yoruba pp are mostly associated with these white garment-wearing churches? Haba! I've never heard of this Celica church, what is the meaning?
Go to my profile and read about it or go on the net.
Christianity EtcRe: Pictures From The 20th-Year Anniversary Of Celica Church Of Christ by Kunlecelica(op): 10:03am On Mar 04, 2013
I read the views of people while analyzing their various comments and opinions I saw mostly misconceptions about the church. For a start we were members of the Celestial Church of Christ until 1992 when the Lord directed us to pull out and build another spiritual ark known as” Celica Church of Christ “therefore I will analyze specifically on Celestial Church of Christ, Celica Church of Christ, other white garment churches generally as well as Christ Apostolic Church. To begin with the Lord Jesus Christ descended the spiritual ark called Celestial Church of Christ in 1947 through prophet SBJ Oshoffa, it’s predecessors were Cherubim and Seraphim Church through prophet Moses Orimolade and Christ Apostolic church through Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola. The Lord Jesus Christ revealed to the founder of Celica Church of Christ, the Anointed Prophet Adetunji Adeonigbagbe that he raised these prophets for liberation of people from darkness.
The establishment of the four churches is not a man-made idea but by the divine order of our Lord Jesus Christ.the founder of the 4 denominations were truly commissioned by our Lord Jesus Christ to liberate the earth from darkness, they are Anointed Prophets. The preceeding 3 patriarchs are resting in the bosom of their Lord and are still working in their various churches to this day. That is why there are still signs and wonders when their members call on the God of Orimolade,Babalola and Oshoffa to this day.
To butress this read Mark 9 vs 1-12,Matt 17 vs 1=13”after 6 days Jesus took Peter,James and John to a high mountain where they were alone. there he was transfigured before them, his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them and there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus .as they were coming down he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until he was raised from the dead.” Therefore the 3 founders are not dead spiritually but still living and working spiritually in their various denominations. That is why they are able to appear to prophet Adeonigbagbe and gave him the baton to continue the mandate which our Lord Jesus Christ sent them to do in the world.Prophet Adeonigbagbe’mandate can be found in in Isaiah 60 and 61 quoting chapter 61 vs 1’the spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me becos the Lord has anointed ,me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners”









TENETS AND DOCTRINES

The Lord Jesus Christ told the four founders to establish the church based strictly on his spiritual directives so they must obey God rather than men Acts 5 vs 34-39”for if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is from God you will not be able to stop them; you will only find yourself fighting against God; however we boldly say we must obey God rather than men” since the establishment of the churches are divine..The doctrines he gave each of them was what each followed no matter whose ox was gored and the resultant effect was the large followership which their church organization enjoyed when the great spiritual powers bestowed on them all were recognized by people. The Cherubim and Seraphim Church wore shoes on their garment outside the church premises but not within the church premises, the Christ Apostolic church wore different clothes to church and wore shoes in the church while Ayo Babalola most times wore his flowing garment as directed by God, the Celestial Church under Oshoffa wore no shoes on their garments according to God’s spiritual directives likewise Celica Church of Christ the only difference being the blue cross on the left hand side of the Celican garment.
Another major difference is in the chant of praise, Cherubim- Halleluyah, Iye, CAC- Halleluyah, CCC- Halleluyah, Hosanna, Ebenezer to the four corners of the earth and in Celica-Hosanna, Iyin, Ogo to the four corners of the earth. These are God’s directives to the founders which must be obeyed at all times irrespective of people’s opinion. In all altars in Celestial and Celica there is the picture of Jesus Christ, in all pamphlets his picture is the first because he is the foundation of the churches. Logo- in Celestial- there is the cross, the bible and the crown, in Celica- there is the cross, the bible and the eye. The cross stands for belief in Jesus Christ as our saviour, the bible for belief in the efficacy of the words of God which will never change for generations to come, the crown signifies that Jesus is the supreme king over the earth for Celestial and in Celica the eye signifies that the eye of the Lord is everywhere and watching you in all you do.Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus Christ is in every Church of God which he truly founded, he just shows himself to people from various angles as you can see in the different ways in which he called prophets and apostles in the bible,Moses,Samuel,Elijah,Isaiah, Jeremiah, Peter, Matthew, Paul etc
Whichever side he shows you of himself he just wants people to serve him instead of the kingdom of Satan therefore he has made christendom flexible, you serve him where you are at ease, Gospel, Orthodox, Pentecostal or Spiritual church. However it is we as a people who are creating divisions in christendom, “1st Corinthians 1 vs 11-13” saying we are for Peter, for Paul or for Apollo, is Christ divided, did they not proclaim the message and salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ”. Were we not all baptised in the blood of Jesus Christ, Christians it is time we unite and fight the kingdom of Satan so that we can be heirs in the kingdom of heaven.
THE BIBLE
People talk about white garment churches practicing the old testament. I ask does it not contain the word of God. Can it be separated from the bible? It is wrong because the bible will not be complete without the whole 66 books.What people do not know is that the new testament is hidden in the old testament while the old testament is revealed in the new testament.The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ was predicted from the time of Moses,Isaiah,Amos,Ezekiel, to mention a few.
Check Isaiah chapters 7,9,11,42,49,55 for confirmation. Our Lord Jesus Christ quoted all he said from the old testament. Check Deuteronomy 8 vs 3 and Matthew 4 vs 4 ,7,10 .
Our Lord Jesus Christ only simplified all the difficulties and ambiguous statements from the old testament for us. The ten commandments given by God Almighty to his servant Moses were simplified into two “Love the Lord your God with all your strength, all your soul and all your might, also love your neighbour like yourself” any one that does this whole heartedly will fulfill the remaining laws of God. Check if all this quotes are not in Deuteronomy chapters 6 vs 1-12, 10 vs 12-22, 11 vs 1-15. Our Lord Jesus Christ said in Matt 5 vs 17”do not think i have come to abolish the laws or the prophets; i have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them and look at what our Lord Jesus Christ did in Luke 5 vs 12-14’’ a man with leprosy fell at his feet and said Lord, if u are willing u can make me clean” Jesus healed him and ordered him ‘go and show yourself to the priest and offer sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them”.
THE ALTAR:
Altars in white garment churches are replicas of what is in heaven, quoting from Hebrews 8 vs 5-6”they serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. That is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle ; see to it that u make everything according to the pattern shown u on the mountain”. The altar in heaven that is the vision shown to the founders and that is what they replicated in their churches. Also let me correct this misconception we (particularly Celica Church of Christ) do not use animal blood for sanctification. Our Lord Jesus Christ has sanctified his altar and his church with his blood however we do sanctify with water and perfume. It is the spirit of God which lives in the altar so we have to be sanctified in body and mind. Our God, in the white garment churches, is the Lord Jesus Christ who commissioned the churches for the spiritual assignment. That is why the picture of our Lord Jesus Christ in our altars. We simply use water, incense and perfume for sanctification as spiritually laid down for us by our Lord Jesus Christ.
BOWING DOWN BEFORE THE ALTAR:
People have always questioned the reason for bowing down in white garment churches. We bow down in worship for our Lord Jesus Christ and not any idol or image as perceived by people. It is spiritual directive laid down for us by our Lord Jesus Christ through the founders. To buttress this point Revelations 4 vs 1-11 “There in heaven was a throne with someone sitting on it, in a circle around the throne were 24 other thrones, on which were seated 24 elders dressed in white and wearing crowns of gold on their heads. The 4 living creatures sing songs of glory and honour and thanks to the one seated on the throne who lives forever and ever. When they do so the 24 elders fall down before the one seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They throw their crowns down in front of the throne and say our lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory, honour and power. For you created all things and by your will they were given existence and life”

LIGHTING CANDLES IN THE ALTAR
Rev 4 vs 5 “in front of the throne 7 lighted torches were burning, which are the 7 spirits of God”

SPEAKING OF TONGUES: Also on speaking of tongues in white garment churches, the spirit enables us to speak the languages of different countries (Aramaic,Hebrew,Latin,Arabic) when in spirit without learning it formally. The citizens of these countries will understand what we say. God has also given us the grace to be able to interpret the spiritual languages into English or our native languages. To butress this, Acts 2 vs 4-6”all of them were filled with the holy spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit enabled them, staying in Jerusalem were god fearing Jews from every nation under heaven; when they heard this sound they were surprised because each one heard the apostles speaking in his own language”
CELICA: MEANING
I know some people will be surprised by such a name as it is associated with a car. Yes, Celica Church of Christ is a spiritual vehicle of salvation. it is one of the stars in the galaxy “the brightest” and the Lord Jesus Christ revealed and interpreted the name of the church to the founder as the Most Glorious Church of Christ from heaven: Ijo Mimo Ologo Julo ti Kristi lati orun wa”

BEING CAFEFUL IN OUR UTTERANCES

We should be careful when talking about Anointed Prophets of God, they are God’s mouthpiece.Quoting Numbers 12 vs 1-9 as a example“Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses becos of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.This is one of the cursed nations and whom God told told the Isrealites not to intermarry with.
At once the Lord said to the 3 of them, come out to the tent of meeting, listen to my words: when a prophet of the Lord is among u, I reveal myself to him in visions, I reveal myself in dreams: but this is not true of my servant Moses, he is faithful in all my house, with him I speak in clearly and not in riddles: he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were u not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? The anger of the Lord burned against them and he left them: when the cloud lifted above the tent, there stood Miriam leprous like snow”.You cannot fathom how God works, Isa 55 vs 8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts nor your ways my ways says the Lord, for as the heavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than my ways and my thoughts higher than my thoughts”

Christianity EtcRe: PHOTOS- Founder Of Celica Church Of Christ by Kunlecelica(op): 11:39am On Feb 28, 2013
enilove: Celestial doctrine is copletely diffrent from that of CAC.
Propphet Ayo Babalola did not allow his members to marry more than one wife,and he himself did not marry mote than one wife.Oshofa on the other hand ,had about 30 wives b4 his death and laid a foundation where the members can marry more than one wife .CAC members dont use candle for prayers and not a white garment church.
A menstruating woman can enter CAC church ,RCCG,MFM,CHRIST EMBASSY,TREM etc and worship not so in Celestial white garment church.
God did not tell Prophet Ayo Baba to be going bare footed while Oshofa and members, when in their garment go bare footed.
The death of Oshofa does shows that God was not with him. He had a fatal car accident and gave the ghost about 9 days later .He left without having knowledge of his death. No devine message of who should lead after his death was given, and 1yr later they have started going to court on who should be the next leader.Where the true spirit of God is ,he would have informed them who the leader should be.
Prophet Ayo Babalola told his members 3years b4 his death even d day he was to die ,that he was departing from them. And gave the leadership of the church to someone and the church is still growing even after 55 years of his death.The same thing with the founder of Redeem Christian Church of God,he knew 5 years b4 his death and gave the leadership to Pastor Adeboye before meeting the Lord Jesus in heaven.God is a master planer,He does not start what He can not finish.Joshua took over from Moses,Elisha from Elijah etc.
I doubt this vision.Celestial and celica are the same.
But one thing is certain ,every tree that God has not planted shall be uprooted.
We should be careful when talking about Anointed Prophets of God, they are God’s mouthpiece. Quoting Numbers 12 vs 1-9 “Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses becos of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. This is one of the cursed nations and whom God told told the Isrealites not to intermarry with.

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.
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.

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna!

To get Celica settled on its feet God asked prophet Adeonigbagbe to seal the altar for 3 months and that all members, he inclusive, must revert back to the ordinary sutannah. At the end of this period in one of the visions, 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. The name of the church was also translated as holiest of the holiest among the Celestial bodies.

On October 28th, 1992 prophet Adeonigbagbe received three visitors spiritually and they (the four of them) went round the church auditorium seven times. These three visitors were Prophet 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 assignment on earth that it was now his turn and they passed the spiritual baton to him. At the mercy land there was a paralyzed man who had been bedridden for 3 years it was on this day that the Lord healed him as a sign of the divine establishment of the church. The moon also came out with a star in its middle. The star came in and out 7 times before it disappeared.

Before the demise of the founder of the Celestial church, Pastor SBJ 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, it 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 golden cup but he declined repeatedly.
In another vision Papa Oshoffa appeared to Prophet Adeonigbagbe he showed him (Adeonigbagbe) 21 louvers of glass of which 18 had been broken.He told him to try and join the pieces together because he had the patience to do so. He also gave him a purple cloth, a big bell and a big bible alongside the louvers.
In another vision 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 this 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”. His love for the Celestial Church then was great but all God’s words spoke to the church through him and other prophets were not strictly adhered to. 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). A ladder came down with angels descending on it and chanting Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord repeatedly then the shepherd himself, our Lord Jesus Christ came to tell him that henceforth his chant will not be halleluiah again but hosanna. In Celestial church of Christ, Yemetu, Ibadan, the Director of Prophets/Prophetesses Prophet S. Ayo Bode now Most Senior Bishop (Prof) S. Ayo Bode (in the Celican fold) had been directed spiritually by the Lord that he was going to be shown the new pastor he had chosen. As Senior 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. Also the late prophet Agbaossi ,Celestial Church of Christ,Supreme Headquarters,Cotonou,Benin Republic had sent prophet Jeremiah Adeolu Alabi ( now Most Sup Evang and ,Shepherd,CCC,Majemu Oluwa se parish,Goodness Estate,Arulogun oad,Ojoo,Ibadan) to confirm the divine call of prophet Adeonigbagbe.This was established in a vision seen during a period of 21 days fasting and prayers by prophets in the supreme headquarters.

Celica Church of Christ was established through the injunction of the holy spirit on November 15th, 1992 at Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria and was announced to the world via a press conference on that day.The church can be distinguished by its chant of hosanna and the mode of dressing, a white garment with a blue cross on left hand side of the garment .The logo of the church is an eye ,a cross and bible. The church believes in the prayers and guidance by the Holy Spirit in all its programmes.At the inception of the church some elements in the Celestial church fold raised so much opposition they said at several periods that the church will not last for 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 7 years before folding off.


Prophet Adeonigbagbe answered with the words of Gamaliel in Acts 5 vs. 34-39”For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail; But if it is from God you will not be able to stop them; you will only find yourself fighting against God; however we boldly say we must obey God rather than men” since the establishment of the church is by divine order.

Prophet Adeonigbagbe is also strengthened by the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who called him, in the book of John 16 vs. 33”In this world you will have trouble; but take heart! I have overcome the world! and also from the book of psalms 62 vs. 1-2”My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him; he alone is my rock and salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken”.Celica Church of Christ is waxing stronger in the mandate given to it by the Lord,liberate people from darkness,showing our Lord Jesus Christ as the way to salvation,truth and life and never to mix with darkness'Occult" as butressed in the call Isaiah chapters 44,60 and 61.

The foundation of the church was laid on Jesus Christ and his grace has been sufficient in the midst all tribulations.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna!

PoliticsMisplaced Priorities Of Nigerian Government by Kunlecelica(op):
The Federal as well State governments recently rewarded the victorious super eagles. The Eagles have amassed about 900 million naira so far with the breakdown as follows Federal Government -150 million naira, Lagos state government -59 millon naira, Delta state government- 81 million naira, Aliko Dangote -130 million naira,Mike Adenuga – 160 million naira,Emeka Offor and 3 other business moguls- 320 million naira.The players deserve all the honours and cash rewards they are getting barring in mind that the Nigerian nation and Nigerian Football Federation will abandon them once they are injured or feel they are not useful in any capacity to the nation again. Past experiences of past and still active super eagles players attest to this.At least the players did not embezzle the millions they truly worked for it unlike our administrators across various sectors.
The Nigerian government is callous and a hypocritical one because they always claim there is no more to spend to better the lives of its citizens where did the millions of naira suddenly surface from !We need answers from our government. Nigerians across all facets have been denied their basic rights in terms of living standards and infrastructure.The national minimium wage is yet to be solved,pensions of senior citizens who have served the nation meritoriously are being denied them,unemployment rate is getting higher daily and government has not provide the necessary infrastructure to enhance living conditions of the citizens.In terms of employment generation there are opportunities in the agricultural sector which has been neglected since the discovery of crude oil.The vast revenue which can be realised have not been tapped. Farm settlement scheme of chief Obafemi Awolowo can be replicated to enhance food sufficiency,only Governor Mimiko of Ondo state is doing that. Vast land is just laying fallow and being wasted across the nation. In the agricultural sector there are opportunities in production,processing,storage,packaging,marketing,bye-products etc.
Nigeria also have vast tourism potentials which is untapped and which can generate employment and revenue. Kenya and South Africa generate over a billion dollars yearly from their tourist sites. Nigerian government can also invest in sports, create employment for youths and also generate money from it.There are many talented youths in the country who only needs encouragement, motivation and training to bring honours for the country. Segun Odegbami with his sports secondary school, Clemens Westerhoff with his football academy and Pepsi football academy have recognized the potential in this. Government can go into public-private partnership which is in vogue across the world and develop this sectors.The government should provide enabling environment for this in terms of finance,land,equipment and facilities. It is time our government at all levels to place their priorities right.

gidig: Practically all members of my family at one time or the other were connected to 'cele'.In fact, one of my late in laws was very close to the founder and his deputy in Ketu. I never really attended like my siblings but the few times I did, even though i did not know Christ as i do now, I recognised that it was a mixture of Christianity with traditional african worship or bettrer put ,applying the christian faith in a traditional manner. It was always one 'Ise' (religious ritual) based o one vision of evil by one of their prophets or another. I was the first to rebel.My mom played along until they told her not to travel for my convocation ceremony for , according to their vision, she may not come back.She traveled and came back-of course she never came back to their church.She attends a methodist church now and she has learnt to pray for herself.

Now, only person in my family does and she is leaving the place. Her experience will bring tears to your eyes!
Also someone talked about “Ise”, spiritual works, within Celestial and white garment churches. The spiritual churches are different from orthodox, Pentecostal and gospel churches. They use what they are spiritually told to use as directed by the Holy Spirit. The materials range from white candles, perfume, fruits (orange, banana, pineapple, coconut etc), anointing oil, handkerchiefs, incense, soap, bell, water for different purposes (santification,baths,drinking). We only need to back up our activities with this biblical reference John 14 vs 26 “the holy spirit will come and help you because the father will send the spirit to take my place. The spirit will teach you everything and will remind you of what I said while I was with you” and also from John 16 vs 13”but when he,the spirit of truth ,comes he will speak only what he hears and he will tell u what is yet to come. It is the holy spirit that directs us on what we do at all times .That is what we stand on.I know there are still many shepherds and Celestial parishes who are still following strictly the doctrines as laid down from the inception.The establishment of the church is not a man-made idea but by the divine order of our Lord Jesus Christ.the founder of the denomination was truly commissioned by our Lord Jesus Christ to liberate the earth from darkness, he is an Anointed Prophets. Many people have negative opinions and misconceptions about white garment churches. .It is not their fault but as a result of some negative actions by some people within the fold. You must understand that even among the Lord’s disciples there was a Judas. There are some Judases among the fold and it cuts across Christendom from orthodox, pentescostal, gospel to spiritual churches.

doshbass: What Do People Have Against Celestial Church

I used to go Cele from when i was born till when 1 was 24, then I left to go to a Pentecostal church. I know people have different issues and experiences. I know why I left Cele, I would never say it is not a Church and they don't worship Christ, they do, but maybe in this day and age they way they worship is not acceptable (does not go with what is currently happening).

There are also different denominations of church that are into bad practices (African JUJU and all sorts of nonsense), that give their other churches bad names, unfortunately that is common with Cele. One other thing about Cele is the Leadership, they are just like the Nigerian Government

What is your experience of Cele and what do you think of the Church?
This topic was created in year 2006 and i read with great interest on the above named topic on Monday January 21, 2013. I read the views of Celestials, ex-Celestials and non-Celestials. While analyzing their various comments and opinions I saw mostly misconceptions about the church. For a start I was a member of the Celestial Church of Christ until 1992 when the Lord directed us to pull out and build another spiritual ark known as” Celica Church of Christ “therefore I will analyze specifically on Celestial Church of Christ, Celica Church of Christ, other white garment churches generally as well as Christ Apostolic Church. To begin with the Lord Jesus Christ descended the spiritual ark called Celestial Church of Christ in 1947 through prophet SBJ Oshoffa, it’s predecessors were Cherubim and Seraphim Church through prophet Moses Orimolade and Christ Apostolic church through Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola. The Lord Jesus Christ revealed to the founder of Celica Church of Christ, the Anointed Prophet Adetunji Adeonigbagbe that he raised these prophets for liberation of people from darkness.
The establishment of the four churches is not a man-made idea but by the divine order of our Lord Jesus Christ.the founder of the 4 denominations were truly commissioned by our Lord Jesus Christ to liberate the earth from darkness, they are Anointed Prophets.The Cherubim and Seraphim Church, the Christ Apostolic Church, and the Celestial Church of Christ descended by divine order to fulfill a mandate on earth. It was failure to fully fulfill that mandate that led to each of them arriving one after the other and that has given rise to the coming of Celica Church of Christ. The founder of Celestial Church of Christ Rev. S.BJ 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 as revealed to him by God. Afterwards the Celestial Church was thrown into crisis where different factions emerged.The founders were able to curb many excess in their churches when they were alive but after their demise some did not follow the divinely laid down doctrine. This has led to crisis and divisions, in Cherubim and Seraphim you have factions such as Eternal Sacred order, Sacred order,Holy order,Zion,Divine order,Praying band),CAC (Oluseye/Abiara, Udofia, Obadare factions), Celestial (Bada, Owodunni, Mobiyina,Maforikan, Shonekan, Agbaossi factions) however one good thing all the factions still acknowledge the founders as the anointed prophets in the various churches. This has led to some unfulfilled spiritual mandate of these three preceeding churches and thus the establishment of Celica Church of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ told the four founders to establish the church based strictly on his spiritual directives so they must obey God rather than men Acts 5 vs 34-39”for if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is from God you will not be able to stop them; you will only find yourself fighting against God; however we boldly say we must obey God rather than men” since the establishment of the churches are divine..The doctrines he gave each of them was what each followed no matter whose ox was gored and the resultant effect was the large followership which their church organization enjoyed when the great spiritual powers bestowed on them all were recognized by people.It is what God has laid down for these churches and nobody should find fault with it. Who are we to question this?

I feel what must be asked is if those leaders and prophets still within the Celestial fold are strictly following the tenets and doctrines laid down by the founder.
I know there are still many shepherds and Celestial parishes who are still following strictly the doctrines as laid down from the inception.Many people have negative opinions and misconceptions about white garment churches. .It is not their fault but as a result of some negative actions by some people within the fold. You must understand that even among the Lord’s disciples there was a Judas. There are some Judases among the fold and it cuts across Christendom from orthodox, pentescostal, gospel to spiritual churches. Spiritual churches are more pronounced because we have a uniform, our garments of glory. let us not stain our garments of glory “with palm oil”.It is up to the youths in the spiritual churches, we must begin a massive re-orientation, reformation and revitalization in our various denominations. Let us imbibe the values of the founding fathers, zeal for the Lord, selfless service, love for humanity ,fairness,tolerance,dedication,obedience to God’s directives, discipline,truthfulness and sincerity, honour and most importantly showing the way of salvation which is our Lord Jesus Christ.

The kingdom of satan causes divisions, fights, disagreement and misunderstanding. That is its work,it is normal therefore that Satan is waging war against Christendom. Christendom should be united against the kingdom of Satan instead we are having differences. Let us not discriminate, our Lord Jesus Christ is the same so no matter which side he shows u. What he only wants is for us to serve him and he wants to draw people to himself that is why he descended different types of churches .If u don’t worship in one, u will worship in another, just serve the Lord Jesus Christ faithfully.
John 10 vs. 1-6 “ There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheepfold, I must bring them too: they will listen to my voice and they will become one flock with one shepherd” ( all churches who serve our Lord Jesus Christ truthfully and faithfully). God himself will expose those who are corrupting the good works of great men of God who are truly called,who have not mixed with the occult or polluted their calls.The time is at hand and there will be great surprise across Christendom when secrets are exposed.
Remain blessed in Jesus name,Hosanna,Hosanna,Hosanna.

tobicoker: I was born and raised in a Cele-attending family and i attended until i was fourteen when i started to think and question some of the Church's practices , in line with scriptures of course. What eventually made my mind up for me was an experience i had just before my 15th birthday. I had gone for a meeting of prophets(Ipade Awon Wooli), a forum where both young, intending and old prophets meet to pray, 'go into the spirit' and prophesy. This fateful day, the Sheperd{olusho} had wrapped some stuffs in a white cloth and asked that someone should tell him what was wrapped in the cloth.

I knew that couldn't be right cos it was like he was testing God's spirit, but that wasn't what shocked me, it was when the established prophets in the house, who used to prophesy to everyone in church, started mentioning different things, Wow, i thot the spirit of God was one, shouldnt they be saying the same thing, i wondered? At the end, none of them got it right and i knew immediately that something wasn't right, that was when i left Cele, and thank God, almost ever member of my family has left Cele for good.

1 .People in garment of glory 1saiah 52.1, Rev 3:5, Rev 7:9
2. Holy, Holy, Holy to the Lord of host Rev 4:8, Isa 6:3
3. The Altar and bowing down before the altar Rev1:4, Rev 4:9-10, Matt 5:24

15. Positions of angels in the divine call Hebrews 1:5-81.
These are some biblical references to back up the activities in most white garment churches as directed by God. However in Celica church of Christ we do say we do not need to justify our actions to people because we are led by Holy Spirit. We only need to back up our activities with this biblical reference John 14 vs 26 “the holy spirit will come and help you because the father will send the spirit to take my place. The spirit will teach you everything and will remind you of what I said while I was with you” and also from John 16 vs 13”but when he,the spirit of truth ,comes he will speak only what he hears and he will tell u what is yet to come. It is the holy spirit that directs us on what we do at all times .That is what we stand on.
Christianity EtcRe: Adeboye - Same-Sex Marriage Against God’s Will by Kunlecelica(m): 1:18pm On Feb 18, 2013
lekanolas: The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye yesterday described same sex marriage legalised in some countries as anathema to God’s will and instruction.

Adeboye, who spoke at the New Year thanksgiving organised by the Joint Christian Mission of the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife, described same sex marriage as anti- God and ungodly.

The cleric condemned the act, which, he said, could draw backward the biblical doctrinal principle of God in humanity.

He said: “People should walk in the light of God and forsake acts that are traceable to darkness. Darkness is bad, it is evil. It produces poverty, hatred, sorrow, barenness and loneliness, but light produces love, peace, joy, promotion and faithfulness.

“Darkness is capable of wrecking havoc in the country, and Nigerian leaders should try to shun acts of darkness in 2013 for the nation to enjoy peace.”

The GO added that the will of God for human being is to be fruitful, replenish and multiply on earth and argued that same sex marriage was capable of wiping out human race within just 20 years.

Adeboye said anything contrary to man and woman marriage was devilish. He said: “Same sex marriage is anathema to God’s will and instruction.

The will of God for human being is to be fruitful, replenish and multiply on earth and anything contrary to that is devilish.”

“How can a man who marries a fellow man produce a child and how can a woman who marries a woman produce a child? “If this evil is allowed to stay, there will not be new born babies again in the world.

As the older generation dies, would there be new generation to succeed? Even plants and animals have new generation to succeed them.”

Christianity EtcRe: Biblical Interpretations On Homosexuality. by Kunlecelica(m): 1:17pm On Feb 18, 2013
Kay 17: Homosexuality is one of the most divisive issues within churches and across our country today. The issue has become, for some, a litmus test on fidelity to God and the scriptures. The divide is not just between the progressives and conservatives. It is also a generational divide, with younger Christians generally seeing this issue differently than older Christians.
I recently delivered the sermon for the National Prayer Service at the presidential inauguration. While in Washington I took my family to the Lincoln Memorial. This iconic structure stands as a reminder of America’s great dream of equality and President Lincoln’s role in the emancipation of America’s slaves and the abolition of slavery in America. The words to Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address are inscribed on the north wall of the memorial’s interior. In them Lincoln noted that at the center of the conflict over slavery were very different interpretations of the Bible. Lincoln said of the two sides in the war, “Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.”

Southern preachers and slave owners believed the many references in the Bible permitting and regulating slavery (well over 100 verses), in both the Old and the New Testaments, were clear evidence that the institution was a part of God’s social and moral order. Abolitionist preachers argued in their sermons that the verses related to slavery in the Bible were a reflection of the cultural context and times in which the Bible was written and did not reflect God’s endorsement of slavery. They argued that there were “weightier” scriptures on justice, mercy and love that superseded those on slavery. This was the position that Lincoln himself adopted.

At the center of the divide over homosexuality today is the Bible. Conservatives and progressives “read from the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.”

There are a handful of Scriptures (five or eight depending upon how one counts) that specifically speak of same-sex intimacy as unacceptable to God. Conservatives or traditionalists see these as reflecting God’s timeless will for human relationships. Progressives look at these same scriptures in much the same way that progressives in the nineteenth century looked at the Bible’s teaching on slavery. They believe that these verses capture the cultural understandings and practices of sexuality in biblical times, but do not reflect God’s will for gay and lesbian people.

In my own life, it was both reading the Bible’s passages on same-sex intimacy in the same light as passages on slavery (and violence and the place of women) and coming to know gay and lesbian people that led me to see this issue differently, particularly children who grew up in my church who loved God and sought to serve Christ. As I listened to their stories I saw that they did not fit the stereotypes I had been taught about gay and lesbian people. The love they shared with others looked very much like the love I share with my wife --a deep friendship and companionship. And their faith was as authentic as that of anyone else in my congregation.

For many Christians today, particularly young adults, the handful of Bible verses related to same sex intimacy seem more like the 100 plus verses on slavery than they do the teachings of Jesus and his great commandments to love God and neighbor. Their gay and lesbian friends are people, just like them, in need of love and community. I believe that in the years ahead an increasing number of Christians, not only progressives, but also conservatives, will read the Bible’s passages regarding homosexuality as all Christians today read the Bible’s passages on slavery. And the sermons preached from America’s pulpits decrying the rights of homosexuals today will sound to future generations much like the pro-slavery sermons sound to us today.

I stand on the words of God given in Leviticus chapter 18.God condemned same sex marriage.Morally to me,its even repulsive.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus Christ is in every Church of God which he truly founded, he just shows himself to people from various angles as you can see in the different ways in which he called prophets and apostles in the bible,Moses,Samuel,Elijah,Isaiah, Jeremiah, Peter, Matthew, Paul etc
Whichever side he shows you of himself he just wants people to serve him instead of the kingdom of Satan therefore he has made christendom flexible, you serve him where you are at ease, Gospel, Orthodox, Pentecostal or Spiritual church. However it is we as a people who are creating divisions in christendom, “1st Corinthians 1 vs 11-13” saying we are for Peter, for Paul or for Apollo, is Christ divided, did they not proclaim the message and salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ”. Were we not all baptised in the blood of Jesus Christ, Christians it is time we unite and fight the kingdom of Satan so that we can be heirs in the kingdom of heaven.The word is near us our Lord Jesus Christ has brought the kingdom of God close to us.
The kingdom of satan causes divisions, fights, disagreement and misunderstanding. That is its work,it is normal therefore that Satan is waging war against Christendom.

Firstly I want all celestials to know that not every doctrine of CCC is biblically right. I agree prophets gave these messages but not many of the messages where properly crosschecked and discerned. the Bible has asked us to test all spirits. it will interest u to note as well that u must know God deeply for yourself before u can bring jugdement upon any one. there are bad eggs everywhere, in all churches there are false prophets, members, pastors e.t.c
For the celestials on this forum, we have nothing to defend. the only thing you should do is get to know God for urself, pray for a restoration of the truth in celestial, ask God to take away the reproach in Celestial and ask Him to give the church a new song to sing. take note, that if u want to see a change anywhere and you are not ready to be the instrument that god will use to cause that change, you will never see the change. go on your kneels, ask God to give you His Holy Ghost, let Him teach you so that other celestials may see God thru u.
For all who claim to be ex-celestials or members of other 'good churches' I hope u also changed in ur life and attitude towards God because it's not a change in church that will take u to heaven, it is a change of heart. Being really connected and fused in Christ. take time to pray for the light of God to shine on celestial, pray in love, u cant preach anyone out of a church, u do not have the ability to convict any1 of sin, only the Holy Ghost can do that. Preach Christ to them, they can find Him still being members of the church so that thru them there will be a complete revival and restoration. if everyone goes out, who will be soul winners for those that have gone and will go astray? We are called to minister to men like us. Christ came to give sight to the blind, not to kill them. shine this litlle light of yours in love.
Finally, I beesech everyone of us to desist from the habit of preaching church, into the habit of preaching Christ. That is the center of Christianity. Long give Celestial Church of Christ.
May God bless everyone on these forum, may we all meet Jesus in heaven when the saints are marching in. stop these quarells ansd showing of spiritual competence and begin to speak abou Christ into each other's life. Shalom!
Akerele Adedoyin.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus Christ is in every Church of God which he truly founded, he just shows himself to people from various angles as you can see in the different ways in which he called prophets and apostles in the bible,Moses,Samuel,Elijah,Isaiah, Jeremiah, Peter, Matthew, Paul etc
Whichever side he shows you of himself he just wants people to serve him instead of the kingdom of Satan therefore he has made christendom flexible, you serve him where you are at ease, Gospel, Orthodox, Pentecostal or Spiritual church. However it is we as a people who are creating divisions in christendom, “1st Corinthians 1 vs 11-13” saying we are for Peter, for Paul or for Apollo, is Christ divided, did they not proclaim the message and salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ”. Were we not all baptised in the blood of Jesus Christ, Christians it is time we unite and fight the kingdom of Satan so that we can be heirs in the kingdom of heaven

enilove: Anybody who has heaven as his or her goal will think twice about celestial church.why:
The spiritual leader died through a car accident.Something is wrong somewhere.
He had more than 20 wives with over hundred children.Jesus Christ told us "one wife one man".
what is the difference btw the Candle you buy and speak to and the cowries used by the baba alawoes for consultation?
Why must the cele churches face the east like mosques?
How is the use of candle, perfumes ,corn,salt and going to the beach , river or the stream to have bath different from that of the Baba- Alawo.
when God called Moses in gen3:5 and told him not to draw near and to remove his shoes,He did not tell him to be going bare footed any time he was to worship Him.The Isrealites do not go bare footed on the streets on the sabath days.When cele members are not in their garment they will pass through the streets with shoes on ,but when they put the garment on,they go bare footed passing through that same street because the street has now become holy ground for only them ,even at T junctions where sacrifices are placed.This is a satanic doctrine
Why was there court cases against who to succeed Oshofa the founder?.

We should be careful when talking about Anointed Prophets of God, they are God’s mouthpiece. Quoting Numbers 12 vs 1-9 “Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses becos of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. This is one of the cursed nations and whom God told told the Isrealites not to intermarry with.
At once the Lord said to the 3 of them, come out to the tent of meeting, listen to my words: when a prophet of the Lord is among u, I reveal myself to him in visions, I reveal myself in dreams: but this is not true of my servant Moses, he is faithful in all my house, with him I speak in clearly and not in riddles: he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were u not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
The anger of the Lord burned against them and he left them: when the cloud lifted above the tent, there stood Miriam leprous like snow” The Lord told prophet Hosea “Go take yourself a wife of harlotry, so he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim.” Hosea 1 vs 1-3.
Also someone talked about “Ise”, spiritual works, within Celestial and white garment churches. The spiritual churches are different from orthodox, Pentecostal and gospel churches. They use what they are spiritually told to use as directed by the Holy Spirit. The materials range from white candles, perfume, fruits (orange, banana, pineapple, coconut etc), anointing oil, handkerchiefs, incense, soap, bell, water for different purposes (santification,baths,drinking). You cannot fathom how God works, Isa 55 vs 8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts nor your ways my ways says the Lord, for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than my ways and my thoughts higher than my thoughts”We only need to back up our activities with this biblical reference John 14 vs 26 “the holy spirit will come and help you because the father will send the spirit to take my place. The spirit will teach you everything and will remind you of what I said while I was with you” and also from John 16 vs 13”but when he,the spirit of truth ,comes he will speak only what he hears and he will tell u what is yet to come.

yommyuk: grin No arabic bro


Some of the languages/words used in CCC were given by revelation via the Holy Spirit.

e.g

Eli Bamah- God of High Places [Ezek. 20:29; Is. 2:2]

Eyiba-Lord of mercy

Eliyah- Lord of Heaven

Agashadual- King of victory

Jehovah Jecho Hirami- King of blessing

El Beraca Bered Eli- King of blessing, we hail Thee

SPEAKING OF TONGUES: Also on speaking of tongues in white garment churches, the spirit enables us to speak the languages of different countries (Aramaic,Hebrew,Latin,Arabic) when in spirit without learning it formally. The citizens of these countries will understand what we say. God has also given us the grace to be able to interpret the spiritual languages into English or our native languages. To butress this, Acts 2 vs 4-6”all of them were filled with the holy spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit enabled them, staying in Jerusalem were god fearing Jews from every nation under heaven; when they heard this sound they were surprised because each one heard the apostles speaking in his own language”
Christianity EtcMisconceptions About White Garment Churches by Kunlecelica(op): 12:48pm On Feb 18, 2013
RE: CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST: YOUR EXPERIENCE AND OPINION

This topic was created in year 2006 and i read with great interest on the above named topic on Monday January 21, 2013. I read the views of Celestials, ex-Celestials and non-Celestials. This topic inspired this write-up.While analyzing their various comments and opinions I saw mostly misconceptions about the church. For a start we were members of the Celestial Church of Christ until 1992 when the Lord directed us to pull out and build another spiritual ark known as” Celica Church of Christ “therefore I will analyze specifically on Celestial Church of Christ, Celica Church of Christ, other white garment churches generally as well as a bit on Christ Apostolic Church. To begin with the Lord Jesus Christ descended the spiritual ark called Celestial Church of Christ in 1947 through prophet SBJ Oshoffa, it’s predecessors were Cherubim and Seraphim Church through prophet Moses Orimolade and Christ Apostolic church through Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola. The Lord Jesus Christ revealed to the founder of Celica Church of Christ, the Anointed Prophet Adetunji Adeonigbagbe that he raised these prophets for liberation of people from darkness.
The establishment of the four churches is not a man-made idea but by the divine order of our Lord Jesus Christ.the founders of the 4 denominations were truly commissioned by our Lord Jesus Christ to liberate the earth from darkness, they are Anointed Prophets. The preceeding 3 patriarchs are resting in the bosom of their Lord and are still working in their various churches to this day. That is why there are still signs and wonders when their members call on the God of Orimolade,Babalola and Oshoffa to this day.
To butress this read Mark 9 vs 1-12,Matt 17 vs 1=13”after 6 days Jesus took Peter,James and John to a high mountain where they were alone. there he was transfigured before them, his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them and there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus .as they were coming down he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until he was raised from the dead.” Therefore the 3 founders are not dead spiritually but still living and working spiritually in their various denominations. That is why they are able to appear to prophet Adeonigbagbe and gave him the baton to continue the mandate which our Lord Jesus Christ sent them to do in the world.Prophet Adeonigbagbe’mandate can be found in in Isaiah 60 and 61 quoting chapter 61 vs 1’the spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me becos the Lord has anointed ,me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners”
TENETS AND DOCTRINES
The Lord Jesus Christ told the four founders to establish the church based strictly on his spiritual directives so they must obey God rather than men Acts 5 vs 34-39”for if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is from God you will not be able to stop them; you will only find yourself fighting against God; however we boldly say we must obey God rather than men” since the establishment of the churches are divine..The doctrines he gave each of them was what each followed no matter whose ox was gored and the resultant effect was the large followership which their church organization enjoyed when the great spiritual powers bestowed on them all were recognized by people. The Cherubim and Seraphim Church wore shoes on their garment outside the church premises but not within the church premises, the Christ Apostolic church wore different clothes to church and wore shoes in the church while Ayo Babalola most times wore his flowing garment as directed by God, the Celestial Church under Oshoffa wore no shoes on their garments according to God’s spiritual directives likewise Celica Church of Christ the only difference being the blue cross on the left hand side of the Celican garment.
Another major difference is in the chant of praise, Cherubim- Halleluyah, Iye, CAC- Halleluyah, CCC- Halleluyah, Hosanna, Ebenezer to the four corners of the earth and in Celica-Hosanna, Iyin, Ogo to the four corners of the earth. These are God’s directives to the founders which must be obeyed at all times irrespective of people’s opinion. In all altars in Celestial and Celica there is the picture of Jesus Christ, in all our pamphlets his picture is the first because he is the foundation of the churches.
Logo- in Celestial- there is the cross, the bible and the crown, in Celica- there is the cross, the bible and the eye. The cross stands for belief in Jesus Christ as our saviour, the bible for belief in the efficacy of the words of God which will never change for generations to come, the crown signifies that Jesus is the supreme king over the earth for Celestial and in Celica the eye signifies that the eye of the Lord is everywhere and watching you in all you do.
I laughed when someone said he was in a Celestial parish in Ibadan and they never mentioned Jesus Christ once.Anyone in Celestial will start his/her prayers as spiritually laid down for Oshoffa by our Lord Jesus Christ like this “ Jehovah, Jesu Kristi, Michael Mimo “ which translates as Jehovah, Jesus Christ, Holy Michael while in Celica Church of Christ as spiritually laid down “Si Olorun Baba, Si Olorun Omo, Si Olorun emi mimo, translated as To God the father, To God the son, To God the holy spirit. That shows you that these churches believe in the trinity of God. Someone said why the use of angels in Cherubim and Seraphim Church and Celestial churches. Holy Michael is the captain of the heavenly angels and the warrior whom the Lord Jesus Christ sends into battle against evil forces.God has given these churches the angels as messengers of joy, blessings, peace, victory etc for them, psalm 8 vs 4-8 ”what is man that you think of him, that you care for him, yet you made him only inferior to yourself and crowned him with glory and honour”. It is what God has laid down for these churches and nobody should find fault with it. Who are we to question this? I feel what must be asked is if those leaders and prophets still within the Celestial fold are strictly following the tenets and doctrines laid down by the founder.
I know there are still many shepherds and Celestial parishes who are still following strictly the doctrines as laid down from the inception. There is a notable cleric in Nigeria, the general overseer of one of the“Pentecostal” churches in Nigeria. He was criticizing the use of spiritual materials by white garment churches in the 1990s. He however revealed that the Lord told him after he had uttered such a statement that he must tell his congregation to bring some spiritual materials for a special service. That is how the spirit of God works, God can follow different procedures to achieve his goals. As an example in the bible in “Exodus 15 vs 22-25” at the waters of Marah he told Moses to throw a log of wood into the river to heal it, he told Elisha in “2kgs 2 vs 19-22” to make use of salt to heal the water. Our Lord Jesus Christ in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John used different methods.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus Christ is in every Church of God which he truly founded, he just shows himself to people from various angles as you can see in the different ways in which he called prophets and apostles in the bible,Moses,Samuel,Elijah,Isaiah, Jeremiah, Peter, Matthew, Paul etc
Whichever side he shows you of himself he just wants people to serve him instead of the kingdom of Satan therefore he has made christendom flexible, you serve him where you are at ease, Gospel, Orthodox, Pentecostal or Spiritual church. However it is we as a people who are creating divisions in christendom, “1st Corinthians 1 vs 11-13” saying we are for Peter, for Paul or for Apollo, is Christ divided, did they not proclaim the message and salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ”. Were we not all baptised in the blood of Jesus Christ, Christians it is time we unite and fight the kingdom of Satan so that we can be heirs in the kingdom of heaven.The word is near us our Lord Jesus Christ has brought the kingdom of God close to us.
HYMNS
Someone also talked about the hymns of Celestial Church of Christ there is no disputing the fact that white garment churches hymns are divinely sent down. The lyrics and melody of the song gives credence to this fact. Also in the years past,the pioneer orthodox churches (Anglican, Baptist, Catholics) had many songs that were spiritually inspired. It is not like some churches now days who just flow with the tide of the season and compose songs most of which have no spiritual motivation.
In Cherubim and Seraphim church you have inspired hymns such as “Ipile te jesu fi lele leyin ti baba Aladura so,ki eda mase ro pe o ye kuro nibe, mo duro le kristi Apata,Cherubim e yo, Seraphim e yo, a fi ipile lele lori otito, a fi ipile lele lori ododo, Ija dopin ogun ti tan olugbala jagun molu, orin ayo la o ma ko”, in Celestial Church of Christ you have inspired hymns such as hymn 305,185, 186,in Celica Church of Christ you have inspired hymns such as hymn 88, 11,i57,197,
In the orthodox churches they have songs like
I) Gbogbo aiye gbe Jesu ga, Angeli e wole fun,emu ade oba re wa
ii) Ore-ofe sa ni igbekale mi, Jesu kun fun araiye, o ku fun mi pelu
iii) Se a wa loba awa loba awa loba
iv) O funmi ni edidi, gbese la ti mo je


THE BIBLE
People talk about white garment churches practicing the old testament. I ask does it not contain the word of God.Can it be separated from the bible? It is wrong because the bible will not be complete without the whole 66 books.What people do not know is that the new testament is hidden in the old testament while the old testament is revealed in the new testament.The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ was predicted from the time of Moses,Isaiah,to mention a few.
Check Isaiah chapters 7,9,11,42,49,55 for confirmation. Our Lord Jesus Christ quoted all he said from the old testament. Check Deuteronomy 8 vs 3 and Matthew 4 vs 4 ,7,10 .
Our Lord Jesus Christ only simplified all the difficulties and ambiguous statements from the old testament for us. The ten commandments given by God Almighty to his servant Moses were simplified into two “Love the Lord your God with all your strength, all your soul and all your might, also love your neighbour like yourself” any one that does this wholeheartedly will fulfill the remaining laws of God. Check if all this quotes are not in Deuteronomy chapters 6 vs 1-12, 10 vs 12-22, 11 vs 1-15. Our Lord Jesus Christ said in Matt 5 vs 17”do not think i have come to abolish the laws or the prophets; i have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them and look at what our Lord Jesus Christ did in Luke 5 vs 12-14’’ a man with leprosy fell at his feet and said Lord, if u are willing u can make me clean” Jesus healed him and ordered him ‘go and show yourself to the priest and offer sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them”.

THE ALTAR:
Altars in white garment churches are replicas of what is in heaven, quoting from Hebrews 8 vs 5-6”they serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. That is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle ; see to it that u make everything according to the pattern shown u on the mountain”. The altar in heaven that is the vision shown to the founders and that is what they replicated in their churches. Also let me correct this misconception we (particularly in Celica Church of Christ) do not use animal blood for sanctification. Our Lord Jesus Christ has sanctified his altar and his church with his blood however we do sanctify with water and perfume. It is the spirit of God which lives in the altar so we have to be sanctified in body and mind. Our God, in the white garment churches, is the Lord Jesus Christ who commissioned the churches for the spiritual assignment. That is why the picture of our Lord Jesus Christ in our altars. We simply use water, incense and perfume for sanctification as spiritually laid down for us by our Lord Jesus Christ through the founders.
BOWING DOWN BEFORE THE ALTAR:
People have always questioned the reason for bowing down in white garment churches. We bow down in worship for our Lord Jesus Christ and not any idol or image as perceived by people. It is spiritual directive laid down for us by our Lord Jesus Christ through the founders. To buttress this point Revelations 4 vs 1-11 “There in heaven was a throne with someone sitting on it, in a circle around the throne were 24 other thrones, on which were seated 24 elders dressed in white and wearing crowns of gold on their heads. The 4 living creatures sing songs of glory and honour and thanks to the one seated on the throne who lives forever and ever. When they do so the 24 elders fall down before the one seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They throw their crowns down in front of the throne and say our lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory, honour and power. For you created all things and by your will they were given existence and life”

LIGHTING CANDLES IN THE ALTAR
Rev 4 vs 5 “in front of the throne 7 lighted torches were burning, which are the 7 spirits of God”

SPEAKING OF TONGUES:
Also on speaking of tongues in white garment churches, the spirit enables us to speak the languages of different countries (Aramaic,Hebrew,Latin,Arabic) when in spirit without learning it formally. The citizens of these countries will understand what we say. God has also given us the grace to be able to interpret the spiritual languages into English or our native languages. To butress this, Acts 2 vs 4-6”all of them were filled with the holy spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit enabled them, staying in Jerusalem were god fearing Jews from every nation under heaven; when they heard this sound they were surprised because each one heard the apostles speaking in his own language”
SPIRITUAL WORKS:
Also someone talked about “Ise”, spiritual works, within Celestial and white garment churches. The spiritual churches are different from orthodox, Pentecostal and gospel churches. They use what they are spiritually told to use as directed by the Holy Spirit. The materials range from white candles, perfume, fruits (orange, banana, pineapple, coconut etc), anointing oil, handkerchiefs, incense, soap, bell, water for different purposes (santification,baths,drinking).

These are biblical references to back up the activities in most white garment churches as directed by God. However in Celica Church of Christ we do say we do not need to justify our actions to people because we are led by Holy Spirit. We only need to back up our activities with this biblical reference John 14 vs 26 “the holy spirit will come and help you because the father will send the spirit to take my place. The spirit will teach you everything and will remind you of what I said while I was with you” and also from John 16 vs 13”but when he,the spirit of truth ,comes he will speak only what he hears and he will tell u what is yet to come.It is the holy spirit that directs us on what we do at all times .That is what we stand on.
FULFILLMENT OF MANDATE
The Cherubim and Seraphim Church, the Christ Apostolic Church, and the Celestial Church of Christ descended by divine order to fulfill a mandate on earth. It was failure to fully fulfill that mandate that led to each of them arriving one after the other and that has given rise to the coming of Celica Church of Christ. The founder of Celestial Church of Christ Rev. S.BJ 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 as revealed to him by God.Why he never did remains between him and his God? Let me correct an impression here he did not die from injuries sustained from his accident,he had recovered and had been receiving visitors.Anointed prophets of God have a grace from God,he lets them know when he will call them home.From the bible check from Abraham,Isaac,Jacob,Moses,Joshua,Elijah,Elisha even his beloved like King David and Hezekiah.Afterwards the Celestial Church was thrown into crisis where different factions emerged
As a result of this observation, our Lord Jesus Christ said though Celica Church of Christ will spread to every corner of the earth like it’s predecessors he attached a condition to it. In every town Celica parishes must not exceed 7 e.g Otta-7,Oyo-7,Badagry-7,Offa-7,Chicago-7,Paris-7 etc. This is to ensure proper and coordinated spiritual monitoring of the iriju (pastor’s representatives), elders and worshippers. This is to ensure strict compliance with the tenets and doctrines of the church. The founders were able to curb many excess in their churches when they were alive but after their demise some did not follow the divinely laid down doctrine. This has led to crisis and divisions, in Cherubim and Seraphim you have factions such as Eternal Sacred order, Sacred order,Holy order,Zion,Divine order,Praying band),CAC (Oluseye/Abiara, Udofia, Obadare factions), Celestial (Bada, Owodunni, Mobiyina,Maforikan, Shonekan, Agbaossi factions) however one good thing is that all the factions still acknowledge the founders as the anointed prophets in the various churches. This has led to some unfulfilled spiritual mandate of these three preceeding churches and thus the establishment of Celica Church of Christ.

SUCCESSION IN CELICA CHURCH OF CHRIST

The Lord Jesus Christ has chosen and anointed a successor for the founder, Anointed Prophet Emmanuel Adetunji Adeonigbabge in person of Rev Samuel Olujimi Adeonigbagbe on Sunday July 7th 2002. He was chosen not because he is the blood son of the founder but because no incisions or herbs had ever been used on him from birth. He has been dedicated to the Lord right from birth. He is to be addressed as the pastor and supreme head of Celica church of Christ. When he was younger during an anointment exercise in Ketu he had knelt down in front of Papa Oshoffa. Papa Oshoffa joking asked him what position he wanted to be anointed with and he pointed to Supreme Evangelist Abiodun Bada and said his post. Papa Oshoffa laughed, dipped his hand in the anointing oil and placed it on his head. The first and probably the last time during papa’s lifetime in Celestial that a little boy will be so anointed !
BEING CAFEFUL IN OUR UTTERANCES

We should be careful when talking about Anointed Prophets of God, they are God’s mouthpiece. Quoting Numbers 12 vs 1-9 “Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses becos of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. This is one of the cursed nations and whom God told told the Isrealites not to intermarry with.
At once the Lord said to the 3 of them, come out to the tent of meeting, listen to my words: when a prophet of the Lord is among u, I reveal myself to him in visions, I reveal myself in dreams: but this is not true of my servant Moses, he is faithful in all my house, with him I speak in clearly and not in riddles: he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were u not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
The anger of the Lord burned against them and he left them: when the cloud lifted above the tent, there stood Miriam leprous like snow” The Lord told prophet Hosea “Go take yourself a wife of harlotry, so he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim.” Hosea 1 vs 1-3.
You cannot fathom how God works, Isa 55 vs 8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts nor your ways my ways says the Lord, for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than my ways and my thoughts higher than my thoughts”

”MATT 7 VS 1-2 “DO not judge or u too will be judged.for in the same way u judge others,u will be judged and with the same measure u use,it will be measured to u and psalm 105 vs 15”do not touch my anointed ones,do my prophets no harm IT is not for u to judge anyone or cast aspersions on any church as i earlier said.ROMANS 14 VS 12”so then each of us will give an account of himself to God”.”
ON JUDGEMENT DAY PROPHET ORIMOLADE will stand and each baba aladura,apostle,leader and worshipper under cherubim and seraphim will give account of their stewardship whether they followed the tenets and doctrines laid down by Jesus Christ for the founder, Apostle Babalola will stand and each pastor,evangelist,elder and worshipper under Christ Apostolic Church will give account of their stewardship whether they followed the tenets and doctrines laid down by Jesus Christ for the founder, prophet Oshoffa will stand and each evangelist,shepherd,prophet,elder and worshipper under Celestial Church of Christ will give account of their stewardship whether they followed the tenets and doctrines laid down by Jesus Christ for the founder, prophet Adeonigbagbe will stand and each bishop,iriju,apostle,prophet,elder and worshipper under Celica Church of Christ will give account of their stewardship whether they followed the tenets and doctrines laid down by Jesus Christ for the founder, prophet Josiah Akindayomi will stand and pastor Adeboye,each pastor,,elder and worshipper under Redeemed Christian Church of God will give account of their stewardship whether they followed the tenets and doctrines laid down by Jesus Christ for the founder.it will be like that for every church originated from our Lord Jesus Christ. Are u surprised by this revelation.Amos 3:7 whatever the Lord plans to do,he tells his servants the prophets”..
CONCLUSION
DIVISIONS IN CHRISTENDOM
Many people have negative opinions and misconceptions about white garment churches. .It is not their fault but as a result of some negative actions by some people within the fold. You must understand that even among the Lord’s disciples there was a Judas. There are some Judases among the fold and it cuts across Christendom from orthodox, pentecostal, gospel to spiritual churches. Spiritual churches are more pronounced because we have a uniform, our garments of glory.Let us not stain our garments of glory “with palm oil”.It is up to the youths in the spiritual churches, we must begin a massive re-orientation, reformation and revitalization in our various denominations. Let us imbibe the values of the founding fathers, zeal for the Lord, selfless service, love for humanity ,fairness,tolerance,dedication,obedience to God’s directives, discipline,truthfulness and sincerity, honour and most importantly showing the way of salvation which is our Lord Jesus Christ.The kingdom of satan causes divisions, fights, disagreement and misunderstanding. That is its work,it is normal therefore that Satan is waging war against Christendom. Christendom should be united against the kingdom of Satan instead we are having differences. Let us not discriminate, our Lord Jesus Christ is the same so no matter which side he shows u. What he only wants is for us to serve him and he wants to draw people to himself that is why he descended different types of churches .If u don’t worship in one, u will worship in another, just serve the Lord Jesus Christ faithfully.
John 10 vs. 1-6 “ There are other sheep which belong to me that are not in this sheepfold, I must bring them too: they will listen to my voice and they will become one flock with one shepherd” ( all churches who serve our Lord Jesus Christ truthfully and faithfully).God himself will expose those who are corrupting the good works of great men of God who are truly called,who have not mixed with the occult or polluted their calls.The time is at hand and there will be great surprises across Christendom when secrets are exposed.

Remain blessed in Jesus name.

gbenga_9ja: I cannot believe that there is actually a discussion regarding Celestial Church Of Christ(CCC) ijo mimo ti kristi lati orun wa - meaning the church of Jesus Christ from Heaven,  well, i have a lot to say about this Church (Cele)

I and all of my siblings were born and named in CCC and my father happened to also be part of the Leaders of CCC, he became very rich while he was worshipping in Cele and he also became very poor when he realized that Cele wasn't a good church, he also had beefs with the leaders most especially the Late Pastor Bada and others regarding how they were handling the church, the leaders are corrupt and it is most especially filled with Adultery(Agbere) i think that is what they used to all it, well, he backed out of Cele and we started going to Zoe Ministries and things started falling apart seriously as if it was the Cele Leaders themselves that were dealing with him and causing all the problems, he had a Travel Agency bck then in Ikeja (Transmission Travel Agency), he had a bread factory(Long life special bread), he had a bed and foam factory, he had a Candle Factory(Transmission Candles), he had that mainly because Cele uses Candles in everything they do, he had a soap factory, he had a Saw-mill, believe me, when we left Cele, everything was no more, i really don't know what happened because i was still a kid then but i remember very clearly that we were not able to pay our school fees regularly anymore and we always got droven home for that.

We were living in Alimosho in Iyana Ipaja bck then, he had four houses over there, we live in one and three others were let out to people for renting, as i am typing right now, all of this things mentioned above are no more, they don't exist anymore, as in, he isn't the owner anymore, he got them all sold out for whatever reason and he doesn't av a dime to show that he actually sold his companies, houses, cars, he even had a parish he built personally in Abule- Egba, Oluwa Olubukun Transmission Parish when we left Jerusalem parish at shasha in Dopemu. Up till today, i do not know what happened to that property.

Well, i personally never liked Cele, this son of Olusho only gets to church on Sundays and goes to the Ile Abo to sleep till the service is over, i most especially do not like the idea of walking bare-footed, i always get scolded or beaten for wearing slippers into the Church premises back then, the only thing i liked was the ikore omode which i always participate in by reading the ori ikeje, ese ketala bere lati ,  and preaching the sermon and i love the ikore Agba because i get to eat a lot and this omo olusho always gets lts of money from the Agba's of CCC.

I think everything about Cele is evil, every damn thing, they worship the devil and he makes you rich, when you decide to back out, he deals with you but God always takes control, if it wasn't for God, my old man would have died long ago of probably Hypertension and other ailment because it isn't easy to loss everything you ever worked for in your life and from something you become nothing.

I do not ever pray to step into Cele again, infact, i feel it is very local people that still goes to Cele. They are not serving the real God that we serve in the Pentecoastal Church, We are going to Redeemed Christian Church Of God now(RCCG) and i really do like it there because we serve the true living God, we don't bow many times, and say halleluyah to the four corners of the world or go to the ile anu to pray and use the well water to bathe, i'll still say some more things about Cele later anymore because what i av to say is much, besides, the final thing to say right now is that all of those my father's tight friends back then, they are nowhere to be found now because they realized it is no longer sweet, abihuhhuh

If Cele was a good church, they won't be losing all their leaders, Bada, Ajalekoko etc. God rest their Souls.
To respond to Gbenga 9ja question who said Celestial Church of Christ is very bad and responsible for the downfall of his father. His father, Monday Odiye, is well known in the celestial circle then. He was a very generous man.The church aided the great success of his father as well as many others at the period.Those other people,many of whom are still successful,are still in Celestial while others have left but they are still well of. The question is why is his father’s case different maybe Gbenga should ask his father what really transpired. Let his father open up to him. Citing some examples, Eratus Akingbola, ex-CEO, Intercontinental bank, is a member of Redeemed Christian Church of God.
Is Redeemed Christian Church of God responsible for his travails or is he accusing the church of being behind his problems likewise Cecilia Ibru. Is their churches responsible for the crisis they are going through.

Joagbaje: The hebrew WORD for GLORIUOS in heberew is ADAR,TIPARA and KABOD to my understandung . What's the proof that celiac is Hebrew word .? Can we have a reference..

I believe he chose the name just to sound like celestial where he pulled out from to retain CCC . Celiac is not a heberew word.
To get Celica settled on its feet God asked prophet Adeonigbagbe to seal the altar for 3 months and that all members,he inclusive, must revert back to the ordinary sutanah. At the end of this period in one of the visions, 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.

Delafruita: christianity has made people absolutely craazzzzyyy.whats the meaning of all this bullcrap?why couldnt it be dead prophets from madagascar or somalia that appeared to the nutcase pastor?why couldnt it be igbo pastors or fulani pastors?you guys are sick
I read with great interest the comments passed by some people about the church.I also saw that Delafruita and Enilove had already passed judgment without having first information about the church and its activities.It is a case of misconceptions or bad experiences with other white garment churches .One bad experience with a particular church or parish does not mean u will use it to judge the whole church or other churches.
Firstly, i want to say the establishment of Celica Church of Christ is not a man-made idea but by the divine order of our Lord Jesus Christ. the founder of the 3 preceding denominations were truly commissioned by our Lord Jesus Christ to liberate the earth from darkness, they were the Anointed Prophets of their generation. They are resting in the bosom of their Lord and are still working in their various churches to this day. That is why there are still signs and wonders when their members call on the God of Orimolade,Babalola and Oshoffa to this this day. To buttress this read Mark 9 vs 1-12,Matt 17 vs 1=13”after 6 days Jesus took Peter, James and John to a high mountain where they were alone. there he was transfigured before them, his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them and there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus. as they were coming down he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until he was raised from the dead.”Also read Matt 22 vs 23-33 when the Sadducees came to test our Lord Jesus Christ with questions about marriage at the resurrection.”Jesus replied ‘u are in error because you don’t know the scriptures or the power of God, at the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage, they will be like angels in heaven but about the resurrection of the dead have you not read what God said to u, i am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. he is not the God of the dead but of the living.
Therefore the 3 founders are not dead spiritually but still living and working spiritually in their various denominations. that is why they are able to appear to prophet Adeonigbagbe and gave him the baton to continue the mandate which our Lord Jesus Christ sent them to do in the world. Prophet Adeonigbagbe’s mandate can be found in in Isaiah 60 and 61 quoting chapter 61 vs 1’the spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor, he has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners”

At the inception of the church several elements raised so much opposition they said at several periods that the church will not last for 3 months,1 year,3 years and 7 years before folding up. Prophet Adeonigbagbe answered with the words of Gamaliel in Acts 5 vs 34-39”For if our purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail; But if it is from God you will not be able to stop us; you will only find yourself fighting against God; however we boldly say we must obey God rather than men” since the establishment of the church is divine. Prophet Adeonigbagbe is also strengthened by the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ who called him in The book of John 16 vs 33”In this world you will have trouble; But take heart ! I have overcome the world! and also from the book of psalms 62 vs 1-2”My soul finds rest in God alone;my salvation comes from him;he alone is my rock and salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken”. Please always watch the words you utter out especially when talking about genuine prophets of God.You are not the one who chose and called them so you cannot judge their actions.They will give account of their stewardship to our Lord Jesus Christ who commissioned them.

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna!
