Celestial Church Prophet Sells Candle For ₦1.5 Million During Live Service by lagostrendboy(op): 11:21am On Jul 23, 2025
A Celestial Church of Christ service has gone viral after a prophet reportedly sold a candle for ₦1.5 million to a congregant during a live service.

The controversial incident was captured in a TikTok video posted by @yourariesqueenofficial, sparking mixed reactions online. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
How the Candle Sale Happened

In the footage, prophets inside the church were seen advertising candles to the congregation while a man with a microphone kept announcing escalating prices, starting from a few hundred thousand naira to ₦1.1 million, and finally reaching ₦1.5 million.

To the shock of many members, a male worshipper eventually stood up, approached the altar, and collected the candle before kneeling down, apparently as a symbolic spiritual act.
Mixed Reactions Online

The video has drawn criticism and debate on social media, with many Nigerians questioning the commercialization of religion and labeling the act as “modern-day spiritual extortion.”

Selling 'anointed' candle during service?

This is why Jesus exhibited holy anger by whipping out business merchants out of the temple angry

Money Must be Made from the lazy congregation. Indians, Lebanese and Chinese are busy opening factory in the manufacturing sector all over the country but we Nigerians are busy paying tithes and donating to men of god🤦

This is unfortunate to see such charlatan now in the Celestial Church.
I am a Celestian.
Since the different factions of the Celestial Leadership started, it has really made many Shepherds in charge and Woli (Prophet's) to derail from the Church doctrine.
Our Spiritual Father SAINT SBJ OSHOFFA never sold candles to anyone for any reason.
I pray that the Celestial family will settle their Leadership Crisis and become one eternal Family again.

Everyone is now doing his own, all in the name of Celestial.
God have mercy.🌈

This is not new Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide. Even when Nigeria money is still average strong then Transmission (a celestial member) will buy a candle for over a million during Bazaar in late 90's and early 2000.
Re: Celestial Church Prophet Sells Candle For ₦1.5 Million During Live Service by shoodboi2:
He auctioned off a single candle. It's more of a fundraising than actually selling a candle for that amount. This article is misleading.
Re: Celestial Church Prophet Sells Candle For ₦1.5 Million During Live Service by simonhabby(m): 12:34pm On Jul 23, 2025
That's bazaar na. It's just fundraising. It's not about the candle but more of a donation to the church.

Please come off it
How you can you buy a candle or 1.5m not talk of 5m?
It is not about arguing online it is about careful thinking that some things are just unreasonable.

There is nothing to sit and learn there because what happens is that you put the rest of the members into panic and depressed mode..or are you saying salvation is no longer free?

efcc should arrest the buyer and seller, they need to explain their source of wealth and the seller to reveal all the people he sells to

See the Evil flag you are wielding under your post!

Is Celestial church even a church of Jesus Christ?

A church where a pastor licks the tongue of another pastor?

Are you people not promoting homosexuality?

What makes you think such atrocity will enter zion?
