CCC's Head Mobiyina Oschoffa Issues Six Months Ultimatum To Factional Leaders (Religion)

 A few days ago, His Eminence, Rev, Emmanuel Mobiyina Oschoffa, the son of late founder of Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) and current Pastor of the church, made a revelation. He said his father appeared to him in a vision and expressly sent him so e policy guidelines for unification of the church and conduct if certain religious practices in the church.

But, like the cliche goes, it is easier said than done. It is one thing to reveal the messages he received from the late founder. But, how can these fresh mandates be enforced?

Mega Mode Media's investigation reveals that CCC does not celebrate Adult harvests until after Juvenile harvests in June. But, some churches within the sect now hold Adult Harvests before Juvenile harvests, some as early as in February and March. This is a clear violation of church's doctrine as laid down by the late founder.

Now, there are several people in the sect who have been anointed at gatherings other than the prescribed recognized locations that have been anointed to become "Pastor" of CCC. Ideally, there is only one Pastor in CCC who is the overall head. It is a clear affront to constituted authority.

But, as said earlier, the lack of enforcement of any guidelines and punishment for offenders are the weaknesses in these mandates. 

But, this time, Mobiyina issues a stern warning that would befall erring members who do not obey the unification call within six months. "We have been given 6 (SIX) MONTHS to hearken to this message before serious condemnation, punishment, and consequences befall anyone like Achan, who was destroyed by God despite his meritorious service to God with Joshua. (Joshua 7: 18-20)"

Clearly, CCC needs to establish a task force comprising eminent church figures to enforce these policies. Otherwise, they remain mere letters on paper. 

It is lack of enforcement tof certain rules that are causing these to be broken with impunity. .

CCC, established in 1847 by SBJ Oschoffa. He died in 1985 and the church got embraced in a protracted leadership crisis which splintered it into seven factions by the late 1990s.

There has been losing of ranks in recent years till there are two factions left. These are the two factions Mobiyina said Oschoffa is displeased with and desires unification. 

For details, extracts from Rev. Mobiyina Oschoffa's letter reads:

"...It is with a heart filled with absolute reverence for God Almighty and total deference to my biological father, Saint S.B.J Oshoffa, that I, Reverend Pastor E.M.F Oshoffa, deliver this message to all members of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, irrespective of whether you belong to the Ketu Mainstream or the Nigeria Diocese, or indeed any other faction."

"In recent times, my father, Saint S.B.J Oshoffa, who is also the founder of our great church, has appeared to me in visions, on a number of occasions, with a very strong and clear message on the UNIFICATION of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide."

"His voice was very clear and categorical, and resolute as he told me that, going forward, the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide must become ONE BODY. IIn other words, FACTIONS and DIVISIONS MUST NO LONGER EXIST within the church."

"Permit me to outline below the revelations given to me by my father.... Saint S.B.J Oshoffa, concerning the unification of Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide:

Henceforth, the classification of the Celestial Church of Christ into two major sectional groups (Trustee and Diocese) MUST STOP, it is a blatant desecration of the altar of God, as it divides of the body of Christ into two.

The 1980 Constitution and the 2000 amended constitution (Blue Book) recognizes only one body of Christ."

"The following are the citadels of the Celestial Church of Christ, stated in the following order;

1. Celestial Church of Christ, Supreme Headquarters, Porto Novo, Republic of Benin.

2. Celestial Church of Christ, National Headquarters, Archdiocese, Makoko, Yaba, Lagos.

3. Celestial Church of Christ, International Headquarters, Ketu, Lagos.

4. Celestial Church of Christ, World Headquarters, Imeko, Ogun State.

5.Regional/Headquarters/Area/District/Zonal Headquarters."

"Apart from the afore-stated, no other Headquarters is recognized by the Holy Spirit."

"Given the clarity and intensity of the pronouncements of SAINT S.B.J OSHOFFA, in his appearances to me, I, REVEREND PASTOR EMMANUEL MOBIYINA OSHOFFA, hereby call on all SHEPHERDS that have not yet registered their parish(es) with the afore-mentioned Headquarters of the fold to do so WITHIN THE NEXT 6 (SIX) MONTHS in line with the pronouncements of SAINT S.B.J OSHOFFA in his appearances to me.

In the same vein, I also call on all SHEPHERDS that have registered their parishes to come forward and RE-REGISTER such parishes.

A CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION would be issued to each parish as you REGISTER. Please note that this REGISTRATION is TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE."

"A detailed TIME-TABLE highlighting when each REGION and STATE in Nigeria should come forward for REGISTRATION at KETU would be released shortly, ditto for all Dioceses in diaspora.

"Spiritually, in the appearances of SAINT S.B.J OSHOFFA to me, IMEKO remains the Annual Convocation Ground for all members of the fold to converge for Christmas and other religious activities.Imeko, like we all know, is also the final resting place of our reverred founder, SAINT S.B.J OSHOFFA. Any attempt by anyone to promote, worship, or converge in any other place in Nigeria for the December Convocation will amount to sending an open invitation to the wrath of God."

"Anointment and placing of hand on members should be strictly DISCOURAGED by various individuals adorning the garb of pastors without divine approval. Let it be known that it is a curse on the anointee and anointed to give and receive spiritual impartatuon without the approval of the Holy Spirit."

"I, therefore, beseech members of our great church to desist from taking any ANOINTMENT that may bring frightening divine consequences upon them."

"Finally, in the revelations, my father and founder of the Celestial Church of Christ, SAINT SBJ OSHOFFA, made it crystal clear that all of us have served with our strength, time and dedication, therefore the post of Pastor and/or higher ranks in the church should not destroy our salvation and eternal glory".

"...I have taken pains to publish this message for the spiritual benefit of all our members and for the peace and unity of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide.

We have been given 6 (SIX) MONTHS to hearken to this message before serious condemnation, punishment, and consequences befall anyone like Achan, who was destroyed by God despite his meritorious service to God with Joshua. (Joshua 7: 18-20)

With an overwhelming sense of humility, I extend a hand of love and fellowship to all our brethren, no matter the faction they belong to, and look forward to welcoming all of them back home within the next SIX MONTHS.

Thank you, and God bless you all

E-Signed

His Eminence, Reverend E.M.F Oshoffa
