The founder of the Celestial Church of Christ, Samuel Bilehou Joseph Oshoffa, has reportedly appeared in visions to his son, Emmanuel Mobiyina Friday Oshoffa, with a strong call for unity within the global fold of the church.
In a recent message released this March, Reverend (Pastor) Oshoffa, who is the spiritual head of the church, said the late founder appeared to him on several occasions with a clear directive that the church must unite and operate as one body, bringing an end to the long-standing divisions within the organisation.
Addressing members worldwide, he stressed that the continued existence of factions within the church contradicts the spiritual foundation laid by the founder.
According to him, the message revealed during the visions emphasised that the Celestial Church of Christ should no longer be divided along lines such as the Trustee and Diocese structures, insisting that the church must return to a unified spiritual authority.
He explained that the revelation reaffirmed four recognised headquarters of the church: the Supreme Headquarters in Porto-Novo, Republic of Benin; the National Headquarters at Makoko in Lagos; the International Headquarters at Ketu, also in Lagos; and the World Headquarters in Imeko.
He said the message indicated that these remain the only spiritually recognised centres of authority within the church.
Reverend Oshoffa also called on all shepherds who have not registered their parishes with the recognised headquarters to do so within the next six months, while those already registered are expected to re-register their parishes.
He assured that the registration process would be free and that certificates would be issued to all compliant parishes.
He further stressed that Imeko remains the designated annual convocation ground where members worldwide should gather for Christmas and other spiritual activities, noting that any attempt to organise alternative convocation centres in Nigeria would contradict the founder’s directive.
The spiritual leader also cautioned against unauthorised anointing practices by individuals claiming pastoral authority without divine approval, warning members to avoid spiritual practices that could attract negative consequences.
Reverend Oshoffa urged all leaders and members of the church to embrace the call for reconciliation and unity, saying the vision emphasised that those who ignore the message within six months risk facing spiritual consequences.
He concluded by extending a hand of fellowship to all members across different factions, expressing hope that the message would usher in peace, reconciliation and renewed unity within the global fold of the Celestial Church of Christ.
Below is the message in full:
Calvary greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the avatar of our faith and our redeemer.
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, categorical and resolute as he told me that, going forward, the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide must become ONE BODY.
In 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 and revered founder of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, Saint S.B.J Oshoffa, concerning the unification of C.C.C Worldwide:
1. SAINT S.B.J OSHOFFA made it clear that 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 the body of Christ into two.
The 1980 Constitution and the 2000 amended constitution (Blue Book) recognizes only one body of Christ.
2. SAINT S.B.J OSHOFFA stated that 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.
All 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 of registered 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.
3. 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 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.
4. 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 impartation 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.
5. 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, the post of Pastor and/or higher ranks in the church should therefore not destroy our salvation and eternal glory.
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)
May the Spirit of Our Lord Jesus Christ continue to guide us to achieve the divine injunction of the Holy Spirit that the Celestial Church of Christ is the last vessel that would cleanse the world, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
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.
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,
Pastor and Spiritual Head,
- C.C.C Worldwide. (13th March, 2026,)
