His Eminence, Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa, Pastor and Spiritual Head of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, is in a joyous mood as he joins teeming Celestians from Edo State and beyond to celebrate the 90th birthday of Pastoral Adviser, Most Superior Evangelist Nosaghare Kenneth Amadasu. In his words, “Pa N.K. Amadasu is a Celestian par excellence whom God has used mightily to enlarge the coast of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide in Edo State and beyond. As he turns 90 today, I celebrate this great man of God for all he has done, still doing and will continue to do for our great church for many more years to come. I wish him all the best in longevity, good health and prosperity in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Most Sup. Evang. Nosaghare Kenneth Amadasu , Pastoral Adviser, CCC W/w, popularly called by many “Papa Amadasu” is one of the foremost Celestians in the then Bendel State.
He is among the few that propagated the gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, with the late Reverend Pastor P. H. Ajose, whom God used to bring the Celestial Church of Christ to Benin City, Edo State. This was followed by the establishment of so many parishes in the entire South -South and South-East region. He was made the patron of Celestial Church of Christ, Wire Road, Mother Parish, by the late Pastor Founder, Reverend S. B. J. Oshoffa.
Out of his passion for Celestial Church of Christ during his early years in the Church and even while he was still employed, Pa N.K. Amadasu often went to the office wearing his white garment (Sutana).
In 1973, God used him to plant a parish called Mission Road Parish in his family compound. That parish is now Upper Igun Province Headquarters.
In the early 80’s, Most Superior Evangelist N.K. Amadasu introduced the late Oba of Benin, Oba Erediauwa to Reverend S. B. J. Oshoffa and in 1983, the Pastor Founder through Papa Amadasu came to Benin city to hold a 3 Day Crusade. On two of those days, the crusade was held on the grounds of the Oba of Benin’s palace, while the third day program was held at Celestial Church of Christ, Wire Road, Mother Parish. After the crusade, the late Oba of Benin, Oba Erediauwa came to offer thanks to God at the Celestial Church of Christ, Upper Igun Parish, as a result of the mighty works and miracles that God performed through Reverend S. B. J. Oshoffa.
Papa Amadasu is a disciplinarian to the core. He upheld several appointments within the Celestial hierarchical organogram at various times in his journey so far. This includes District Evangelist and State Evangelist of Delta State and also State Evangelist of Rivers state. He was an intimate son of Papa S.B.J Oshoffa and a unrepentant lover of Celestial Church of Christ and all it stands for.
Papa N.K Amadasu is blessed with many biological and spiritual children.
A special Birthday Thanksgiving Service would be held at the Celestial Church of Christ, G.R.A. Parish, Benin City, at 1.00 pm today, Tuesday, 4th April, 2023, in honour of the celebrant.
Similarly, His Eminence also sends birthday greetings to MC Mojisola Alegbe, Jp, M.P.I.C, the indefagable Treasurer of the Pastor in Council, Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, who also celebrates her birthday today. Reverend E.M.F. Oshoffa wishes the celebrant a happy birthday, long life, good health and prosperity. He prays that her labour of love in the Lord’s vineyard shall not be in vain in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
