We lost her yesterday!
Thursday, 14th March, 2024, was suddenly eclipsed by a thick dark cloud. Darkness thick enough to slice with a knife suddenly seemed to cover the firmament like a thick blanket.
To many, it’s still a bad dream…a terrible nightmare… that they fervently hope to wake up from.
But Nay, it’s true, sadly and devastatingly true… We lost her!
PROPHETESS DEBORAH GBOLASERE OSHOFFA is gone! Gone like a candle in the wind!! Gone to be with the Lord!!!
The reality is slowly dawning on many and the tributes have started rolling in.
Not in trickles but in torrents!!!
In honour of our departed mother, sister, daughter and friend, C.C.C. Media and Publicity Unit, serves you a deluge of some of the tributes already received below:
GBOLASERE O DIGBA
Deborah related well with me as a big brother. You would think I was her stepbrother. She obeyed my instructions even when it was difficult for her to do so. She was a sweet soul. Peculiar in her ways, just like we all are; none of us better than her.
We held a minute’s silence for her soul last night @ C.C.C. PraiseVille, live on air… As she began her 40 days’ spiritual sojourn on her way to Judgement Day.
(See Acts 1 and Hebrews 9:27. Let’s all rethink the essence and significance of God’s Gift of First Amissa to us in C.C.C.).
I trust that God will deal kindly with our late sister’s soul in Jesus name. Amen. Awa to ku ni ka mu ra nitori awa na yio ku lojo kan.
My heartfelt condolences go to Deborah’s children, as well as her brothers and sisters in the Oshoffa Family and to her ex-husband and father of their children, VSE James Aso…
May God comfort them all in Jesus name. Amen.
Gbogbo wa ni yio duro niwaju Oluwa…

“DEATH” is inevitable and it will come when it is time. No one can question God Almighty but we thank God that she lived a life full of great impact in the lives of so many that she touched while on earth. She will be sorely missed.

Life is short and uncertain but your untimely departure has left us in a devastated state. Rest in the bosom of our lord Jesus Christ. The beautiful children you left behind shall continue to expand and grow the divine legacies you left behind. Adieu. Superior Evangelist Thomas Odozi MBOT, MPIC
It is saddening to hear the demise of one of the Great Oshoffas, Prophetess Deborah Oshoffa. What a world full of nothing but which people take as if they own everything. We are all passengers and one by one we will be stepping down. The unfortunate part is that the bus of life will never stop because anyone, I repeat anyone steps down, it continues its journey. The clock continues to tick tock tick tock. May God Almighty forgive her shortcomings while on the planet earth and grant her soul rest in Jesus name. Condolences to the Oshoffa family, our father ,His Eminence, Reverend, Pastor Emmanuel Mobiyina Friday Oshoffa and the Celestial family Worldwide. MSE David Bello MPIC
