His Eminence, Reverend E.M.F. Oshoffa

The Chief Imam of Imedu-Okepa, Mowe, Ogun State, Imam Abdulahi Ayinde, would remain forever grateful to His Eminence, Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa, Pastor and Supreme Head of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, C.C.C. Queen of Mercy Parish, Mowe, Ogun State and indeed the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, for rescuing his wife, Hajia  Abdulahi Sherifat, from the valley of death, after several months in the throes of a life threatening ailment.

Narrating the life saving encounter that took place at the Celestial Church of Christ, Queen of Mercy Parish, Mowe, Ogun State, Imam Abdulahi Ayinde informed C.C.C. Media that when his wife’s tummy began to protrude several months back, the family was overjoyed because the belief was that she was carrying a pregnancy. But as the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, joy turned into anxiety and anxiety into throbbing fear, as it became clear that his wife’s bulging tummy was not a pregnancy but something mysterious and unknown.

That was when the race from pillar to post and from Cape to Cairo, in search of a medical and spiritual solution, began in earnest. The couple scampered helter skelter, traversing hospitals and healing homes, all to no avail. In the process, several solutions were offered. Some even told the couple that the woman was carrying a normal pregnancy which would be delivered soon enough. In the process also, huge sums of  money went down the drain, yet Hajia Abdulahi Sherifat’s stomach continued to bulge with no solution in sight.

Out of pocket, frustrated and near hopeless, the couple was left with little or no choice but to resign to fate. They continued to hope against hope that an unseen hand would come to the rescue of the heavily traumatised and distressed wife of the Chief Imam of Imedu-Okepa, Mowe, Ogun State.

The last place that Chief Imam Abdulahi Ayinde considered going to for succour was a parish of the Celestial Church of Christ. Why would he go to a church, not to even talk of a Celestial Church for that matter? For crying out loud, he was not just a Muslim but a prominent Muslim leader who had risen to become, not just an Imam but a Chief Imam of the Islamic faith. Therefore, seeking succour in a church was simply not an option. That was his mind set.

But one fateful day, an unseen hand found him and pushed him in the direction of the last place he wanted to be found in. That hand led him to the Celestial Church of Christ, Queen of Mercy Parish, Mowe, Ogun State. In the premises of the parish is the Queen of Mercy Clinic and Maternity, also owned and operated by the parish.

The parish received Chief Imam Abdulahi Ayinde warmly and after listening to his plight, gave an assurance that they would take over all expenses for the treatment of his wife, Hajia Abdulahi Sherifat. Medical investigations and tests were immediately carried out on the patient and revealed that she was carrying a full grown fibroid and not a pregnancy. Her condition required immediate surgery to evacuate the fibroid.

The Queen of Mercy Parish under the watch of AVSE James Adepoju immediately engaged the services of a specialist surgeon, all expenses paid, to carry out the surgery. And on Sunday, 21st August, 2022, the surgery was successfully done.

Today, Hajia Abdulahi Sherifat is back home with her family, hale and hearty.

Chief Imam Abdulahi Ayinde is eternally grateful. Hear him, “The Celestial Church of Christ is truly a church descended from Heaven for the salvation of mankind. I had no relationship whatsoever with them, yet they accepted my wife and I and spent a fortune to save the life of my wife, without collecting a Kobo from me. Words fail me in my attempt express my gratitude. May the light of God continue to shine on and in the Celestial Church of Christ. Amen.”
