Halleluyah! Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!!!

Brethren,

May the peace and joy of the Lord continue to abide with us all in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

For us, in the Celestial Church of Christ, we have only just concluded the multiple celebrations of our 2022 Imeko Annual Convocation, my 20th Anniversary as Pastor and Supreme Head of C.C.C. W/w as well as my 74th birthday anniversary. All these events were a celebration of praises and thanksgiving to God Almighty for all He has done, doing and will continue to do.

The new year, 2023, also gives us another opportunity to give thanks for all that God has blessed us with this past year. We must also project into the new year with open arms to receive all the blessings to come. For me, as your Pastor and Spiritual Head, those blessings have been so abundant in the past year.

In the spirit of gratitude therefore, I would like to seize this opportunity to thank our Clergy, the Board of Trustees of the Church, the Members of the Pastor in Council (M.P.I.C.), the Workers in the Pastor’s Office, our Shepherds and Church Workers spread across the globe and indeed the entire membership of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, for your steadfastness, prayers and unwavering support.

I reach out to all those who are aggrieved in one way or the other and have chosen the path of litigation as i remind them of the words of our Lord in the scriptures (1 Corinthians 6: 1-2), “Furthermore, how dare you take a fellow believer to court! It is wrong to drag him before the unrighteous to settle a legal dispute. Isn’t it better to take him before God’s holy believers to settle the matter?”

In the spirit of peace and reconciliation, I choose this new year season to announce to all aggrieved parties that our doors are open to all. As brethren in Christ, we must explore the option of sitting at a table to resolve all differences, rather than dragging ourselves before the unjust. I look forward to sitting with you all very soon as we retrace our steps and take this option.

Happy new year to everyone. Glory to God in the highest and peace to us on earth. I pray that God showers us all with His uncountable blessings throughout the year.

Happy new year!

His Eminence, Reverend E.M.F. Oshoffa, Pastor and Supreme Head, C.C.C. W/w.
