His Eminence, Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa, the Pastor and Spiritual Head of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, has set out clear cut rules and conditions to be met as regards eligibility, as well as appointment and anointment of clergy men to higher ranks in the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide.

His Eminence, Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa

Speaking to C.C.C. Media at the pastoral residence in Lagos, Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa called on all C.C.C. clergy men and women to make an extra effort to be closer to God in the new year, 2023. He called on them to build treasures for themselves in heaven where such treasures can neither rot, wither nor be destroyed. His Eminence quoted copiously from the book of Colossians 3: 1-4, which says: “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”

Reverend E.M.F. Oshoffa emphasized that, going forward, there would be no short cuts and bending of laid down rules and policies concerning clergy appointments and anointments into higher ranks in the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide. He warned that anyone, no matter how highly placed, who attempts to undermine this policy as set out in the pastoral proclamation just released, would face extreme disciplinary actions.

    Very good decision,but what about for the non clergy like us?
    Also,the rate whereby you charge for the annointmet is too much. It doesn’t guarantee heaven,so let’s come down a little bit

    Is this one not going to be injustice when you have given ranks to junior officers without these criteria and their senior officers who believe in due process will now be subjected to this law.
    Why now after you have given the anointment in December.
    God is not in injustice.
    Papa said “Emi ni mo pin oye Olorun lo npin agabara” Let people who wants to die over the ranks go on getting more. Akisa ni lorun won gbeyin.
    These criteria are not even worth those ranks.
    Criteria to use should be how many souls have you worn for Christ? What is the show that you have already exhausted all the functions of this rank before you know that you are due for another one.
    Olorun mo awon tie. They dont run for titles but for achievements in the kingdom.

    Finacial standard stipulated here means that ketu is only interested in money and not real spiritual growth as given by Papa. A church in far north still struggling and a church in Lagos with the same officer rank, what will be the basis for their promotion according to these standards stipulated here.
    10 to 15 years to move from one rank to another is not a justification. The work is what qualifies us.
    Our hymn says “Eni sise lo ni orun …………….ise ise la nwo nibe” not years.
    We need spiritually oriented people to help redesign our administration in this church.
    God bless us all.
