The Celestial Church of Christ World-wide came into the world from heaven by DIVINE ORDER on the 29th of September 1947 in PORTO NOVO, REPUBLIC OF BENIN (formerly REPUBLIC OF DAHOMEY) through a single individual, a man who is the founder of the Church, the Reverend Pastor Prophet Founder SAMUEL BILEHOU JOSEPH OSHOFFA.
The Church has its National (Diocesan) Headquarter-, at 12/15 Church Street, Makoko, Yaba, Lagos state, the Supreme Headquarters in Porto Novo, Republic of Benin and with International Headquarters at Mission House, Ketu, Lagos state, Nigeria.
THE DIVINE ORDER
On the 29th of September, 1947, in the deep mystery of the divine appearance, during prayer, of the winged angel bathed in intense light, word came from God to the Founder:
“It is the wish of God to send you on an errand of preaching to the world. Many nominal Christians there are who, when confronted by difficulties and problems of this world, they run after fetish priests and other powers of darkness for all kinds of assistance. Consequently, on their death, they cannot see Christ because, by their action, Satan has left his spiritual mark on them. To assist you in your work so that men may listen to and follow you, miraculous works of Holy divine healing will be carried out by you in the name of Jesus Christ. These works of divine healing and God’s spiritual mark on you will testify to the fact that God sent you”. Thus was born the world-wide CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST.
The name of the Church came down from Heaven by divine revelation through MR. ALEXANDER YANGA, who was at that time undergoing spiritual healing at the residence of the Pastor Founder and who was held in trance for seven days. At the end of the seventh day, he asked for a piece of chalk and wrote the name of the Church on the wall thus.. “EGLISE DU CHRISTLANISME CELESTE”, meaning “Celestial Church of Christ”.
Apart from also being a prophet, the Founder was allowed by DIVINE ORDER to use the name “EPASTORAL” in angelic language, which was also translated for him’ as “PASTOR”. This was after he had spent the first five years since the birth of the Church as “EVANGELIST”.
For some kids, we have the joy of working a little harder to make sure they are welcomed well. We call this our Breakthrough ministry and we seek to support neuro-diverse and special needs children. Parents and staff collaborate to find the best fit for the child. We have three different approaches:
Early Years (Ages 0-6): Inclusion model
Elementary (1st – 6th Grade): Inclusion model
Breakthrough (1st Grade – 18 years old): Sensory sensitive classroom
We believe our church is richer for these little ones and we seek to partner with Gods’ dreams and purposes for them. For more information and to notify us that your child will be joining us, please email: example@cmsmasters.com
