His Eminence, Reverend E.M.F. Oshoffa<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The<\/strong> Pastor and Spiritual Head of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwid<\/strong>e, His Eminence, Reverend Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa <\/em><\/strong>has released new directives towards achieving set goals in the infrastructural development of the Celestial Holy City in Imeko, Imeko-Afon Local Government Area, Ogun State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new directives are contained in a memo titled, “The Journey Continues- Together, We Must Build Celestial City, Imeko, Into Our Own Jerusalem,” <\/strong>and addressed to all Regional Heads, Shepherds and all parishes of the Celestial Church of Christ worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the memo, Reverend E.M.F. Oshoffa <\/em><\/strong>stated that the new directives seek to ensure that considerable progress is made in the Imeko City Development Project <\/strong>before the December 2024 <\/em>Annual Convocation Programme of the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the new directive, the Pastor directed all Shepherds of the Celestial Church of Christ to immediately commence the contribution of N5,000 (five thousand Naira) per month <\/strong><\/em> and [$2\/\u20ac2\/\u00a31 per month for Shepherds in diaspora]<\/strong> to the Imeko City Development project, while all members of the church are expected to make a monthly donation of N2,000 (two thousand Naira)<\/em><\/strong> for same cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, each parish of the Celestial Church of Christ has been directed to pay a levy of N5,000 (five thousand Naira) <\/em><\/strong>towards the Imeko City Development Project <\/strong>from the Juvenile Harvest income.<\/strong> The sum of which is different from the Juvenile Harvest Returns.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, His Eminence, Reverend E.M.F. Oshoffa<\/em><\/strong> instructed that during Adult Harvest Thanksgiving celebration, C.C.C. parishes <\/strong>all over the world and Shepherds <\/strong>in conjunction with the Harvest Officiating Minister from<\/strong> the Pastor’s office <\/strong>must set aside 15 minutes <\/em><\/strong>to sensitise and raise collections for the Imeko City Development Project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memo further stated that payment and collection of all these funds, which shall be coordinated by Shepherds and Administrative Heads,<\/strong> are to be remitted into the project account published as, Zenith Bank Account Number 1225674111 <\/strong>and with the name: CCC P.I.C. Works and Projects Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While encouraging Celestians all over the world to continue to support the Imeko City Development Project, Reverend E.M.F. Oshoffa <\/em><\/strong>reminded C.C.C. members that it was the desire of the late founder of the church, Saint Samuel Bilewu Joseph Oshoffa<\/em><\/strong> (his father), to develop the Celestial Holy City, Imeko,<\/strong> into a pilgrimage site for Christians all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

E.M.F. <\/em><\/strong>further assured that considerable progress has been made in the first phase of the Imeko City Development Project,<\/strong> which began last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the achievements, as driven by the Pastor In Council Works and Projects Committee, <\/strong>were listed as, connection of the Imeko Basilicca and its environs to the National Grid, construction of drainages and installation of solar powered street lighs to mention a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the next phase of the Imeko City Development Project<\/strong> seeks to extend the Celestial Basilica, Imeko, by 50 metres <\/em><\/strong>on both the right and left sides to cater for the overflow of congregants, while also completing the beautification of the landscape around the worship centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the beautification project tagged “Say No to Dust in Imeko,<\/em><\/strong>” it is also expected that all roads around the Basilica will be tarred upon the completion of the project in December 2024.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the Pastor and Spiritual Head of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide noted that Administrative Heads and Shepherds<\/strong> must show proof of payment of the Imeko City Development Levy <\/strong>before their requests will be attended to at the Administrative Unit of the Pastor’s office.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s Build Our Own Jerusalem by Re-Awakening the Dream of our Founding Father, Saint S.B.J. Oshoffa.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLEASE HELP REBROADCAST WIDELY!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
