Celica Church of Christ was established through the injunction of the holy spirit on November 15th, 1992 at Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria and was announced to the world via a press conference on that day.The church can be distinguished by its chant of hosanna and the mode of dressing, a white garment with a blue cross on left hand side of the garment .The logo of the church is an eye ,a cross and bible. The church believes in the prayers and guidance by the Holy Spirit in all its programmes.At the inception of the church some elements in the Celestial church fold raised so much opposition they said at several periods that the church will not last for 3 months, 1 year, 3 years and 7 years before folding off.


Prophet Adeonigbagbe answered with the words of Gamaliel in Acts 5 vs. 34-39”For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail; But if it is from God you will not be able to stop them; you will only find yourself fighting against God; however we boldly say we must obey God rather than men” since the establishment of the church is by divine order.

Prophet Adeonigbagbe is also strengthened by the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who called him, in the book of John 16 vs. 33”In this world you will have trouble; but take heart! I have overcome the world! and also from the book of psalms 62 vs. 1-2”My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him; he alone is my rock and salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken”.Celica Church of Christ is waxing stronger in the mandate given to it by the Lord,liberate people from darkness,showing our Lord Jesus Christ as the way to salvation,truth and life and never to mix with darkness'Occult" as butressed in the call Isaiah chapters 44,60 and 61.

The foundation of the church was laid on Jesus Christ and his grace has been sufficient in the midst all tribulations.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna!

Before the demise of the founder of the Celestial church, Pastor SBJ Oshoffa, the Lord had continually shown prophet Adeonigbagbe in a vision, a golden cup which was full of dirt inside and outside. The Lord told him to wash the cup, as he washed the cup, it continually became more dirty then the Lord told him that if he was not allowed to wash the cup, he should ask for a new golden cup but he declined repeatedly.
In another vision Papa Oshoffa appeared to Prophet Adeonigbagbe he showed him (Adeonigbagbe) 21 louvers of glass of which 18 had been broken.He told him to try and join the pieces together because he had the patience to do so. He also gave him a purple cloth, a big bell and a big bible alongside the louvers.
In another vision he led the prophet outside to a path and showed him a river. There were many people inside the river, it was polluted and dirty. Papa Oshoffa said he (Oshoffa) had allowed people into the river exclusively given to him by God and that they had polluted it. He led him to another river and said this will be you river now, you can see it is very clean and not polluted; do not let anyone fetch water from it except you. He said these words in Yoruba “Odo kan, Orisun kan” which translates as “One River, One Source”. His love for the Celestial Church then was great but all God’s words spoke to the church through him and other prophets were not strictly adhered to. In 1992, the Lord came to Prophet Adeonigbagbe again and asked him to ask for the descent of a new cup he declined as before but the Lord opened his mouth spiritually and the golden cup descended (a new dispensation). A ladder came down with angels descending on it and chanting Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord repeatedly then the shepherd himself, our Lord Jesus Christ came to tell him that henceforth his chant will not be halleluiah again but hosanna. In Celestial church of Christ, Yemetu, Ibadan, the Director of Prophets/Prophetesses Prophet S. Ayo Bode now Most Senior Bishop (Prof) S. Ayo Bode (in the Celican fold) had been directed spiritually by the Lord that he was going to be shown the new pastor he had chosen. As Senior Evangelist Bode was in his house one day, a Celestial prophet in spirit drove to his house and told him to follow him. The prophet, though in spirit, drove all the way to Celestial church, Km 7, Ife Oluwatedo Avenue, Ibadan, on the way he requested for a chalk and they got one. When they reached the church premises there was no-one in sight so the prophet went to the door of the shepherd of the parish prophet Adeonigbagbe and wrote the Angelic language “EPASTORAL” which means the Pastor. Also the late prophet Agbaossi ,Celestial Church of Christ,Supreme Headquarters,Cotonou,Benin Republic had sent prophet Jeremiah Adeolu Alabi ( now Most Sup Evang and ,Shepherd,CCC,Majemu Oluwa se parish,Goodness Estate,Arulogun oad,Ojoo,Ibadan) to confirm the divine call of prophet Adeonigbagbe.This was established in a vision seen during a period of 21 days fasting and prayers by prophets in the supreme headquarters.

To get Celica settled on its feet God asked prophet Adeonigbagbe to seal the altar for 3 months and that all members, he inclusive, must revert back to the ordinary sutannah. At the end of this period in one of the visions, a dove which spiritually signifies love, purity, peace and humility brought two leaves, one dried and one fresh, on the fresh leaf, it was written “Celica Church of Christ, the Most Glorious Church of Christ from Heaven. The name of the church was also translated as holiest of the holiest among the Celestial bodies.

On October 28th, 1992 prophet Adeonigbagbe received three visitors spiritually and they (the four of them) went round the church auditorium seven times. These three visitors were Prophet Moses Orimolade Tunolase, Founder, Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, Founder ,Christ Apostolic Church and Rev. Samuel Bilewu Oshoffa, Founder, Celestial Church of Christ all of blessed memory. After going round the church they told prophet Adeonigbagbe they had finished their assignment on earth that it was now his turn and they passed the spiritual baton to him. At the mercy land there was a paralyzed man who had been bedridden for 3 years it was on this day that the Lord healed him as a sign of the divine establishment of the church. The moon also came out with a star in its middle. The star came in and out 7 times before it disappeared.

This was one of the confirmations that he was being sent on a mission by God to the world. The Lord told him his call is divine and that he should open his bible and read Isaiah chapters 60 and 61 for the foundation of his call.
The Lord Jesus Christ told him that during the time of Rev. Oshoffa a song was sung for him “Jesu ti joba (2ce) bi aiye fe bi aiye ko, Jesu ti joba” but that during his own time (Adeonigbagbe) this song will be sung “Kabiyesi, hosanna, eyin Jesu Kristi, Oba aiku, Egbe ga, Eyin Jesu o, Eyin Jesu Kristi, Oba aiku.

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna!

Na wa oh God na you get the heavens and the earth show us your right parth to follow.

This na Naija version of the Conclave

Even satan himself will be suprised at the way we humans behave. What will we not say or do to open a new church? What is this?

@op, please drink responsibly..

Mod for religion, u dey nyt vigil ne?

Hossanah Mimo

Star coming out of the moon seven times . OK, we have heard, I wonder how much was paid for this publicity on Nairaland's frontpage!
#Justsaying

But with the way these prophets and garment people behave one can not help but to continously doubt them. But anyway the end shall tell. Only the righteous shall see God. May his grace abide.

Is a New generation celestial church?

one thing I I like about this church is their women is beautifull

I don't judge anyone but these so called white garment churches are agents of darkness and drink fornication like water and there is no righteousness in them. I don't know the god they worship, but it may not be the God of heaven and earth. Their life styles does not speak of God of heaven, sorry

Na wa oooo, everybody is justifyin d openin of his church. Church here, church there like say na business center dem dey open. C as d so call prophet siddon like say him be king.
Wait, NL don turn to church propagation center ni?

NEW AGE OCCULTISM BEWARE BEWARE

Shebi my Signature said it all, almost all founder see vission to start their church even though some lie about it. All have come with different way of doctrine, it was reveal to him not to say HALLELUYAH again but HOSSANA, this man claim to have been directed by Jesus and holy spirit yet millions of xtian will never worship in his church and bliv their own pastors prophecy.

henryadex: NEW AGE OCCULTISM BEWARE BEWARE

As long as you have been blind and bliv the doctrine you were born into is the best then you are a big fool,never reject any member of other church because even Jesus was not the one that created your church but your G.O

Everybody should worship God the best way he know and stop criticizing other church

Just make sure you worship God that Jesus worship

This one na real occult group. Make una shine una eyes. End time don reach

@lovine

were
ni eee...like say the church wey u dey go na God throw am down from
heaven...when white is devish in your eyes so what will red and black
signify in your blind eyes.

that woman in the last pix gather o!
she must have been something in her younger days

Lovine: I don't judge anyone but these so called white garment churches are agents of darkness and drink fornication like water and there is no righteousness in them. I don't know the god they worship, but it may not be the God of heaven and earth. Their life styles does not speak of God of heaven, sorry

you said you don't want to judge I wonder if you were to judge you will personally take them to the bottomless bit. Let's leave the job to God.

Scarpon: one thing I I like about this church is their women is beautifull

Kilo n se man yi? Because of their semi-transparent clothes abi? and the way the white cloth hugs their behind?

No wonder the women all have to go "labe abo" at one time or the other, with a male prophet being the "prötector"?

@OP, this seems like an African Version of the catholic church, and in my opinion, a very poor and local version at that. That Pulpit/altar decoration could easily pass for shrine things. Una no get correct youngsters with good interior design skills ni?

The cele people are good with Music though. They used to release fantastic albums back in those days. "Jesu yio joba, araye e yoo..., e kede re fun gbogbo agbaye,...."

Prophet indeed

Look at the prophet surrounded by all the fanfare, pomp and pageantry. Compare him to the biblical prophets and the difference is clear.

Chei!!

Lovine: I don't judge anyone but these so called white garment churches are agents of darkness and drink fornication like water and there is no righteousness in them. I don't know the god they worship, but it may not be the God of heaven and earth. Their life styles does not speak of God of heaven, sorry

From my experience, Lovin is right on account of the Bolded. They don't cover up their fornication like other churches. On the other hand, I won't be surprised if the fornication in the "good churches" isn't more than that of the white garment churches.

These days, everyman should know his God for himself and not rely on the church.
