HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Our Great Father in the Lord, Papa Oshoffa gave us all the greatest gift any human could give another person: He believed in the mission and Vision of Celestial Church Of Christ and then passed to us that we may benefit from the grace and gain the kingdom of God." - @SheunElijah __ #weintheccc #omocele #fathersday #papaoshoffa #oshoffa #father #fathers #dad #dadsquote #fathersquotes #fatheroftheday #fatherinthelord #sundaymotivation #quote #quoteoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsn9Rmhacf/?igshid=1mwidyfcoyz0j

SHOCKING THINGS MY FATHER TOLD ME ABOUT CELESTIAL CHURCH - Sup Evang Matthew Olatosho Oshoffa (TMO) (Q) Can you please tell us more about your father, Prophet SBJ Oshoffa and his background? First of all, my name is Sup. Evangelist Matthew Olatosho Oshoffa and by the grace of God, I am one of the biological children of the founder of the great C.C.C. St. Samuel Bilewu Joseph Oshoffa, who happened to be the only son of his father. His father was Joseph Oshoffa Ojopola, from Ojopolo lineage in Owu Abeokuta. His father was sold as a slave to Dahomey which is now Benin Republic. The day he was to be resolved to a new Master, he became so weak and sick and the new master couldn’t take him with him instead he paid for his freedom to the old masters. So my grandfather ended up in the family of “Tanimowo”. When my grandfather got married, he started having children, but every male child dies before the Christening. One day, he met a woman that came from imeko. Imeko happened to be the Headquarters of Church in Ogun State, Yewa. The woman came to trade in Port Novo, where she met my grandfather. When it got to the level of getting married, my grandfather told her how all his male children dies at birth and he made a promise to her that, if you can give me a male child and he doesn’t die like that others do, the child will do the work of God. Fortunately, my grandmother became pregnant and she gave birth to a male child after the fourth day, my grandfather was so happy and he went to his neigbours and told them that, you all know that all the male child I give birth dies immediately after birth, but today is the fourth day my wife gave birth to a son and nothing happened to him. He further told them that, if the male child should remain alive, he would call on his Pastors to come and name him. On the 8th day, the Pastors from his church, Methodist Church came and a proper naming ceremony was held. During the ceremony, the Pastor named the child Samuel. But as a Yoruba man my grandfather was, they named his son Bi ile aye ba wun o, ko gbe, Bi orun ba wun, o tete pada lo bi awon ti saju which means. (If you....)

Today, SEPT 10, we remember our PASTOR/FOUNDER - REV. S.B.J OSHOFFA ; The Earth quaked in exclamation, the stars blinked to refocus, the sea water rose in disbelief, the birds sang a dirge in sympathy, while the seismic vibrations of these rumblings ricocheted against the wailing walls of the Celestial world. The journey into the world beyond began for Oschoffa on September 1, 1985. He was on his way to Ibadan Army Barracks C.C.C. parish harvest. His car, driven by Espedit, an experienced driver, was only about seventeen kilometres from Ibadan. It was speeding along when suddenly one of the tires exploded. The car skidded and somersaulted about four times before landing in the bush. Oschoffa escaped death but was half conscious and dazed. The unconscious pastor and his bleeding driver were driven back to Lagos for quick treatment at Labi's Hospital, Ilupeju. Everybody sighed in relief, happy that the worst was over for the pastor-founder after his miraculous escape. His great escape from this fatal accident in which two of his dear aides died on the spot helped to boost the myth of immortality surrounding him especially among his followers and most Nigerians. As Newswatch put it, In the early hours of September 10, 1985, in an ironic twist of fate, death struck. The pastor-founder, one of the greatest Nigerians of our age, quietly breathed his last on a chair at First Shadrach Hospital, Ilupeju, having been certified fit by doctors who were putting finishing touches to his release on hearing that his entourage have been dead and buried and doesn't want to be blamed he used them in restoring his life back. The remains of the pastor-founder, Pa S. B. J. Oschoffa were finally laid to rest on Saturday, October 10, 1985, in his mother's hometown, Imeko, the Celestial City, amidst pomp and pageantry, mourning and thanksgiving.

PAPA LIVES ON.!!!⠀ On his final day on earth, 10th of September, 1985, Oschoffa prayed early in the morning with some of the nurses on duty. After the prayers, he sank into his chair with his massive six-foot frame and as he leaned on the back rest, he clasped his hands in prayer mood. It was in that position that he died, some even thought he was meditating but Oschoffa was already gone.⠀ ⠀ At his last moments on earth, it was clear that he was expecting the end and he prepared himself for it. He told sympathizers and relatives at his bedside: Jesus Christ died, He was only 33 and Why shouldn't I die? I'm 76. The hour has come⠀ for me to be sacrificed. The time is here for me to leave this life. I have done my best in this race.⠀ ⠀ Join us as we commemorate the 34th year remembrance of our patriarch REV.
