The doctrinal practice of our Church was strictly monitored through the host of angels, the church enjoy the grace of divine mercy in every aspect with the provision of connection to unlimited restitution through God's Grace. The Pastor Founder believed in the instructions given to him when he received the assignment in 1947.
Those who adopted the tutelage of Rev Prophet SBJ Oshoffa stood on the timeline of the Church laws with the knowledge of the holy spirit. The Church was everything to them, the first set of Shepherds in the Church understood the rudiments of doctrinal practice. None of them introduced their personal view(s) to the Church.
One of the doctrinal practice of our Church is the Anointment exercise which members pay for the exercises in order to be elevated to various ranks. It is a fact that the current system of Anointment does not have the foundational base introduced by the Pastor Founder & followed by Late Rev A.A. Bada. We are at a state where money connection and collection determine the exercise to favor some elements who have the financial means over others.
There was a debate over abuse of the Church doctrinal practice from Prophet Hamilton who held a cross over service in a rented hall with members of his ministry, the act generated tension and argument among members who felt unsatisfied with the action by Prophet Hamilton acting against the basic ordinance of the Church. Rather than correct the negative impression observed; Prophet Hamilton sustained his philosophy by practicing without any caution from the Church authority.
In the just concluded anointment exercise held at the Church World Headquarters, it was recorded that Prophet Hamilton registered 21 members from his ministry for Anointment exercise while he also held Investiture Ceremony on the 25th of June 2023 for the 21 members at the venue of his ministry meeting. To further legitimize the anti doctrine by Prophet Hamilton, the Spokesperson of the Church, in person of Sup Evang Kayode Ajala was at the Investiture Ceremony while he also delivered sermon during the “service”
The questions are-
1) Can a ministry register their members for Anointment exercise?
2) Has Ketu commence the registration of ministry as a parish?
3) Prophet Hamilton said in January 2023 that his ministry only meet between 8am to 10am on Sundays, then what time does the Investiture Ceremony took place?
4) Can ministry without the altar hold Investiture Ceremony?
The administrative battle engaged in by Rev EMF Oshoffa has birthed jacarl in human form as staff working with him. Because the Pastor is unable to identify thousands of members who he has anointed; while he can not monitor the activities of parishes & “ministries” under his watch.
In the same vein, another staff who thinks he's untouchable tactically hijacked the Music department of the Church with his over zealous attitude, V/S/E John Itunu Oshin who is also a member of the Central Choir displayed his dissatisfaction for the Music Director of the Church in person of Sup/Evang Dr Rotimi Olaosebikan on the affair of the Central Choir.
Immediately after the demise of AVSE Adetiran, the founder & first Music Director of the Church, the battle over who to supritend over the Music department started between close associates in the Central Choir over executive list. It was reported to the Pastor for settlement with the instinct to base all aggrieved parties into one accord, the Pastor mandated an Adoc- Committee from both parties to facilitate a friendly reconciliatory process toward restoring the Central Choir.
The documents submitted to V/S/E Prof Adeniyi (Head of Administration) through the Adoc-Committee only shoulder one of the aggrieved party while the other party was kept out of the loop. To further extend his sole AUTHORITY been a senior staff in the Pastor's Office, John Itunu Oshin & few others introduced a Directorate of Music Department to oversee the Office of the Music Director of the Church.
John Itunu Oshin & few others changed our Church structure to Federal Government parastatal with the provision of DIRECTOR GENERAL to the Church Music. The Kangoroo Committee constituted by John Itunu Oshin as DG & DDG. First of it's kind in the history of the Church Music. Presently, the Kangoroo Committee has not named the DG & DDG of Directorate of Music after all the failed plan to create a parallel circuit in the Central Choir.
The questions to ask John Itunu Oshin are-
1) It was claimed that the Pastor approved the establishment of Directorate of Music, then why did the Pastor refused to appoint a Director General & Deputy Director General?
2) Can a Music Instructor like Associate Professor Faseun be superior to an organist who is also a Professor in Musicologist?
3) Can someone who can’t play any musical instruments be an instructor to someone who plays musical instruments?
The moment we realize that proper assessment of administration should be the guiding principle in our church, then the Church will move to her position. The Pastor will experience lack of human loyalty due to the circumstance known to us. Presently, the Pastor will be visiting United States of America (USA) & United Kingdom (UK) respectfully with loads of internal crisis awaiting the Pastor's attention while members of the Pastor's Office have files of crisis for the Pastor whenever he returns Nigeria.
It is not suprising that some people would just write anything on the internet to suit their narrative. If will continue to dwell on sentiment and politicking we will definite not go far and we will not be able to uphold the standard for the upcoming generation. The truth will probably reveal itself soonest.
ReplyDeleteN.B my resoonse is in resepect to the Music Director Saga
The church will continue to experience thisadministrative defect as a result of disobedience and lies against the doctrine and instructions of the Founder SBJ Oshoffa. We will experienceore of this because we negated from the primary mission of the church as a church descended by the blood of Jesus through a carpenter who went for an orientation inside the bush to be taught heavenly worship on earth .
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a redemption church to cleanse thy world with heavenly worship . Unfortunately devil penetrated after the death of the Pastor Founder through our elders to lie and deceive the worshippers . Devil penetrated through the leadership to create confusion and decieve the worshipers with falsehood doctrines , power obsession , monetary gains and false shepherds .
The good news is , God's purpose for Celestial church of Christ can never change but the plans has changed from the originality. Those leaders out there are not kingdom partners rather devil's tools towards distabilisation of kingdom's project on earth in which Celestial church of Christ is the mandate.
To the author of this piece ☝️. Just few corrections. (1) Your insinuation about the foundation of CCC Central Choir W/W structure played out by you claiming that late V/S/E Adetiran is the "founder" erroneous.
ReplyDelete(2) The fact remains that, The CCC Director of Music has never been the head of CCC Central Choir W/W, it's only those that are in darkness of the situation on ground believed what you believe.
(3) The fact and the truth is: Supreme Olu Ogunsanya is the First and the Legitimate head of CCC Central Choir W/W before the breakdown of principles. He's still alive, go and interview him.
(4) Before Adetiran died (may his soul rest in peace) several meetings were held with him to see to mend fences with other stakeholders who are well established names in Celestial Church of Christ in Nigeria, big names in Religious music. (eventhough about half of them have gone to rest now. May their SOULS rest in peace) Meetings were held up until when Adetiran's health turned otherwise.
This situation brings to mind a wonderful composition that says "Eni to serere ta nsepe fun ateni to nsebi ta ngbadura fun gbogbo e o ye Olorun"
The book of 1st Thessalonians 5:21 just a food for thought.
All these boils down to leadership failure to be candid how many youth or choir know about all these stories and those that know how vibrant and relevant were they till Baba Adeitran left this sinful world?
ReplyDeleteWhen Pastor ratified the appointment of Rotimi Olaosebikan as the Musical Director CCC Central choir what were his key responsibilities and how come we are intentionally creating parallel system which will be counter productive to the growth of the celestial choir world wide and also not enable him function effectively? Sorry I will never support or be identified with administrative malady borne out of obsession and greed.
Yes , I am aware of underground reconciliation and unifying the structure for effectiveness and development of music in celestial church of Christ. Baba Adeitran still had that discussion with me then while we were having Imeko Central Working committee meeting at Agidingbi . That was the man only recognised then during any of these convocation and he has set up a succession plan communicated to the pastor before his demise and that was what the Pastor ratified. Why all these misbehaviour and manipulation borne out of ambition and this recent national slogan " Emilokan "
What I expected after the demise of Baba Adeitran was for the Pastor and unregistered BOT to quickly get to the Pastor In council to set up an ad-hoc committee bringing all stakeholders together and revisit those issues with a guideline templates such as ;
1. Create organogram that will define a clear reporting line and decentralisation of the entire system from the top
downline.
2. Collapse both Musical Directorate and Central choir into one body .
3. Review key responsibilities of theset up a fresh job description for them in
line with reality .
4.Set up an Advisory board or review existing ones to be in charge of further
supervision of the Central choir .
5. Design and communicate vission mission and core objectives for them to be guided.
6. Give them a law book design and approved by the Pastor and his BOT .
With this ,I don't think there will be an issue of this nature .
Pastor is actually the one creating all
these from my own little understanding because why on earth I will be a leader , then all units under me will having one issue or the other regarding leadership both local and international. Then I need to check myself either am obsessed with power and not comfortable with a define structure or I have trust issue Which makes me not to do the right thing
You gave letter to Olaosebikan as the Musical Director,with a key responsibilities for future appraisal and some other factions came up with a program in Musical development of the church without his consent and approval and you pastor endorsed it ..then sorry there is something wrong there let us not be too far from speaking the truth to our conscience .
I will never support having two separate systems performing same or similar functions .
I have said it earlier ...God only established the church through SBJ Oshoffa as his messenger to teach the world heavenly worship on earth " oba a seyi owu" he does as he likes ..He did not teach or guide us administratively and that's the essence we are having all these Shenanigans all over especially at the highest level of leadership which is so appauling to me . Nowonder I never blamed Baba Oshoffa that refused to name successor and was thankful to God for accomplishemment of his mission towards his last sojourn on earth .
And after his demise lies and falsehood took charge through devil using his Agents they called themselves Prophets to manipulate God's ordnances and long term goal for the church .I will repeat myself here again ...his purpose for the church remains and it'sreally spreading fast with another plans towards implementing his purpose .
Dear Brother Chris (sorry I don't know your rank) All your 6 points are the exact policy embarked on under this Directorate of Music agenda.
ReplyDeleteEverything you wrote are spelled out in the oganogram per individual officer's jod description, with Rotimi as the Director of Music.
Let it be on record that it is him (Rotimi) that because of his selfish interests crying about that he's position is being threatened. He wants to be the Secretary, Treasurer, PRO going around lobbying for shows and getting the checks/money meant for those hard working Choristers that are performing and keeping the funds in his personal account without anyone asking or cross-checking him (we don't want to wash our dirty linens outside)
He (Rotimi) doesn't like the Pastor's new initiative because he wouldn't have access to CCC Central Choir W/W funds as his meal ticket anymore so as long as he can't face the Pastor directly he chose to blackmail the people that try to eradicate his forte.
God Almighty will enlighten everyone's mind to see what is on the table.
