It is a fact that Celestial Church of Christ is blessed with individuals whose professional backgrounds, experiences and values have continued to contribute to the growth and development of the church. Despite the internal leadership challenges confronting the church, its spiritual foundation, established through divine instruction, continues to inspire members to uphold the mandate of our Lord Jesus Christ and the promises given to the Pastor Founder.
Over the years, the church has witnessed the presence and active participation of military personnel who have remained committed to the Christian faith while discharging their professional responsibilities. Their involvement demonstrates that service to humanity and commitment to God’s work can complement one another.
One of such individuals is Officer Ola Blessing, a serving military officer under the Nigerian Army and an active worker in Celestial Church of Christ. Beyond her professional responsibilities in the military, she has continued to demonstrate her commitment to the work of God through her participation in church activities.
At the 56th Adult Harvest Thanksgiving Service of CCC Agunloye Cathedral, Akure, Ondo State, Officer Ola Blessing took on a different responsibility as she served as the Service Conductor, leading the congregation through the proceedings of the thanksgiving celebration.
Her appearance in this capacity presents an interesting reflection of an individual whose professional calling in the military does not prevent her from making herself available for service in the vineyard of God.
Indeed, the story of Officer Ola Blessing reminds the church that the gifts, discipline, leadership qualities and experiences acquired in different professional fields can also be channelled towards the advancement of God’s kingdom.
From military uniform to the altar of service, her participation at the harvest thanksgiving celebration offers another reminder that serving God is a responsibility that transcends professional titles and occupations.
