It is a well-known fact that our lack of proper administrative principles and adherence to the fundamental rules given to us as a church has resulted in advantage of individualism in the Church. This has led to a breakdown in the system, with people seeking ranks and positions for themselves, even going as far as appointing themselves as shepherds without proper authorization. Genuine celestial members are aware that your behavior, including your inappropriate girdle attire and disrespectful actions like stepping down from the pulpit during a sermon, are completely unacceptable in the eyes of God.
Alagba Isaac Samuel, it is crucial that you familiarize yourself with the doctrine and values of the Church before addressing the congregation. This will help you understand the importance of honoring Jehovah in Celestial Church of Christ. Your failure to adhere to the doctrinal practices clearly indicates that you joined the ministry at a later stage, skipping the foundational teachings that have impacted your understanding of the Church’s beliefs.
Alagba Isaac Samuel, kindly digest below to guide you and allows you not to mislead your members-
THE SIGNIFICANCE AND EFFICACY OF LOINS(Amure) IN CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST- By VMSE Dr Gbenga Oyeleye
Loin in CCC remains a long one- piece rectangular garment wrapped or girded around the abdomen or belly(not the lower waist) and hung down towards the left side of the thigh Exodus 28:42.
And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
However, for every anointed and certified Celestial Church of Christ member, the loin is a highly spiritual tool meant to perform supernatural tasks according to the will and calling of every individual either as a Porter, prophet, elders, shepherds or pastor. Any CCC anointed members who doesn’t understand the efficacy and spiritual significant of the loin is widely opened to various spiritual attacks and weaknesses.
Meanwhile from history, Loin cloth also known as schenti was first used by the ancient Egyptians as a belt or an outwear to covering their nakedness but scripturally and in accordance with CCC liturgy, Loins are girded as a preparatory sign of strength in readiness for true service and responsibility both in and out of the Lord’s vineyard. That means you can move to anywhere with your loin around you for various evangelical and spiritually guided purposes (Exodus 12:11; 1 Kings 18:46; 2 Kings 4:29; Job 38:3; Proverbs 31:17; Luke 12:35; 1 Peter 1:13)
Hitherto, whenever you tell someone to girdle his/her loin, you are directly telling the person to be prepared for a spiritual assignments and responsibility as we believe that whosoever that has been anointed as loin bearer in CCC must have been empowered by the Holy Spirit with the passion to serve and work tremendously for soul delivering either as a prophet, elder, or Porter disregarding what is obtainable these days because most loins been worn are just a mere piece of cloth without power unlike those days.
Initially, we have only 3 colours of loins given to us in Celestial Church of Christ before it became 6 or more different colours nowadays depending on various pastoral or administrative factions within the church.
The colours for loins given to us through the holy Spirit by the Pastor founder Saint SBJ Oshoffa remains white, Royal/ Deep Blue and Sunset Yellow-
1. White Colour loin represent leadership in purity, Power and authority which is been used by the Porter (with laced blue tape), readers, elders, clergies and shepherd in charge.
2. Blue Colour Loin represent Love, Spiritual directions and gifts of the Holy Spirit for prophetic guidance which is often used by prophets/prophetess.
3. Yellow Colour Loin represent God’s health with strength in knowledge and teaching which is often used by female Porters (Adena)
Furthermore, the white colour of the loins which bears altar design belongs to the elders in the altar who’s believed to have been empowered with God’s authority and an exemplary lifestyle of good leadership in purity because they are always closer to the altar. Reasons why an altar embodiment is been craved into their loin at certain ranks.
The Royal blue colours are majorly used by men and women that’s called and anointed into the prophetic office as light bearer of the church gifted with the ability to see visions, hear angelic voices, decode hidden mysteries and prophesy through the leading of the Holy Spirit and not by self will or psychological approach.
The Sunset yellow Colour are separated for women whose responsibility is to mount the door post against spiritual forces that brings sickness and weaknesses into the fold. They are to pray and heal the sick while strengthening and enforcing the church doctrines especially on new converts with love. They are also empowered to teach, impact and spread the good news to the world at large.
Proverbs 31:17
She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
Meanwhile, other colours of Loins seen today include: Pink, purple, Gold, tortoise blue, brown etc but they are powerless, meaningless and insignificant because it was fashioned out of the man’s thinking and ideology.
Moreover, Loins are of different categories.
The first category is the beginners level where one cross is been inscribed on the loin and are often called Porters, Readers or prophets depending on their departments of calling.
First ranked loins are always powerful and spiritually filled when been used steadily because it carries strength, power and might. It is a beginner’s loin and most of the bearers are often dedicated to God’s work earlier before they begin to rise up to other ranks that makes them become lazy in spirit and not approachable anymore which should not have been the case because the higher you move in rank, the better your spiritual level, strength and empowerment in Christ Jesus for higher responsibility and not to see other lower cadres as slaves. However if you notice carefully, most of our elders in this fold do not throw away their first loin because it is superlatively active a always. Find out.
Job 40:16
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
The second category is the Leadership level where a loin is been attached with frills(iko). At this level, it is expected of such individuals to take leadership roles within their various units or departments displaying exemplary lifestyle in Christ, teaching the people and contributing immensely to the growth and development of the church as been led by the Holy Spirit.
The third category are the Administrative level. This is where you see most of the altar elders including the shepherd in charge. Their loins is further embedded with an altar design at the center which signifies authority, direction and representation as ambassadors of Christ.
There are some doctrinal teachings about loins that I want to emphasize here.
1. It is important to know that the 3 colours of loins explained above must always be available in the altar and should be used only for spiritual assignments upon the Shepherd’s approval. On no occasion should any prophet or Prophetess remove someone’s loin during service for body cleansing. It is spiritually wrong and risky.
2. Newly made Loins must initially be sanctified with specific perfumes and kept in the altar for at least 3 days before use. Recommended perfumes should be Holy Michael, 777 or Miss paris- (Nahum 2 vs 1).
3. At least once in a year, it is always advisable to submit used loins for re-sanctification and revitalization which must be handled by the shepherd in charge.
4. Loins can heal the sick just as the apron of Paul but when it is stained, abandoned and misused, it becomes powerless, useless and insignificant.
5. Loin should not be shared. It is a personal tools for service delivery.
6. Loin also acts as a protective tool when it is properly sanctified in accordance to CCC sanctification procedure. It could be placed inside the car, house entrance, shops, on a cross or as directed by the Holy Spirit against spiritual attacks, arrow, sickness etc.
7. Loin can be tied around the head with fervent prayers whenever someone is sick as relating to the brain. It could also be used whenever you noticed that dreams revealed during sleeping hours is been forgotten regularly.
8. It is compulsory to girdle your loin whenever you are coming to church especially during various devotional services. That’s how and where it is been filled with powers not by hanging it at home or keeping it in wardrobes.
