In a powerful and widely circulated message released on Sunday, March 16, 2026, Reverend Pastor Emmanuel Mobiyina Oshoffa (E.M.F. Oshoffa), son of the founder of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), Saint Samuel Bilewu Joseph Oshoffa, has declared that the entire Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide must become ONE BODY with immediate effect.
The statement, titled a divine message from his late father through visions, categorically ends all factions, divisions, and classifications within the church including the long-standing separation between the “Ketu Mainstream” and “Nigeria Diocese” or any other groups.

Reverend Oshoffa said his father, Saint S.B.J. Oshoffa, appeared to him multiple times with a clear, resolute message:
Factions and divisions must cease they are a “blatant desecration of the altar of God” and divide the Body of Christ.
The 1980 Constitution and 2000 amended Constitution (Blue Book) recognize only ONE BODY of the Celestial Church of Christ.
Only five citadels are recognised by the Holy Spirit (in order of spiritual hierarchy):
1.Celestial Church of Christ, Supreme Headquarters, Porto Novo, Republic of Benin.
2.Celestial Church of Christ, National Headquarters, Archdiocese, Makoko, Yaba, Lagos.
3.Celestial Church of Christ, International Headquarters, Ketu, Lagos.
4.Celestial Church of Christ, World Headquarters, Imeko, Ogun State.
5.Regional/Headquarters/Area/District/Zonal Headquarters.

No other headquarters is recognised, All shepherds (pastors) who have not registered their parishes with the above-recognised headquarters must do so within the next SIX MONTHS, All shepherds with already registered parishes are also called to re-register them, Registration is completely FREE; a Certificate of Registration will be issued. A detailed timetable for registration by region and state in Nigeria, and for dioceses in the diaspora, will be released soon.
Imeko remains the sole Annual Convocation Ground for Christmas and other major religious activities. It is also the final resting place of the founder Any attempt to hold the December Convocation elsewhere in Nigeria will invite “the wrath of God.”
Anointment and laying on of hands by individuals without divine approval is strongly discouraged and may bring “frightening divine consequences.” All members and leaders are reminded that past service does not guarantee eternal glory if they allow positions to destroy their salvation (referencing the story of Achan in Joshua 7:18–20). Six months grace is given to hearken to this message before “serious condemnation, punishment, and consequences” befall anyone.

With deep humility, Rev. E.M.F. Oshoffa extended a hand of love and fellowship to all brethren “no matter the faction they belong to” and expressed readiness to welcome everyone back home within the six-month window.
He concluded: “I have taken pains to publish this message for the spiritual benefit of all our members and for the peace and unity of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide… May the Spirit of Our Lord Jesus Christ continue to guide us to achieve the divine injunction of the Holy Spirit that the Celestial Church of Christ is the last vessel that would cleanse the world, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.”
The message has already sparked widespread reactions across CCC parishes worldwide, with many members and shepherds expressing support for unification while others await further clarification and the promised timetable.
