“Please, Run Away From Them,” CCC Council Of Prophets Chairman Speaks On Those Charging For Consultation
warning that such acts are responsible for the rise of fake prophecies
The Chairman of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide Prophets and Prophetesses Council, Venerable Superior Evangelist (Prophet) Gabriel Jerry, has condemned what he described as fraudulent practices by some prophets and prophetesses, warning that such acts are responsible for the rise of fake prophecies within and outside the church.
Prophet Jerry’s reaction follows a viral advert clip circulating on social media in which an unidentified prophetess reportedly invited individuals with spiritual challenges to seek consultation for a fee of N5,000.
The video, which surfaced on Monday, has sparked widespread outrage among members of the Celestial Church of Christ globally, with many describing the development as a reflection of deep-seated challenges within the church.
Responding via a post on the council’s official Facebook page, Chairman of the council of prophets distanced the church’s prophetic body from such practices, insisting that any prophet or prophetess who demands payment for spiritual consultation does not represent the values or doctrine of the church.
“Any prophet or prophetess that charges you for spiritual consultation is not a true prophet of God. They are not part of us in the Celestial Church of Christ Prophets and Prophetesses Council. They are from the pit of hell,” Prophet Jerry declared.
He further urged members of the public to be cautious and avoid individuals who exploit spiritual vulnerabilities for financial gain.
“A true Celestial Church of Christ Prophet or Prophetess will solve your spiritual problems. Anyone adding to your problems either by asking you for money or employing diabolical means are not part of us. Please, run away from them,” the Venerable Superior Evangelist added.
The statement comes amid growing concerns about the proliferation of self-acclaimed spiritual leaders and monetised prophecy, a trend many observers say continues to erode public trust in religious institutions.
