Why Pastor Emmanuel Oshoffa Picked 9 Men Of God To Run CCC Worldwide Affairs In His Absence

​Ahead of an extensive international pastoral working tour across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, the Pastor and Spiritual Head of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, His Eminence, Reverend E.M.F Oshoffa, has officially delegated administrative and spiritual powers to a nine-member committee drawn from the senior clergy cadre of the fold to oversee church affairs in his absence.

​The strategic leadership decision was communicated via an official memo with reference number CCC/EMF/PO-PD/AD-05/08-26, dated 8th August 2026, wherein His Eminence named Most Superior Evangelist S.I Akindoyin, Assistant Most Superior Evangelist G. Jerry, Assistant Most Superior Evangelist A. Okanlawon, Assistant Most Superior Evangelist S. Kuti, and Assistant Most Superior Evangelist O. Olajide among the senior leaders entrusted with the mandate.

​Also named to the high-level administrative team are Assistant Most Superior Evangelist Afis Kiki, Assistant Most Superior Evangelist E.O Bilesanmi, Assistant Most Superior Evangelist J. Olabode, and Venerable Superior Evangelist Olatosho Oshoffa, all assigned to ensure operational continuity across the church’s global network before the cleric’s departure for the 2026 pastoral working tour.

​Defining the precise boundaries of their operational mandate, Reverend Oshoffa outlined their responsibilities in explicit terms, writing, “In this capacity, you are authorised to and resolve disputes arising in parishes, districts, areas, zones and regions, that require urgent administrative attention. However, where any is of a highly sensitive or critical nature requiring my direct intervention, you shall counsel the parties involved to exercise patience and maintain peace until my return to the country.”

​Setting a firm standard of discipline for the appointed clerics during his working visit abroad, the spiritual head instructed them to act in strict compliance with the established order of the fold, stating, “You are expected to discharge this responsibility with utmost commitment to the call of duty, in strict adherence to the constitution, doctrines, and administrative policies of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide.”

​Reverend Oshoffa concluded his pastoral directive to the nine representatives with a prayer for their stewardship, declaring, “May Almighty God grant you wisdom, understanding, and divine guidance as you faithfully carry out this responsibility,” as officially confirmed by the Head of Media and Publicity of CCC Worldwide, Assistant Venerable Superior Evangelist Kayode Ajala.
