This piece was inspired by a tweet I
bumped into. The tweet was by ‘Kennedy Tareotu’ and in the tweet, he stated his
intention to write a book about the Rise and Fall of Celestial Church. I paused
and thought to myself ‘Has Celestial Church of Christ Fallen?’ Well, from my
slightly biased point of view, I will not agree that the church has fallen;
I’ll rather say the church is on the verge of rising once again. I mean this
church still has the likes of our father: Rev. Paul Maforikan, Evang. Gabriel
Evans, Pro. Adebukola Anjorin, Evang. Tunde Olayiwola, and a whole lot of other
anointed men and also, vibrant youths like Bimbo Osunniyi who can easily shine
on any Christian stage anywhere in the world.
Kennedy Tareotu asked for my opinion on how
the church could be made better, but if I should base my response solely on
that premise, I will have admitted that the church has fallen indeed, hence my
resolution to analyze the present situation of the Celestial church of Christ.
