retired the unconstitutionally or neither spiritually

will now wanted to be called, on December 27th, 2003
through the power so vested in him by
a duly executed

Christ Worldwide, while all the individual regional Pastors
appointed by Papa Agbaossi, the self proclaimed Pastors in the
names of Emmanuel Mobiyino Oshoffa, Paul Maforikan, S. E.
Orovboni and Josiah Kayode Owodunni shall be Appstles.
Other positions such as Supreme Evangelists that sounded
meaningless shall be converted to Assistant Apostles for those
duly anointed as such and accepted by Pastor Shonekan.
The Pastor
urge every member to honor and respect the GREAT SERVICES
provided by those elders in the past and future responsibilities
as it may from time to time be expected of them for the
sake of unity and oneness in Celestial Church of
Christ. May GOD bless the Pastor, the Holy Celestial Church of
Christ, Nigeria and the World at large, Amen.
