The Celestial Church of Christ is one spiritual, worldwide, united indivisible Holy Church.  The Church derives its origination through an amended Constitution of Celestial Church of Christ, which was inaugurated on the 29th of March 1980 as “CONSTITUTION OF CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST (NIGERIA DIOCESE)” by the Pastor Prophet and Founder of Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide, Reverend SAMUEL BILEWU JOSEPH OSHOFFA of blessed memory, following the registration of Celestial Church of Christ in the Federal Republic of Nigeria as “CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST MAKOKO VILLAGE YABA” under the Land (Perpetual Succession) Ordinance CAP 107 of the Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the 24th November 1958, Registration Certificate Number 489.

Though some claimed that the Church was earlier registered in Republique du' Benin (Republic of Benin [formerly DAHOMEY]), what they forgot to realize is that the Founder himself was the incorporator of "CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST MAKOKO VILLAGE YABA", which was never an amendment to the Benin registration nor a foreign registration of the Benin incorporation.  The Founder, Reverend SAMUEL BILEWU JOSEPH OSHOFFA of blessed memory, did not personally renewed and/or file annual report, which results to voluntary dissolution of the Benin registration or should be.

There was no sanctioned registration of the Church as it should legally represent the Church Mission as handed down by the founder, Reverend SAMUEL BILEWU JOSEPH OSHOFFA of blessed memory, that the Church shall bear one registration and one constitution in every countries of the world, until the registration of the “CONSTITUTION OF CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST USA DIOCESE and CCC USA CENTRAL CONTROL & REGULATORY MISSION, INC.”” in November 2, 1992 document number N92000000088 and later amended as “CONSTITUTION OF CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST DIOCESE OF THE AMERICAS and CCC WORLDWIDE CENTRAL CONTROL & REGULATORY MISSION, INC.” in June 20th, 2002, document number 92000000088.

The United States registration of the Church, which shall subsequently be registered in every countries of the world as foreign corporation will establish the oneness and central registration of the Church worldwide.

With the registration of the Nigeria Diocese in force, there should not have been any one claiming to be a faction of the Celestial Church of Christ if the Authority of the Church understands the premises for which all Churches must operate and be governed.  The lack of knowledge by the Registered Board of Trustees of the Nigeria Diocese and their immense incompetence became costly impediment for the unity of the Church Worldwide.  That in itself does not necessarily mean that there should be factions in the Church, anyone claiming to be Jesse/Maforikon, Owodunni or Agbaosi factions or any other faction are doing so out of ignorance and lack of knowledge, and more so, an enemy of unity and progress for the Church.

This raises the question about the move by the USA CCC Diocese of the Americas’ stepping forward to redirect the plight of the Church worldwide.  The “CONSTITUTION OF CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST DIOCESE OF THE AMERICAS and CCC WORLDWIDE CENTRAL CONTROL & REGULATORY MISSION, INC.” derives its existence from the “CONSTITUTION OF CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST (NIGERIA DIOCESE)”, the original registration executed by the Founder, Reverend SAMUEL BILEWU JOSEPH OSHOFFA of blessed memory.  The USA CCC Constitution was duly executed and signed by Reverend, Pastor Alexander Abiodun Bada; Reverend, Pastor Phillip Honsu Ajose; Superior Evangelist Samuel O. Ajanlekoko; Superior Evangelist Olayinka Afolabi Adefeso; Superior Evangelist Oluremi Olusoga Ogunlesi; Superior Evangelist Samson Olatunde Banjo; Superior Evangelist Solomon Osobukunola Sogbetun and Reverend, Prophet G. Bolanle Shonekan (Administrator & Supreme Head, CCC Worldwide).

The move by Reverend G. Bolanle Shonekan (Administrator & Supreme Head, CCC Worldwide) in taking over the responsibility as the prescribed OFFICIAL AUTHORITY of the Church's worldwide organization and regulatory concerns, came by way of executing the power so vested in him by the duly executed RESOLUTION of the Board, dated June 03, 2002 and re-affirmed by a second RESOLUTION, dated November 12, 2002 to take every possible step in moving the Church forward.

Reverend G. Bolanle Shonekan (Administrator & Supreme Head, CCC Worldwide) will demand a retirement of Reverend Emmanuel Oshoffa with severance-benefit package, and have reassigned the responsibility of Superior Evangelist Olayinka Afolabi Adefeso; Superior Evangelist Josiah K. Owodunni; Superior Evangelist Oluremi Olusoga Ogunlesi and Superior Evangelist Samson Olatunde Banjo as Ex-Officio Members of the Board of Trustees, they shall remain within the context of the responsibilities as to that position.  Reverend Shonekan, has also suggested recommendation of the following Elders, Superior Evangelist Solomon O. Sogbetun; Superior Evangelist Louis Akeble Zagadou; Superior Evangelist Patrice Aworodema; Most Senior Evangelist R. O. Adewusi; Most Senior Evangelist F. Daramola; Most Senior Evangelist Ekundayo B. Opaleye; Most Senior Evangelist V. B. Williams; Most Senior Evangelist Bola Ajibike; Most Senior Evangelist J. O. Ogunremi; Most Senior Evangelist C. Oluremi Jacob; Most Senior Evangelist Afolahan; Most Senior Evangelist Demola Haastrup; Most Senior Evangelist Jorotom Omotoso; Most Senior Evangelist John Omachonu; Most Senior Evangelist C. T. Milton Job and Most Senior Evangelist E. K. Okaisabor for consideration as members of the Board of Trustees and Pastor-In-Council for Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide.  Members of the Council-of-Elders, a parallel authority to the Board of Trustees will soon be announced.
