The official flag-off of the 50th Anniversary and Adult Harvest Thanksgiving of Celestial Church of Christ will forever be etched in the annals of our Church.

Amidst the joyous atmosphere, M/S/E Banjo picked the Celestial flag as his preferred choice. With a mischievous grin, he jokingly chided M/S/E Nunayon for not attending the harvest of CCC Agidingbi last year.

Moving forward, M/S/E Banjo proudly proclaimed that if Papa Oshoffa himself could declare that his children are his brothers and sisters, while his wives are his elder siblings, and members of the Church are his true offspring, then it is undeniable that his the FIRST CHILD OF PAPA SBJ OSHOFFA PRESENTLY.
M/S/E Banjo recounted the remarkable events that unfolded during the CCC Makoko National Headquarters Harvest, particularly when Prophetess Edith Oshoffa was invited to dance. In that moment, she affectionately referred to M/S/E Nunayon as her brother, while she respectfully addressed him as her father.
With unwavering dedication, M/S/E Banjo vowed to never abandon the Church for any reason, as he proudly stands as the present first son of the Pastor Founder.
