In a radiant display of faith, gratitude, and divine celebration, Celestial Church of Christ, First Born Prophetic Cathedral International (Zonal Headquarters), located at 3, First Born Avenue, Land of Milk & Honey, Km 10, Ohoghobi Bus Stop, Sapele Road, Benin City, Edo State, is set to hold her 10th Annual Adult Harvest Thanksgiving Service themed “Jehovah Nissi” The Lord is My Banner (Exodus 17:15).
Under the visionary of Venerable Superior Evangelist Prophet Marvis Audu, the parish has grown into a citadel of prayer, deliverance, and prophetic grace. Over the years, this great house of God has become a beacon of hope to many — restoring lives, empowering families, and drawing souls closer to Christ through undiluted Word and worship. The 2025 Harvest Celebration marks yet another milestone in this journey of grace and spiritual victory.
A WEEK OF DIVINE ENCOUNTERS
The week-long harvest celebration begins on Monday, 24th November 2025, with a powerful Symposium of Harvest and Revival, anchored by Superior Evangelist Adeyemi. This spirit-filled evening promises to ignite hearts in worship and usher in total deliverance from every satanic bondage. It is expected to be an atmosphere where chains will break and testimonies will abound — a true spiritual launch into the banner of Jehovah Nissi. (Time: 4:00 PM).
(VICTORY HOUR)
On Tuesday, 25th November 2025, the faithful will gather for the Victory Hour — a symbolic moment recalling how Aaron and Hur lifted Moses’ hands, resulting in triumph for Israel. As attendees lift one another in faith and prayer, victory is assured in every area of life. (Time: 10:00 AM)
Later that day, by 12 noon, the Women Engagement Program unfolds with the inspiring theme “Women of Faith.” The event will feature soul-lifting sessions on culture, health, and empowerment — with an emphasis on widows’ welfare. Esteemed speakers such as Mother Celestial Edogiaweria, Prophetess Onome Pedro, and Prophetess Rita Osawaru will grace the occasion, reminding women that faith is the true ornament of godly strength.

By Wednesday, 26th November 2025, hearts will gather for the Mercy Service at 9:00 AM, a sacred moment to seek divine compassion and renewal. Immediately following will be the Youth Time-Out at 11:00 AM, where the young generation will engage in an inspiring and educative atmosphere, proving once again that the future of the Church is bright and anchored in purpose.

VOICES OF PRAISE AND AWARD NIGHT
The celebration intensifies on Friday, 28th November 2025, as the Voice of Jehovah Nissi resounds through the cathedral with a spectacular Gospel Musical and Award Night. Renowned gospel ministers such as Da Royals, Ayo Daniel (Okiki), Bayo Ade, Baba Zion, Prophetess Genesis, Da Silva Entertainment, and a special appearance by AVSE Ayo Pedro will fill the night with heavenly melodies. (Time: 10:00 AM till dawn)
SANITATION AND VISITATION
Saturday, 29th November 2025, is set aside for a community outreach, beginning with an environmental sanitation exercise and a visitation to the less privileged at 8:00 AM. In line with the essence of Jehovah Nissi, the parish extends love beyond the altar, showing that true worship reflects in compassion.
THE GRAND FINALE: Jehovah Nissi Thanksgiving Service
Finally, on Sunday, 30th November 2025, the entire parish family, friends, and well-wishers will gather in royal garments of praise for the 10th Adult Harvest Thanksgiving Service. It will be a glorious conclusion, a feast of songs, testimonies, and spiritual jubilation.
As VSE Prophet Marvis Audu aptly declares, “Jehovah Nissi is not just a theme — it is our testimony. The Lord has fought our battles, raised our banner high, and given us peace in every side.”
Indeed, this 10th Harvest is more than an event — it is a declaration that God remains the Banner of Victory over His people. From revival to thanksgiving, the week stands as a reflection of faith, unity, and divine triumph.
As CCC First Born Prophetic Cathedral International celebrates Jehovah Nissi 2025, the echo of victory resounds across Benin City and beyond. Every program, every song, every moment proclaims that the Lord still reigns in glory. Through worship, service, and community love, the parish continues to uphold the banner of Christ, the everlasting sign that “The Lord is our Banner”, and under His shadow, we are forever victorious.
