Olatosho Oshoffa, the 20th child of Bilewu Oshoffa, the founder of Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), Worldwide and the shepherd of the church’s International Headquarters in the Ketu area of l Lagos State, has addressed critics of his late father, saying God is not against polygamy.
Olatosho made this disclosure during an exclusive interview with Punch, where he reiterated that the CCC Founder left behind 13 wives and 53 children.
Revealing that he, alongside other late Oshoffa children all live in love, Olatosho stated that every prophet in the Bible has more than a wife.
“Tell me if there’s anywhere in the Bible, where a prophet of God had only one wife?” Olatosho said as he challenged the critics of the CCC founder, “If God were to judge by the number of wives, my father would have been the first to be disqualified as the founder of CCC, because he already hadhas three wives before God called him. Yet, he was given the mission to found CCC Worldwide.”
“I am sure in 1947, if there was a better candidate to found CCC, Oshoffa wouldn’t have been chosen. But because there wasn’t a better candidate, he was the only one that God found worthy to found CCC, despite having three wives. So those condemning my father should know that he never had any concubine. He married them (his wives) and they were all under his roof. But today, the so-called men of God with only one wife will have concubines outside. Which one is better?” He queried.
Omotosho also revealed s that contrary to what many people think of CCC, the white garment church is not part of any occultic act. According to him, occultism is openly denounced during the church’s weekly services worldwide.
While revealing that CCC would be 76 years later this year, the shepherd of CCC International Headquarters, Ketu, 39 years since the founder of the church died..
“I am very proud of CCC, and till my last breath, I will remain a member of the church. This is because what is not possible in other places is possible in CCC as it was through the blood of the lamb (Jesus) that the church was founded,” Omotosho added, as he explained his commitment to the church.
