In a reaction to the viral video of some young females caught in videos consuming alcohol while adorning the garment of the church, the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide has condemned the act in its entirety.
According to a release made available to Freelanews, the head of media, CCC Worldwide, Dr. Kayode Ajala, stated that the Celestial Church of Christ is a Bible believing Church that inculcates in her members the teachings of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, as contained in the scriptures.
“An outstanding rule and tenet of the church, which is drummed into members at announcement time, during all our glorious Sunday services, is that consumption of alcohol is abominable and an aberration for all members of the Celestial Church of Christ.
“Given the foregoing, we remain in doubt that the dipsomaniacs in that video gone viral, are indeed bona-fide members of the Celestial Church of Christ. And as a church, we condemn the morally reprehensible actions of the guzzlers in that viral video in very strong terms.
“That notwithstanding, the church has begun investigations into the circumstances surrounding the video in question and has confirmed that the said video was shot at the Adult Harvest Thanksgiving Service of the Celestial Church of Christ, Idunnu Joshua Parish, Gowon Estate, Egbeda, Lagos, headed by a Prophet Oyebanji,” he said.
Dr. Ajala also stated that the church is already making attempts at ensuring disciplinary action is taken in order to forestall re-occurence of such an unholy act.
“We wish to assure the vast membership of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide that appropriate steps are being taken to ensure that there would be no recurrence of this anomaly, just as sanctions would be meted out on the culprits for the embarrassment that this has brought upon the church,” he submitted.
