In a remarkable turn of events, the year 2023 marks the first time the Pastor will embark on a visit to the United States of America without any controversy. On the 28th of July 2023, the Pastor arrived the USA to fulfill his pastoral duties as the Head of the Church, as outlined in section 108 of the Church Constitution. Since his arrival, the Pastor has been living a life of luxury, and all plans scheduled for his visit have been executed flawlessly.
On Thursday, the 10th of August 2023, the Pastor will make his way to the vibrant city of Chicago to continue his pastoral visitation. His first stop will be the Mother Parish, where he will engage with the congregation before proceeding to the meticulously arranged rented accommodation. During his stay in Chicago, the Pastor will conduct an anointment exercise exclusively for registered members, with the approval of VSE Olorunnisola. This special event will take place on Saturday, setting the stage for a momentous occasion.
To further enrich his visit, the Pastor will join his Brother AVSE Benjamin Oshoffa on Sunday, the 13th of August 2023, to partake in the 36th Annual Adult Harvest of CCC Great Oshoffa Parish. This highly anticipated event promises to be a celebration of faith, unity, and gratitude. However, there have been rumors surrounding the Pastor’s visit to CCC Great Oshoffa Parish in Chicago, suggesting that the well-coordinated visit, which has been under the careful supervision of VSE Olorunnisola will be unexpectedly disrupt. It has been reported that AVSE Benjamin Oshoffa has made alternative arrangements for the Pastor, granting full access to VSE Balogun faction. The alleged intention behind this plan is to create an atmosphere of uncertainty, leaving the Pastor unsure about how to address the ongoing crisis within the USA Diocese.
The rumors of VSE Balogun faction utilizing the shepherd of CCC Great Oshoffa Parish Chicago will result in concerns due to the negative experience witnessed last year when the Pastor visited the same Parish. On that occasion, the presence of policemen was necessary to maintain law and order. While Celestial members are eagerly anticipating a genuine reconciliation effort from the Pastor in collaboration with the registered BOT in his stay in the USA because the dispute between VSE Olorunnisola and the Pastor arose from an uncontrollable misunderstanding that occurred in Nigeria when the Pastor dissolved the Church Board.
It Is imperative for AVSE Benjamin Oshoffa to consider allowing those who have invited the Pastor to continue fostering the sustain mode of the Pastor visit. It would be inappropriate for him to utilize this as a tool to undermine the anticipation of Celestial members who eagerly await the reunification of the Pastor and the BOT. Since the demise of the Pastor Founder in 1985, the Church has not experienced the same level of unity as it did during its inception. While the hope for reestablishment remains high, it is crucial that the son of the Pastor Founder prioritizes peace rather than exploiting this situation for personal gain or hidden agendas that may surpass the imagination of AVSE Benjamin Oshoffa. The actions or inactions displayed during the crisis in 2021 are still vivid in the minds of Celestial members, and it is essential that he shouldn’t be use to disrupt another peace process.
It is a well-known fact that the USA Diocese has (2) Heads of Diocese with whom the Pastor relates with. However, the March 2021 crisis has yet to be resolved, leaving many church members skeptical about who the Pastor will publicly pronounce as the Head of the USA Diocese. Members are patiently waiting to see whether the Pastor will officially divide the USA Diocese into two separate bodies or announce either VSE Olorunnisola or VSE Balogun as the Head of Diocese. Or the Pastor will announce that either of (2) should manage the Diocese for 2 years.
We are currently in a stage where every aspect of the Church is facing challenges, which has led to doubts about the legitimacy of the Pastor. However, it is important to note that once the Pastor reconciles with the registered Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Church, we can expect a turnaround in terms of a proper assessment of the administration structure.
