MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH MOMMY EDITH OSHOFFA WITH PAPA’S AUTHENTIC ROBE
On Sunday the 9th of September 2018, as we arrived at the church premises of Celestial Church of Christ, Beulah Parish Ajah, Lekki that day for the service, we were very well received by the Princess. First, she presented me with three different framed pictures through a young man, of the Pastor Founder and said I should pick one. I chose the one where the Founder wore a green robe and clasped his hands together in prayer with his beautiful bald head and hair, very well-groomed. As God would have it, that was the same picture I saw sitting on the Founder’s seat inside the sanctuary. Remember that 38 years ago in 1980 I had a dream with my hair bald to the middle like that of the Pastor Founder with Celestians rushing to me. That was one of the many ways the Holy Spirit revealed to me then that one day I would succeed the Founder.
She then walked to me and mentioned that the Holy Spirit had instructed her to ask the Evangelist-in-charge of the Parish to cover me with the Founder’s original robe after the service, so I could pray for whatever I needed from God and added that it was the best she could do for now. I believe it was her way of expressing gratitude by simply obeying the leading of the Holy Spirit. This was quite a shock to me. It was totally unexpected since that was our first contact and we were like strangers just getting to know each other.
Nevertheless, I saw it as another direct confirmation of everything I had written in this book about succession. 33 years prior, on Friday, March 29th, 1985 Papa SBJ Oshoffa asked me to hold his robe and pray for whatever I wanted. 33 years later on Sunday, September 9th, 2018 Papa’s Senior daughter Princess Edith Oshoffa granted me a rare access to be covered with the founder’s robe and ask for whatever I wanted. This was even when I had not said a word to her about my book or my revelations. What a divine setup! Only God can do things like this. Father and daughter acting in a similar manner after 33 long years.
One of my prayers before that Sunday service was that God should do something that Sunday that would be so glaring and would confirm beyond the shadow of a doubt that I am the true successor to the Founder. I reminded God the Father, that I know him as the God who confirms the word of his chosen ones. I believed that God answered my prayer that Sunday and did what only He could do best. I told God that if I am the true successor as he already made known to me, then I don’t need to persuade or convince anyone, because that is the DUTY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. God also answered this prayer.
I believe that everything that transpired between the Princess and me during my visit was strictly orchestrated by the Holy Spirit of God.
What prayer did I pray in the inner altar after the service on that day as the Evangelist-in-charge covered me with the original and authentic garment of the Founder, one of the very robes that Papa wore while with us?
Of course, I prayed the same prayer I prayed 33 years ago when the Founder asked me to hold his garment and ask for what I wanted and then laid hands on me on Friday, March 29th, 1985 plus more. I spent almost an hour that day praying. I prayed till I started sweating as if someone poured water on me. I also reminded God of his promise to Papa Oshoffa that his successor would have multiple powers than him. I asked for the speedy fulfillment of that promise. I prayed for all the factions in Celestial Church of Christ to come together as one church and for God to assist me to complete the vision of the building of the Celestial City at Imeko in record time. I prayed that the Holy Spirit should cause conviction and true repentance in some members of the leadership of the Church and help us flush out all trouble makers and agents of the devil who are bent on contaminating the holiness of the Church with magical and occultic powers.
I poured my heart to God that day far more than I can remember. I even went as far as saying that God should do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond anything I had asked. I saw it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I made the best use of the moment.
Take note of how this testimony had been unfolding for thirty-three years. THIS WAS NOT JUST ONE FLASHY MOMENT OF USING THE FOUNDER’S ORIGINAL GARMENT FOR A QUICK PRAYER. The story that led to the use of the special garment is what gives great authenticity to this divine encounter. An encounter like this happens only once in a lifetime, not twice, it cannot be duplicated.
What is the implication of what Mommy EDITH did?
She may or may not understand what she did and why she did it. Nevertheless, It is my belief that everything that Princess and Prophetess Edith Oshoffa did have deep spiritual implications that cannot be reversed. It was a clear confirmation and complete endorsement as the chosen successor to Pastor SBJ Oshoffa.
If you pay close attention to scripture you will observe that the garment was a symbol of power, position and authority if administered in the proper context and by the right individual. What Mommy Edith did was an absolute divine confirmation of what God had already done 34 years ago when Papa SBJ Oshoffa asked me to pray while holding his garment and laid hand on my head.
When Jacob blessed Joseph with a robe of many colors, his siblings were very jealous because that was a statement from the Dad that Joseph was the Chosen One.
When Elisha got a hold of Elijah’s robe, that was a signal from heaven that power has been transferred and Elisha was to succeed Elijah. When the woman with the issue of blood touched the helm of the Messiah’s robe, power was emitted, and she was made whole. When Daniel was promoted in the Kingdom he was clothed in a purple robe. One of the distinguishing factors of the High Priest was the unique robe assigned to that office. From all biblical indicators the robe represents power and position of authority.
I am not surprised that the Holy Spirit connected me with Mommy Edith because she had been passionate, even at the risk of her life, fought tirelessly to protect the will of Papa SBJ Oshoffa. If not for her intervention and diligence the Father’s body would have been diverted to the Republic of Benin against her Father’s will. SHE IS A STAUNCH DEFENDER OF THE LEGACY AND THE WILL OF HER BIOLOGICAL PAPA.
I thank God for ordering my steps to her as the very first person I gave our book. And because she was in Spirit God used her actions as an express confirmation of the fulfillment of Papa’s prophecy that a chosen successor by the Holy Spirit not by the appointment of men would soon appear.
Those who are spiritually in tune with God and who are spiritually mature understand without a shadow of a doubt that Papa’s prophecy has finally come to pass. But those who are carnally minded and spiritually blind would still not understand. May the good Lord open our spiritual eyes and ears to know his plan and understand his ways.
