Special interview with CCC world wide pastor to come

Pastor Sylvanus Akintope Paul Tiwo, is currently the pastor of a branch of the CCC, and  is said to have been proclaimed as the ordained head and pastor of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide. The ex- staff of the Daily Times of Nigeria Plc., turned preacher, spoke to newdawn’s Charles Okogene last week in his church.

Six years ago, we were here and you made some pronouncements concerning the crisis in the leadership of Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) and how the Holy Spirit has shown you how it will be resolved, so if I may ask , what is the situation mow? 

I will say that from the look of things, the Lord that works in his church because the last time you were here, you heard from my mouth that according to what the Lord told Rev. SBJ Oshofa, that it is the Holy Spirit that will make known the true pastor of CCC worldwide. Now if you know the way of God, God is never in a hurry, His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. We might be looking at it over time, praying for the manifestation of things but God has His own ways, He has His own plans and if we look at it, we readily see the hands of God in the happenings in the church because the people that were chosen as pastors by the various factions, in their midst as we speak, the centre does not hold, the so called pastors as of today and before today, the groups that surrounded them, are making public pronouncements that they are really not the pastors of CCC nationwide. I will not mention names, there are cases in court and it is not a good story. It is not what we are happy about but if God has not authorised something, that thing surely will not hold, not stand, so from the last time you were here up till now, you will see that God is at work, I can say this because three years ago, God told me that “if anybody ask me what is your status in CCC worldwide, do not answer them as you use to answer them ‘that God will tell you, that God will show you, tell them that you are the true anointed pastor of Celestial Church of Christ worldwide’ so I can say boldly now that from three years ago, God told me that; it is not like I do not know who I am but I follow the words of God, the direction of God. So, from that time, God said, tell them that you are the one and that there is no need beating about the bush, but as of this moment, those that call themselves the chosen ones are not the ones. From what is happening, there is dispute all over, I do not want to mention names or particular factions, because I am not against any faction because at the end of the day, the church will become one, so, there is nobody that is an enemy.

So, Holy Spirit has not told you the time frame; when the whole thing will?

You see, the ways of God according to His plans, which I know, I will put that clause, is that God does not 100 percent give out clues about His his plans but be that as it may, I know and I am sure that we are in that stage. We are in the season when CCC worldwide will be under one umbrella according to the will of God, one fold, one shepherd. We are in that season.

So much about CCC issues, I want you to speak on national issues.  The way the nation is running are you satisfied or happy with it?

Personally, I will not speak about my opinion; I will talk about how God feels about the nation, Nigeria, the Lord told President Muhmmadu Buhari to be the president of Nigeria in order to carry out the great work of renewal in the nation. If you look at my post concerning his election in 2014/15 you will see  it there, that the Lord said that he has chosen certain set of people to carry out a revolution in Nigeria, nationalistic revolution, that is what God called it and in there God said that these set of people will be so altruistic, that they would mind more of the things of the nation than things of themselves. If you look at that prophecy the Lord said that they will be so altruistic that they will shun any aspect of opulence to the extent that some will be advocating that Nigeria should go the way of China whereby we should be riding bicycles but when they came on board, maybe due to pressure from those that surround the president, the original focus that God put in the president became lost and for that  reason, we see things that normally, you will not see around him when he came on board in the 1980s; when they had War Against Indiscipline (WAI) and all what not but right now, there is so much indiscipline, there is corruption. There is a message that God sent me to tell the nation. It is titled corruption alert and in there the Lord warned the president that a lot of people that surrounds him now, are corrupt and if he allows them to be around him, the plans of God for the nation, the assignment that God has given him to carry out, that is the renewal of the nation, will be an impossibility. So, if we look at it from that point of view, I will tell you that God is not satisfied.  So many things are happening that naturally, wouldn’t happen around Muhammedu Buhari things are going from bad to worse and this is not the plan of God for the nation.

Then what do we do?

The president has virtually spent his term in the office and there is a possibility of election next year;  I advise Nigerians to be wise in choosing future leaders, to be alert and choose future leaders wisely, that is the way.  I am not saying that is the mind of God.

If you say that is not the mind of God, what then is the mind of God because the mind of the people cannot change anything? 

The word of God says that God rules in the affairs of men, now in as much as God rules in the affairs of men, then, men too must play their part….
