<h4>Outrage In Celestial Church of Christ</h4>
<p><strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> reports that a video featuring popular content creator James Brown, known for his cross-dressing persona, has ignited debate within the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) community.</p>
<p>In the footage, James Brown is seen participating in a prayer session while dressed in a female sutana inside a CCC parish, prompting reactions that range from shock to outright condemnation.</p>
<p>Many social media users initially assumed the video depicted a spiritual deliverance, but Celestial Reality Check (CRC) clarified the matter on Facebook.</p>
<p>According to CRC, James Brown attended the church to receive prayers for personal success and blessings, not for deliverance.</p>
<p>CRC explained:<br />
“<em><strong>JAMES BROWN DELIVERANCE February 1st, 2026. Prophet Eze Timothy, who oversees CCC Orisun Iye Parish, Alpha and Omega, at Alhaji Opeloyeru Street, off Senukoro Aiyetoro, Ado-Odo/Ota LGA, Ogun State, is aware of James Brown’s male identity and his preference for cross-dressing.&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>The video posted online was a genuine prayer session, not a staged performance. Initially labeled as a deliverance by some Instagram blogs, CRC has since clarified that it was a prayer for success and blessings.</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>The Shepherd appears to focus on James Brown’s success rather than deliverance. The controversy arises from his attire during the session and its circulation online</strong></em>.</p>
<p><em><strong>Authorities, including the CCC Task-Force Office in Ogun State, the Prophet and Prophetess Council, and the Shepherd’s Disciplinary Committee, may need to provide guidance to prevent abnormal practices from becoming normalized.”</strong></em></p>
<p>Despite CRC’s clarification, some clerics openly criticized the video. Segun Glorious, a pastor at CCC, expressed concern about the implications of the recording:</p>
<p>&#8220;My concern is that this act of shame is taking place in a church building that is yet to be completed.</p>
<p>&#8220;This individual should not exploit the church for content while the building remains unfinished. While leadership struggles continue within the church, the global perception of CCC is being negatively affected.</p>
<p>&#8220;For non-members, I want to emphasize that this content does not align with our doctrinal teachings.”</p>
<p>Another cleric, Michael Abatanwa, voiced a similar condemnation:</p>
<p>“As a shepherd and member of CCC, I believe James Brown’s actions are inappropriate, and the Shepherd must be questioned by church authorities. Such behavior is not permitted in CCC anywhere in the world.”</p>
<p>Social media quickly erupted with reactions to the video:<br />
@Lanre Sammy:<br />
“A man put on female sutana….woli Bali won tun pase asekini……. Stomach calling Prophets.”</p>
<p>@Aigbe Osariemen Precious:</p>
<p>“This act is very bad on the image of the church, na even 4 corner they wear am.”</p>
<p>@Abigail Adewumi:<br />
“What did I just watch father Lord. The Woli sef need deliverance oo. Na four corner he even wear…..Kai with her rumple dress.”</p>
<p>@Olori Sarah:<br />
“Deliverance indeed , why is he wearing woman Garmet.”</p>
<p>@Abigail Adewumi:<br />
“You sure say God called you abi na ur belle called you.”</p>
<p>The incident has sparked a wider discussion about boundaries in sacred spaces, the role of social media, and the perception of religious practices in the digital age.</p>
<p>While James Brown’s intentions may have been personal <strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/">blessings</a></strong>, the choice of attire and the viral spread of the video have raised questions among CCC members about what is appropriate in their houses of worship.</p>
