Reverend Omoge
The pastoral entitlements are a subject matter majority of the members of the Church shy away from, because it is believed that the 'Pastor' have the right to determine how it is spent.

All the claimants of the pastoral seat in the Church do not tell how they spend the pastoral entitlements, which are basically the 'ipin' and anointment fee they get, but one of them has decided to go against this norm.

Reverend Beni Omoge, who succeeded late Reverend Paul Maforikan as one of the claimants of the Church, declared that the pastoral entitlements are not spent by him, but are used for the development of the Church. He made this known in an interview granted to the Nigeria Tribune.

"When Pastor Maforikan was alive, I used to tell him and the elders that whenever I travelled from Akure to Lagos, I closed my eyes as I approached the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministry (MFM) and the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) campground.

"When I was asked why, I told them that I used to pray that the CCC would also have a campground on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, with people saying every month, ‘Let us quickly pass through the camp-ground of the CCC before a hold-up starts there,’ as it is being said of the MFM and the RCCG.



"So, during Pastor Maforikan’s lifetime, I had told him and the elders that the time was ripe to revive the CCC. I said the monies meant for the Pastor of the CCC, that is, returns and anointing fee, would be used for the development of the church during my time.

"Hence, the Church acquired 300 hectares of land at Kilometre 28, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, on which we have started building the CCC Golden City" the clergy said.
