The records of Professor Samuel Odeyemi in Celestial Church can never be rivalled by anyone, except that of the pastor/founder, Reverend SBJ Oshoffa, says renowned preacher, Prophet Kunle Hamilton. He revealed this in a birthday tribute he penned down in honour of the General Youth Coordinator of Celestial Church which he titled tribute to a true celestial icon.






In the tribute, Hamilton acknowledged the works of Odeyemi in ensuring that celestians are modeled to become compliant with the knowledge of the gospel by building the foundation and superstructure for the youth organisation in Celestial Church and seminary for training of Shepherds, Workers and Scholars to scale up the theological breeding of Gospel Ministers in the fold. He described the products of the spiritual foundation built by Odeyemi as the current middle managers of Celestial Church.

He also extolled the selfless attributes of Odeyemi as unmatchable by any celestian, except Reverend SBJ Oshoffa by saying in his opinion, “no other man or woman, except perhaps the Pastor/Founder, has given as much time, talent, effort, status, substance or garnered as much goodwill to and for the Celestial Church of Christ as this true icon.”







The visioner of CCC Praiseville, also noted the entrepreneurial skills of Professor Odeyemi which resulted to him becoming an employer of labour with interests in education, portable water and wine production business. Hamilton also acknowledged the role Professor Odeyemi played as a Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, in guiding some members of the church to acquire university degrees.

He implored members of the church to emulate the sincere nature of Odeyemi, saying: “all of us in the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide should copy the selflessness and commitment of this true icon who has never benefitted a dime nor begged for any title or position in the top echelons of the Church. . . . . . . If truly CCC is worth living and dying for, then I wait to see how Pastor EMF Oshoffa, Pastor Beni Omoge, Pastor Steve Orovboni and all the human assets of CCC Worldwide would celebrate Daddy Samuel Odeyemi when his time comes.”
