HOW FUNKE AKINDELE WAS HEALED BY CELESTIAL CHURCH AFTER COLLAPSING AT BOARDING SCHOOL

 

New information has come to light regarding the healing of actress and mother of twin sons Funke Akindele, who fainted years ago while attending boarding school, in a Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) parish.

Two days after the actress declared her return to the church, one Kunle Hamilton, a former editor with ThisDay newspapers, shared the memory in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

After visiting the CCC Wonderland Cathedral and CCC SBJ Cathedral in Alimosho, Lagos on Sunday to celebrate her 45th birthday and ask the church for assistance in her bid to succeed the state's current deputy governor as governor in 2023, Funke Akindele made the visit on Monday.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deputy governor candidate spoke in one of the parishes said...

She said;

“I was born and raised in Celestial. My situation was like that of a lost sheep that God calls back home.”

Hamilton, an elder in the CCC, responded to the criticism that followed Funke's return to the church by stating that he has known the Akindeles for 30 years and feels compelled to applaud Funke for coming out bravely to identify as a Celestian.

He said;

“Funke Akindele has been a Celestian for over 36 years. Her youngest sibling, Mariah Abimbola Akindele aka ‘Mama’ was born and christened in the CCC, and she remains extremely passionate about her faith.

“The Akindeles joined the CCC at Agiliti Parish 1  under Prophet Adekoya and spent a lot of time in church.

“At different times, they all attended CCC Ibukunolu Parish, Ketu-Alapere under Shepherd Oyelakin, CCC Ojodu Parish on Aina Street, and CCC Olusosun Parish, Ojota as their family home addresses changed.”

He further stated that...

“There was a time Funke was seriously ill in boarding school. She fainted and was rushed to Olusosun Parish where she was miraculously healed by God.”

Hamilton also said;

“Funke’s late dad and her mom who is very much alive and who rose to the rank of SSES, were Celestians for many years. Her father later joined the Methodist Church but gave his blessings for the rest of his family to worship in CCC.”
