365Daily – Veteran actress, producer and director, Funke Akindele, has announced to the world that she is a member of the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC), popularly known as White Garment Church.
The award-winning filmmaker, who is also the Lagos State deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made the revelation in a video which showed her in the church.
Saying that she was born and raised in the celestial church, she called on the clergy of the church to pray for her as she embarks on her political endeavour, adding that said she was born and raised in CCC, adding that her case could be likened to that of a lost sheep who has returned home.
The clip was also shared on social media, on Sunday, by CCC Wonderland Parish.
Clad in the church’s white garment called ‘sutana’, the actress said she always ran to the church whenever she was faced with challenges and needed solutions.
While promising to henceforth openly associate with the Church, she stated: “I was born and raised in Celestial. My situation was like that of a lost sheep that God calls back home.
“Whenever I had challenges in my life, I usually ran back to Celestial Church but secretly. And I would see that I got breakthroughs, but right now I said enough is enough. I’ve stop hiding. I have to be identified with the church publicly.
“And I want to beg you, be praying for Funke Akindele. Every day you’re praying, remember Funke Akindele and everything that belongs to Funke Akindele. That whatever Funke Akindele does should turn to success, and wherever Funke Akindele steps on should be gotten for her.”
