“On behalf of the leadership of the Youth Development Empowerment Committee (YDEC), and the entire youth body of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide I heartily congratulate the newly inaugurated International Youth Council (IYC) executive members on your successful inauguration today Saturday 7th February 2026.

This divine assignment marks the beginning of a new chapter in the administration, growth, and spiritual development of youths worldwide. Your emergence into leadership is not by chance but by divine ordination having been divinely guided by God through the constituted authorities of the church.

As you assume this sacred responsibility, I urge you to lead with humility, wisdom, unity, discipline, and the fear of God. Let love, transparency, accountability, and service remain your guiding principles.

You are called not only to lead but to be examples worthy of emulation to youths across all dioceses, regions, and nations. I pray that the Almighty God will grant you divine wisdom, strength, grace, and spiritual insight to discharge your duties faithfully.

May the Holy Spirit guide your decisions, crown your efforts with success, and grant you peace, unity, and progress throughout your tenure. You will not fail, you will not falter, and your administration shall record testimonies in Jesus’ name.

Once again, congratulations on your inauguration. May your leadership bring glory to God and advancement to the youth of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide. Amen.”

One of the major highlights of the event was the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award to emeritus youth leader, Senior Evangelist Samuel Olorunfemi Odeyemi. The award was received on his behalf by his loving wife, Mother Celestial Yetunde Odeyemi.
