Viral video: Celestial Church Prophet Sells Candle For ₦1.5 Million During Live Service

A church service held by the Celestial Church of Christ has sparked widespread conversation online after a prophet allegedly sold a candle for ₦1.5 million during a live broadcast.

The moment, which was captured in a TikTok video shared by @yourariesqueenofficial, has generated heated discussion across social media platforms. According to Eyes of Lagos, here’s what happened:

Candle Sale Goes Viral

In the viral clip, several prophets within the church were seen promoting candles to the congregation. A man with a microphone called out increasingly higher bids for the item—starting in the hundreds of thousands and climbing to ₦1.1 million, before finally settling at ₦1.5 million.

To the surprise of onlookers, one male congregant rose from his seat, walked to the front, and accepted the candle. He then knelt down at the altar, seemingly engaging in a spiritual or symbolic gesture.

Social Media Divided

The incident has stirred a mix of outrage and disbelief online. Many Nigerians have criticized what they see as the monetization of faith, with some describing the event as an example of “spiritual exploitation” in modern-day religious settings.
