A bizarre moment during a Celestial Church of Christ service has gone viral after a congregant reportedly paid ₦1.5 million for a single candle promoted by church prophets.
In a video circulating on TikTok via user @yourariesqueenofficial, church prophets are seen parading a candle before the crowd while announcing escalating prices through a microphone. What started in the hundreds of thousands soon climbed past the million-naira mark, eventually peaking at ₦1.5 million.
The congregation watched in awe as the bidding continued. Then, in a dramatic twist, a male churchgoer rose, approached the altar, and received the candle amid the ongoing chants. He then knelt, apparently accepting the spiritual significance of the object.
The unusual auction-style sale during a church service has triggered widespread commentary online, with many viewers questioning the commercialization of religious practices. The video continues to trend as debates rage about faith, money, and what defines a spiritual offering.
