I recall vividly around 8.00pm on
April 30, 2003 at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, when some
nurses and a consultant signaled to me to come into the delivery room to behold
a gift from God. A boy very big from day 1 smiled into life. From that day on,
Majesty Efosa has been a source of Joy to the family. Glory be to God. Power
Osaretin’s story is more dramatic. His mother had just concluded her Masters
Degree examinations at the University of Ibadan on 18th May 2006. Because
she was still having some days to relax
before delivery date, and also considering the exam stress, I took her to UCH
to rest for some days. Meanwhile, I had two major functions for Saturday 20th
May 2006: As the national pastor for training and manpower development Living
Spring Chapel International, I had some training sessions with some ministers
in a certificate course. I also had 20 books to review that day in a book
launch in honour of Rev. Oniya. When I was through with the day’s hectic job, I
decided to go to University College Hospital to visit Sharon Baby. It was on my
way to the hospital, in company of some pastoral assistants that we received a
call from madam herself that POWER had been born some fews earlier!. His first
few years were challenging but God has used his life to demonstrate that POWER
PASS POWER
As Majesty Ighile stood today (around 10.00am) before a congregation of more than 2, 000 adults at the
Redeemer’s University Chapel to recite two poems composed by him and his
brother, Power, all I could say was “Thank you, Jesus”.
As if that was not enough, later
in the evening, precisely between 4.00pm and 6.30 pm, a professionally
co-ordinated birthday party for Majesty and Power took place in our residence
at the Redemption Camp. And about a
hundred people made up of mostly children and some adults graced the occasion.
Father, you have started well
with YOUR children, lead them to old age in Jesus Name.
