"Soli Deo Gloria” (To God alone be the glory).
Today, we rejoice with hearts full of gratitude to God as our Father in Christ, His Eminence Ojaoba Joseph Adedayo, successfully received his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Religious Studies (New Testament Specialization) at the 77th Convocation Ceremony of the University of Ibadan.
"Great things He hath taught us
Great things He hath done
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport when Jesus we see."
We glorify God for this remarkable achievement.
Indeed, the words of Scripture ring true:
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God” (2 Timothy 2:15).
Your unwavering dedication to ἡ καινὴ διαθήκη (the New Testament) has inspired many across the UAMC Org. family, Communion and African Churches and beyond.
This accomplishment is not only a personal milestone but a blessing to the Church universal (Ecclesia Dei), and especially to the United African Methodist Church worldwide. Your pursuit of knowledge reflects the charge of Proverbs 4:7:
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom.”
As a shepherd, teacher, and spiritual father, Your Eminence continues to embody the hymn writer’s prayer:
“Teach me, O Lord, Thy way of truth,
And from it I will not depart.”
We celebrate a leader whose commitment to scholarship strengthens the faith of God’s people. May the Holy Spirit continue to enlarge your ministry, deepen your insight into the mysteries of Scripture, and empower you for greater kingdom impact.
"Ad multos annos" To many more years of fruitfulness in service.
Once again, hearty congratulations, Your Eminence Ojaoba Joseph Adedayo, successfully received his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Religious Studies (New Testament Specialization) at the 77th Convocation Ceremony of the University of Ibadan.
