Some dates are unforgettable in once life, and 30th December, has double significance in my life.
Hmmn! 35 years ago today, after so much pressure, I was sent out of the house by my biological father because I gave my life to Jesus Christ and I am not willing to change that decision. (I was born into a Muslim family, and I was there when his Muslim cleric told him to close his eyes and throw me away, if I don't deny Jesus Christ)
I left home with 2 trousers, 3 shirts, one towel and only 10 Kobo, into the world of unknown then, but known to Jesus Christ. And with the believe that He whom I gave my life to will see me through.
I give All glory to God of my salvation today because I didn't have any reason to regret my decision to stay with Jesus Christ. He is too faithful to fail, He has NEVER and He will NEVER disappoint. Thank you Jesus Christ for your faithfulness, for your love, care and understanding. I am grateful.
I want to sincerely appreciate my mother, abiyamo tooto, who stood by me since then even till now, Pastor Mrs Dorcas Ebunoluwa Olanike Lawal and the entire family, the entire family of Engr. Samuel Idowu Akinpelu. I can not but thank the family of Rev. Dr. Olubisi Irele of blessed memory, Pastor Osundoyin, Pastor James Abayomi Adelaja, Pastor Akindele Opeoluwa Ajayi and to ALL my fathers and mothers in the Lord, especially my daddy Pastor and Mrs Olusegun Olasunkanmi Ariyo. Thank you All for standing by me, I am very grateful. I also can not but thank Bishop Olayemi Samuel, Pastor and Mrs Ben Akanu, Pastor and Mrs Yinka Jaji, Pastor and Mrs Kunle Adesanya(Papa K) Pastor and Mrs Yomi Sanusi.
In the same vain, it is exactly 21years today that in obedient to God's instruction, my family migrated to Lagos (Ikorodu precisely) from Ibadan.
