It was a glorious atmosphere of worship and celebration at the Gethsemane World Prayer Centre, Eleyele, Ibadan, as dignitaries, Ministers, and gospel artistes gathered for a special Seven Hours Praise service in honour of Rev’d (Dr) Moses Aransiola and Pastor Funmi Veronica Aransiola 70/70/50 birthday and Ministry celebration
Theme of the programme is New Dawn.
The event, which held on Thursday despite the heavy rainfall, marked the opening of the activities marking the celebration of the couple’s 70th birthdays and 50 years of impactful ministry. The auditorium was filled to capacity as worshippers thronged the venue in joyful anticipation.
Renowned gospel artistes including Evangelist Dr. Bola Aare, Lilian Nneji, Pastor Shola Oladoyinbo and the Tribe of Judah Choir of the church led the congregation in soul-lifting songs, filling the atmosphere with spiritual fervour and deep gratitude. The celebrants, visibly overwhelmed with joy, danced energetically in response to the heartfelt ministration.
The highlight of the event was the exhortation by Pastor Adeleke Sanusi, Senior Continental Overseer for Europe and Chairman, RCCG Board in the United Kingdom.
Preaching from Psalm 116:8 and 12, he delivered a brief but powerful message titled “What Shall I Render?”.
Pastor Sanusi described the 70th birthdays of Rev. Dr. Moses Aransiola and Pastor Funmi Aransiola as a rare testimony of divine mercy, grace, and favour. “It is an unusual grace to mark 70 years of life and 50 years in Impactful ministry. This is not a small feat. Our parents in the Lord have lived exemplary lives of consecration and dedication to God’s work, through effective prayer life” he said.
He further remarked, “In their 70 years on earth and 50 years in ministry, they have not faltered—in character, spirituality, or leadership. They are growing stronger and stronger, and we give glory to God.”
Pastor Sanusi called on members of the ministry and all well-wishers to celebrate the grace of God upon the lives of the Revd Dr Aransiola and his wife in order to support them with prayers as they continue to break new grounds in ministry.
“The event was not only a celebration of age and ministry, but also a spiritual renewal for all who attended—a true testimony of a life well lived in service to God, he added
