The auditorium of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, ICC Abuja was filled to capacity as well wishers from all walks of life converge to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee Celebration of Pastor Mrs Onome Ayiam.
The colorful atmosphere of white and purple with music and good ambience characterized the occasion.
Pastor in Charge, RCCG Region 10, Pastor Jide Akiode who took the sermon from Psalm 89 vs 1 admonished the celebrant that she enjoyed God’s unfailing mercies as no one turns 60 twice but once in a lifetime.
Pastor Akiode charged christians not to have a sense of entitlement to God’s mercies, “If God does not answer prayers he will still remain God and still exist”.
He admonished the celebrant not to forget God’s mercies even at 60 but keep on waxing strong for kingdom work.
“What you have enjoyed for 60 years is pure mercy, if he is merciful unto you, you live. Psalm 103 vs 3.”.
Also, the Pastor in Charge, RCCG FCT Province 11 and husband of the celebrant, Pastor Richard Anyiam eulogized the celebrant with praise and showers of love described Pastor (Mrs) Anyiam as a true example of a virtuous woman.
“My wife exemplifies the picture of a virtuous woman, an entrepreneur per excellence, she can turn sand into gold, she is 7 women in one, untiring, for 24 years she is a stranger to sickness, she is the best soup maker allover the world, energetic and has the fear of the lord and I have never regretted marrying her, she is a pillar and formidable pillar in my ministry”.
The celebrant, Pst (Mrs) Onome Anyiam whose joy knew no bounds was full of praises to God almighty for clocking 60 and expressed her profound appreciation to the Redeemed Family.
She explained that the grace of God has kept her till date though the journey of life has not been easy but God saw her through.
She further stated that 60 is her next level and her path will continue to shine in subsequent years to come.
“The word of God says in proverbs 4vs18 that but the path of the just is as the shinning light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day, so it means that 60 is my next level it means at 70, I will shine brighter than 60 and my path will continue to shine on daily basis until I see Christ in glory”.
The Wife of the Continental Overseer, Rccg, Pastor Mrs Odeyemi showered prayers and blessings upon the celebrant, her family and the church at large.
