The Continental Overseer and Assistant General Overseer (Education and Training)of the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG, Pastor Ezekiel Odeyemi has described A/P Halima Oyelade has an example of a true Christian woman.
Odeyemi while speaking over the weekend at Oyelades Book Launch and Evening of Thanksgiving stated that despite the demise of her husband she stood faithfully with God and God showed up for her.
“Halima has shown to us what it takes to be a Christian woman, including her children, I have no doubt within me that one of the reasons that God has sent her to the world is to reveal to us that God is faithful no matter what one is passing through”.
Explaining, Odeyemi “In our society, I have learnt my own little experience that anytime something negative happens to you there are those who wants to scorn you, but putting your faith in Christ that God is alive is important”.
He added that it is only when problem surfaces that is when we know how strong out faith is, “this family has been able to show to us that you can overcome when Jesus is on your side”.
Odeyemi advised that the most important lesson learnt from the Oyelades is that it does not matter what one is confronted with, one should make sure to always be on God’s side and he will never disappoint such faithful one.
In the same vein, Pastor in Charge, Rccg, Throne Room, Pastor Laniyi Benjamins described late Oyelade as a good organizer, hard working and highly dedicated to God’s work.
“This man taught me how to be organized, how to manage my time and money, he taught me commitment, he taught me that freedom comes with responsibility and also how to play basketball and where the kits can be gotten”.
Laniyi, appreciating halima noted that she made late Oyelade a happy man during his lifetime and after life.
“So I want to thank you Aunty Halima for making my brother a very happy person in his lifetime, you brought joy into his life, and particularly after his demise. God Bless his soul forever”.
