My heart was blossoming with joy on Saturday. It was a day I was happy to witness. It was a day that made me know that I have a God who hears and answers prayers. That day finally came.
His name is Sam. I met him when I first join the Redeemed Christian Church Of God, Wind Of Change at Egbejila Road, opposite Ilorin International Airport. When I relocated from where I was staying at the Children Evangelism Ministry, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. I left my former parish at Balah Road, Eyinkorin. Since I was living in the Airport Area, I looked for a parish of The Redeemed Christian Church Of God nearer to me. That was what sent me to RCCG, WIND OF CHANGE.
I met several people in the Wind Of Change Parish of The Redeemed Christian Church Of God when I joined the assembly. It was a wonderful family. Our fellowship and communion together was always unique. The brethren were loving and caring. We went along together happily and wonderfully.
Brother Sam was one of the younger brothers who became more closer to me than just a mere church brother. He visited and spent time with me more than others. Even when I got married, he always shared his life with me.
My friend and brother was one person who I discovered had many problems. Life was not very easy for him. Well interacting with him, I could not push him away even with the many issues with him because I discovered that he was a victim of circumstance.
Trying to navigate his life out of the mess he found himself was not easy. He had a very ugly background. Because of all these issues around him, he was prone to making mistakes more often. Many people deserted him because of his many flaws. In all these, I still believed in something good coming out of this brother's destiny.
When I became his pastor, it was imperative that I should keep helping and assisting him. So, when many people keep pointing their hands at his many misbehaviors, I kept praying to God for help to him. Thank God today, the story has changed.
Saturday, 26th of October, 2024 was a great day for Bro Sam. That day he legally got married! That is a thing of great joy to me. I witnessed with great joy in my heart that the person people thought that he can't amount to anything meaningful has successfully and rightly gotten married in the presence of many witnesses.
I wish him well in all his endeavors. I pray to God to bless his marriage and enlarge his coast. May he be blessed with children and money. May his home be a harbor of pleasure and happiness.
