The former president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Papa Ayo Oritsejafor, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Mike Okonkwo, Wale Oke, president, PFN, have graced the 80th birthday celebration of the former president of PFN, Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude in Benin.
Speaking at the birthday ceremony, the founder and senior pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, Ayo Oritsejafor who dwelt so much on the circumstances that surrounded the birth of Moses, which he read from the book of Exodus 2:1, related it to Dr. Felix Omobude who suffered a great deal too but survived.
He said despite what happened to Moses, God waited till he was 80 years before He used him for His signs and wonders.
The clergyman described the 80 years of Omobude as his second phase of life where God will use him mightily to liberate men for His kingdom.
He said that every man born of a woman is being assigned with a responsibility but it is quite unfortunate that most don’t know what they are called to do.
He said ones assignment on earth does not depend on ones age but ones availability, integrity, preparedness and God’s timing, noting that, Omobude has been able to fit into it.
He described the celebrant as a gentle and honest man whom he knew about 55 years ago.
On the part of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, general overseer, Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), he prayed God should grant Omobude the grace to finish well and strong.
For the celebrant, Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude he said he has keyed into the message delivered by Ayo Oritsejafor who described his 80 years birthday as a journey into the second phase of his life on earth.
“Well, the speaker at the service said it. It’s a new phase. And I’m just God’s servant. And he said he will give me his word. So, I’m open to that.
“If Moses had a call to deliver the entire Hebrew race at the age of 80, I said I still have something to give to my generation”, Omobude said.
