Pastor Jide Akiode, Regional Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Region 10, delivered a compelling sermon at the 70th birthday celebration of Pastor Ademola Adeyinka held at RCCG Central Parish in Wuse, Zone 2, Abuja.
His message, titled “He Deserves It,” emphasized the importance of recognizing God’s mercy as the foundation of all personal achievements and milestones.

He highlighted the role of divine grace in survival and health, particularly referencing the attendees who had survived since the 1950s.
Pastor Jide utilized biblical passages, such as 2nd Samuel and Psalm 119:89, to underscore the consistency and integrity of God’s presence in everyday life. “His consistency is evident in our lives. The fact that you are healthy at 70 is a testament to God’s faithfulness,” he added.
