It was a day of overwhelming joy and fulfillment for the Camp Manager, Babalola Memorial International Miracle Camp, Ikeji-Arakeji Osun State, Pastor Samuel Adeoye Adesoji on Saturday November 19, 2022 as his daughter, Comfort Adefunke was joined together with her long time sweetheart, Olarenwaju Ayodeji.
The wedding ceremony held at the CAC Prayer Embassy District Headquarters, Osogbo started with an engagement ceremony held on Friday November 18, 2022 in Ayekale, Osogbo, Osun State.
The District Superintendent, CAC Oke-Ayo Oniti District, Osogbo, Pastor C. S. Ademuyiwa conducted the holy matrimony alongside other ministers.
The colorful celebration of love had in attendance the Finance Director of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Johnson F. Omitinde, other CAC ministers, family, friends and well wishers of the celebrants.
While ministering on the topic "Seven proven materials to build an enviable home", taking the text from Luke 14:28-30, Pastor Kunle Taiwo of CAC Oke-Ibukun, Blessing Zone, Ado Ekiti said for any home to be well built, there are materials.
The first material according to him is "God" saying that God implies the Trinity, telling the new couple that God is the most important material to put in place to build a home.
He further explained that; "don't see God in a home as an old version teaching. You can't do anything outside of God and succeed in home. You need Him. You need His teaching. You need His direction. He is the paramount thing you need to build home."
Another material needed to be an enviable home according to the Cleric, is love and submission, saying that what many call love today is emotional stupidity and because of that, it can't stand the test of time.
Truthfulness and faithfulness is another material needed to be an enviable home, the Clergyman said.
"Truthfulness and faithfulness implies letting your 'yes' be 'yes' and 'no' be 'no.' Anything that you will do and you can't be proud of, don't do it. Anywhere you will get to and you will not be able to say the truth, don't go there. Anything you build as a family will scatter immediately you can't trust yourself," Pastor Taiwo told the new couple.
While saying that "understanding of individual differences" is the fourth material, Pastor Taiwo told the couple that; "you are not from the same background or home and you have to know that it will take time for you to understand each other. Both of you are not complete and you have your weaknesses. Don't expect a perfect man or woman anywhere."
On the fifth material, he said it is "understanding constructive communication", saying that when the devil wants to destroy a home, he will first destroy their communication.
Pastor Taiwo stated that sacrifice is the sixth material, noting that; "anything that will call love is always going with sacrifice. When there is no sacrifice there is no love. You need to sacrifice some things because of love."
He concluded that the seventh material needed to build an enviable home is prayer and the Word of God, explaining that any step you want to take, go and check from the word if it is right.
The programme ended with a reception at His Grace Event Centre, Ringroad, Osogbo, Osun State.
