Earlier on in the virtual birthday celebration, Arc. Ifeanyi Odedo, National president of FGBMFI gave an exhortation to the guests on why they need to surrender their lives to Christ, who is able to catalyse them to any position they desire in life.
Odedo, made a narrative of his life from childhood how he had suffered from near success syndrome until the day he met Christ when the spell was taken away. He thereafter invited all participants to accept the same Jesus Christ who is able to turn their lives around for the best.
Appreciating the short but powerful sermon of the priest, the Pharmanews Publisher, Pharm. (Sir) Ifeanyi Atueyi expressed his delight in the testimonies of Mazi and the Full Gospel National President, how they have been instrumental to the saving of souls.
“I thank God for using the testimonies of Sam Ohuabunwa and Arc. Ifeanyi Odedo, the national president of FGBMFI, to win some souls into the Kingdom of God. May God bless all of us”, he remarked.
Thereafter, he congratulated the celebrant on behalf of himself and his wife, Lady Joan Atueyi, wishing him a very happy 70th birthday anniversary, while he prayed for long, prosperous and productive life for him.
The Vice-Chancellor, Chrisland Univerisity, Prof. Chinedum Babalola also sent her heartfelt greetings to Mazi, attesting to the huge impacts of his wonderful life filled with God’s goodness and mercy.”Happy birthday to you Uncle Sam. Your life of impact is amazing and we join you to praise God. May you continue to be blessed and be a blessing”, she remarked.
Pharm. (Mrs) Clare Omatseye, managing director, JNC International Limited (JNCI) also sent in her tribute to Mazi thus: “My big brother, Mazi, wishing you a truly amazing and memorable happy 70th Birthday. I pray that God continues to guide, bless and protect you and take you to even greater heights. May your godly divine inspiration and wisdom continue to be yours as you impact leadership, humanity and governance. Thank you for always giving yourself to serve and lead others. We all look forward to reading your new book “Wired to Lead”. A very befitting title for a man of your many laurels. God bless you always warm wishes”.
Earlier before the encomiums started pouring in, Mazi had given a download of his life before and after he had an encounter with Jesus Christ, which he described as a turning point in his life. He recounted how he used to stay back in the office after working hours to club with friends, how he hated everything about Christianity as he used to turn down his wife’s persuasion to know Christ and everything that related to Christ, up to gospel music.
But after he gave his life to his Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, he said all things became new in all spheres of his life, and he began to enjoy the unlimited blessings of the Lord even in his career.
Ohuabunwa then invited his guests to give their lives to Christ, as all he has got and become today is only attributed to Him and no other.
