The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church (Winners’ Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, have joined family, friends, and dignitaries in celebrating Pastor Samuel Olatunji on his 70th birthday.
The thanksgiving service in honour of the septuagenarian and Pro-Chancellor of Trinity University was held on Saturday at the RCCG Dominion Sanctuary, ACME Road, Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos.
In their goodwill messages, Adeboye and his wife, Pastor Foluke Adeboye, praised Olatunji for dedicating his life to spreading the gospel and positively impacting countless lives.
“Pastor Samuel Olatunji has opened wide his life as a door through which many have come to know the Lord Jesus Christ. Our prayers are that God grants you many more years in His service, and that at His coming, He will find you busy in His vineyard,” Adeboye said.
Similarly, Oyedepo and his wife described Olatunji as a consistent servant of God whose life reflects divine grace. “Our prayer is that everything about you keeps soaring higher your spiritual life, health, family and children. May your light continue to shine more and more unto the perfect day,” Oyedepo said.
Among other dignitaries present was the Alaran of Arandun, Kwara State, Oba Ibikunle Adekanye, who hailed the celebrant’s passion for education, noting his contributions to youth empowerment through scholarships and schools.
Also paying tribute, the Vice-Chancellor of Trinity University, Prof. C.O.O. Kolawole, commended Olatunji’s visionary leadership. “Through the Trinity Foundation, he has established an elementary school, a globally rated secondary school, and now a tertiary institution Trinity University. His life shows what is possible when a man committed to God pursues a dream with diligence,” Kolawole said.
