In his testimony, Ejogharado said he was born on 25th of June, 1943, saying he decided to celebrate his 77th year birthday when he found out that most of his mates were already dead and others were suffering from chronic diseases.
He stated further that he had experienced a lot of fatal accidents which led to lost of his friends and co-passengers but God saved him.
Earlier on in his sermon titled: “Unity in Christ” during the thanksgiving, Bishop Blessing Erifeta, Bishop of Sapele Anglican Diocese said longevity is of the lord.
The celebrator assisted by guests to cut the birthday cake.
He said the issue of longevity is between you and the lord to settle. “If you want to live long, go to God for it. The words of our mouth determines the length of our life”.
“We shouldn’t allow the devil to shut our life. Your enjoyment of longevity is based on your faith in God”, he noted.
