By Polycarp Ifeanyi, Onitsha
It was a joyous day on January 4, 2025 when Rev.Ossy Oguaka and wife, Mrs. Nneka Oguaka with friends, relations, and well-wishers went to the altar of Almighty God to appreciate Him for their longevity, love and kindness to their family.
The event began with thanksgiving service at St. Barnabas Anglican Church, Ojoto, Idemili South local government area of Anambra State.
The event also attracted the presence of numerous Anglican priests, business associates, Parishioners amongst other dignitaries who came to pay homage to Rev. Oguaka and his wife for their birthday thanksgiving.
Rev. Oguaka, who is also Anglican Priest while speaking with newsmen during a reception held in his compound immediately after thanksgiving service revealed that what gives long life is avoiding reckless life and living upright life.
He added that longevity is a gift from God, saying that something has to be attached to it for one to actually live long just as he advised whoever wants to live a long life to abstain from evil behavior, worship God with truth and spirit as well as avoid reckless life.
The clergy also urged parents to train and direct their Children in the ways of God so that when they grow up they would not depart from it.
“That has been my advice even whenever I preach in the church, I always tell parents that they must raise their children in the fear of God because it is important” Said Rev. Oguaka.
He thanked God for His faithfulness upon his life and his wife, saying that such is the reason why they went to Church to appreciate God for what He has been doing for them and what He is yet to do for them.
Also speaking, Mrs Nneka Oguaka, said her heart was full of joy especially for God’s blessings upon her Children.
She called on all Mothers to always be meticulous in training their Children especially in the ways of God because they are their future.
She advised mothers,” The way you make your bed, you will sleep on it.Try to correct your Children when they err. It does not mean you hate them, but you teach them the good way to follow. I still do it up till today even to my grandChildren. I tell them not to be carried away by what they see in this life because there is a place we are going. If you don’t train them well, later you will suffer it” Said Mrs Oguaka
” So, I advise every Mother to train her Children especially in the fear of God .Teach them the way to go. It is not going to clubs or places that corrupt them. That is not a way of training Children. Use the word of God. That is the foundation we used to train our Children and they followed it till now” Mrs Oguaka concluded.
Preaching during thanksgiving service, Ven. Vincent Igwebuike said that the family of Rev. Oguaka had reason to thank God.
He praised the Children of Rev. Oguaka for celebrating their parents while they were still alive, saying that Rev. Oguaka patterned his life in a way it pleases God and does things quietly and calmly.
However, Rev. Oguaka in spirit of thanking God announced one million Naira donation on behalf of his family to the Church in support of the 2025 Synod of the Diocese on the Niger which he said Ojoto would be hosting later this year.
Similarly, the Children of Rev. Oguaka presented Toyota Car in appreciation for the solid foundation laid for them by their Parents.
