The spiritual tone of the day was enriched by the sermon delivered by Pastor Ola Peters, who drew lessons from the Book of John, chapter 2, verses 1-10—the story of Jesus performing His first miracle at the wedding in Cana.
Pastor Peters recounted how Jesus turned water into wine, saving the couple from embarrassment and blessing their union.
He encouraged Shiloh and Ehizogie to remember that God would always show up in their lives, even when challenges arose, offering miracles of joy, forgiveness, and abundance throughout their marriage.
“Whenever they need guidance or miracles, God will be there, just as He was on the first day. That is the assurance of faith and the foundation of a marriage rooted in God”, he said.
Speaking with mixed emotions, Apostle Dr. Bolaji O. Akinyemi, expressed joy and nostalgia. “It is one of the happiest moments of my life,” he said.
“Seeing my little Shiloh grew to become a woman and being alive to give her hand in marriage is a father’s greatest privilege. But of course, I will miss her dearly.”
Reflecting on his daughter’s personality, he added, “Shiloh is down-to-earth, faithful, and has a remarkable love for learning.
“At home, we call her ‘Bookworm’ because of her dedication to study and reading. She is also an accomplished writer, having been published in one of Nigeria’s leading newspapers even before I was.”
The apostle described marriage as a continuation of stewardship. “Every form of leadership is designed by God to be a stewardship.
“As a father, I am a steward over my children. As a husband, Ehizogie is now a steward over his wife and future family. Today, we celebrate the faithful stewardship God has entrusted to us”, he concluded.
