and lived their lives literally trusting God. Read
below
"A marriage born out of raw faith in the
Lord alone. We were two years into full
time drama ministry when we married on
this day 28 years ago. I had spent all the
money I had on ministry matters and I
had no more money.
TODAY I REMEMBER THAT IT WAS JUST MAY,
THIS YEAR, WE GOT OUR MARRIAGE
CERTIFICATE FROM A REGISTRY IN IBADAN.
So we married without a Government marriage
Certificate. WHY?
We both went to Ilesha registry to file for the
Marriage Certificate when it was two months to
our wedding, but we did not have the money to
pay for the Registration. We were to pay about
N120 or so, but we did not have the money. So
we told the registry we would come back and we
never went back, because we did not have the
money. therefore, it was the Church Certificate
only we had until May this year, when it was
demanded at an embassy for Visa.
Then, I searched the house and came up the
Church Marriage Certificate, and I then
remember that the Visa Officer would not accept
that. So, I went to a Registry in Ibadan and
secure OUR GOVERNMENT MARRIAGE
CERTIFICATE after 28 years.
The Marriage was born out of deep faith.
I remember it was my Best Man who bought my
Wedding Suit and shirt. May God bless him
wherever he is now. It was my Sister-in-Law
who bought the shoes i wore on my wedding
day. It was a ministry member who gave us
money to sew the Wedding Gown, because we
had already gone to a place where we could rent
the Wedding Gown. It was the money my Sister-
in-Law sent to us I used to deposit for the seats
in our living room. May the Lord bless Sister
Taye, my sister-in-law.
It was my Mama-Sister, (my elder sister) who
got the 3-Room-Flat we married into. she paid
the first year rent. May the Lord ever blessed
MUMMY Felicia Adesiyan. It was my another
elder sister who got the Boys Bridgade that
played for us as we were driving into the
Reception place at Ilesha Grammar School, in a
car that belonged to one of my Cousins.
I remember all the monetary gift given to us on
the Wedding Day were used to pay some
outstanding debts incurred on ministry printings
we made before the wedding and some debts on
the wedding programs. So three days after the
Wedding, we had no money again and the idea
of Honey-Moon never even crossed our mind,
because there was no money to attempt such
luxury.
I REMEMBER, that the following Saturday, our
ministry had a drama ministration in Ilesha, at
the Advertisers for Jesus Christ, Ishokun, Ilesha.
That was a week after our Wedding Day. AND
GLORIA OLUSOLA AND I HAD TO STAND BESIDE
THE ROAD LOOKING FOR A LIFT THAT COULD
CARRY US TO ILESHA.
There was absolutely no money on us, a week
after our wedding, to go to our next drama
ministration. So, I had to walk to my Elder
Sister's house, to ask her for money to travel.
She gave us enough money. God bless Mummy
Adesiyan. We travelled to Ilesha and met the
brethren waiting for us at the venue of
Ministration of our first outreach after wedding.
That was then.....28 Years Ago.
OUR MARRIAGE WAS BORN OUT OF DEEP-
ROOTED FAITH....
But today....the Lord has been Faithful.
Today...the Lord has been wonderful to us.
The Marriage has been fruitful and Productive.
BUT THE JOURNEY OF FAITH HAS NOT
STOPPED SINCE THEN.
THE MARRIAGE THAT WAS BORN OUT OF
FAITH...HAS CONTINUED TO GROW BY FAITH....
WE HAD ALL OUR CHILDREN IN FAITH....
THEY GREW UP AND WENT TO SCHOOLS IN
FAITH....
THEY GRADUATED FROM UNIVERSITIES IN
FAITH.....
AND THEY ARE ON FULL TIME TOGETHER WITH
US IN FAITH.....
ALL THE GLORY BELONG TO JESUS THE
CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, OUR REDEEMER.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US AND CELEBRATE...
GLORIA BAMILOYE, A WOMAN WHO
MARRIED A MAN WHO HAD NOTHING BUT
FAITH....RAW FAITH....
HEBREWS 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He
is, and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him."
