So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Tribute To MyWife
W
hat can I say but to thank God Almighty for providing me a virtuous woman for a wife. The Bible says in Proverbs 31: 10 – 12 A good wife is far more precious than rubies, the heart of her husband safely trusts in her and he will have no need of a spoil. She will do her husband good and no harm all the days of her life. This is a tribute to you my dearest darling wife, you are a woman of strong character, great wisdom, many skills, great compassion, hardworking, has the fear of God, cares for others and has great respect for people. In spite of your God endowed beauty you are still well composed and simple in your interactions. You are a wife, Mother, sister, friend and adviser to me at all times. BJ you are a composite portrait of the ideal woman. You are an inestimable jewel. I have said it many times and I am saying it for the umpteenth time that if I have to do it all over, I will say I do again. I remember the first day I set my eyes on you God told me “that is your wife” I have not had any reason to regret it. As you celebrate your golden jubilee I say ‘Happy Birthday my darling many happy returns of the Day, God will continue to bless you with the Wisdom of Solomon. By the grace of Almighty God we shall live to see our great grandchildren and beyond.’ Amen. Dr BABAJIDE O.OLUTIMEHIN

MY DEAR MOTHER!
M
y dear mother , there are not enough words to say thank you for all the great things you have done for me and our family. All your hardwork and perseverance has paid off. You have done extremely well as a mother, a wife, a teacher, our house pastor LoL, our prayer leader and our best friend. Your words of encouragement have helped to mold and shape me to be the woman that I have become. I want to say thank you for your patience and kindness. I hope to be half as great as you are when I grow up. LUV YA MOM, from Yejide Olutimehin AKA Yejus pepper!

STRONG WOMAN I KNOW
y mother has always been the strongest woman I know. Growing up, I watched her persevere through long nights of work and studying. I remember constantly hearing the words “residency” and “on call”, and I didn’t know what they meant. All I knew was that they were the reason why my mother was always busy. I never understood why she worked so hard all the time, but now that I’m older, I know. My mother worked so hard all of these years because she wanted to be the best mother she could be and provide for her family as best as she could. If it wasn’t for all of her sacrifices, sleepless nights, and perseverance, I wouldn’t be who I am, or where I am today. Her unwaivering strength and courage is still to this day more than I can understand, but without a doubt she is a constant reminder that I can do anything I put my mind to. Because of her, I know there is no such thing as “too difficult”. People often say that I am a carbon copy of her, because we look alike. Most daughters would probably become annoyed of hearing such a comment so often, but not me. I am so thankful to be the child of such a wonderful, strong woman and I can only dream to be as successful and determined as she is when I grow up and am left to pursue my own destiny. Happy birthday mummy, I love you so much! - Angie

What is the definition of a mother?
nurturer, a giver, a supporter, a role model. Someone who is always there to protect and provide guidance as needed. Many fond memories of my childhood are closely intertwined with my mother’s presence. It feels like just yesterday when I would follow my mom to the market to get my hair braided for the school week. Mommy always made sure to spare some naira and kobo so I could stop at the candy store and pick my treat of choice. I also remember her presence during times of growing pains-she was there to hold me as I struggled through learning basic mathematics, and my frustration due to my grades. She was also there to encourage me to keep trying my best, and God would take care of the rest. My mother’s giving nature is a trait that has been instilled in me, as well as my siblings. When I was away at college in Pittsburgh, my mom would overnight packages of Nigerian food, composed of all my favorites, from meat pie to plantain. She not only cared for me, but took great care of my friends, and invested in their education and success as well. My mother truly lives by the biblical notion, “Give and it will come back to you, in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over.” s a physician who endured the challenges involved in returning to her profession within the United States, my mother has always been a role model of success and achievement. She didn’t just tell me to persevere, but showed me how to persevere with her many nights of burning the midnight oil. By pursuing multiple higher level degrees, she instilled in me the value of an education and its primary importance in one’s life. By enduring a challenging residency with multiple children to care for, she demonstrated that a woman can successfully hold multiple roles simultaneously, and still carry a Christ-centered home. She is the perfect example of a Proverbs 31 woman, who “ teaches her children the ways of her Father in heaven. She nurtures her children with the love of Christ, disciplines them with care and wisdom, and trains them in the way they should go.” In a nutshell, my mother is a SUPERWOMAN. She has always been able to balance the demands of work and home so graciously, while ensuring that everyone’s needs were met. I can only hope to carry a home like hers in the future, while making such a positive impact on so many lives. HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MOMMY! ABIMBOLA OLUTIMEHIN

Tribute to our dear niece on her
Birthday
It gives us so much joy to write this tribute to our favorite niece. Fifty years ago, God gave us a wonderful niece and then began a beautiful bonding. You grew up to be a fine, thoughtful and focused woman. We watched as you maintained balance and maturity in all things, graduated as a medical doctor, and married your heart throb, Jide Olutimehin, our beloved “Father Abraham”. Bonje, as we fondly call you, you have been many things to us…a friend in times of need, and a worthy burden bearer even beyond expectation. Then, you keep giving and sharing your life with others. We can never forget the good things you have done in our lives and your intense desire to ensure that we came and lived optimally in Houston. Your efforts, your caring, and your sincere prayers when we faced challenges can only be rewarded by God. You love family, always desiring to have us around you. We thank the Lord for your life. You have been a source of inspiration to many others by your dogged resolve to excel in life. You are a good example of what absolute faith in God through His son Jesus, and hard work can do. You are a wonderful niece in all respect…loving, kind and generous beyond the norm. Our prayer is that the Almighty God that you love and serve will continue to avail for you. He will continue to perfect all that concerns you. He will shield you and your family with His fence of iron and no evil, we repeat, no evil will come near you. As your years so shall your strength be in Jesus Name. Just as your birth was good news, you will continue to be good news in all of life’s endeavors. You will never be embarrassed in your profession and your expectations over all your children will never be cut off. All the prayers we have said over you and your family will continue to unfold in joyful manifestations and you will never be put to shame. The number of your days, God will fulfill. Bonje, we love you. Receive more grace and strength in Jesus Mighty Name!

Tribute to Dr. Mrs. Bolaji Olutimehin on her 50th birthday celebration:
ow wonderful and refreshing it is to be writing a tribute about someone in their lifetime. Dr. Mrs. Bolaji Olutimehin, as I quietly reflet on her, is someone I always rated as a “rare breed”. I consider her a complete epitome of God’s marvelous works on mankind. I mean an “all-rounder”. Heaven directed the paths of this great woman into my family some years back, and ever since, the joy of knowing her and her family has increased in leaps and bounds. Life is not measured by how highly we rise in life or how much we aquired, but the yardstick for measuring a fulfilled life is by how many lives we have touched positively while here on earth. Mrs. Olutimehin, a rare gem, has touched many lives to the admiration and testimony of several. Some of Mrs. Olutimehin’s great and challenging attributes are extreme selflessness and outstanding generosity. That she is very compassionate is an understatement, and this does not necessarily have to do with her professional calling, but her own real nature. She has a unique sense of beauty, creativity, organization and her energy level is remarkable, preventing a dull moment with her. Mrs Bolaji Olutimehin is generous with her time, professional ideas, financial and moral support at every prompting by her maker. She makes beautiful effort to obey God’s commandment which directs us to “love our neighbors as ourselves.” It is obvious then, why the good Lord rewarded her with a wonderful husband and lovely children. It is also amazing how someone can run a busy job schedule, fulfill her role as a wife and mother with passion, radiate such beauty, joy, and intelligence and still dispense so much sacrificial and humane deeds to fellow human beings. Many do not know why hundreds are out the honor the event. However, the Kuforiji family join others in acknowledging that you have sowed greatness and surely you must reap celebration. Happy Birthday!! Happy Celebration!!
- Mrs Elizabeth Kuforiji

TRIBUTE TO MY SISTER – DR (MRS) HELEN OMO
I
n the year 2003, I was sent by my sister to the University of Lagos to collect some documents for her,the University official then asked me, what is your relationship with Dr. Omobolaji Olutimehin ?, known in his records as Helen Omobolaji Ogunkeye...I said to him , she is my sister and Mother,he was confused and he demanded an explanation ....which is quite simple...I said to him ,My Mother died when i was 11 years old and Helen Omobolaji Olutimehin ,my sister has been mothering me since then...he nodded in acknowledgement and quickly instructed that my request be granted . My Sister Bolaji was born to the duo of George .Adekanbi Ogunkeye and Stephania Adetutu Ogunkeye. Our parents were very loving people and our mum was known to be a great giver ,i guess this is where the seed of beign a giver came from while our Dad was known to be a good Man..very Loving , Fiercely Loyal to his children and Easy going. My Sister had a special place with them ,because she was not only their first born child, she was very brilliant in school ,so in my early years her record was the benchmark to beat.Everyone liked her,from my fathers friends like Mr Erewa ,who take turns to go and pick their children in school and so get to see all their results including my sister bolajis which was always excellent,to our Uncle Lai Amoje..the list is endless.. Sometime in 1974 or thereabout ,I remember me and my sister going to Liberty Road from Bodija in Ibadan by Bus (Danfo) and as we were disembarking at Dugbe , the sliding door of the bus nearly caught my hand ...i was 9 and she was 13..she quickly rescued me and exclaimed ,do you want Mummy to be angry with me?.. This is the genesis of my relationship with her as a senior sister.it started with our mother Mrs Stephania Adetutu Ogunkeye.Mummy had a lot of confidence in my sister and kind of made it clear that as the First Born , she is expected to take care of her siblings ..something like putting her in charge and expecting her to act on her behalf. I do not know how she did it ,but Mummy managed to train a 15 year old to act on her behalf .As if she knew ,she would soon pass on .
O
n the 26th of October ,1976 ,I got a visitor in school and the Long and short of that visit was to inform me that our mum was involved in an accident and my Dad who came to visit me in school was on his way to Comprehensive High School Aiyetoro to pick my Sister Bolaji. That Night ,we were informed that Mummy had died in the aforesaid accident.As an only son,and greatly beloved of my mother ,my world came crashing down .it was difficult to comprehend as i have never seen someone die..i was 11 years old and my Sister Bolaji, was 15 yeras old. The things that we went through together can better be imagined...Here was a child at 15 years old taking care of four siblings and she is to do this without an income, an accommodation , and little or no resources...But i tell you ,by the Grace of God ...she did it ... I remember a particular challenge we had in 1976 ,we just cried together as that was all we could do. If she came home for any reason from school,she will come and visit me in GCI .This was such a big deal as Mummy never made it for my 1st visiting day and i seldom get visited so i never looked forward to visiting day

OBOLAJI OLUTIMEHIN ON HER 50TH BIRTHDAY. cause nobody came except my sister bolaji. One day in 1979,while in the boarding house , i lost the exam fees of a senior boy and the fellow insited that i must pay..i had no where to go..i found my way to the Polytechnic Ibadan where the only person i knew could help me at such a time was...i asked to see my sister Bolaji..she gave me the money and i left back for school....this kind of scenario played out in my life severally and the result was the same..my sister saw to it that i was ok,it is the same for all four of us...when my junior sister went missing ,it was sister bolaji that went and looked for her and found her..i can go on and on .when it was time to go to school or get an accommodation or get married,i knew nothing about the arrangements but just as if Mummy was alive ,Sister Bolaji acted for her and put everything together. Mine was a hard and tough road as my Mothers death left such a big hole and void ..but God had an angel in the wings that would share my grief and help with whatever she could ,even though she was also a child and had little or nothing..When I get into trouble in school ,i had one person that will not leave my back and made sure i got back on track..my sister Bolaji..
A
fter Mummy’s death, we were scattered all over, I was at Ijaoyestreet Jibowu,my sister Funlola was at Mushin while my younger sisters Debisi and Oyeyemi were at Surulere...I remember clearly a day that someone came to get me at a nearby house where i went to play saying i have a visitor..i went back and met my sister Bolaji seated at the back of the house waiting to see me. She explained that she had come to see about my welfare and was on her way to mushin to see Funlola and will procede to surulere to see Debisi and Oyeyemi. This was the story of Tutus Children..Bolaji ,always led and took care of her younger ones . When I started working, i had an official accommodation but later i fell out with my boss,and so i moved to my sisters place from where i moved to my own accommodation and got married.
There was in fact a time when four of us were staying with her and her wonderfull husband. To the Glory of God, my sister has always been there for me and up till now..she still shops for me ,my wife and four children amongst many other things..she is exceptional..she is Gods gift to us..she has successfully mothered all of us and is still acting for Mummy till date. I really can not remember ever asking for something and not getting it from my sister Bolaji.she always did her best to see to it that i get what i want ..spiritually and physically. All my Life, my sister has been there for me and i know that He who is more than enough will continue to water her in return for watering me and all her siblings in Jesus name. With Long Life will God Almighty satisfy her and continually show her His Salvation in Jesus name.
T
he Lord will grant her hearts desires and perfect all that concerns her in Jesus name. The Lord will cause His Blessing to work for her ,her husband and children in Jesus name. Many ,Many Happy Returns in Jesus name. IGBA ODUN ,ODUN KAN LORUKO JESU (That is 200 years will be like one year in Jesus name) This is a royal Blessing as Dr.Mrs .Helen .Omobolaji.Olutimehin is from the Royal Family of ILE ALAAWE in AWE ,OYO STATE OF NIGERIA .

Tribute Trust and support, and a faithful friend are strong defenses: For he that hath found such a one hath found a treasure. Ecclesiastes 6:14 Experiences and lessons learned have shown me that Dr. O. is a faithful friend and a treasure. Looking back makes me smile, and it’s such a pleasure for my family to pay you tribute on your 50th birthday. As a family, we can’t express how much we respect and admire your person, your generosity, your ingenuity, your hospitality, your warmth, your honesty, your integrity, your flexibility, your hard work, and zest for life. The truth is....life is a gift from God and it’s not a mistake that you were born in this generation, on this day, when you were born, the sky was filled, with stars adorn because He knew you before He formed you in your mother’s womb and before you were born, He set you apart and appointed you as a leader to the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5). Dr. O. is a woman of substance who is consistent, who has more to her than meets the eye, who possesses a depth of strong character, who has a variety of interests outside and within her home and family, who conducts herself with patience. Even when her life, job, friends, children or husband drive her crazy, she knows that it is better to respond with patience than to react in anger. Dr. O. is a woman of virtue, excellence and substance. May the LORD bless and keep you; may He make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; and may He turn his face towards you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26. We pray that your birthday never ends, and in our hearts, you are a true friend that is hard to find. Happy birthday, our precious friend Mr. & Mrs. Bello

Tribute It is indeed a great pleasure to write a note to congratulate a sister, friend, and a destiny helper for reaching 50 with dignity. Dr. Omobolaji Olutimehin fondly referred to as Dr O, a humane woman of substance, an icon of excellence and a lover of humanity. Though a gifted medical doctor by profession, but God has a different plan and purpose for her to be a helper of destiny (Proverbs 18:16) – “A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men”. God uniquely gifted you to serve the body of Christ with your talent. The body of Christ appreciate you for always being there for us all. Thank you ma! And thank God for your life. We met your family a couple of years back and little did we know that by fate or destiny your family will not only become a good friend but a caring family to mine. You are a source of inspiration to many of us and your light shall continue to shine till the perfect day of the Lord. On this occasion of your 50th birthday we celebrate the 50 years you have lived and we wish you many more to come in good health and abundance. There shall not only be showers of blessing on your family but also showers of advantage. On behalf of my wife Bukky and my lovely children Damilola, Ayomide and Gbenga, I wish Dr. Omobolaji Olutimehin a happy 50th birthday and many beautiful returns of the day as you aim for a century. Happy birthday and lots of love Elder and Mrs Edward Oluwo

Welcome to Jubillee!
Dr. & Dr. Mrs. Babajide & Omobola Olutimehin are such a blessing to our family. She is very dependable, reliable, a rare gem and has a golden heart. She is indeed a Proverbs 31 woman, a virtuous wife and a mother in Israel per excellence. Dr. Olutimehin is ageless, timeless and always elegant. Her smile and her beauty always fills the room. She is indeed a woman of character, strength, kindness, a hard worker, full of dignity and a woman that fears the Lord. Charm is deceitful, beauty is passing, but the woman that fears the Lord shall be praised. We decree that you shall be praised and live in divine favor all the days of your life, In Jesus name, Amen. We celebrate God’s goodness, faithfulness, strength and blessings in your life. We thank the Almighty God for the past fifty years and decree that the next fifty years will be better and full of breakthroughs, blessings, increase, promotion, fineness, excellence and favor. We love your family and congratulate you on this joyous 50th birthday celebration. We pray that you will live to over eighty years old in divine health, joy, peace and wealth, in Jesus name, Amen! We boldly declare over your life that the best is yet to come, in Jesus name, Amen!

The Lighthouse
TRIBUTE TO DR. OLUTIMEHIN
I
would like to take this opportunity to appreciate God in the life of Dr. Olutimehin on this great occasion. I have known her for a while now and since then I have discovered so many things in which I can mention a few: - She is a God fearing woman - She has a leadership spirit and I know she is a Deborah of our time. - Dr. Olutimehin is a good mother; not only to her children but also to many children of God. - She is a woman of peace and also a lifter in which hundreds have benefited from.
- Although she is a medical doctor, she has a healing ministry in the body of Christ as her counsel has healed many broken hearts. I see the grace of God upon her life and I thank God that she has always maintained her integrity. I would like to describe her in this poem by Geraldine Henein: The hands that give to those in need The heart that loves in faith and deed The voice that speaks the truth decrees These are angels among us. The common cause to help all those Whether they be friends or foes The compassion for all so lovingly grows These are angels among us. The forgetting of self to the service to others The knowledge we are all sisters and brothers The extra mile is the distance they cover
16|
Theses are angels among us. The Christ-like spirit to demonstrate The limitless love from God so great The disciple who walks so humble and straight These are angels among us. er impact to her family and community cannot be quantified. She is a humble, courteous and respectful person. The bible says in the book of proverbs 31:10 that “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” Dr. Olutimehin is a virtuous woman, a real jewel among women. I pray that the Lord will continue to use her as His angel to bring His purpose to pass in people’s lives. Please join me in appreciating and recognizing what God has done and is doing in her life. I wish her a happy birthday, long life and prosperity. Apostle Matthew Oluwajoba General Overseer, Christ United Ministries Int’l

Hymn 1 Great is Thy faithfulness “Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. Refrain “Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Refrain
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! Refrain “Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Hymn 2 O Lord my God O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Refrain Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze. Refrain
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. Refrain
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!”
