astor Sanusi was born November 1953 into a Muslim Family of late Olabinjo Musari Sanusi and Mary SANUSI (nĂŠe EROGBOGBO) both of Ikorodu, Lagos State Nigeria. He went to a Muslim Secondary School- Jibril Martin Ahmadiyya Grammar School in Lagos, Nigeria, where he graduated in 1971.

He worked briefly at the Nigerian Ports Authority Apapa, Lagos before proceeding to College, to study Accountancy. In 1973 he went for his associate degree and was a pioneering student (1973 to 1975), and then to the Polytechnic in Calabar, Nigeria (now University of Technology Calabar). He then attended the Polytechnic in Ibadan for his Bachelors in Accountancy between 1976-1978. In both colleges, he came out with second class upper division. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1982 and became a Fellow of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in 1993. He worked with UTC Nig. PLC from 1978 to 1986 in both Accounting and Auditing Departments before moving to the Banking Industry. Because of his versatility, Pastor Sanusi served in various departments of the Bank ranging from Investment Banking, Treasury, Corporate Development, Human Resources, Credit Risk Management, etc. He left the Bank in 1995 to set up his practice which was successfully run until 1997 when he relocated to Houston, Texas. In Houston, he worked briefly with Houston Business Development Corporation in the Credit Department before he went into full time ministry. God spoke to him in the restroom of the company that He did not bring him to the United States for secular job. You have done enough, He said. He got married in 1979 to Pastor Modupe Sanusi and the wedlock is blessed with a girl, Esther Peculiar Sanusi. Pastor Sanusi gave his life to Jesus while in the College in February 1974. Prior to this time, he was a very tough
boy, a rascal you don’t want to confront. However, the light of God in the young, well behaved, God fearing boys and girls on the College Campus attracted him into the Christian Fellowship where he gave his life to Christ, without any body preaching to him. God did the work by Himself. To Him alone be the glory. He joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God in 1981 and he went through all the trainings in the Mission including Bible College where he did a post graduate Diploma in theology. He was an Area Pastor in Nigeria before relocating to the United States. In the United States he rose to the rank of Parish Pastor, Area Pastor, Zonal Coordinator, and then Provincial Pastor. He is the Provincial Pastor with The Redeemed Christian Church of God North America and the preceding pastor over RCCG Restoration Chapel in Houston. He loves to play table tennis and in the past, soccer but now he is an avid fan of the sport. Pastor Sanusi believes in taking care of one’s health according to biblical injunction, which incidentally agrees with science. His passion for health is the inspiration behind his book titled “Take Charge of Your Health.” The book has been a blessing to many, and helped people take charge of their health. He is a well-disciplined, compassionate, quiet, and a thorough Pastor. As a leader he is respected and loved by all those who love the truth. Many have found joy and deliverance in his uprightness and sound teachings of the balanced word of God.•

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. ― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

Funny Stuff About Turning 60
TURNING 60 MEANS:
* Your favorite station on cable is the Weather Channel. * People call you “spry” and you’re not offended. * You know your way around but you don’t want to go anywhere. * The candles on your cake set off the sprinkler s ystem. * You still miss your first car, but you can’t remember your classmates. * You start wondering who that old man is looking in your window and realize you’re standing in front of the mirror. * You used to make fun of adult diaper commercials, and now you’re clipping coupons for them “just in case.” * You look back fondly at your 40th birthday and laugh at all the trauma you felt about getting so old. * Kidnappers are not very interested in you. * In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first. * No one expects you to run into a burning building. * People call at 7 PM and ask, ‘Did I wake you?’ * There is nothing left to learn the hard way. * Things you buy now won’t wear out. * You get special discounts everywhere you go! * You get into heated arguments about pension plans. * You have a party and the neighbors don’t even realize it. * You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge. * You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room. * You sing along with elevator music. * Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. * Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them either. * You’ve eventually reached the point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it. * The older you get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. * Congrats, you’re 60! Time to start yelling at the television.

1. Inside every older person is a younger person - wondering what happened. 2. Looking fifty is great if you’re sixty. 3. Be kind to your daughter, she will choose your nursing home one day. 4. Sixty! Now is the time to make your mark on the world – explore the Antarctic or become an astronaut. Make your mind up to take on exciting new challenges - straight after your afternoon nap 5. Your sixties is the stage in your life when you become mature, reliable and dependable. In other words, boring, predictable and conventional. 6. Don’t give up enthusiasm for life just because you’ve reached the grand age of sixty 7. Do something outrageous and crazy – take up fly tying or stamp collecting. We’ve also arranged for a fire-tender to put out the candles should you be unable to blow them out.
