Paul Adefarasin of House on the Rock Church celebrates wife on their 30th wedding anniversary

Founder of House on the Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, has marked his 30th wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Ifeanyi, reflecting on their journey together and the deeper meaning of success through the lens of faith.

In a public letter the cleric shared on his X handle, he offered a stirring reflection on the true nature of success, not as defined by worldly accomplishments, fame, or accolades, but as a faithful walk in alignment with God’s purpose.

In a deeply personal note, he paid special tribute to his wife, Ifeanyi, whom he described as his “co-parent, companion in marriage, the wife of my youth and my partner at life.”

The letter reads:

“Dear Ifeanyi,

“To the world, success is often measured by prominence, ease, and tangible outcomes—the visible fruits of ambition, relentless effort, and societal recognition.

“Yet in the counsel of God, success takes on an altogether different form. It is the quiet becoming of all He designed you to be, the faithful execution of a divine mandate stewarded with integrity, humility, and a heart yielded to His will. It is not so much about what is outwardly accomplished, but who one is inwardly is becoming in alignment with His eternal purpose.

“Within that sacred context, success as God defines it is a rare and priceless gift to walk life’s journey intimately with a few true hearts who are deeply committed to you, who stand with you and lend strength to the God-ordained causes entrusted to your care. They are real Disciples of Christ. These are the ones who labour with you in your service to the God you honour, the people you shepherd, and the generational destiny divinely assigned to you and your house.

“…Through many dangers, toils and snares, we have already come. Twas grace that brought us safe thus far…” And so, to the faithful warriors who have shared the trenches with us, who have stood shoulder to shoulder through the battles of life and the crucible of calling, I extend my heartfelt gratitude.

“Of notable mention is my fellow soldier and long-standing co-parent, companion in marriage, the wife of my youth and my partner at life; dear Ifeanyi, thank you for being a helpmeet through the turns and the transitions. Thank you for walking this long road with steadiness and faith, for standing through the 30 years and for remaining present through each unfolding season.

“Happy 30th anniversary to you, Still Waters.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
