In a profound expression of love, gratitude, and spirituality, Hon. Mark Okpanachi Ogah began the birthday celebration of his beloved wife, Mrs. Patricia Ifeyinwa Ogah, with an early morning praise and worship session at exactly 6:05 AM.
The early morning devotion was not just symbolic but deeply meaningful — setting the tone for a day of thanksgiving and reflection. Family members, friends, and close associates joined the couple in lifting their voices in heartfelt worship, thanking God for the gift of life and the blessings surrounding the celebrant.
Speaking during the session, Hon. Ogah shared,
“Patricia is not only my wife; she is my strength, my peace, and my answered prayer. As she marks another year today, it’s only right we begin at the feet of the Almighty, who has kept and preserved her.”
With soft gospel hymns, prayer declarations, and short scriptural reflections, the celebration transcended the usual fanfare — emphasizing the couple’s strong spiritual bond and family values. The mood was joyful, reverent, and emotionally rich, as tears of gratitude mingled with songs of praise.
Mrs. Patricia Ifeyinwa Ogah, moved by the beautiful gesture, said:
> “I’m overwhelmed with joy. Beginning my birthday at 6:05 AM in God’s presence is the best gift I could ask for. I thank God for my husband and everyone who woke up early just to worship with me.”
As the day unfolds, more activities are expected to follow, but this early morning act of spiritual devotion remains the soul of the celebration — a reminder that when love is rooted in faith, every milestone becomes a moment of divine encounter.
