The event was marked by references to Psalm 90:12, emphasizing the importance of valuing time and life. Friends and family affectionately refer to her as the “Jewel of Inestimable Value,” highlighting her impact on those around her.

In addition to her birthday celebration, the RCCG is preparing for the 40th anniversary of the Holy Ghost Service, scheduled from March 5th to 8th, 2026. Pastor E.A. Adeboye, who initiated the Holy Ghost Service in March 1986, will lead the anniversary, which has become the largest regular Christian gathering in Africa.

The theme for this anniversary is “Excellence,” with a focus on reflecting the nature of God in all endeavors. The church encourages attendees to plan for the event and remain expectant, with messages such as “The best is yet to come!” resonating throughout the congregation.

This sequence of events underscores the significance of Mrs. Ezeaja’s contributions to her community and the church, as well as the broader impact of the Holy Ghost Service in promoting spiritual growth and unity among Christians in Nigeria and beyond.

As the celebrations continue, the community reflects on the values of faith, service, and excellence that Mrs. Ezeaja embodies, marking her 70th birthday as a testament to a life well-lived.
