On March 29, 2026, Mrs. Josephine Nkemdilim Ezeaja celebrated her 70th birthday at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) House of God Parish in Nyanya, Abuja. This milestone is considered a significant spiritual event, symbolizing fulfilment, wisdom, and the fullness of God’s blessings.
Born in March 1956, Mrs. Ezeaja has dedicated her life to serving God and humanity. Known for her uprightness, she has also worked at the Federal Ministry of Information. During the celebration, she expressed her gratitude, stating, “I thank God for life, serving God is the best thing in my life.

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.
