Obey @ 83 celebrates God’s faithfulness

With the theme: “Celebrating God’s Faithfulness: Ebenezer Obey at 83 and Celebrating 68 Years as a Successful, World-Acclaimed Musician”, the event will feature prayers for national peace and blessings for all. The celebration will be held at Decross Gospel Mission, Headquarters of Praise, 13/15 Oyewole Road, Mulero Bus Stop, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos.

According to a press statement signed by the General Manager of Obey Music Group, Mr Tunji Odunmbaku, Obey expressed his gratitude to God for his successful music career, spanning 68 years, and for his good health despite facing several health challenges.

Emphasizing his desire to stay close to God and express his appreciation for the special grace in his life and career, Obey opted not to host a grand birthday party, instead, express gratitude to God through a thanksgiving service.

He said, “The scripture in Psalm 136:1 says: ‘Give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever.’ I have been a successful musician and one of the leading artistes for 68 years now, taking my music to the four corners of the world. Despite facing some health challenges and undergoing several surgical operations, God has granted me victory over them all.”

“I thank God for remaining relevant in my music career and for being able to perform alongside my devotion to the work of God. Honestly, I have experienced it all, and I cannot thank God enough for the special and unique grace in my life and career.

“My sole aim now is to express my gratitude to God and stay close to Him to the end. I truly feel fulfilled. I want all my friends, fans and well-wishers to join me in appreciating God as I turn 83 and celebrate 68 years as a successful, world-acclaimed musician,” Obey added.
