Joy and celebration have continued to pour in for the Lead Pastor of The LifeWord Church (TLC), Pastor Cylars Omoloye, following the birth of his baby boy after 13 years of marriage and years of waiting for the fruit of the womb.

The cleric shared the emotional testimony on Tuesday, May 5, describing the arrival of the child as a powerful demonstration of God’s faithfulness and a reward for unwavering faith, prayers, and perseverance.

Pastor Omoloye, who leads the Ibadan-based ministry, reflected on the difficult journey he and his wife, Grace Omoloye, endured over the years while trusting God for a child.

According to him, the 13-year wait was marked by “prayers, tears, silence, and hope” as the couple continued to hold firmly to their faith despite moments of pain and discouragement.

“Many may never understand the weight of waiting until they have waited,” the pastor said while recounting the emotional burden they silently carried throughout the years

He noted that despite their personal struggles, they remained committed to ministry work, counselling, praying for others, and encouraging people facing challenges of their own.

In an emotional declaration that has since touched many across social media, Pastor Omoloye said: “After 13 years, God placed a baby boy in our arms. Our cry became a child, our waiting became a testimony, and our pain became praise.”

The testimony has attracted widespread reactions from Christians and well-wishers across Nigeria, many describing the birth as inspiring and a reminder that faith and perseverance can triumph over seasons of delay.

Pastor Omoloye is widely known for his emphasis on prayer, prophetic ministry, and Christian leadership development through The LifeWord Church (TLC). The ministry is focused on raising Christ-centred leaders and advancing kingdom values.

Beyond the pulpit, the cleric maintains an active presence on social media, where he shares teachings, prayer sessions, and virtual ministrations with followers within and outside Nigeria.

The birth of the child comes shortly after the couple marked their 13th wedding anniversary, making the moment even more symbolic for family members, friends, and church members who had followed their journey over the years.

For many believers, the testimony has become more than a personal celebration. It now stands as a story of hope, endurance, and steadfast trust in God during difficult seasons.

“Only God can do this,” the pastor added. (Sunday Tribune)
