“It doesn’t have to be a something huge but like a carton of biscuit as a mark of showing love and I believe as we do so, the good Lord will continue to bless us.
“I have been doing this for over 20 years and I have seen the blessings and my labour of love has not gone in vain. If we can bless these children, the good Lord will bless our children wherever they go”, she stated.

Rev. Oyetunji observed that there were always horns that placed on children’s ways causing them stagnation, frustration and negative things capable of denying them breakthrough in life but assured that steadfast prayers of parents always destroy such horns.
She pointed out that there were always places prepared in the wilderness and horns on the way pointing out that whoever pray faithfully unto God would always overcome all forces of darkness because with God nothing shall be impossible.
