Beyond Celebration: Five Powerful Lessons from Prophet Joshua and Prophetess Stella Iginla’s Birthday and Outreach
Beyond Celebration: Five Powerful Lessons from Prophet Joshua and Prophetess Stella Iginla’s Birthday and Outreach
What began as a joyful birthday celebration for Prophet Joshua Iginla and Prophetess Stella Iginla in May 2025 blossomed into something far more profound—a spiritual statement, a masterclass in leadership, and a public demonstration of grace, unity, and service. It wasn’t just a date on the calendar; it was a deeply impactful moment that resonated with thousands.
The event, which drew teeming crowds to the massive Champions City of Wonders auditorium in Abuja and trended across social media platforms, transcended mere cakes, candles, or applause. At its core, it unveiled timeless truths that the Body of Christ—and indeed, the world at large—cannot afford to miss. This wasn’t just a party; it was a powerful teaching moment disguised as a celebration.
Here are five transformative lessons gleaned from the Iginlas’ birthday celebration and their impactful outreach to the less privileged:
- Ministry Extends Beyond the Microphone—It Embraces the Masses
In a world where the concept of “ministry” is often mistakenly equated with popularity, large congregations, or eloquent sermons, Iginlas powerfully reminded everyone of what true service embodies. Their post-birthday outreach wasn’t a superficial gesture; it was a genuine expression of compassion. They reached hundreds of widows, orphans, and vulnerable families, extending a tangible hand of support. Bags of food, financial assistance, and heartfelt words of encouragement flowed freely and abundantly. This wasn’t done for the glare of cameras or public acclaim, but rather from a wellspring of profound compassion for those often overlooked.
Lesson: Authentic ministry is not solely about what is proclaimed from the altar or the size of one’s platform; it’s profoundly about what is done in the shadows, in the quiet acts of service that often go unseen. When the forgotten are remembered and cared for, divine remembrance follows, and true impact is made.
- Celebrate Milestones with Meaningful Intent
While many individuals celebrate birthdays with elaborate flair and personal indulgence, few do so with such intentional spiritual focus and purpose as the Iginlas. They didn’t just mark another year; they transformed their personal milestone into a sacred altar of thanksgiving and revival. This wasn’t merely a day to receive gifts and accolades; it was a profound opportunity to give glory back to God for His faithfulness and blessings. Their celebration became a testament to a life lived with purpose.
Lesson: Birthdays should not only mark the passage of age but also serve as a crucial opportunity to measure the depth of one’s impact and spiritual growth. Allow your life events, big or small, to powerfully reflect and reinforce your life’s overarching purpose and commitment to God.
- Their Unity: A Prophetic Blueprint for Ministry and Marriage
One of the most potent and unspoken testimonies of the entire event was not delivered through words, but was rather visibly observed in the seamless interaction between Prophet Joshua and Prophetess Stella. The effortless synergy, mutual respect, and visible love they displayed served as a powerful, prophetic model for couples in ministry and indeed, for any marriage striving for divine purpose. With clear mutual honor, undeniable love, and a shared sense of purpose, they beautifully illustrated that a spiritual partnership does not require one individual to diminish or shrink for the other to shine. Instead, they amplified each other.
Lesson: When a couple is harmoniously aligned in spirit and purpose, operating in visible unity, the kingdom of God advances with undeniable power and effectiveness. Unity within marriage is not merely a virtue; it serves as a formidable and strategic weapon in the arsenal of ministry.
- Leadership is Best Expressed Through Compassion
At the very heart of the Iginlas’ joint celebration was a palpable sense of compassion. The lavishness and joy of the birthday celebration itself were perfectly balanced and matched by the tenderness and sincerity of their outreach efforts. It was a clear and potent reminder that great leaders do not merely command crowds or preach powerful sermons; they deeply touch hearts. Their leadership wasn’t just about influence from the pulpit; it was about genuine care in the community.
Lesson: Compassion is not a weakness, nor is it a secondary attribute of leadership; it is a vital kingdom currency that unlocks divine favor and lasting impact. A heart that genuinely bleeds for others, that feels their pain and responds to their needs, will never experience spiritual or emotional depletion; instead, it will be continually replenished.
- Purpose Outlives Popularity
While their celebration garnered significant media attention and trended across various platforms, the Iginlas unequivocally demonstrated that popularity was not their ultimate goal; purpose was. Every speech delivered, every prayer offered, and every gift exchanged consistently directed people’s attention back to God and His divine agenda. It was a powerful reminder that while influence is valuable, it must always remain subservient to one’s divine assignment and calling. They used their platform not to elevate themselves, but to uplift God.
Lesson: Chase your calling, not just clout. Focus intently on the divine assignment given to you, rather than on fleeting public adoration. When you remain steadfastly focused on your God-given purpose, heaven itself will provide you with the necessary platform and sustained influence to fulfill it.
In Conclusion: A Celebration That Preached!
Prophet Joshua and Prophetess Stella Iginla’s May 2025 birthday was not merely an event; it was a profound and living sermon. It preached love in action, modeled exemplary leadership, and extended boundless mercy to those in need. In a time when spiritual leaders are under more scrutiny and observation than ever before, Iginla powerfully demonstrated what it truly means to lead with both divine power and unwavering purity of heart.
May their impactful example inspire us all to celebrate life’s milestones meaningfully, serve selflessly with genuine compassion, and lead prophetically with integrity and purpose.

Prophet Israel Oladele’s Genesis Global 2025 Harvest of New Dimension seeks to empower 5,000 widows and widowers in Lagos
Prophet Israel Oladele’s Genesis Global 2025 Harvest of New Dimension seeks to empower 5,000 widows and widowers in Lagos
…Hallel Night of Praise comes with high expectations.
The Genesis Global Harvest of New Dimension has arrived. There remains something exceptional and distinctive about the life of this esteemed man of God, Genesis, whose generosity and concern for welfare have set him apart and made him stand out among his peers.
Some may suggest that this is no longer news, as they might perceive it as an annual routine; however, it’s breaking news at our disposal because this year’s harvest of new Dimension is already causing some individuals to think in suspense due to the massive preparation becoming mind-blowing and creating a climax atmosphere.
It is undeniable that Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, fondly referred to as Genesis, hosts an annual Adults Harvest that has become a prominent event, characterized by numerous funfairs and jamborees from the Friday Hallel Night of Praise to the Sunday Harvest of New Dimension Thanksgiving.
Evidently, no harvest has ever been planned in this manner in the history of the CCC Lagos chapter, as Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe has redefined and transformed the doctrine of harvest of CCC through his divine wisdom with his Genesis Global family.
As of the time of filing this report, Prophet Genesis’ media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, has confirmed that all hotels within the Dalemo, Alakuko, Abule Egba to Sango Otta axis have been fully booked due to the arrival of dignitaries from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ondo, Ekiti, Kano, and Kaduna, who have come to celebrate with the prophet of God, resulting in potential difficulties for Lagosians seeking hotel accommodations.
A glimpse from the 2024 Hallel Night of Praise, which suddenly became the talk of the town when Prophet Genesis rode a decorated horse from backstage to the edifice altar, changing the atmosphere and shocking many attendees with this experience reminiscent of Lord Jesus Christ’s ride on a donkey, demonstrating Prophet Genesis’ divine wisdom in incorporating innovative elements into Genesis Global programs.
The 2025 Hallel Night of Praise, slated for Friday, 19 December 2025, at Genesis Global City, Dalemo Alakuko, off Duro Ishola Street, Lagos, is highly anticipated by many.Hallel Night of Praise is a specially designed evening of worship, created to complement the adult harvest, providing an opportunity for thanksgiving and heartfelt praise to God Almighty, who values and responds to fervent and sincere prayers – a fundamental principle that has fostered prayer answers, church growth, and expansion within the Genesis Global community.
Get ready for a night of unbridled praise and worship as Hallel Night of Praise brings together a stellar lineup of gospel artists, featuring the host, Genesis Global Choir, Elijah Daniels, Oyinkansola, Tobi Akuraku, CCioma, Erniola Olusoga, Minister Olalekan, Dare Oxygen, Titilayo Euba, and other anointed ministers of God, all set to create a night of open heavens and intense praise, kicking off at 8pm and going through until dawn.
Prior to this event and as part of this special 2025 harvest of a new dimension, Saturday, the 20th has been designated for Genesis Global Foundation empowerment, where thousands of widows, widowers, elderly men, and women will be empowered by the prophet of God through the Genesis Global Foundation.
The grand finale, taking place on Sunday, 21 December 2025, will be a special Sunday of new dimension harvest of thanksgiving, beginning at 9am promptly with various spiritual activities and prophetic declarations.
A statement from Prophet Israel Genesis’ media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, confirmed that the harvest committee has made comprehensive arrangements to cater to the needs of all international dignitaries and attendees, with the welfare of individuals being paramount, alongside provisions for maximum security within Genesis Global City and its surroundings. In addition, this power pack program will feature an awards and recognition segment, where the elderly and widows, and widowers will receive cash grants and food items, and others will receive food items to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
The statement cited Prophet Genesis, who articulated that the motivation behind this initiative is to empower a multitude of vulnerable individuals without the means to participate in the celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth, while also ensuring their basic needs are met.
According to Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe, also known as Genesis, in a statement to his media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, the Genesis Global Church Annual Harvest is a time for people to express gratitude to God for a fruitful year at Genesis Global City, and also a time for people to experience God’s power, as testified by previous celebrations.
He further encourages individuals to experience the transformative power of God, as past events have demonstrated that it is an opportunity not only to celebrate but also to witness breakthroughs, divine encounters, and new opportunities. Save the date for the Hallel Night of Praise, from Friday, 19th to Sunday, 21st December 2025.
Why I took a break from music— Denny Zee
Upwardly mobile afrobeats sensation, Denny Zee has explained the reason behind his short break from the music scene. For almost two years, the Epe, Lagos born singer, songwriter and producer had been off the scene, but he’s currently back with a new cut titled ‘Werk’.
Denny Zee described ‘Werk’ as a piece of art that will surpass the records of his previous hits -‘Joh’, ‘Bana,’ and ‘Tender’.
Formerly signed to Nuul Gang, a Sweden-based record label owned by an international DJ, Denny Zee’s career took on a global outlook through collaborations and international releases that expanded his artistic reach.
”I took the short break to strategize, and now I’m stepping into a new era of rebranding, redefining my identity and sound. My upcoming projects — including new singles and a highly anticipated EP — promises a richer, bolder expression of my message: joy, hustle, struggle, resilience, and the unapologetic pursuit of dreams, wrapped in the allure of a confident, charismatic artist who isn’t afraid to show both his strength and sensuality,” Denny Zee said.
He added that “I’m presently standing at the intersection of soul and sound — a singer, songwriter, and producer shaping the next wave of Afro music with authenticity, creativity, and unshakable drive. Open to collaboration and new sonic adventures. I’m not just chasing success, I’m building a legacy, one record at a time.”
Raised in the heart of Lagos, Denny Zee’s journey began as a young dreamer determined to channel the storm inside him. With the support of his musically inclined brothers, he found direction and discipline, transforming raw passion into a craft. What started in local studios has since grown into an artistic identity that bridges continents and generations.
Denny Zee’s sound is an intoxicating blend of Afrobeat, Afrofusion, Afroswing, and Reggaeton, laced with R&B and Soul. It’s music that grooves and moves, but also speaks — balancing rhythm with reflection. His influences — Fela Kuti, Shabba Ranks, Sean Paul, Wande Coal, Burna Boy, and Wizkid — helped shape his sound, but his individuality gives it a modern heartbeat uniquely his.
As both a songwriter and producer, Denny Zee’s artistry goes beyond his own discography. He has written and produced numerous songs, collaborating with major artists including Rude Boy of the legendary P-Square duo and the Afrobeat duo Bracket, among others. His creative fingerprint runs deep across the industry — blending storytelling, melody, and emotion with precision and authenticity.
