Founder of House on the Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, has celebrated his 30th wedding anniversary with his wife, Pastor Ifeanyi Adefarasin, with a tribute shared on social media.
The 62-year-old took to Instagram on Tuesday to post photos of the couple, accompanied by a reflective note in which he thanked God for shaping their journey over the past three decades.
He began his tribute with a broader reflection on the meaning of success, saying, “To the world, success is often measured by prominence, ease, and tangible outcomes—the visible fruits of ambition, relentless effort, and societal recognition.
“Yet in the counsel of God, success takes on an altogether different form. It is the quiet becoming of all He designed you to be, the faithful execution of a divine mandate stewarded with integrity, humility, and a heart yielded to His will. It is not so much about what is outwardly accomplished, but who one is inwardly is becoming in alignment with His eternal purpose.”
Pastor Paul continued by honouring those who have stood by them in ministry and life, “Within that sacred context, success as God defines it is a rare and priceless gift to walk life’s journey intimately with a few true hearts who are deeply committed to you, who stand with you and lend strength to the God-ordained causes entrusted to your care…
“‘Through many dangers, toils and snares, we have already come. Twas grace that brought us safe thus far…’ And so, to the faithful warriors who have shared the trenches with us, who have stood shoulder to shoulder through the battles of life and the crucible of calling, I extend my heartfelt gratitude.”
The clergyman ended with a touching message to his wife, “Of notable mention is my fellow soldier and long-standing co-parent, companion in marriage, the wife of my youth and my partner at life; dear Ifeanyi, thank you for being helpmeet through the turns and the transitions.
“Thank you for walking this long road with steadiness and faith, for standing through the 30 years and for remaining present through each unfolding season.
Happy 30th anniversary to you Still Waters.
With love, ‘Deolu.”
Pastor Paul and Ifeanyi Adefarasin got married in 1995.
Their union is blessed with three children: Hilda Adebola, Alvin Adegboyega and Alexander Adekunle.
