Yesterday, the world celebrated a man whose life and ministry are a testament to God’s faithfulness—Pastor Emmanuel Iren, fondly called Pastey. This man is not just a pastor; he’s a visionary, a generational leader, and a true gift to this world.
If you’ve ever encountered Celebration Church International, you’ll know that it’s not just a church—it’s a whole movement. The vision is loud and clear: A Billion Souls in Ten Thousand Cities. It’s not just a slogan; it’s a mission Pastey carries in his heart every single day. And through his passion and dedication, that vision is becoming reality. Everywhere Celebration Church exists, you see lives transformed, hearts ignited for God, and people on fire for the Gospel.
One of the things that sets Pastey apart is the atmosphere he’s built. This church is filled with love, joy, and excellence. The culture is infectious—you see it in the way members serve, in the passion they exude, and in the unity they share. It’s clear that Pastor Iren has created something truly special.
And let’s talk music. Celebration Church no dey play when it comes to gospel music. Under Pastey’s leadership, some of the most anointed and talented gospel musicians in Nigeria have risen. These are voices that shake Heaven and transform lives here on earth. Every worship session carries a unique fire, and you just know this is the standard of excellence he demands.
But Pastey isn’t just about sermons and songs. This man is a role model in every sense of the word. His life preaches what his lips declare: selflessness, integrity, and purpose. That mantra we all know—“What God cannot do doesn’t exist”—isn’t just a phrase for him; it’s his reality. He’s not just raising a church; he’s raising leaders, impacting nations, and leaving a legacy. From his vision for free schools to the way he pours into young people, you can see that his heart beats for service.
And honestly, we have to say it—our pastor fine! Kai! Handsome no be small, always stepping out in those sharp, clean attires that just command respect. Pastey reminds us that you can love God, serve Him with your whole heart, and still be stylish and confident. It’s no wonder so many people look up to him.
For me, Pastor Emmanuel Iren is not just a preacher or a leader; he’s an inspiration. His humility, his focus, and his unwavering love for Christ are qualities that every believer should emulate. Through him, God is raising a generation of passionate, fearless, and purposeful kingdom citizens.
So today, we celebrate this great man. Thank you, Pastey, for your selflessness, your dedication, and your love for God’s people. You are a father, a teacher, a mentor, and a gift to us all. Happy Birthday, sir. May God continue to take you from glory to glory. You are loved, cherished, and celebrated deeply.
He's truly a God's general and a sound teacher of the gospel....I have been really blessed countless times through his preaching.
He's worth celebrating always ❤️
