The man of God revealed that he had never celebrated his birthday and vowed never to do so in his entire life. Instead, he believed that the next generation would celebrate him when he eventually passed away, provided he lived a life of great significance. He also drew a parallel to the celebrations of the birth and death of Jesus Christ. “That is why we celebrate the birth and the death of Jesus Christ. Have you ever heard me celebrating my birthday? You won’t hear me. Those who will come after me will be the ones to decide whether I lived a great life worth celebrating or not. There is no soldier who celebrates his birthday because, in the wilderness, there is a real fight,” he continued.

Previously, the embattled preacher discouraged people from slaughtering chickens because of the Christmas celebration. He argued that Christmas celebrations should be left to kids, as adults should work that day. “Be a mature person. Feed the children, but feed the spirit. Ask yourself, I have been to this celebration all these years; how has this celebration changed my life?
