This was followed by a sermon by Rev. Dr. Isaac Komolafe (Chairman FCT Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria PFN).

The wonderful Solid Rock Children department presented a birthday song for the celebrant, as they spiced things up by inviting the celebrant and his lovely wife for a dance session. The next presentation was made by students of Solid Rock Academy.

In the climax of the event, the celebrant, Archbishop Zakka Avong Bonet testified of his miraculous survival and healing from sickness that almost claimed his life.

“My 60^th birthday celebration is not estimated but actual and throughout my 60 years of service to God, I have never been sick or hospitalized not until the tail end of last year when it happened. I could remember I was supervising workers working on the church altar, and it was after the supervision that my 59 years record of not falling sick was broken.”

“When I got home that day, I fought the thought of falling sick, but in the midst of that fight, I broke down completely. I couldn’t stand, my wife tried lifting me up on several occasion, but couldn’t.”

“I work up some weeks later to find myself laying on a hospital bed, I was told that was the second hospital I have been admitted.  I remember laying there unconscious on the hospital bed, and felt my soul leaving my body, I couldn’t eat, at some point, I knew I was gradually leaving the earth. And then it happened.”

“Someone worked to me in the vision and pointed a finger at me and said “let him go.” At this point, I found myself on a long journey with many check points. While on that journey, someone was protesting bitterly that no one comes here and go back, but by the special ‘Grace of God’ I made it through that journey and came back to life.”

“After waking up, I shouted “were I’m I”? I was told I am in the hospital, angrily I asked “Why was I taken to the hospital”? I never liked hospitals; the idea of laying on the hospital bed was not taken likely.”

“On the course of recovering I hand many challenges and complications, I wish to appreciate my lovely wife for being there for me during my recovery. Also I wish to appreciate my children most especially my first son John Bonet, for standing in as the head of the house during my predicament.”

“I want to appreciate all the Men of God, and Elders who supported me both spiritually and financially during my trying times. Apart from the personal money my wife took to the hospital initially, every other bills were handled by them till the point of my discharge from the hospital.”

“I also wish to appreciate the team of doctors who treated me, as well as Dr. Dikeh who is my family doctor and his Wife for their support. I am not forgetting Dr. Musa who was on ground during my recovery, I thank you so much.”

“Finally to the entire Solid Rock Fellowship International, I want to say a big thank you for standing by me. To all those who couldn’t reach me during this period, or didn’t know about my sickness, I want to say I am sorry, it wasn’t my doing, I’m hopping you’ll forgive me.”

“Once again thank you so much.”
