Congratulations are in order for Nigerian musician Bez Idakula, and his wife Tito Idakula.
The couple have just welcomed a beautiful son, who they named Joshua Redzie Ifeoluwa Shekwonya oluwasemilore Bez-Idakula.
The happy parents shared the good news on Instagram. Here is what the new mom wrote:
I don’t even know what to say!!! God has been too faithful to me and @bezidakula. Our home has been blessed with a beautiful son. I have been so overwhelmed by God’s faithfulness. He alone gets all the praise. I can’t find enough words to express my gratitude. Thank you doesn’t seem enough. He did more than I could hope for or imagine.
There is so much I want to say and I will.
Everyone meet Joshua Redzie Ifeoluwa Shekwonya oluwasemilore Bez-Idakula
It’s been over a year since the couple suffered a tragic loss of their first child, who died from a rare condition, a day after she was born in March 2015.
Interestingly, their testimony is coming exactly a year and few days after Tito spoke through faith concerning the loss of her child on her website – My LightHouse, a website where she provides refuge, light and peace to women who are going through pain.
“Isn’t God amazing????”, she asked today on Instagram.
“When I shared about our son, I felt inspired to. I didn’t even realize that it was exactly a year and a few days ago that I shared my testimony. I have seen God do incredible things so I never say anything is just a coincidence. He sees the end from the beginning.”
Below is an inspiring excerpt of what she wrote in last year’s post titled The Test becomes The Testimony:
The reason I am sharing this is not because I want a pity party but because I want to share God’s love even in the midst of pain. I want to share His love NOW. A lot of times when we go through difficult moments as Christians, we seem to forget all about God and we just wait until times get good again before sharing our testimonies. We almost forget that it is God that holds us up when we could have broken down. It is God that sustains us and gives us the ability to move forward. I love the quote that says ‘until the doors of blessings open, praise God in the hallway”. A lot of people have marvelled at my husband and I’s ability to move forward so fluidly and so strongly but we are always quick to give God the Praise. My best friends kept asking me the question ‘are you sleeping now’ a few days after and I always laughed because sleep was not a problem.
God told me he expects me to share this with the world and not wait until the next baby dedication. He wants you to know that he remains God even when you are hurting and he is the balm of Gilead. I acknowledge that this was not just by my strength, God sent us so many helpers and they truly built me up during the times when I got so low that I didn’t even know how to pray or read my bible. God really would not give you a challenge you cannot handle. I have complete confidence and peace in my heart and know that greater things are coming, but right now I just want to let the world know that God is ALWAYS good even while you wait. Praise him always!”
Congratulations to the new parents. God bless little Joshua.
