Precisely on December 31, 1973, a child was born! A child
whose pedigree and future had some stint with divinity, even though the
pictures were not extremely clear as it is for every new born but of a
certainty, it was very bright! Here comes the child, Fitzgerald, the son of Pa
Ikem.
Yes, loosing his dear
mother barely 21yrs after birth would have been the most devastating period in
the life of the young child Gerald, but as it has turned out to be, God had a
different plan for him as the death of his mother couldn't hold him down! A
little close to 20years after, that same child is 41.
What an amazing story of divine leading and protection.
Deacon Gerald Ikem, DGI as a lot of people call him, carries same grace
everywhere he is. Church, Work, Family and others. Seeth thou a man diligent in
his work? He shall dine with Kings and not ordinary people. He has witnessed
unprecedented uplighting on very areas of life.
As Head of Treasury of one of the most profitable banks in
Nigeria, FCMB, his contributions can never be looked down on! In church (Christ
Embassy LCC6, Ikeja) where he serves as a Deacon, his humility is unequaled by
any. One need to see him seat at the back of the church until he was compelled
to take his proper place fit for his office as a Deacon! So humble that when he
starts associating with children, those of us who know him will stand in awe.
At home, hmmm, never seen a family man like him! Truth be
told, a Godly woman is a very huge compliment on her husband and this is
actually true for Deacon Gerald! His wife, Ma'am Lilian Anulika Gerald Ikem is
a woman of God in its entirety! Though highflying (when looking from far) but
when close, she is amazingly humble to a fault! She is the stabilizing factor
for my Deacon and that was why God brought the two together and made them ONE!
The two lovely, wonderful and beautiful children of Deacon Gerald(whom I
actually call my siblings) are the right specs for him! Testimonies they are in
all ramifications!
What can anyone possibly wish a man as Deacon Gerald Ikem?
You have God inside of you, so, everything God has is yours! From your
stabilizing factor, your darling and sweetheart, the love of your, your wife
and mother! From your two lovely Children plus the grown up one outside, from
your Dad and siblings, we wish you a happy birthday! God bless and Keep you!
Prosper and enlarge you! Happy birthday sir!
