Segun and Kemi Omotinugbon, devoted members of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), have shared the deeply emotional story of how they welcomed their first child after more than 30 years of marriage — a journey marked by decades of waiting, faith and unwavering hope.
The couple recounted their experience during a testimony session at the church’s monthly prayer programme, Power Must Change Hands, held at MFM’s international headquarters along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State over the weekend, drawing tears and applause from worshippers in attendance.

Kemi said their journey to parenthood was marked by years of emotional and physical challenges, including medical interventions and repeated disappointments.
Kemi disclosed that they underwent different treatments in the past, including two unsuccessful in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedures.
The woman revealed that she eventually conceived in May 2024, when she was 56 years old.
Kemi described the pregnancy as difficult, particularly because of her age, but said she received strong emotional and spiritual support throughout the period.
She disclosed that she welcomed a baby boy in January 2025, shortly before she turned 57.
She said: “We got married in July 1994; July precisely. Since then, we’ve been believing God for the fruit of the womb. It has been a challenging time, but God manifested Himself in the end.
‘We went through some treatments, including two failed IVFs, and endured many prayers, including corridor prayers with the General Overseer, who was very supportive and guided us prayerfully. By God’s grace, in May 2024, I conceived.
“The journey was challenging because of my age, but I was able to overcome it. At the time of conception, I was 56, and by the time the baby was born in January last year, I was close to 57. Praise the Lord.
“The journey has been filled with pain, tears, and moments of joy. Whenever I saw people testify, I asked God, ‘When will I testify?’ I believed God had not called me to shame, and indeed, God did it.
“There was a time I had an attack on my leg, and I prayed that I would be able to carry the pregnancy safely. God helped me, and in January 2025, we were blessed with our child.”
