Openly gay Nigerian pastor, Jide Macaulay is 50 today and he took out time to reflect on his life journey so far on a Facebook post. Read what he wrote below...

"It is unbelievable that this moment has come. I am 50 years old. I am delighted and grateful to the almighty God, who is incomparable, the omnipotent and magnificent God. If I have a thousand tongues it is not enough to express my gratitude. I just want to say Thank You God. I also want to say thanks to my parents, who laboured in my upbringing, though my mother is late.

I believe she is looking down from heaven with joy and blessings for my future. I am grateful for my dad too, who through all hardship has the forbearance of hope and wisdom of a father. I want to say thanks to the thousands of people who have befriended me in joyful and difficult circumstances, too numerous to mention here, but I am joyful because of the unavoidable contributions in my life. Half a century is a gift, everyday will always be a precious bonus. I say THANK YOU JESUS, MY SAVIOUR AND MY LORD".
