Lagos, Nigeria — It was an atmosphere of joy, thanksgiving and honour on Sunday, 18th October 2026, at the headquarters of Royal Choice Ministries International, Lagos, as friends, family, political associates, pastoral colleagues and well-wishers from within and outside Nigeria gathered to celebrate the birthday of the General Overseer, Bishop Dr. Success Ibeakanma (PhD), popularly known as the Prophet of Results.
Though Bishop Ibeakanma was born on 16th October, he chose to mark the celebration on Sunday, 18th October in the midst of his congregation, allowing his spiritual family to celebrate with him in a true church atmosphere. While his birthday is celebrated annually, this year’s edition was described by many as special, outrageous and historic due to the calibre, number and diversity of personalities in attendance.
Guests flew in from the United States of America specifically to honour the man of God, while political leaders, spiritual sons and daughters, kingdom financiers, and members filled the auditorium to capacity to celebrate a man widely described as a blessing to this generation.
A Prophet With Results, A Pastor With A Heart Of Gold
Bishop Dr. Success Ibeakanma has distinguished himself as more than a preacher. He is a Prophet whose declarations produce undeniable results, a teacher of the Word with depth, and a pastor with an uncommon heart for philanthropy and humanitarian service. He belongs to that rare class of ministers who give excessively, sacrificially and without looking back.
Over the years, Bishop Ibeakanma has quietly become a pillar for many families. He awards scholarships to indigent students, pays house rents for families facing eviction, supports widows with monthly food supplies, empowers young people with business capital, and stands as a father to many who have no one. At a time when many seek gain from the pulpit, Bishop Success is renowned for giving from the pulpit to the people. Countless testimonies abound of his kindness, making him a household name for generosity in Lagos and beyond.
During a press interview at the event, Hon. Emeka Ndubuizi, who is contesting for Federal House of Representatives under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said: “Bishop Success cannot be compared to any. His type is rare. He is a good and kind personified bishop.”
Mr. Chuma Ezirim, one of the major kingdom advancement supporters of Royal Choice Ministries, described him as a real man of God and a selfless personality to the core, who puts the interest of others above his own comfort.
Mr. Simon, the Vice President of the Men Fellowship of Royal Choice Ministries International, proudly declared that Bishop Success is his spiritual father, a man who has been a blessing to him and his entire family spiritually, materially and professionally.
DCP Oliver Ezirim: “He Is A Man Genuinely Called By God”
In a special and touching press interview, the President of the Men Fellowship of Royal Choice Ministries International, DCP Oliver Ezirim, Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department, Ogun State, gave a powerful testimony.
DCP Ezirim, a senior and disciplined officer of the Nigeria Police Force, said Bishop Success Ibeakanma is a man genuinely called by God, unlike many who called themselves. Speaking from personal experience, he said: “Anytime I celebrate Bishop Success with all my heart, doors open for me. That is why I always look forward to celebrating him again. He is my spiritual father and a true Prophet whose prayers produce results.”

The wife of the celebrant, Pastor Faith Success Ibeakanma, was visibly elated and speechless as accolades and testimonies poured in for her husband. She expressed gratitude to God and thanked all guests who came from far and near to honour the family, noting that she is proud to see the number of lives blessed through the ministration, prayers and generosity of her husband.
The celebration, which featured powerful praise and worship, prophetic prayers, cutting of the birthday cake and goodwill messages, ended with Bishop Ibeakanma giving thanks to God Almighty for life, for his wife, Pastor Faith, for his spiritual sons and daughters, and for all who celebrated with him, while praying for greater grace and open doors for everyone present.
Indeed, Bishop Dr. Success Ibeakanma stands tall as a Prophet of Results, a Father to many, a Giver to the needy, and a True General in God’s vineyard.

For a better society
