The wife of the Venerable Ope Oredein, Professor Afolakemi Oredein, has emphasized the importance of mothers behaving wisely in all their undertakings.

She delivered the message during a sermon at St. Anne’s Church, Molete, Ibadan, on the occasion of the 2026 Mothering Sunday celebration.

Professor Oredein noted that with the end times near, only mothers who act wisely would prevail.

She added that women who fail to exercise wisdom would struggle to raise godly children.

Highlighting the role of spiritual insight, she urged mothers to understand God’s will in their lives as a key to upholding their homes.

She also advised cultivating a positive mindset in all dealings.

Mothering Sunday, which originated in the Western Church, particularly in England during the Middle Ages, grew out of liturgical practices.

Celebrated on the fourth Sunday in Lent, it was traditionally a day for relaxation during the Lenten period.

The name “Mothering Sunday” comes from the custom of servants, apprentices, and young workers traveling long distances to attend services at their “mother” churches.

The service featured fathers presenting gifts to mothers and mothers leading the proceedings.

By Web News 1046

A preacher at St Anne’s Church, Molete, Ibadan, Mrs Sola Fakolade has called on Mothers to show good examples to their children.

She made the call while delivering a sermon to commemorate this year’s Mothering Sunday.

Mrs Fakolade, while speaking on the roles of women in making a Christian home as a mother and as a wife, explained that children should be trained to be disciplined and to read the words of God always.

She also noted that a Christian home should be a happy one devoid of exchange of blows.

Mrs Fakolade admonished wives not to compare their husbands with any other man, but rather they should be submissive to their husbands.

She also advised mothers not to allow the social media to rob them of their homes.

Mothering Sunday which has its origin in United Kingdom and Ireland is celebrated annually and globally on the fourth day of Lent.

It is traditionally a religious day in which children, especially daughters return to their mothers and mother churches for a special service known as going -Mothering.

Highlight of the service was the distribution of gifts to mothers.
