Nollywood actress-turned-pastor’s wife Sunmbo Adeoye moved hearts online with a deeply emotional Instagram post on her son Prince David’s 7th birthday. Her candid testimony of faith, perseverance, and divine timing tells a story of hope triumphing over heartbreak.
A 21-Year Journey in Waiting
Sunmbo shared that after enduring multiple rounds of failed IVF and heartbreaking miscarriages, she and her husband, Pastor David Adeoye, finally saw hope in an unexpected moment.
“After multiple failed IVFs and multiple miscarriages with no logical reasons… hope felt like a myth. It wasn’t easy, but we kept trusting God.”
Their miracle began during a celebratory photoshoot of her husband’s birthday, a joy-filled gathering that marked the start of Sunmbo’s successful pregnancy.
Faith Through Fear
Though Sunmbo breezed through her first two trimesters, the haunting specter of past losses loomed as she entered her third. That’s when her son, David, offered a moment that changed everything.
“Then my son Nino told me in the kitchen, ‘Don’t let fear steal our joy.’ I snapped out of it, and I chose joy.”
That simple yet powerful reminder from a child steeled her resolve and restored her faith.
A Celebration Years in the Making
Sunmbo and her friends celebrated her third trimester with the “very first baby shower ever.” Despite cautions to avoid public attention, she chose transparency, confident that God would bring her story to perfection: “Watch him perfect it,” she shared online.
“Prince David the Champion” Arrives
At delivery, as Sunmbo recounted, her pastor-husband “stood tall, praying, watching, fighting”—until at last, the miracle: “the 21 years of waiting for his own child were over.”
Her social media post ends with gratitude and encouragement:
“Today I return with this testimony that is now 7 years old to thank God for the PERFECTION THAT IS ‘PRINCE DAVID THE CHAMPION’… To anyone holding on and believing—my God will make you laugh.”
