Why I praise God

We have been married for 11 years with no issue. This year we decided to devote our days to praise and worship, we forgot about conception. My wife started feeling ill and we went to visit the doctor, the doctor said she was pregnant. We were beside ourselves with joy.

We decided to travel to the US for the delivery. My wife seemed to be having complications. On the day we were to meet with the doctor, I noticed that the doctors kept increasing. They kept calling other doctors. I got worried and started praying out of desperation.

They called me in to ask me what fertility pills she was on, I told them none. They looked at each other, my heart sank. They broke the news to me. My wife had not one child in her womb. She had four!!!

These are the four children.

My wife took in after 8 years of marriage. We were excited. The pregnancy was just beautiful, she glowed like a million stars in the sky. On the day of delivery, after a short labour, she put to bed a bouncing baby boy. We were discharged the next day.

A few days later, I rushed her back to the hospital she was uncomfortable. The doctor told us to quit all the hot water presses and just let her be. Two weeks after the delivery of our first son, our daughter made her entrance into the world.

My wife went into labour two weeks after and gave birth to our third child, the second son. In six weeks we had three children delivered. We cannot really call them triplets. The doctors themselves do not understand this process.

These are the children.

I met this guy 17 years ago. We were so in love. He travelled all the way to perform the rites of our marriage. We did our introduction. That was the last I saw of him.

I realised I was pregnant and had the baby and have raised her alone since. She never knew her dad. I didn’t even have answers to give her.

I embarked on a fasting and prayer exercise. I told God quite violently, you either answer me or I die. I prayed like I was going to die. Two weeks into the prayer, I got a call from the village. My father was dying.

He said a lot of baffling things among which was that it was over his dead body that I would get married. He died a couple of days after that!

I came back to Abuja and guess who I ran into? The father of my daughter. We have quietly rekindled our relationship and have even had our court marriage.

The joy on my daughter’s face the first day her father took her out shopping is not something words can express. I wish I could freeze time to replay that experience over and again.

I am getting married in the church in two weeks.

The Doctor said I had two months to live. The cancer had spread too far in my brain and no kind of surgery could get it out. I am a Doctor myself, I know how these things happen.

I just came here today as a last option move. The pain was unbearable and I had lost use of my limbs and faculties. I was wheel chair bound. I was wheeled into this hall.

I just prayed the prayer along with everyone and I felt an electric surge flow through my body. It jerked me to my feet. I ran here! I can run! I can twist! I can dance! I can talk!

I am healed! I know I am healed. God is still doing miracles, I am a miracle!!

I came into this building with a stroke. My blood pressure was up in the high heavens. My sister forbade me to leave the house. I laughed and told her, I am already there.

I joined the congregational prayer and declared upon myself as was directed from the altar. Look at me. I am moving this hand! I can stand on this leg! My blood pressure was 210/170 yesterday. I just went to the medical team outside to check it for confirmation. It is 130/70!

This is why I praise this God ooooo!
