MY SON'S STORY


                                  Proverbs 10 vs 22 ( King James Version).
 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.


I am sharing this story in appreciation to God Almighty and also hoping that it will encourage someone.
I got married on the 3rd of April 2010.I was so happy. After the wedding I had dreamt of a happily ever life, of having children immediately and not experiencing any challenge at all. The first month no pregnancy, the second month no pregnancy. The months rolled into one year and then the second year came still no child. I had one health challenge after the other through all this period. I was wondering why all this was happening to me, it was so heart breaking because I was born again and I wondered why. The whole experience made me so bitter and angry at God. 

I spoke to one of my mentors Rev Teju Alonge who encouraged me to get a book’’ Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize’’ and also take the confessions in the book daily, by this time I was already almost married for three years without a child. I started reading the book and taking my confessions.  I think on the 25 Feb 2013 I woke up early as usually and I heard a voice very clear and precise “Go and run a pregnancy test on yourself” it was strange and I ignored it, The voice came again more precise and stronger with more precise instructions about running the test. At this point I became scared and confused, but I decided to run a pregnancy test on myself. Behold the pregnancy result came out positive I was pregnant it now dawned on me the voice I heard was from God .It was a miracle I couldn’t believe it God Almighty had heard my prayers,  I was finally going to be a mother. I started my Ante- natal and my EDD was the 31st of October 2013.I had a really smooth pregnancy, God was with me all through and the doctors monitored me closely. So on the 9th of November 2013 at 7.00 am, my son came into the world. I couldn’t believe I had become a mother and he was one of the most beautiful creature I had seen.

I thought all was well but the devil refused to rest, a few hours after birth we found out my son was having problems breathing. We were referred from one hospital to the other, the details of all that happened will be too long to write but the summary is simply the fact that my son could not breathe from his nose, he came out breathing from the mouth. The difficulty he had in breathing was so severe it made it even difficult for him to nurse. It  looked like he was not going to make it till the next day. It was so heart breaking watching him go through all that especially as a mother and knowing the fact that it took me a few years to have him after marriage.  It eventually took the doctors a few months and series of procedures to sort out what the problem was. Through it all, God was there,i prayed  and I held unto one scripture ‘proverbs 10 vs 22 that says The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it’. The whole experience taught me something that can only be described best in the exact word of Christine Caine’’God is good and God does good, but bad things do happen to good people”. It further taught me the fact that believers too can have problems but that the word of God will surely prevail no matter the arrows the devil throws their way.



That precious jewel  Onimisi in Ebira( meaning my beloved),Peter meaning the rock Chizaramkpere in igbo  (meaning the Lord answered my prayers ), Testimony his second English name and Nankling in plateau( meaning The Lord has heard) turns three years old today the 9th of Nov 2016 to the glory of God.


                                         
                  
  My heart is full of grateful tunes unto God. My son is a testimony of God’s faithfulness to me and the fact that God Almighty will always honour His word and not let His word fall to the ground unfulfilled. Every day the joy I feel watching him grow into a man before my eyes is something I cannot describe, but most importantly watching him grow daily reassures me of God’s love and the fact that God Almighty is a covenant keeper but most importantly it assures me that no matter what might come his way that his life is only in the hands of God and that God is concerned about every single detail that concerns him.

I do not know what it is you are going through at the moment, it does not matter how fierce the devil appears, be assured  in this promise from God in Isaiah 59 vs 19b

                                 King James Version
 When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. 

Until our next post remember you don't have to worry or be afraid because no matter what may come your way your life is in God's hand.
