A reader has written to Kemi Filani blog about her turbulent experience during pregnancy which forced her to seek spiritual help.
Read the woman's touching testimony below and inspire yourself:
Hey KFB, God bless you for all these your posts o, you don't know how much impact you are making with this column. Last week's testimony really challenged me and that is why i decided to send mine in too. There is God Who sees to the affairs of men on earth. It could have only been the Lord Who has been on my side. That is why l am happy today. That is why l am alive today. It took me sometime before l became pregnant after my marriage. Thank God l am a Christian.
Thank God l have a believer as husband. And l want to thank God for the Church of Christ. Do not condemn me. But read on first.
I was due for delivery in July and in the first week of August, l felt some signs of labour, so l was taken to the hospital. There we were told it was not yet time. My husband did not feel like taking me back home, so we went to church. There is a general hospital a stone throw to the church. So no cause for alarm..l had registered there earlier.
That is how l spent extra one month waiting on the Lord. I want to tell you the enemy had been following me and l did not know. However, glory to God through my Lord Jesus Christ Who hid me in His pavilions.
I was joining them for prayers and some fasting exercise at the period, though l would break at 12midday. This day came,as l was breaking the fasting, l rest my head on the backrest of the chair,there and then l fell into a vision. A woman was stretching her hand to offer me something tied up and was black. She told me to collect it that it was for me. If not God l would have collected it,rather l found myself rejecting and refusing the offer. She was insisting that l had to collect it, the more l was telling her the thing was not for me. Could l have been able on my own to reject this?
That was how l came back from the dream world to find out l was in labour. I was driven down to the hospital and within 30 minutes the baby came out. It was a boy. He came in September.
There were certain problems.His eyes were closed. He did not also cry. The medical personnel attending to us beat the baby or would l say hit him hard, so much just for him to cry. Yet he did not cry. I could not stand it even in the condition l was. I therefore told the woman to take the Bible l placed around me on the baby and wrap the Bible round the baby with the shawl. The response was instantaneous! The miracle was amazing.
Within seconds the boy started to cry out without human efforts again. So also his eyes were open. I culled him to myself and prayed over him, the nurses were amazed at the things they saw.
That is how God delivered me and the baby.. The enemies came and met us in the presence of God. The battle was fought and won for us by the Almighty God.
Who says there is no God? Who says the Bible believing and praying church has lost her power?
This year the boy will be 3 years old by the grace of God and he is doing well. Praise the Lord
