I want to thank God for how he gave me a bouncing baby girl. After two years of marriage with prayer and confessions without any child, I decided to seek a doctor’s advice, and when I told my husband about it, he did not agree immediately. The first day we went we were asked to run several tests which resulted in our going back to the hospital so many times. The first issue we got from the first result was a fibroid. I started crying deeply but the Holy Spirit ministered to me and said, “Have you forgotten the declaration your Pastor, Pastor Kech made during the last The Carpenter’s Place in 2013. The word has gone ahead of you. Pastor said, “I have been desiring to make this declaration but I think today is the right day for it. Research has it that African women are prone to fibroid, but sisters here both married and single are not African women. We are not African women; we are God’s children. Therefore fibroid has no power over us. If you have been booked for surgery go and have a successful one but if not every fibroid is melting away in Jesus’ name, Amen. No sister here will have the issue of fibroid again in Jesus’ name, amen.” She then made an important statement, “If you are having issues with conception or reproduction I want you to know that it is not from God and do not accept it. Enough is enough!” The remembrance of that declaration changed my mind immediately. For indeed the word went ahead of me and as far as I was concerned the issue of fibroid had been settled. Thank you, God, for our prophet.
Other issues were imbalanced hormone, retroverted womb, etc. I was so shocked because that was my first time of hearing those names. Sometimes I would go online to read about them, and my husband would caution me to guard my heart over whatever I am reading online. Chimenem Iroanwusi never bothered himself reading anything even when his own result started having little problem with sperm.
Also through Pastor Sola, I received a rhema word from the book of Luke 1:45:
“Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”
Luke 1:45 NKJV
His teachings on three persons we should constantly talk to helped me a lot. For I started telling the devil that I am not in his kingdom and so he has no power over my body. That I know all these are his handwork. That I am not afraid of him because Jesus had defeated him. I would turn to myself and would say I will have as many children as I want and nothing can stop me. I know my Father I am not ordinary. My Father calls me fruitful and I am fruitful. I belong to the kingdom of light where barrenness does not exist. I am in a better covenant.
To my Father, I would say, “I know you have been faithful since I entered into a relationship with You and You will not fail me now that I am married. I know you are with me and having children is not going to change that. I don’t know how long it will take but I will wait.” My husband earnestly interceded for us. He would sometimes lay his hand on my belly and make declarations. My father-in-law bought me books. The truths in those books were exactly what the Holy Spirit was dealing with me at that time. My mother-in-law was very supportive. Uncle Okey Dike kept on prophesying to me that I would give birth to twins. On one occasion he called me aside and told me to start buying my baby’s things and that if I’m not ready he would start buying them himself. He was believing God on my behalf. He made it his point of duty every Sunday. I was so touched seeing a man I met in the Family Outreach Group, caring for me like an uncle would. I love you.
Yet all these people that I have mentioned had no idea of the issues that I was dealing with because my husband and I decided not to publish what the enemy was tryin to do around us. One particular day when we came back from the hospital, my husband sat down and did what he knows to do best. He wrote out three pages of foolscap papers filled with faith confessions from the Word of God on reproduction and fertility. He handed my copy to me and told me it’s our medicine. I kept confessing them day and night.
God’s Word is medicine indeed that works. My hormones became balanced, the position of my womb changed, in fact, new reproductive organs were given to us. We were initially afraid of running a particular test called HSG, but that fear too left supernaturally. The fear had come after reading the procedures online. No surgeries, only vitamins like folic acid and B-complex. It was not an easy journey, but the Word prevailed. There were many things that happened during those months that the enemy wanted to use to distract, discourage or even sow the seed of bitterness into my heart but the Holy Spirit helped me to remain focused.
One of such was, as I kept confessing the Word, my menses became messy. I couldn’t understand it any longer. Sometimes thick dark blood would be coming out as menses. My husband maintained that they are those that are not needed in my body and I agreed with him. Another one was when a seven-year-old said to me, “Aunty I have been seeing you with uncle for some time now, when are you going to have children?” Though my answer to him was positive, I became depressed after they left our home. I overcame that depression when the Holy Spirit ministered to me that the child was right. He also revealed so many other things to me which time will not permit me to say.
It was exactly two years and nine months into our marriage when I started feeling funny. My husband advised that I should go to the hospital to run some tests. When I got there, after explaining to the doctor how I was feeling. She wrote two tests, scan and blood tests. The radiologist who conducted the tests said to me it was an infection. I told him I had no infection. He asked me who told me, I told him I had no infection that the blood test result is not yet out but that I don’t have an infection.
When he was done, he wrote in the result that what he saw was not clear and I took it and went out of his office. The day I went for the result of the blood test, the pregnancy test result was positive, and that is, this most beautiful girl in the whole universe that is here today. I can categorically say that my miracle happened faster as a result of the joint effort of the godly influences God had placed me under – my pastors’ teaching and prophecies, my parents-in-law and my mom’s prayers, uncle Okey Dike’s prophecies, my husband and most especially the Holy Spirit in me who guided me aright before pregnancy, during pregnancy and childbirth.
Pastor Nkechi keeps saying that no child of God is meant to be barren. It is true I am a testimony. Today, my heart overflows with joy and gratitude to God, Pastor Nkechi, Pastor Sola, my mom and parents-in-law, Uncle Okey Dike and Chimenem Iroanwusi my husband. I also want to thank the Evangelism Department, the best department in every local assembly, TC Cubs, brethren in TCC and all my family members, and friends, thank, you, all for your support and gifts you all gave. May you continue to experience the blessing of God.
