Tehillah

In 2019, I met a lady on Twitter. 
A precious soul. 
She sent me a DM about some of the 
life issues she had been facing in her 
life and especially in her twelve years 
of marriage
She had just recovered from a surgery 
at the time and the doctors told her 
she would be going under the knife again 
for another
She said “My troubles started when I 
decided to take the route of assisted 
conception in order to have a child”
The doctors carried out some tests on 
me and they discovered I had fibroid, 
I was counseled to undergo a surgery 
and I did. 
After the surgery they discovered another 
thing in my Fallopian tubes and another 
in my ovaries and yet another in my uterus.
As soon as I was recovering from a surgery, 
I was being prepared for another!
I had surgeries both in Nigeria and abroad 
and yet I had no child to show for it 
Some of the vital reproductive organs 
had been cut away and the doctors are 
now advising surrogacy claiming they 
did everything they could to save my life 
and it was not necessarily about me 
having a baby through the normal means.
It was a death blow to me because I 
sincerely believe my husband deserves to 
be a father to his own children which I must
bear for him
After the discussion on surrogacy, 
I noticed that my husband loved me more 
(as if that was even possible but he made 
it possible) but I was very sad and depressed
I knew he was only being a kind-hearted 
man and that he was hurting too!
Soon after this, I realized that he had 
began to entertain the attention of some 
other women.
My husband is rich and quite successful,
the nature of his business required active 
engagement with people and sometimes
 he would be on the road attending 
meetings and conferences for weeks
He was a very disciplined man, the kind of 
man that didn’t double date as a bachelor. 
The kind of man that wouldn’t cheat but 
also a very pragmatic man who would
deal with whatever hand life dealt to him
the best way he can
I stumbled across a WhatsApp discussion 
he was having with a woman and I realized 
he wanted to do the surrogacy thing all by 
himself
He didn’t want it supervised by doctors and 
he didn’t want me in the process
He had started selecting a mate for himself
using the usual male criteria
I pretended I didn’t see what I saw, but the 
next morning, I discovered that he was having 
a conversation in the bathroom with a
woman
I went to the door of the bathroom and 
listened attentively
I discovered that he was planning to meet 
with the lady somewhere later that day
I naturally felt he ought to do whatever 
would make him happy but somehow I 
couldn’t bear it
I began to cry right at the door of the
bathroom
When my husband came out of the 
bathroom, he saw me broken and on my 
knees
He began to apologize but his apology was 
not what I wanted
I wanted him to believe with me that I am 
not a hopeless hag, I shouldn’t be so easily 
discarded and tagged as barren!
I do not want to share my husband, I want 
to be the one to bear children for him.
Some of the pastors and prophets who 
had come to our house to pray had told 
me that unless my husband had a child 
or two with another woman, I will never 
be pregnant but I know that was a lie!
It was not biblical to even prophecy
such to a child of God
I chased all those charlatans away but 
now I am at a crossroad brother Gbenga
I told my husband to give me 2 years 
grace to sort myself out with God and 
recover from the physical and emotional
issues i was dealing with at the time
He agreed and canceled his plan with 
this strange woman
This is why I have written to you sir!
I believe you are a man of God,
Please help me.”
I got talking with this lady and I realized 
she had explored many avenues to have 
a child
She had been to mountains, beaches and 
several churches with all sorts of prophets
She had also been to the best hospitals 
in the world!
We prayed and waited
Fresh challenges came up, strange pains 
that seem to defy prayer and authority
She invited me for a prayer meeting with 
her family
I went with my younger brother and the 
power of the Holy Spirit moved mightily
I was sure she would get pregnant the 
following month
She wasn’t 
I went to God, “Lord, what is the issue here?”
The Holy Spirit said to me “Tell her to be 
glad and to rejoice”
(This season was a terrible one because 
this lady would call me often and she would 
be weeping and wailing)
She was one of those who married as a good
girl and expected a hitch free life especially 
in the area of bearing children only to be 
thrown a curve ball!
It hurts especially when it seems God had 
singled out one for torture when it was 
undeserved.
I would call and encourage my sister to 
cheer up and smile like Hanna
did after Eli prayed for her
In 2020, at the height of the Covid 19 
pandemic, my sister and her husband 
got ill
The power of the Holy Spirit preserved 
them
After their recovery, we had a thanksgiving 
service in their home
My sister said “I am happy now, I don’t 
know how but after that battle for my life, 
and after seeing my husband’s recovery 
from sickness too, I have come to realize 
that I should be more thankful and grateful 
to God”
I noticed that she stopped crying after 
this time
She started a new business and whenever 
we had an occasion to worship
together, she would dance and dance 
and dance!
On October 1, 2021 while I was ministering 
at the GSWMI supernatural convention, 
this sister of mine came to mind
If a womb can be shut for criticizing King 
David’s dancing steps, wombs can be opened 
for dancing as King David danced!
I made this decree during the service
After this service my brother came to me 
and said “Sister so and so says the Holy 
Spirit is nudging her to take the communion”
Referring to this lady
I said okay!
I served her the communion.
On the 16th of October, while I was on the 
crusade ground at Itaogbolu, Ondo State,
I got the news!
She sent me a WhatsApp message detailing 
her test result
For the first time ever after 14 years of 
marriage, my sister’s pregnancy test was 
positive!
Oh God!
The exact month to the day it clocked 2 years 
since she asked her husband to keep the faith 
and stand by her.
I usually wouldn’t share this testimony until 
the baby comes.
I have several others in this category that 
I have not shared but this particular testimony 
has been like fire in my bones
I was practically sharing it in my sleep because 
I woke up with it on my lips!
I am very confident that these babies will be 
carried to term
I am equally confident that many people on 
my timeline will read this and become pregnant
This testimony is an activation testimony, it 
will stir life in the bosom and loins of many 
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I ask "waiting" mothers and fathers to please 
be patient and hold on to the promise of God.
None indeed shall be barren in Zion!
