Living Testimonies

Testimony by Onishonume Odoye of Rumuosi Church, GEWC.

In the first week of October, I experienced an increased pains on my left breast. I told my Mum about it. The pain became more severe in the second week. On the Monday of the third week, I couldn’t contain it any longer. My mum didn’t seem to have taken it seriously initially or perhaps, she didn’t know what to do. It now became obvious that we had to go to the hospital: the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.

They delayed to attend to us at UPTH; and so, we left for a private owned hospital by our assistant Pastor. On getting there, he asked us to run a scan and test to be sure of what was wrong with me. We ran the scan and found out that I had Fibroadenoma. It’s found in women between the ages of 14-35years.

We were told that I will undergo surgery. I became scared, having not undergone a surgery before. The surgery was booked for on Sunday, 22nd October, 2023. It was the month of October Healing Service day. We, however, decided to first of all came to the Healing Service, expecting a miracle from God. I believe that there is nothing God cannot do.

While the prayers were going on we prayed, and Daddy in his concluding prayers did make mention of my issue; on that I responded and said AMEN! At the end of the service, my mum asked me to come to the altar side to pray. I told her there was no need that God had already healed me, and it was no repeating prayers.

Nonetheless, we went for the surgery by 3pm after the service. We waited for sometime for the Doctor. When he came there was no electrical power supply. They tried to put on their generator. But the generator was having little fault. I became scared. My mum came and held my hands and prayed with me. She assured me that God was in control.

After a while, the generator became stable and I went into the theatre. The doctor gave me his reassuring word in the bit to abate my fears. I was given Annastacia to make me not to feel the pains during the surgery. At this point, the doctor paused, and said that he would like to re-examine me again before proceeding with surgery. On examining me, he said he was not feeling anything again. After a while he asked me to go that he was not carrying on with the surgery because no lump was present any longer.

I just want to give God all the glory for healing me. HALLELUYAH!

Testimony by Pastor Ezekiel Wariboko from Ogbia Church, Bayelsa District.

I fell sick in the month of August; I could not eat. I went to Kaiama Hospital and the Doctor gave me medical advice. Daily, I saw myself going down! I tried all means to eat well but could not. Just the sight of food, did frighten me. At a point, the thought of death predominated my heart. It was clear that something was wrong with my system. My prayer for divine healing intensified. I called on the Lord to heal my system.

It was at this point that God gave me a higher responsibility: Area Minister. I was transferred to Ogbia Central Zone. I said to God. “I’m a dying man, how is it that You are giving me this higher responsibility? Please, heal me, so that I may be able to do Your work.”

On 17th September, 2023, I went to Otuogidi Church to worship because they hadn’t a Pastor as at then, and it was Central Healing Service Sunday. As the Int’l Director started praying after the message, God revealed to him all that were happening in my life. The Int’l Director said: “God is correcting somebody’s eyes”, and I said Amen; “God is healing somebody’s heart”, and I said amen; “God is healing somebody’s head”, I said amen; “God is taking away the thoughts of death”, and I said amen.

After the Healing Service, I went to Ogbia Town Church. I continued in prayers, reminding God of the revelation and prayers through His Servant. Precisely on the 23rd of September 2023, I went into the Church in order to put some records straight. Since, 13 years ago, I read only with medicated glasses. But that very day, when I put on the glasses, I couldn’t see. But as soon as I removed the glasses, and looked at the book, it was as if a great light shone on the book, and I started reading without glasses. On 24th September, 2023, I went back to Otuogidi church, it happened to be the very first day that I declared God’s word from the pulpit without using medicated glasses. I also discovered that I can eat freely from that very day. I no longer had difficulty in eating; and the associated headache disappeared. The predominant thoughts of death, also varnished.

It’s not yet over! For over a year, I was having extra weight and my wife was seriously complaining about my overweight. In October Healing Service, the Int’ Director did mention that God was taking away some extra weights from someone, I also said, “amen”. On the Monday, as I woke up at the middle of the night, I heard a voice, “can you check your weight?” I rolled from one side of the bed to the other, I felt lighter; I discovered that the excess weight had gone!

May His Name alone be praised. It is marvellous what God has done in my life. Now, I can read, before I couldn’t read without using glasses. Praise the Lord.

Testimony by the grandchild of Elder Gladys Michael of Azuabie Church1, Rivers State.

Praise the Lord Church. I’m here to testify of what the Lord has done in the life of my younger brother. For the past one year, he has been feeling severe pain in his ear. We noticed that his ear was swollen and an offensive smell fluid was continually coming out of his ear. At this point, our dad had to take him to the hospital for proper medical attention. The prescribed drugs could not reduce the pains, let alone cure the ailments. He became restless and could not sleep at night. We were advised to discontinue with the drugs, and rather use hydrogen peroxide and cotton wool to regularly clean his ear. The smell was reduced, but not the pains nor the swollen.

When we came to Port Harcourt the thing became severe; it was now blood that started flowing out of the ear, and the ear enlarged the more. It was so until we came for the October Healing Service. During the prayer time, Daddy asked people to lay hands around the part of their bodies they needed God’s healing on, and he prayed. Nothing seemed to had happened; so, we went home after the service and I went to our grandma’s place. We were billed for his next hospital appointment that same week.

On Monday morning, just the next day after the healing service, my dad called us on phone, and brother spoke and said, “Grandma, the ear is not paining me again oh; there is no more blood coming out of my ear; my ear is okay.” Just like that! We did not visit the hospital again. God healed my brother’s ear; it reduced to the normal size, no more pain, no more restlessness from that day till now. Glory be to God. Hallelujah.

Testimony by Zete Kadilobari Grant

In 2022, I woke up one morning and noticed a growth on my right palm with excruciating pains. I thought it was ordinary boil, and so I took some antibiotics, but there no improvement. Within a couple of days, my entire hand had become swollen. It was time to visit the hospital. The Doctors were scared when they saw it. I overheard them discussing for the solution and said, ‘the best thing to do to help this man is to cut off the hand.” Immediately, I said, “you people will not cut off my hand.” They said, “amen, we join our faith with yours because there is nothing that is impossible with God.”

At some point as they commenced treatment, a surgeon was invited. He suggested that they would carry out surgery on my hand, because they had established that it had pores and bacteria. On the appointment date, I was taken into the theatre for the surgery. The pore that was pressed out of my hand filled a small paint bucket! I was in the hospital for some months. To the glory of God, I became well, discharged and my hand was not amputated.

Two years later, I discovered the same type of pains and growth on the same hand and spot had come suddenly again. I was terrified. I told my wife, and we both prayed and believed God that the affliction would not arise the second time. It was the week of the Central Healing Service; I told my Zonal Minister and we prayed about it.

On the Sunday, we came to the Healing Service. After the message, Daddy prayed, I placed my left hand and faith on the pain that I was receiving; that was exactly how it started two years ago. While the prayer was going on, I discovered that the pains and the size of the swollen hand had started reducing instantly. At the end of the service, I said to my wife, “it’s like this hand has been healed o!” And we both believed God.

Testimony by Mr & Mrs Blessing Ishanu, from Benue State

Early last year, I took in for this baby, Soon after, it was one illness or problem to another. I became so sick that I could not go out of the house. When I was taken to the hospital it was discovered that I was pregnant, and that the baby was not growing. Before then, I had had series of miscarriages. This case that tried to stay, the baby was not growing. The doctor had said that if the baby continues like that I would go for evacuation.

One of those days because I was not able to go out of the house to church, I fell asleep. It was a healing service Sunday. In fact, that was the first time in that pregnancy that I was able to sleep well and so deep! I had a dream; in that dream I heard the Int’l Director preaching and praying, and I was saying, ‘amen and amen.’ The Int’l Director said, “that pregnancy, instead of the child to be growing you are reducing. The power of God is coming on that pregnancy now. I speak life to that foetus. I command that fetus to come alive by the spirit of the Lord. Whatever be the medical conditions, I speak normalcy to your womb now; let the suffocating baby in your womb begin to grow well now. That pregnancy will mature and you will deliver safely.” What woke me up was a knock on the door. The Men Fellowship had visited after the healing service. They told me that the Int’l Director prayed for pregnant women. I said, “amen”.  They also prayed for me.

On my next hospital visit, the doctor said that the baby had started growing well, that I should continue with my routine drugs only. When he said the baby was okay, he added that he noticed multiple fibroid in my womb. I went back home and was wondering why fibroid again, because this was said to have been removed before now. 

In the next month’s healing service, I was strong enough to go to church; it was April healing service. Daddy prayed and said, “I command every case of multiple fibroid to dissolve now by reason of the power in this service.” I believed it; I claimed it. God healed me, dissolved the fibroid and gave me a matured and healthy baby.
