I have shared the testimony
several times that I used to suffer chronic migraine many years ago. But after
encountering the power of God in 1994 (July 10), migraine lost its grip over me
and has never returned. From 1994 till date, I was admitted in the hospital one
time in 2002 but God came through for me. Today, as I prepared to send
appreciation notes to all (especially YOU) for birthday wishes, I stumbled over
a note I sent to my fiancée in 2002 after leaving the hospital and I feel like
sharing few lines with you:
“Dear, today is the last day in the month of February, the enemy wanted
me to follow the month of February 2002 in to the dungeon of history. But I
believe you, my darling wife and the host of other loved ones united your voice
in the spirit and answered the enemy like Mama Lizzy answered him in Luke 1:60,
"Not so." In the time when it seems I could not answer; you guys rose
up and withstood him. What a nice thing to have relationships! I really
appreciate you.
That's why I'm using this opportunity to announce to my generation
never to prepare my grave because I'm not coming there yet! There are still
songs yet to be composed; messages yet to be preached; victories yet to be
enjoyed; books
yet to be written; homes yet to be restored; relationships yet to be
mended; shattered dreams yet to be fixed again; nations yet to be visited;
friendships yet to be made; ministries yet to be birthed; lives yet to be
turned around.” (Written Feb. 28, 2002)
At the time I wrote that, I have
never published any book and I don’t even have a national (not to talk of
international) passport or been to any embassy in my nation.
But yesterday on my birthday, I
preached at Mamre Christian Community Church (Haitian Congregation) and sold
copies of my books (not just written books but helped others to publish). I have not just visited another nation but now a privileged
citizen of the most powerful nation on earth (america) and a proud son of my “root
nation” (nigeria)!
Thank
you for your calls, texts, fb msgs, whatsapp msgs, gifts, birthday songs (both
fuji and contemporaries). i’m grateful that god put you in my life!
Hear this, I just showed you
again the power of words and writing stuff down. Watch out for my next workshop
on HOW TO WRITE AND PUBLISH YOUR FIRST BOOK!
