No matter how long you have waited for the fruit of the womb, God is still in the business of making the barren woman to keep house and be a joyful mother of children (Psalm 113:9). Maintain a joyful atmosphere, refuse to be distracted, don’t allow your countenance to be sad and continue to build your faith for it is written, “There shall nothing cast their young, nor be BARREN, in thy land:”
1. TRIPLETS AFTER 16 YEARS OF BARRENNESS I want to return the glory to the God of this Commission for what He has done for us. In 2003, we got married and we were believing God for the fruit of the womb. But behold, years kept coming and going; nothing happened. We kept trusting God, serving Him, looking unto Him for His mighty hand. In Shiloh 2018, when our father in the Lord (Bishop David Oyedepo) was ministering, we were watching it at the viewing centre and Papa (Bishop David Oyedepo) said, “pick up your pen and write down the number of children you want and the names of those children.” I keyed into those words and immediately: I was sitting at a different location, my wife was sitting at a different location; both of us wrote the names that came to be the same (both of us wrote same names despite sitting at different locations). Immediately we met, I said, “it is already settled.” Behold in February 2019, for the first time in the history of our marriage, my wife was confirmed pregnant. In October 2019, October 7th 2019, the Lord blessed us with a wonderful set of Triplets.- Pastor Samuel (Living Faith Church, Orlu, Imo State)
2. TWINS AFTER 18 YEARS OF BARRENESS Mockingly called Mama ‘Volvo’ after her car since she had no child. “I have been married for 18 years and I joined this Commission (Living Faith Church Worldwide) 10 years ago. Shortly, not quite long, my husband survived stroke. As if that was not enough, he survived the second one (stroke) and it looked as if all hope was lost. Last year, I was at Shiloh with bitterness; weeping and I praised God. In my community, they call me ‘Iya Volvo’ because there is a car I drove, that car is called Volvo: they used that car to call me by name. But I give God the glory. After Shiloh (2019), in December, I got pregnant for the first time in my marriage.God blessed me with these twin baby boys. Everybody in my community wondered, “is it true that my husband is the one, that God did this for us!” I have come to return all the glory. – Mrs Yomi E. (LFC, Ikorodu)”
Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.” – Psalm 119:24″And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord.For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him:” – 1 Samuel: 26-27
