“I LOST THREE OF MY FINGERS TO SATANIC MANIPULATION BUT FOUND JESUS IN THE PROCESS.”
“I Escaped Death Countless Times, Poverty Was My Twin Brother, I was Repatriated Severally on my Escape to America and Other Countries.”
Nicholas Duncan-Williams was born on the 12th of May 1957 to Florence Bruce. Doctors had earlier told his mum that her pregnancy was a risk to her health and, therefore, conducted a medical procedure to terminate the pregnancy. Months later, his mother Florence discovered that Baby Nicholas survived the medical procedure. It was then discovered that she was actually carrying twins—with baby Nicholas being the only survivor. It was clear to some early on that this baby was destined for greatness.
His father, E.K. Duncan-Williams, an Ambassador, politician and chief, became actively involved in Nicholas’s life at the age of fifteen. With forty-three sisters and brothers, Nicholas primarily raised himself learning the art of survival through difficult circumstances at a very young age. While growing up, on multiple occasions, he nearly lost his life.
Growing up, he lacked many things; the love and protection of a father,
food to eat and education were a luxury. He pushed trucks, sold chewing gums on the streets to put food on the table. He tried to go to America through Stowaway. He went to Abidjan jumped onto a ship headed for Marseille, France. He was caught and was to be fed to the sharks in the seas of Morocco but grace found him.
A man on board had a son called Nicholas and pleaded for him. They hid him in the dungeons of the ship until they got to Marseille.
He disembarked safely worked at the port for a while but got caught and repatriated to Ghana because he had no papers. Few weeks in Ghana, Nicholas run out of money and had to do another stowaway, this time to Israel, the land of promise. He went to Abidjan went on his knees with a fervent prayer to God asking God for a way in Israel. That, too, failed and he has repatriated again.
He is richer today but poverty was his great friend in the past; a preacher man today but he paid visits to shrines and encountered spirits in the past.
Renowned Ghanaian preacher, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, in August 2017 recounted several tribulations that characterized his early years as a young man.
In an interview with Bola Ray on Starr Chat, he said while growing up he battled numerous spirits and nearly lost his life on several occasions. The renowned bishop said he used to pay frequent visits to shrines due to his incessant thirst for success.
In one such instance, he indicated that he had to sacrifice his fingers for what he wanted. He narrated, “Of all the battles in life, the spiritual battle is easily the most significant. It is always said that before anything of worth happens in the physical, it must be settled in the spiritual. It happened in the spiritual realm but I sacrificed my fingers for it.”
“At age twenty, I had nightmares, hallucination and heard voices at home; spiritual voices contending with the voice of truth, grace. I was captured by the spirit, instructed by it to light a candle and dip my hands into the burning flame.”
He continued; “I obeyed without question but with pain. My lips at a point were sealed until the pain had become unbearable. My fingers darkened in the flames until they turned into ashes. My shouts attracted siblings who came and rushed me to Korle Bu Hospital where I was admitted for over four months.”
‘The extinction of my three fingers brought me a spiritual encounter with God on my bed at the Korle Bu teaching hospital and everything changed. When grace finds you, it doesn’t matter who or where you are.
Lost Three of My Finger to satanic manipulation but Found Jesus in the process.
‘In 1976, on this bed of affliction—after tragically losing three of my fingers, I gave my life to Christ and made a vow to spread the gospel throughout the nations and serve God for the rest of his life.’
His walk with Jesus changed His life for good. He was trained by the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa and completed biblical studies at the All Nations for Christ Bible Institute in Benin City, Nigeria. The impact of his achievements are felt all around the world.
