She felt unfulfilled without one
How could she pretend to be happy
When there was such a glaring void in her life
It was not about family pressure or marital pressure
It was about her
Dogs have litters
Chickens have their chicks
How can God be this unfair?
Some were giving birth twice in three years
She had never been pregnant
She was lady piety
Married as a virgin
Carrying the babies of girls sleeping around since they were teenagers
Pretending God was fair
How?
She suspected he must be the problem
Accused him of marrying her under false pretense
She dragged him to the hospital
He was fine
She was fine
Gynecologists said she was in perfect condition
One year became 10 years
!0 years of bareness
Walking on eggs around other people's children
Topics women talk about but shush when she was around
The unruly subordinates insulting her stylishly
The sight of her period unlocks depression
Every month without fail
Why can't she have a baby?
Other men would simply surprise her
Bring home a pregnant woman
Or another woman with a baby
or impregnate another in obscurity
Just to prove a point
She kept him in church for this
He has to hear the WORD
He has to tow the line
Be a good example
It was sheer manipulation
He was not stupid, he just loved her
But she knows for a fact
Love is not enough
A man can love you and gladly sleep with several others
He can even love many women at once
If only she gave him a child
A joy,
God please be fair
She told him she would like to relocate
She was depressed
Her pain had synced with her environment
Nothing brought her joy
Even her husband was getting testy with her ominous utterances
She was sad
He agreed
They relocated
Settled down
Her mood lifted
She met new people
Got involved in the groove
She had been to Atlanta seven times
For IVF
The treatment had failed everytime
She went to a coffee shop, met some believers
Liked their approach
Dragged her husband to their church
That evening
The pastor and his team came
To do follow-up
Pastor closed his eyes to pray
His team members started speaking in tongues
It was strange to her
They dont believe in such gibberish
Her husband could barely conceal a smile
She felt very unsettled
Something was smelling like sulfur
Something was burning
There was a strange noise in her ears
She blocked her ears with her hands
She started swaying, back and forth
She became violent
Her stomach caught fire
She started jerking
She needed to run
RUN AWAY!
His wife was behaving like a mad person
She was twisting, turning, contorting violently
The Pastor was observing her
The entire team were praying in the spirit with their eyes open
Why aren't they helping her to stop?
What was going on?
What!
She: My stomach is on fire (She screamed)
Pastor: If the Son shall set you free, you shall be free indeed. You demon of barrenness in Jesus name, leave this daughter of Zion alone. Go Now!
She fell to her knees and fainted
The fire was quenched
She laid on the floor, flooded with joy
A heavy weight was lifted off her
Minutes later, she rose to her feet
The pastor spoke with them afterwards
Explained to them they needed the Holy Spirit
They agreed
He prayed with them
They Kabashed!
She was taking a swim in the river of life
The music she heard was eternal
As she came out of the river
She was handed a new robe
A robe of light
That month, she became pregnant
She delivered a set of triplets nine months later
Her shame was taken away
A Former Governor of Lagos State invited them to the State house and threw a party for them
I wrote this testimony prayerfully for every woman waiting on the Lord for a child, YOUR WOMB receives Life this very minute in Jesus name
