It happened on a Tuesday
He had been away at work for two weeks
He worked with a security outfit as a
member of a special protocol team
His team was usually deployed when there is a high risk target in town
The country was plagued with insecurity and prevention was always better

Than cure!
When he joined the outfit
He was a well trained police escort attached to an Italian expatriate working on the liquified natural gas project. His boss was so impressed by his professionalism and attention to detail that he offered him a job as the head of the company’s

Elite security and protocol team!
The job paid very well!
The downside was being away from his family for at least a forthright every month!
That month, there was a lot of conferences and seminars in the oil industry!
Expatriates flew in and out of the country daily from lol over

The world!
His team used to work exclusively for only one company but other oil companies reached out to the organization and requested for their services whenever they had to bring in or host high value targets!
They often got tipped so generously by the grateful expatriates

that they sometimes forgot that they were even paid salaries!
He met his wife on the job
She was a front desk officer with one of the oil companies they worked with!
She was beautiful, witty, decent and very observant!
He had nasal congestion on the day he met his wife!
He was

Sneezing and his nose was running!
The illness came suddenly
His eyes were red in no time
He was already considering returning home to rest but he couldn’t unless he got one of his team members to stand in for him!
She emerged out of nowhere with a cup of hot tea and a plate of

Pepper soup!
It was 11AM in the morning
He didn’t ask her for anything
She just saw his struggle and swung into action
The soup and tea is the trick
The symptoms flew away
He saw the heart behind the gesture
He pursued her
They were married eight months later
She was a rare breed

When he got home that Tuesday morning everything was odd
He found his three children in the living room at about 10AM
They should be in school
It was unlike his wife to be sloppy with the children’s education
He greeted his children and asked them where their mother was
They

Said she was in the room!
He got to the room, he found her on the floor half naked
She was alive
Her eyes were half open
She was blinking intermittently
She couldn’t talk or move any part of her body!
He grabbed her immediately and rushed her to the hospital!
He was just in time!

Tests were done
The doctors said she had a tumor in her brain
The prognosis was very bad
They said she would most likely not survive it
The tumor had grown so big and she would have to be flown abroad for a brain surgery to survive!
Money was not an issue, he wa covered by the

HMO of his company
Due to the high risk nature of his job, himself and his family had comprehensive coverage!
She was stabilized
The documents were done
Two weeks after he discovered her half dead in his house, they arrived in the United States of America for the surgery!
The

Hospital did another set of scans
It was a hopeless case
They told him they couldn’t operate on her because of the location of the tumor
It was too dangerous
They were sure she wouldn’t survive it
They had experimental laser treatments but they were not sure how effective it

Would be!
He was desperate
He called the HMO administrator
“Can you move us to India or the UK, they seemed reluctant to operate on her here”
He wanted action
He didn’t want her to die!
Eventually they found a facility in Spain that was willing to take the risk of operating on

Her!
He started making the arrangement to move her to Spain!
His wife’s younger sister called him
from Canada
She was aware of his predicament and wanted an update
He told her it was hopeless
He told her about the plan to go to Spain
She said “Can we try prayer? It won’t hurt

And it won’t cost us anything! Can we at least try!
He was desperate
He agreed!
She called him thirty minutes later
She had the brother in Jeans and T-shirt on the line
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt told him to lay his hands on his wife
They spoke to her body
They told the

Tumor to dematerialize
The prayer lasted for thirty minutes
They had a break in between while they talked with his hand still resting in his wife’s head
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt promised to call back the following day!
That night, his wife somehow started moving her hands

He called the doctor!
A scan was done!
The tumor had reduced!
Wow!
The doctors compared the previous scans and MRI images
They were perplexed!
He called his sister in law
They prayed again speaking to his wife’s body
The tumor responded once before,
They were sure it would yield

It did!
She recovered fully
The reduction in the size of the tumor was constant for ten days
It was eventually gone!
His wife could see and talk again
They had to get a physiotherapist to help with her movement!
She recovered!
They returned to Nigeria two months later
She was

On her feet!
Walking by herself
Fully healed!

Ps: There are simple instructions in the Bible that many of us refuse to follow
Jesus said “If anyone says to this mountain... Mark 11:23 (Without a doubt)
Not “You shall pray to God about the mountain”

Everything responds to Faith
