I remember a night in 2015
I was given a message for a Christian brother
He was a staff of a TV station close to my house
My wife works at the TV station
My immediate elder sister also worked at the station
This person is a colleague of both my sister and my wife
He is older than

me and is also a deacon in his church
We greet each other once in a while but we were not really familiar with each other
He and his wife had been waiting on the Lord for a baby for several years
I was at home that day, reading the Bible and praying in the Holy Ghost when I heard

his name
I took my pen and wrote down the instructions
The Holy Spirit said "Deliver this to him directly and immediately"
I was in my boxers and a pair of slippers
I ran into the bathroom and got to the office in about 30 minutes
I saw him from afar, it was as if the Holy Spirit

deliberately brought him outside of their office premises to meet with him
I had been wondering how I would be able to see him without asking my sister or my wife for assistance
I really didn't want them involved because such a message was supposed to be confidential
I walked

briskly towards him
I had written the message carefully on a piece of paper and sealed it in an envelope
As soon as this brother saw me, he turned around and began to walk away
I started jogging towards him and shouted his name
He looked back, saw me and walked into their office

premises
I didn't know what to do
So I waited under a tree close to their entrance
I waited for about two hours
I sent many people to him asking that I will like to see him briefly
I didn't see him
It was a puzzle
Eventually, my elder sister emerged from the office and saw me
She

asked me what I came there to do
I told her I was waiting to see someone
I didn't want to mention the name because I wanted the message to be confidential
My sister assumed I was waiting for my wife
She stood with me & we started some small talk
Then she said "Something happened

in the office this morning between me and Mr. So and so. (The same guy)
I asked her what it was
She said it was a minor dispute over assignments at work
She was covering the judiciary and he sent a reporter to cover some of her work beat without her consent, so she told him off

She said "He took it badly and swore never to have anything to do with her again"
I said Wow
My sister said "He will cool off after some time, they had been friends for a while and she understood his mood"
I said "No problem"
I decided there was no point staying anymore and asked

my sister to walk me to the gate of their office
We had barely taken ten steps when this lady ran up to us
She was a non-christian, a friend and colleague of my sister
She called my sisters name and said "Is this your brother, the pastor?"
My sister said "Yes" and introduced us

I extended my hand for a handshake, The lady smiled and curtsied
She said they don't shake men in her religion
(I have since learned that unless a lady extends her hand first for a handshake, I shouldn't be so forward)
I apologized
Then she did the most unexpected thing ever

She knelt down and said "Lay your hand upon my head and bless me sir"
I wanted to run away
First of all, she was much older than I am
We were also in a public place and the gesture was embarrassing
(I was an assistant pastor at the time but I don't encourage (till now) that

kneeling thing
Jesus didnt do it in the Bible and I prefer to follow His example)
I tried to pull her up from her knees but she wouldn't budge
I said "Please stand up, I will pray with you"
She said "You don't understand sir, I was taking a nap in the office when I saw myself

kneeling down while you laid your hand on my head and prayed for me
I didn't know who you are but I saw your face
I also saw your sister standing close by in that vision
So I came looking for your sister to share what I saw with her when I saw you two together
I said "Wow"
Hmmm

I was still skeptical
So i asked the Holy Spirit if I should pray for her
The Holy Spirit said "Give her the instruction I gave you"
I said "Yes sir"
I took out the envelope and handed it to her
I laid hands on her for about 10 seconds and pronounced her days of waiting over

She said Amen!
Nine months later, she delivered a baby girl
The brother to whom I was sent later settled the dispute he had with my sister
He even apologized for his conduct and jokingly said he acted that way because he didn't know if my sister had sent for me to come and beat

him up
He is still trusting the Lord for a child
The other sister however had given birth to two more children since then

PS: As I pray this morning, i am asking the Lord to visit all our brothers and sisters waiting for the gift of a child and other good things
May your joy be

full by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
