In 2019, I met a lady here on Twitter. A precious soul. She sent me a DM about some of the life issues she had been facing in her life and especially in her twelve years of marriage
She had just recovered from a surgery at the time and the doctors told her she would be going
Under the knife again for another
She said “My troubles started when I decided to take the route of assistance conception in order to have a child”
The doctors carried out some tests in me and they discovered I had fibroid, I was counselled to have a surgery and I did. After the
Surgery they discovered another thing in my Fallopian tubes and yeah another in my ovaries and yet another in my uterus.
As soon as I was recovering from a surgery, I was being prepared for another!
I had surgeries both in Nigeria and abroad and yet I had no child to show for it
Some of the vital reproductive organs had been cut away and the doctors are now advising surrogacy claiming they did everything they could to save my life and not necessarily about me having a baby through the normal means.
It was a death blow to me because I sincerely believe
my husband deserves to be a father to his own children.
After the discussion on surrogacy I noticed that my husband loved me more (as if that was even possible but he made it possible) but I was very sad
I knew he was only being a kind hearted man and that he was hurting too!
Soon after this, I realised that he had began to entertain the attention of some other women.
My husband is rich and quite successful, his nature of business required active engagement with people and sometimes he would be on the road attending meetings and conferences for weeks
He was a very disciplined, the kind of man that doesn’t double date as a bachelor. The kind of man that doesn’t cheat but also a very pragmatic man
I stumbled across a WhatsApp discussion he was having with a woman and I realised he wanted to do the surrogacy thing all by himself
He didn’t want it supervised by doctors and he didn’t want me in the process
He had started selecting a mate for himself using the usual male criteria
I pretended I didn’t see what I saw, but the next morning, I discovered that he was having a conversation in the bathroom with a
woman
I went to the door of the bathroom and listened attentively
I discovered that he was planning to meet with the lady somewhere later that day
I naturally felt he ought to do whatever would make him happy but somehow I couldn’t bear it
I began to cry right at the door of the
bathroom
When my husband came out of the bathroom, he saw me broken and on my knees
He began to apologise but his apology was not what I wanted
I wanted him to believe with him that I am not a hopeless hag, I shouldn’t be so easily discarded and tagged as barren!
I do not want
to share my husband, I want to be the one to bear children for him.
Some pastors and prophets who come to our house had told me that unless my husband had a child or two with another woman, I will never be pregnant but I know that was a lie!
It was not biblical to even prophecy
Such to a child of God
I chased all those charlatans away but now I am at a cross road brother Gbenga
I told my husband to give me 2 years grace to sort myself out with God and recover
He agreed and cancelled his plan with this strange woman
This is why I have written to you sir!
I believe you are a man of God,
Please help me.”
I got talking with this lady and I realised she had explored many avenues to have a child
She had been to mountains, beaches and several churches with all sorts of prophets
She had also been to the best hospitals in the world!
We prayed and waited
Fresh challenges came up, strange pains that seem to defy prayer and authority
She invited me for a prayer meeting with her family
I went with my younger brother and the power of the Holy Spirit moved mightily
I was sure she would get pregnant the following
month
She wasn’t
I went to God, “Lord, what is the issue here?”
The Holy Spirit said to me “Tell her to be glad and to rejoice”
(This season was a terrible one because my sister would call me often and sh would be weeping and wailing)
She was one of those who married as good
girls and expected an hitch free life especially in the area of bearing children only to be thrown a curved ball!
It hurts especially when it seems God had singled out one for torture when it was undeserved.
I would call and encourage my sister to cheer up and smile like Hanna
did after Eli prayed for her
In 2020, at the height of the Covid 19 pandemic, my sister and her husband got ill
The power of the Holy Spirit preserved them
After their recovery, we had a thanksgiving service in their home
My sister said “I am happy now, I don’t know how but after
that battle for my life, and after seeing my husband’s recovery from sickness too, I have come to realise that I should be more thankful and grateful to God”
I noticed that she stopped crying after this time
She started a new business and whenever we had an occasion to worship
together, she would dance and dance and dance!
On October 1, 2021 while I was ministering at the supernatural conference, this sister of mine came to mind
If a womb can be shut for criticising King David’s dancing steps, wombs can be opened for dancing as King David danced!
I made this decree
After this service my brother came to me and said “Sister so and so says the Holy Spirit is nudging her to take the communion”
Referring to this lady
I said okay!
I served her the communion.
On the 16th of October, while I was on the crusade ground at Itaogbolu
I got the news!
She sent me a WhatsApp message detailing her test result
For the first time ever after 14 years of marriage, my sister’s pregnancy test was positive!
Oh God!
The exact month to the day it clocked 2 years since she asked her husband to keep the faith and stand by
Her.
I usually wouldn’t share this testimony until the baby comes.
I have several others in this category that I have not shared but this particular testimony has been like fire in my bones
I was practically sharing it in my sleep because I woke up with it on my lips!
I am very
Confident that this babies will be carried to term
I am equally confident that many people on my timeline will read this and become pregnant
This testimony is an activation testimony, it will stir life in the bosom and loins of many by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I ask waiting
mother’s and fathers to please be patient and hold on to the promise of God.
None indeed shall be barren in Zion!
I pretended I didn’t see what I saw, but the
next morning, I discovered that he was having
a conversation in the bathroom with a
woman
I went to the door of the bathroom and
listened attentively gswmi.com/read/tehillah/

One of my friends asked me how I was able to build a house in 8 months during the COVID-19 pandemic! I told him I saw a church building project at Kwara in December 2018 and I gave all the money I had on me towards it. By June 12 the following year, I moved into my own house!
I was earning 60,000 naira salary when I built my house. The building phase was so smooth that the only time I ran out of cash, the builder continued to build it with his own money saying “I don’t want your project to suffer any delay because God has blessed me since I started
working on your project.
Since that time I have committed myself to helping communities without churches to build to the glory of God.
I am asking all those who are nudged by the Holy Spirit to send me a DM, let us finish this Philippines project together. There is a joy and a

Day 5 of our construction work on the church we are building in the Philippines! The secret to my breakthrough in life started innocuously in 2018. I was attending a church in Ogudu at the time. I had some money and I noticed the altar of the church was getting old and ragged
so I called the church’s admin and asked him how much it would cost to change the rug on the altar and light up the church
He gave me a heavy bill, this bill required that the altar be changed entirely because the wood had gotten old.
I didn’t bat an eye lid, I changed everything ImageImageImageImage
I didn’t do it so that God can suddenly give me miracle alert. I am not that kind of Christian. If it was my biological father’s house, I wouldn’t have left it undone
I did what I did with great joy and gladness
What happened afterwards shocked me. People started reaching out to ImageImage

The last time I saw my father, it was a season of lamentation. He returned from the USA empty handed after almost 20 years of hard work
He came to take up a post at a private university in Nigeria
He was 68 years old at the time
He was given the post of Lecturer 1 at the school
because he was able to produce his Ph.D certificate from Heidelberg University but unable to produce his M.Sc certificate from the university of Ibadan
He didn’t have a house of his own and even though he prospered at a time, things turned sour and he became
the butt of everyone’s joke among his siblings.
I was at this time a Personal Assistant to a pastor, I was earning 60k as salary, I had two children, a wife and a Toyota Camry.
My daddy came to my house to rethink his appointment with this school
He felt the owner of the school

So an elderly man came into my DM asking for some help
He ended his plea by saying my son is your follower too
I checked the man’s son’s Twitter handle and comments and discovered he was one of those “trolls” who for no reason would jump on my threads and write unprintable stuff
It is such a shame that wise old men give birth to foolish children but it is not new
The wisest man before Christ was Solomon and his son Rehoboam was quite a fool
So I did what I ought to do, I gave this wise old man double what he requested for and told him to tell his son to
Chat me up on Twitter
This smart young man chatted me up with another handle
So he had a Twitter handle that was for decent conversation and another one for trolling and insulting people
To him it was all fun
I told him what I had achieved through Twitter and the social media in

I once laid on the same bed with a lady, I wasn’t married at the time. I met her at a Christian gathering and she told me she wanted to build a website to support her business but she couldn’t put the content of the website together
She asked if I could help, I said Yes. We
exchanged phone numbers and she called during the week asking if she could come and see me
I said Yes!
She came around, I was living in a two bedroom flat at the time
I had a laptop
I had a fully furnished sitting room
I had planned that we would just conduct our business and
that would be that
It started very well until she got a slight headache and asked if she could lie down for a while
I pointed to the couch in the sitting room, she said “It was too close to the window”
She really looked distressed and I had no option but to point to the room

This is to say a big thank you to you and the ministry sir
I dont know where to start from
I was called into ministry in 2014 at the time I was in
the United States, studying software engineering
The Lord showed me where to go and when to go there
As soon as I graduated from the
University, i came to Nigeria and started the ministry
Everything was going as planned until i decided to get married
One lady came to serve at the location where I was and i took to her
She liked me too in her own way
We talked about marriage and she was happy to be with me
We
got married in June 2018
Then this pressure started out of nowhere
She wanted me to return to the city and get a job
She wanted me to employ a pastor to man my post so that i can be of greater use to the ministry financially
It is true that i had a lot of job offers at the time
