Chinedu. Our daughter’s name is Delight Chinedu. We joined Chosen in 2006. We came to appreciate God for delivering our daughter from Ventricular Septal Defect ( VSD), commonly referred to as a hole in the heart. VSD happens, when there is an abnormal opening in the wall between the two main chambers of the heart, which causes the blood enriched by oxygen to mix up with poor oxygen blood and forced to return to the lung. This condition causes early death in children, and that was the situation we found ourselves, three months after we had our daughter.
Three months after delivery of our daughter, we observed that she was daily getting leaner, despite feeding her with breast milk as instructed and cereals rich in protein. When I drew my wife’s attention to our daughter’s condition, she said it could be that the child was growing. She, however, suggested we should watch her closely. Then as she entered the fourth month and the leanness remained, it became obvious that there was a problem.
So, we decided to take her to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor suggested we should do an x- ray on her to ascertain what actually was going wrong with her. We did that and when the result came out, we took it to the doctor, who after analysing the x- ray report, told us the child had a hole in her heart. Consequently, we were referred to LUTH; as such case could only be properly handled by an experienced surgeon. At LUTH, we were asked to do another x- ray. The result of the second x- ray corroborated the first one. At this juncture, we asked the doctor what could be the cause, whether it was an act of omission or commission on our side, and what could be done to correct the defect. He attributed it to the way the child was born, but added that he couldn’t rule out the conspiracy theory that abound, regarding the hand of the enemy. On what could be done to address the problem, the doctor said categorically that the child must undergo surgery.
It took about three months for us to prepare for the surgery. A day before the scheduled surgery, I pleaded to be allowed to take her to my church for prayer, but they refused. Then I took a picture of her and brought it to General Pastor, who laid hand on it and prayed. After this, I quickly went back to the hospital, as the surgery was supposed to be done the next day.
That night, I had a dream where angels came to LUTH looking for us and immediately they saw us, they went into the theatre and touched some of the equipment, and suddenly I woke up. I shared the dream with my wife and we prayed. The next morning being the day of the surgery, the doctors and nurses came and took her to the theatre and promised to finish within an hour.
But after waiting for two or more hours in anxiety, I decided to bulldoze my way into the theatre and met the doctors and enquired what was happening. They said the situation was critical. I asked what they meant by that — whether the child had died, but they said no. I asked if they had conducted the operation and they said no. I asked why and they said they had been searching for the machine to use, that the ones they had were not certified for the surgery. So, they would defer the surgery till the next Thursday. At this point, they brought out the child and we took her back to the ward. When we returned to the ward, I told my wife it could be that God had done the operation, otherwise why could they be searching for instrument for surgery that had been scheduled since two months. Thereafter, my wife and I agreed that we would resist any further attempt to operate our daughter.
On the appointed Thursday, when the team of doctors came for the surgery, we vehemently refused to hand over our daughter to them. They warned that if the surgery was not done, the child would likely die after two months, as she was supposed to be supported with oxygen. They did everything possible to convince us to do otherwise, but to no avail. When all efforts to make us reason with them failed, they brought a paper for me to sign that I should not blame them for whatever health issue that may ensue afterward. As soon as I append my signature on the paper, they discharged us.
The following Thursday being counseling and deliverance service at the Church, we took her to the Church. During the deliverance ministration, the General Pastor prophetically said, “That child that has a hole in the heart shall from today see it no more. I rebuke that evil responsible for it and command that hole to be filled in Jesus name.” Immediately this word of knowledge came, our daughter sneezed and lo and behold, her recuperation began. Brethren, God of Chosen is too great. The child that was given two months to live by LUTH is almost one year and nothing has happened to her. This is the finger of God. I return all glory, honour, adoration, and praise unto Him in Jesus name.
