One of my three prayer requests at the beginning of the year was to get pregnant. However, I was still breastfeeding my firstborn, and was having irregular periods. Hence, it was impossible for us to plan a conception.
In October, I bled for almost the whole month. I saw a doctor who said that because I was still breastfeeding, my hormones were going haywire, and I needed to stop breastfeeding to regulate my hormones and cycle.
When I asked about the chances of conceiving, she laughed and said that it was next to impossible. Again, she advised me to stop breastfeeding and if irregular bleeding persisted, I’d have to go on hormone replacement therapy.
I was crushed as I had wanted to breastfeed for as long as possible, and dreamt of nursing two children in tandem. Being a doctor myself, I knew that my gynaecologist was right. Nonetheless, I had to remind myself that God was sovereign and His ways are the high ways. He is above the ways of the world and He has the final say. One touch of Jesus’ cloak healed the lady with the issue of blood and so, I claimed similar supernatural healing and regulation of my cycle without having to stop breastfeeding or go on hormone replacement therapy, and believed that He would give me the desires of my heart.
I wanted to be bold about it, but my husband who attended the same consultation as me was unconvinced and told me to listen to the doctor. I surrendered the burden to Jesus. I told Him I was going to trust His healing and provision.
One day, I was blessed watching a worship service on Psalm 23 by Pastor Prince. I soaked in the Word and meditated on my Abba’s goodness and grace, believing that His goodness and mercy would hunt me down.
Later that same month, I conceived! It was a miracle! Even the doctor was surprised that I had conceived based on the blood test and scan results.
My father who is an obstetrician with over 30 years of experience was incredulous that I conceived after he read the doctor’s report. My doctor is one of the most renowned specialists in London. Her investigation findings and diagnosis were all accurate, but that same month, my God swooped in to restore my health, overanswering my prayers and surprising us with His provision.
On 24 July, my second child was born. I am grateful to be under Pastor Prince's ministry and guidance to right believing. All glory to Jesus.
