“Grace and peace to you in Jesus’ name. My name is Muwakwanda from Zambia. I want to give all the glory to God Almighty for the numerous blessings He has given us. Indeed, our God is the God of mercy. ‘For we did not present our pleas before You, because of our righteousness, but because of Your great mercy (Daniel 9:18).’ Our testimony goes like this. We are a couple from Zambia who were married for eight years without a child. The problem was my wife had a double tubal blockage and other fertility complications. Therefore, the doctor said it was impossible for her to conceive. This challenge brought us to our knees. We started seeking God, praying all the time – but to no avail. A friend introduced us to a traditional herbalist who gave us this herbal medicine for both of us to drink – but to no avail. The situation remained the same. We became frustrated and we lost hope. Our neighbours and family members noticed that we were barren. They started talking careless words, which also made our lives unbearable. We became a laughing stock in our community. Even at our place of work, it was worse. Some relatives even suggested that we go separate ways. But something inside me was telling me, ‘No, don’t quit. All will be well.’
“We started seeking God and praying all the time. That’s when we came across God’s Heart TV. We submitted our prayer request in January 2023. A response was given through email with an invitation to attend an Interactive Prayer Service with Brother Chris in February 2023, the following month. We managed to pray with Brother Chris during the service and listened to a faith-building sermon. People of God, the next month after prayer, my wife became pregnant. We became so happy – our miracle had come after eight years in marriage without a child. We went to the hospital. All was well and after the scan, they said it was a boy. We thank God for the blessing – but at six months of pregnancy, my wife had a miscarriage and we lost the baby boy. It was a painful experience we went through – after waiting for a child for such a long time. We started asking God, ‘Why are all these things happening to us? What sin did we commit?’ All our hope seemed lost again.
“In the middle of those challenges, we received a call from God’s Heart TV – that was in October 2023. During the call, Brother Chris encouraged us to continue in faith and to never lose hope. He also encouraged us to continue praying and stay united in faith. As a couple, our faith was lifted up by those faith-building words from Brother Chris. We were encouraged to join the next Interactive Prayer Service in November 2023. It was a very powerful Interactive Prayer Service! To God be the glory, the following month in December 2023, after the Interactive Prayer, my wife became pregnant again. What a wonderful God we serve! We continued in faith, seeking God and praying for safe delivery of our baby boy. We also continued joining the Interactive Prayers; our faith grew more and more.
“Finally, to God be the glory, in August 2024, we welcomed our baby boy! He is very healthy. We thank our Almighty God for this blessing and for safe delivery of the baby. To God be the glory and honour! My advice to those with similar situations – don’t lose hope. Stay true to your purpose. Just like Prophet T.B. Joshua said, ‘Do not allow your situation to mislead you. In the midst of hardship, name-calling, condemnation – soldier on. Continue in faith! Your challenges are opportunities to honour God before man’.”
