I DO NOT WANT TO DIE
I know death is the debt everyone must pay one day but I was not expecting it to knock at my door soon. Though he is always the unexpected visitor but when you know the number of days left for you to spend with the people who you love is another scenario. I also know that every man dies with his plan but I still have so much to accomplish.Different thoughts went through me as I was returning from the hospital. The doctor just told me that the prostate cancer is spreading fast in my body and that there is little they can really do for me right now. What is more frustrating than when you see the physicians, the professionals and the experts given up on you? It was a pronouncement of death. As I tried to stand up I fell back on the chair. I spent twenty minutes there asking God “Why me? Why?”
I knew it will be hard for me to break the sad news to my family. “My little kids, how would they take it?” How would they feel when they know that their dear daddy will be leaving them soon and they will never see him again? What about my house mortgage who would pay it? That means they are going to throw out my family? What about my business plan with my wife? And how would she carry the family’s load alone? Will she get married to another man? How would the man handle my kids? “Different thoughts and questions were running through me. I was so confused. As I was walking home and talking to myself, the voice in me was soliloquizing “I don’t want to die” Then suddenly I heard a voice from behind saying “Do not say that!” I turned to see where it was coming from, behold it was an old man walking behind me. I then out of curiosity asked him if he was talking to me. He answered “Yes!” “Change what you are saying to yourself, I do not want to die, to I will not die!” Then I said “Thank you.” It was after a little walk that I began to wonder of how the strange old man knew exactly what I was thinking in my mind. So I turned to ask him but there was no one on the quiet straight street. I thought I was going mad but I saw him and he spoke to me.
Without hesitation and doubting I concluded that God has answered my prayers and that old man is an Angel of God sent to me. Then I heard myself saying “I believe it! I will not die! The news I am taking to my family right now is I will not die”
When I got home, my kids ran to me and they were all asking “How come daddy is so happy today?” I replied “it is because I will not die!” My little daughter of eight years then said “Yes! Daddy! You will not die, you will live with us.”
It was a real battle because at interval the devil walks in to say “You have few days to live, remember what the doctor said about the cancer in your body?” I knew that the devil was trying to slow me down so that he could kill me slowly but I refused to listen to him, instead I keep on reciting what the old man told me, “I will not die! I will not die!” Even in my dream I heard myself saying “I will not die! I will not die”.
I do not know who is reading this right now but if God can do it for me, He will do it for you. My miracle made a team of experience medical doctors to believe on miracles of our Lord Jesus Christ. Two months after I was clinically condemned, I went back again for a check-up. The doctor could not believe what he saw, he then invited other doctors in to check me over and over. The cancer has disappeared. No trace of it, thank you God! Thank you Jesus! It is now four years and I am cancer free! I am cancer free!
REVERSE THE CURSE
God is constantly reminding us that there is power in our tongue. Once we change our thinking then our words will change. Once our words change then our body system will change. “As a man thinks so he is” Jesus Christ said “Behold I have given you the power and the authority to trample on serpents and on scorpions, power over all principalities and over all powers of darkness and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19).
There must be an agreement between your spirit and your body in touching a thing to get it establish. Your destiny is in the hands of God. Your time has not come. Confess to your life what you desire.
