A – I got married in October 30, 1999. My Marriage will be 17years by October.
Q – How has this journey of over 16years been?
A – it’s been a wonderful journey to the glory of God because of the kind of husband he gave me and the kind of in-laws I have. Though, there are challenges but we have been able to get through with God’s help and our mutual understanding. Even going through what we went through could have been only God and His grace that saw us through.
Q – Talking about what you went through, could you please; take us through it all and how it turned out to be a thing of celebration today? AMAZING STORY OF A MOTHER OF TRIPLET AFTER 16 YEARS OF BARRENNESS
A – Like every young lady, I was expectant thinking the next month of our wedding I will get pregnant but it didn’t happen. Month in, month out, thinking it will be this month or next with hope upon hope.
When our marriage was 7years,the Lord gave us a revelation that we will have a set of Twins. My husband heard it clearly and we had the name of the babies. We were thinking it will happen the next month but nothing. Then, we kept on hoping, trusting, believing and throughout the period, I thank God for the grace He gave us because it was never an issue for one day but you know, for a woman, one will feel tensed up and all. But then, I want to thank God for the great and wonderful in-laws He gave me; praying together with us and we were one.

I kept on going for prayers. I remember, there was a day I packed my things and went to a mountain that if God will not do it, I was not coming back home. Then, my husband was looking for me, though he knew where I would be since I was not in Prayer city or Redemption camp because I’ve been to that mountain before along Lagos-Ibadan expressway. He came there with one of my Cousins staying with us. I was inside the sun praying when someone tapped me, he just said ‘go and pack your things and let’s go home’ I said no, I wasn’t following him until God do something. Then he said ‘but God has promised us and in His time, He will do it after all I’m not pestering or disturbing you.’ We left that mountain together that day.
Later, our G. O. In MFM called me and said I should stop film location for now because I am a drama minister. He said let’s face this issue once and for all. Then, before this miracle eventually happened, he kept saying to me ‘di e lo loku’ (meaning we are very close, it just remain a little time) but to me no sign and nothing was happening.AMAZING STORY OF A MOTHER OF TRIPLET AFTER 16 YEARS OF BARRENNESS
A month to the time this miracle happened too, I was in our bedroom with my husband and it was the June Holy Ghost service of Redeemed Christian Church of God. We were watching the programme that night and I went into a trance. Then, Daddy G. O. Said people that have Thanksgiving should come to the altar. I started dancing seriously to the altar, then, on getting there I noticed I was the only one. I began to wonder that out of these crowd I was the only one, I didn’t mind but I continued dancing. Then at a point, I looked at where Daddy G. O. Was sitting, he smiled at me and nodded his head as a form of assurance and confirmation. I was so happy and I kept on dancing. Thereafter, Daddy G. O. Said we should drop our Thanksgiving offering. I checked the pocket of my clothes and found a note of foreign currency and a thousand naira. I dropped the one thousand naira being the higher denomination. Immediately I dropped the money, I opened my eyes. I was still very happy and what I felt was so real. On the chair I was sitting I just told my husband what had happened and he said it is settled, I replied him that yes, I believe. I asked him what they were doing and he said Thanksgiving. I just told him I’ve done my own but then I was still very happy and what I felt was just too real.
We have been having vigil together in the house during this period, so, that night I told my husband I wanted to just worship God for what He has done but he continued with the prayers. After my worship, I joined him.
When I woke up the next day, I was still very happy and I told my husband, this thing is still very real. He then told me the revelation he had, where he sent a text to our G. O. in MFM that God has done it and the G. O. replied with Praise the Lord. We just believed there and then.AMAZING STORY OF A MOTHER OF TRIPLET AFTER 16 YEARS OF BARRENNESS
The next month I got a confirmation that I was pregnant. For some weeks, I was sick and was always on drip. Later, I was to travel to America to see a Doctor. The Doctor did the scan and we were told it was a set of triplet. We just looked at each other. I was blank, I didn’t know what to say or do. Then I said, so, this womb that couldn’t carry just one for years is now carrying three? This can only be God. Prior to this time, I had told God to please give me the strength of a 20year old when He will finally do it and sincerely that’s what He gave me.
At a time in the US during the scan, one of the Doctors said he doesn’t know if I will allow them inject one because of my age. Then I said I don’t get, like kill one and he replied that no, not really kill. That it’s a normal thing if I know I’m tired and can’t carry three, they can just help to inject one or two of the babies. I looked at him and said the Lord who has given them to me will give me the strength.
To the glory of God, today, the three are alive, doing great and the Lord is renewing my strength.
I want to say a big thank you to my husband. We now do that vigil together. There are times he will even tell me to go and sleep and he will do everything.
Q – How old are you now Ma?
A – I am 42years
Q – Can we say your husband was supportive because he is a Pastor or because of the assurance God was giving you per time?
A – I will say the fact that we are Pastors is one but it’s just the grace of God. I said because we are Pastors we have people with the same challenge coming to us, we will counsel them, pray with them and to the glory of God they will get result. Then we will have to go for their naming ceremony. But in all, the God factor can not be Overemphasized, He was really there for us. I remember when I got back from the US with the babies, People started coming to celebrate with us and there was this particular woman who said she cried when she heard because really some of our member didn’t know we were trusting God. Some people thought our children were studying abroad. She said that was her thought too, that how insensitive she had been. Then coupled with the fact that I was always happy and looking younger that no one will know. I just smiled and told her it was God.
Q – How did your husband feel after the whole thing?
He was elated and even now over pampering me. You know, you can’t explain the joy. The whole family and even people are happy with us.
Q – Was there a time you considered IVF before God did it?
A – Yes, I did artificial insemination twice but without success. I believe the whole thing was for God to be glorified. We went for medical examinations and we were both certified Okay.
Q – Do you still have a Mother-in-law?
A – Yes
Q – How was her reaction all those years of waiting, as the general believe is Mothers-in-law are…
A -… (cuts in) ahhhhhhhhhhh…. She was very supportive. Her kind is rare. I tell you, she has always been a mother to me and believe me she never for one day raised it with me. All she did was to call and pray for and with me. I mean for the whole of the over 16years, Mama never for one day discussed this issue with me. Instead, she will call my husband and ask him how far and what are we doing. Then, my husband will tell her God’s in control. She will then call me to just assure me that God’s in control. As we speak now, she is in my house with my mother. We have always been one even with my husband’s siblings.
Q – What will your advice be to people trusting God?
Firstly, my advice will go to SINGLES: be patient and don’t rush into marriage. Whatever God is not in support, He will not back up. Wait for His time. God can lead you to a godly spouse; His will for you if you allow Him. It will be easy for you even when challenges come because there will be challenges.
To the Married men, some men can be terrible when it comes to issues like this. This morning, we had to settle an issue like that of a couple trusting God for I think 7 or 8years that has degenerated to the man hitting the wife. If men can be patient enough, women will be more relaxed. If the pressure is not coming from the man, it will be easier for the woman. Good relationship with the In-laws is very important as well. So, husbands should be in one accord with their wives. Women should allow their minds to be at peace. Stop thinking, wait on the Lord and trust Him fully. Allow God to prove His faithfulness. Since you can’t do it, why not allow Him?
Dress well, eat healthy meals, look good and smile. Don’t put everything on your head as if the world is crumbling. You will never see me those days we were waiting and believe I was going through such because I usually dress well and I was eating well because if you’re not doing all these, you will look older than your age. You can together with your husband be helping the less privileged and help the widows.
I will say to you just be happy, look radiant and beautiful. Once you’ve prayed, trust and believe God.
