TESTIMONY: Pastor Okunola Barnabas

    For those of you who are still trusting and going through the period of waiting for the blessing of children, be encouraged that God cannot fail. Delay is definitely not denial. Is it mockery, pressure, alternative solutions etc, we experienced all that but stood firm because we knew whom we believed. It was a very trying period but the Lord gave us grace. As Senior pastors of a church where we constantly prayed for couples trusting God for the fruit of the womb and had several testimonies of God answering speedily,it was quite trying for us but we knew the Lord was faithful,dependable and reliable. We waited patiently upon the Lord in humility with faith and hope.
We got married in March 1998 and had our first pregnancy ten years later(2008). We were overjoyed and awaited the arrival of our bundle of joy . However,we lost it at twenty two weeks. We were devastated to say the least but trusted and kept believing that God cannot lie.
Last year (2014) we were expecting a set of triplets but lost them at twenty five weeks. It was a big blow but the Lord saw us through that turbulent period and healed our broken hearts. All through the period of waiting and trusting God,He gave us the privilege to parent several children,youths and adults. We used every opportunity to better the lives of those who the Lord brought our way. We wept severally and yearned for biological children but God gave us strength not to brood but ensured we were good parents to all and sundry. We encourage those who are waiting to continually trust God because He is faithful.
Our message to those who have been mocked and pressurized because of their situation; you will give your testimony like us. Please wipe your tears, God is not partial. You will also laugh last and savour the joy of having a child you can call yours. Our testimony is that of God's absolute mercy, an unwavering belief that no one created by God is barren and that God’s time is truly the best.
Dearly beloved, it pleased God to bless us with our miracle baby ASHER TOLULOPE OREOFE,CHUKWUEBUKA, OKUNOLA on Tuesday 5th May, 2015 at OAKBEND MEDICAL CENTER.22003 SPOUTHWEST FREEWAY.RICHMOND.TX 77469. Houston Texas; after seventeen years of marriage. Words are not enough to express our gratitude to God who showed Himself faithful and brought it to pass in His time. We also use this medium to appreciate members of Potters House Church all over the world,our friends and family members for praying and trusting God with us. You are next in line for a miracle,this is your time! God bless you,we love you.
Barnabas/Nkechi Okunola
