Couple Shares Remarkable Turnaround in Their 18-Year Childless Journey, Credits Grace Nation International and Dr. Chris Okafor
In a heartwarming revelation at a special dedication service in Lagos last Sunday, a couple shared their poignant story of enduring an 18-year childless marriage, only to witness a miraculous transformation as they finally welcomed their long-awaited son into the world.
Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, who tied the knot in 2005, endured nearly two decades of longing before experiencing the joy of parenthood in late 2023. Their emotional testimony captivated thousands of congregants at the Grace Nation International Church in Ojodu-Berger, Lagos, as they expressed profound gratitude for the divine intervention that changed their lives forever.
Mrs. Stella Jackson, radiating with joy, stood out among the mothers dedicating their children at the ceremony, as she openly thanked God for the grace that transformed her from a barren woman to a proud mother, defying the odds of her advanced age.
The couple attributed their miraculous journey to divine guidance, crediting the Grace Nation International Church and its revered leader, Dr. Chris Okafor. They recounted how Dr. Okafor, known as the ‘Oracle of God,’ prophesied and prayed for them, ultimately bringing an end to their years of childlessness through the power of the Holy Spirit.
“Our story of childlessness spans 18 long years, marked by ridicule and skepticism from friends, foes, and family members,” the couple shared with a rapt audience during the church service.
“Many had written us off, especially after I had entered menopause. It seemed impossible, akin to the biblical tale of Abraham and Sarah. But God, through His servant Dr. Chris Okafor, proved that nothing is beyond His reach. His prophecy came to fruition, and I conceived and bore a child, just as He had foretold,” Mrs. Jackson recounted with tears of joy.
Dressed in immaculate white attire, the couple danced joyously, drawing admiration from the congregation, who marveled at the miraculous turnaround in their lives. Their newborn son, aptly named “Emmanuel,” symbolized God’s presence and intervention in their journey to parenthood.
Their testimony comes ahead of the anticipated ‘Harvest of Babies’ program, an annual event at the Grace Nation International Church known for its plethora of testimonies, particularly those celebrating breakthroughs in barrenness. This year’s edition, scheduled from March 27-31, 2024, promises to be an unforgettable experience at the church’s new auditorium in Ojodu-Berger, Lagos.
