NOW after a while, the Morrows started looking forward to finding joy again. They wanted kids.
For when people say one should never give up hope, it appears as though even our breath is hope.
Well, this breath we take is Hope. So when we give up hope, we give up life. We give up the chance to live a dream. We give up on us.
Now the Morrows didn’t. They dared to live their dreams. They dared to hope.
But there they were, the pregnancy suddenly stopped forming then. There were no signs of conception. Life went that hard.
But right at the time, a rainbow appeared. And Future was born.
It was March 1986, and the wind of God’s Spirit had changed Nigeria.
There was a huge hunger for God and the wonders He alone can do.
Then there were more outreaches, then more miracles in church.
So this day came and the couple went for a church program.
It was an outreach; so people had gathered with issues only God could solve.
Banji and Grace were among the thousands gathered there.
Well, the couple were disciples under the ministry of Enoch Adeboye.
Then the Lord had called the revivalist to both shepherd and preach; to pastor and to reach.
So that time, Pastor Adeboye held his outreach in church. Then it reached beyond the walls.
Now in that big outreach, the first two weeks of March then, there went mighty proofs of God’s power.
There were the blind who saw, the crippled who walked – and diseases being healed at the name of Jesus Christ.
Then in the middle of all this, God spoke in the preacher’s ears.
He paused amid the sermon, and said:
‘The Lord says, “There is a woman here: You have had two miscarriages in a row, and even now you think you will not conceive.”
‘Daddy asked me to tell you, “Prepare for a full house.” Because He is giving you two sets of twins!’
That moment was the miracle. A resounding amen tore through the crowd.
There was suddenly joy springing up in dry ground. And in one corner of that place, a 31-year-old woman was up in tears.
‘That is me!’ she cried. ‘Yes, that is me! It is me!’
There are no apt words for this; but Grace knew this was her.
She wished she could prove it, then God did.
For she missed her next flow—and cried.
