I
got ready to leave and was concerned that the sister on night duty was a bit
elderly and I was worried that she might not be alert, especially with Kechi's
fever. But I surrendered Kechi to God and left.
At
2.00 a.m., Eunice, my sister-in-law, called me frantically from America, saying
that someone had said the papers reported that Kechi had passed away. I figured
it must be the same news that Chike referred to. I reassured her that Kechi was
fine, but she was frantic, telling me to find a Mountain of Fire church and get
anointing oil to put on Kechi and make pronouncements to her that she will not die. Realizing how upset she
was, I promised to make enquiries. I
rebuked Satan, covered Kechi with the blood of Jesus, and went back to sleep.
I
woke up determined not to rush to the hospital, or phone them in reaction to
Eunice's call the previous night. I had made the decision to trust Him and lean
on Him completely, and I trusted Him to keep His word concerning Kechi. I would
leave for the hospital at the normal time, have breakfast in the hospital
cafeteria, as usual, then visit Kechi at 11.00am, as usual.
This
was harder than I thought, and it was not made easier when Eunice called again
around 9.00am. I knew she thought I had seen Kechi already and without telling
her that I had not, I assured her that Kechi was fine...
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths”
