FROM THE FIRE TO DIVINE PRESERVATION: A TESTIMONY OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS, PRESERVATION

First and foremost, I return all the glory, honour and adoration to the Almighty God for His unfailing faithfulness over my life and family. Indeed, He has proven Himself to be the God who preserves, delivers, restores and never fails.

As we celebrate 30 years of God’s faithfulness through the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, I consider it a privilege to share what God has done in my family. My testimony is a combination of extraordinary acts of divine intervention, preservation, answered prayers and transformation. Looking back at everything we have experienced, I can confidently say that God has been exceptionally faithful.

1. DIVINE PRESERVATION FROM A DEVASTATING FIRE – MARCH 29- 2026

It all began on March 29, 2026. At about 1:00 a.m., shortly after participating in the Commanding the Day midnight prayers, I suddenly heard my neighbour screaming, “Fire! Fire! Fire!”

Without wasting time, we used our back door to escape the raging fire. Unfortunately, our landlord and his family were trapped inside the building. I immediately raised an alarm and shouted for help, attracting the attention of other neighbours who came to their rescue.

By God’s intervention, the family was eventually rescued. Although our landlord sustained burns on some parts of his body, he survived.

Looking back, I cannot explain this experience as anything other than God’s mercy and preservation. At a time when our lives could have been lost, God made a way of escape for us and ensured that help arrived for those who were trapped.

2. GOD PRESERVED MY HUSBAND FROM SUDDEN DEATH – JUNE 4, 2026

Just when we thought we had experienced enough, another frightening incident occurred on June 4, 2026.

At about 4:00 a.m., my husband went to the toilet. When he came out, I asked him to help me change over the electricity supply because the light was low. After some time, I noticed that he had not responded.

I began calling out, “Daddy Star! Daddy Star!” Unknown to me, he had already slumped on the balcony.

According to what he later told us at the hospital, it was the sound of my voice that brought him back to consciousness. He managed to get up and return to the room, but unfortunately, he slumped again.

At this point, I had to call our neighbours for help. They responded immediately, and my husband was rushed to the emergency unit.

I cannot adequately express my gratitude to God for the intervention of my home cell members. They stood with us, prayed with us and supported us in every way they could. Through the Dunamis Commission and the altar I am connected to, God showed Himself faithful once again.

My husband eventually recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

What makes this testimony even more remarkable is what we witnessed during that period. We encountered other patients who had suffered similar sudden collapse incidents, and sadly, many of them did not survive.

One man we met in the hospital, whose children later became close family friends, was discharged but reportedly died about two weeks later. On another occasion, while my husband was still receiving treatment and awaiting discharge, another patient was brought in after collapsing. Upon checking his pulse, the medical personnel confirmed that he had died.

These experiences made me appreciate God’s mercy even more. I do not take my husband’s survival for granted. God preserved him!

3. A REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION IN MY HUSBAND

There is another beautiful dimension to this testimony.

Before his hospital experience, my husband was someone who could drink alcohol almost every day. However, after he was discharged, he stopped drinking completely!

What is even more remarkable is that he redirected the money he previously spent on alcohol towards supporting our home cell’s Saturday Love Feast.

Today, through our home cell, we regularly organise Love Feasts, purchase food items and share them with members who fellowship with us.

And the transformation does not end there! My husband has also made the decision to join the church choir. By God’s grace, he will be undergoing his choir induction this Saturday.

This development fills my heart with so much joy and gratitude because I can see a beautiful change in his commitment to the things of God. Someone who previously spent almost every day drinking is now making a conscious decision to serve God with his voice and talent.

What a transformation! God did not only preserve my husband’s life; He also brought about a positive change in his lifestyle and a renewed desire to serve Him.

I give God all the glory!

4. GOD’S FAITHFULNESS THROUGH MY PREGNANCY AND SAFE DELIVERY

Another testimony I cannot leave out concerns the birth of my son, who will celebrate his first birthday on November 25, 2026.

During the Commanding the Day midnight prayer session on November 12, 2025, Papa mentioned my case and declared that a child was about to be born, but the devil was attempting to manipulate the situation.

Indeed, there were challenges, but God did not allow the enemy to have his way.

On November 24, 2025, when labour began, I visited a hospital to check how far I had dilated. After examining me and requesting a scan, the doctor suddenly informed me that my baby was in distress and needed to be delivered through an emergency operation immediately. He warned that the baby could die if the operation was not performed.

However, I refused to accept that report as the final verdict over my pregnancy. I immediately got up and declared that it was not what my God had shown me. I held firmly to the conviction that both my baby and I would live to declare the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

I left that hospital and decided to proceed to the hospital where I had registered for antenatal care.

After informing my husband, we arranged for my mother to stay with my daughter, and by about 9:00 p.m. that evening, we arrived at our registered hospital.

To the glory of God, the medical team attended to me, monitored my progress and eventually, my son was born safely!

Interestingly, the labour was even easier than my first delivery. I experienced no tears or complications. It was a smooth delivery, and both my baby and I were fine.

I also remember seeing two other women who had attended antenatal appointments around the same period as me. When I was leaving the hospital, they expressed how grateful they were that God had given me such a smooth delivery, praying that the same God would do the same for them.

Sadly, some of the other mothers were dealing with complications. One baby had jaundice, while another was born prematurely and had to receive special care in the neonatal ward.

Seeing all these made me appreciate my own experience even more. I do not take my safe pregnancy, successful delivery or the gift of my son for granted.

It was indeed God all the way!

5. MY TESTIMONY TO THE WORLD

Looking at everything God has done for my family, from preserving our lives during the fire incident, saving my husband’s life after he slumped, bringing transformation into his life and giving him a renewed desire to serve Him, to granting me a safe pregnancy and delivery, I can only say that God has been exceptionally faithful.

I am particularly grateful for the Dunamis International Gospel Centre, the powerful altar I am connected to, our home cell and the support of fellow believers. The prayers, encouragement and support we received reminded me that we are not alone in this journey of faith.

To everyone reading this testimony, I want you to know that God is still very much alive, and He remains on the throne. The God of yesterday is the same God today and forever. He still answers prayers, preserves lives, intervenes in difficult situations and performs miracles.

Never underestimate the power of staying connected to God, His Word, the altar of prayer and the fellowship of believers.

I also want to specially appreciate our beloved Papa and Mama for their tireless labour, commitment and sacrifice in advancing God’s Kingdom in this generation. May God continually strengthen them, preserve them, grant them fresh grace, greater dimensions of His anointing and more oil to continue the assignment He has committed into their hands.

To God alone be all the glory, honour and adoration.

Indeed, we are blessed to be part of this great Dunamis Commission, and we do not take this privilege for granted.

Thank You, Jesus!
