1 Samuel 2.1
And Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.
Testimony :
My family and I want to bear witness to the power of the living God.
He who calls into existence that which does not exist, the One True God. I lift up His name and my soul proclaims it forever.
When I got married, my husband and I lived in two different countries, but I came to his country very regularly. While we were trying to have a child, we went to the hospital and the doctors reassured us that there was no problem. Yet I still couldn’t conceive. Then we decided that I would move to my husband’s country.
I left to join him in his country, and that’s how I conceived twice. But every time I got pregnant, I immediately lost them.
My husband and I went back to the hospital and the doctor’s diagnosis revealed that I had fibroids, which were probably what was preventing me from conceiving.
Despite the doctors’ words, my husband and I kept trying, but to no avail.
From my second miscarriage in 2015 until 2024, I never got pregnant again.
That’s how I started to get depressed, to lament. I was so unhappy. So much so, that when I saw advertisements for pregnant women, I cried and lamented my life every time.
So I decided to seek God and he led me to this church. But in my heart I wasn’t really present to seek God, but above all His hand, His ability. And I realized that with the Lord, it doesn’t work like that.
To grow and know the Lord better, I joined Holy Spirit College. The teachings I received did me a lot of good. We were taught how to pray, how to receive the word, how to stand on the Word (the Rock) to pray… It was wonderful.
After a while, the Holy Spirit made me realize that my eyes were on the man of God. I thought he was the man of God who was going to help me have my children. But the Lord took me back, telling me to turn my eyes to Him alone and not to a man, that it’s He who gives children, the pastor shows me the way, the path, how to pray, but it’s He, God, who provides.
So I continued to be taught and to grow spiritually.
I didn’t want to go to the doctor because of this situation. But at my husband’s insistence, we returned to the hospital.
The doctors proposed an operation to remove the fibroids.
After the operation, the doctor told me that I wouldn’t be able to have children, that he’d tried everything and that there was nothing more he could do…
Not only because of the position of the fibroids, but also because of their size. He told me that the fibroids had completely blocked my fallopian tubes and that it was impossible for me to conceive.
I thought before the operation that six months later I would be pregnant, but nothing happened.
So I gave the glory to God and decided to give my heart entirely to Jesus. I turned to God alone.
I realized then that the desire to have children had become an idol in my heart, that it had taken the place of God.
But the Lord in His love has brought me deeply back to His Word: I must praise Him, bless Him for His sake; glorify Him for things visible and invisible…
My husband, too, encouraged me, telling me to see what God had already done to us, bless Him for it and the rest will follow.
And I became deeply attached to the Lord. I continued to keep faith and my eyes on Him; glorifying Him for His goodness in my life and for things to come.
And the Lord has remembered us!
After 10 years of waiting, without any effort, our child took place in my womb.
Mespite all the doctors’ verdicts to the contrary, the Lord has once again demonstrated His Power.
The Lord knew how to position him in me, and the pregnancy went well without any worries. Our child was born for the glory of God alone.
My husband and I give all the glory to our Redeemer Jesus. Hallelujah!
