FROM NO WAY
TO HIGH WAY
Approximately, two years ago,
I received my degree in Civil
Engineering and a MSc in
Project Management. I
started to look for a job however, I was
unable to secure one. Every time I applied
the refusal feedback was always the same. I
did not have any practical experience. I put
my trust in God for a job and kept on praying
although I was discouraged.
In 2018, I started working as a
construction labourer. I faced
a lot of humiliation and was
very discouraged. The pay was
low and I constantly stuggled
with wanting to leave. I thank
God for my wife and her
encouragement that kept me
going.
I eventually became a
construction ground worker.
My new boss was always
complaining and had no
patience as he did not
want to show me how things
worked.
After the International
Gathering of Champions
(IGOC), I began working
with a new engineer and as
God would have it, he was a
young man from Zimbabwe, a who
had been my fellowship president at University.
When I saw him, we greeted each other and I
explained my situation. He embraced me and
said “Don’t worry I will help you.” God had
sent a divine helper. The young man spoke to
the project manager and I became my friend’s
chainman. He started showing me everything
I needed to know. He also gave me a lot of
encouragement and helped me to apply for jobs.
After a few months, when the project we were
working on was about to come to an end, I
was made redundant. However, during the
2019 Spring Bible Conference, Pastor Korede
Kamaiya spoke on audacity. That message
unlocked something within me and I updated
my CV and uploaded it on lots of job sites.
To the glory of God, after IGOC 2019, I
recieved a call from an agency for me to be part
of one of biggest highway jobs in the UK with
fantastic pay. The Lord has been so good to me
and I thank Him for what He has done in my
life. Praise the Lord.

In n June 2019, my 98 year old grandma fell ill
in Zambia. She had never been sick before so
I knew I had to travel and be with her as God
kept prompting me to go and witness to her.
My grandma was religious but not saved. I
spent three weeks at her bedside. She accepted
Jesus and died two days later. She was the first of her
generation to receive Christ. Glory be to Jesus.
A day after I returned to London, I experienced pain in
my chest. I was rushed to hospital as I could not breathe.
At the hospital I was told that I
had angina.
I have always been healthy and never taken
medication. During that week, I nearly had
a heart attack. The cardiologist kept saying
“You are one lucky woman. Many people
end up on my table battling for their life.” I
looked at him and said “I’m not lucky, I have
Jesus.”
I had an operation and had a stent implanted
in my left artery. I was told that I was a type
2 diabetic with high blood pressure and
extremely high cholesterol. I was given eight
different tablets to take on a daily basis.
One day, I looked at the cardiologist and I
thought to myself ‘The devil is a liar. I know
this is because of what I went to do with my
grandmother.’
I began to pray and decree the Word over my
body. When I attended my next appointment
the doctors were shocked as everything
was back to normal. Glory to God. Thank
you Pastor Matthew and Pastor Yemisi for
teaching us the undiluted Word of God.

RESTORED

In 2015, I had a dream someone was injecting my
stomach. I prayed, uprooted and cancelled that
dream. Time passed and I attended an appointment
for a smear test. Shortly before the test I started
experiencing stomach pain. I thought it was just a
normal stomach ache, so I attended work as normal but on
the third day the pain gradually increased and eventually
became constant.
I took some pain killers but the pain did not go. It was quite
severe at this point. I asked my employer for permission to go
home.
The next day I rushed to my GP. A nurse came to examin
me and called in the doctor because she suspected that I had
appendicitis. The doctor gave me a note and told me to go
immediately to the hospital. When I handed over the note
at the hospital, I was examined, given pain medication and
prepared for surgery.
After surgery, when I opened my eyes, I was on a ward. The
next day the consultant came to inform me that when they
had gone to do the surgery they did not find anything. I was
discharged but when I got home the pain started again. I was
up all night so I called an ambulance. At A & E, I suffered
with a lot of pain during the long waiting time. The friends
who came with me tried to calm me down but I even
scratched them. When I was called, I was given more
pain medication and told that I had an infection.
The Chief Consultant informed me that everything
would be OK and that he would arrange for a
radiologist to drain the incision. However, if the
draining did not work another surgery would
be scheduled. I was transferred to await the
radiologist. When they arrived he said I
was lucky but I said in my mind, ‘It is not
luck but the God I serve.’ The surgeons
were not satisfied and they did a
second surgery to wash the infection
out. I was finally discharged after 6
weeks, but was diagnosed with so
many complications, including
fibromyalgia (always in pain).
I returned to Bible school
and I thank God the Dean
was praying for me as it
was a challenge to cope with the workload but the Lord saw me
through.
Eventually, I realised that the nurse had incorrectly carried out
the smear test and that triggered my appendix to burst. The
doctor told me he was sorry but I thank God that I am alive.
During The River and again at The Rain services, Pastor Mathew
called me to the altar and while praying he pulled me out of
all the problems saying “God is restoring you.” I thank Pastor
Matthew for allowing himself to be used by God for all of us. I
bless and thank God for Pastor Yemisi. On my first day back to
church I saw her and she was so motherly to me. It only makes
me love her more. I don’t know how many days anyone can
survive with a burst appendix without dying, but God kept me
going. If God is for you, no one can harm you. Praise God.

DIVINE DISCOUNT

JESUS KEPT US SAFE

On the Monday before
the Winning Women
Convention, I was in
a car being driven by a
faithful woman of God. As we drove
along a dimly lit country road in
Essex, we both perceived a worrying
sight about 100 metres in the
We run a chain of
childcare properties
and one in particular
had been rented for
the last 7 years. The owners decided
they wanted to sell the property for
£1.2 million. My husband
said “It’s over 1 million,
therefore, we will
not buy the
property.”
During
services,
I would cry
out to God knowing that Pastor
Matthew has always told us that
he never buys property for the full
asking price. Anytime he made this
statement, I would scream Amen
with all of my strength.
I held on to Philippians 1:6 – “And I
am certain that God, who began the
good work within you, will continue
his work until it is finally finished on
the day when Christ Jesus returns,”
handing the matter over to God.

was swerving violently from side to
side almost as if it was being driven
by someone who had lost total
control of the steering wheel.
At this point, all conversation
stopped as we watched the

prospective buyers and developers but
God knew best. My husband and I
brought the property for £372,000
less than half the asking price.
Thank you Pastor Matthew and
Pastor Yemisi. There would be no

I would also like to say a big thank
you to Pastor Ade, Pastor Esther and
Pastor Dipo for helping me remain

God bless you KICC.

nightmarish scene being played out before
us. There is no doubt that my friend driving
was praying. She stopped the car as the other
car hurtled directly towards us. A head-on
crash seemed inevitable and in that moment
I screamed “Jesus!” The other car stopped
coming towards us and swerved out of our lane.
We have no idea what happened to the car or
the driver, but the name of Jesus is the strong
tower that kept us safe.

Jesus replied, “There are some things
that people cannot do, but God can do
anything.” Luke 18:27 CEV
And I will give you treasures hidden in the
darkness, secret riches; and you will know
that I am doing this—I, the Lord, the God
of Israel, the one who calls you by your

When he calls on me, I will answer; I will be with him
in trouble and rescue him and honor him.
Psalm 91:15 TLB
We live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered
by the God who is above all gods. This I declare,
that he alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is
my God, and I am trusting him. Psalm 91:1-2 TLB
