Every bit of this story is tue, and the names and places have not been changed either
Eze decided to exercise faith and stop taking medication for schizophrenia which hehad been placed on for over 10 years. It was alright for most of the year but he became ill again before our wedding and had to be brought before the doctor. It shook me up a bit to experience this in my future husband. I don’t like describing the details. He stopped the medication again before the wedding but took ill again after it. Perhaps his body was so used to the medication that stopping it made him, you know, unwell. In my presence the doctor in Britain said quite clearly that he must never again stop the medication. Now I respect doctors but when he said that something within me rebelled. I defy you! This will not be the lot of my husband. But adjusting to marriage was not easy for me. I was called from work one day he was ill and couldn’t get home, but my God brought him back home safely! One day I took down my pink box to pack out, but the Holy Spirit said to me: “Where are you going? This is your husband” and I knew I was going nowhere.
We were in for war. I determined to fill my life and Eze’s with the word of God. When we had money I invested it in the Word of God; anointed messages and books. When Pastor Chris would talk about John G Lake I would go and buy the book myself and read all of it. Eze liked to watch Star Trek but I wouldn’t let him. We just had to get in to the Word and get our victory. Several relations wanted us to visit but I said not yet; when we get the victory we can vist and watch Star Trek! Yes, we were off medication again after a week or so. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today-and forever! Heb 13:8(ISV)
In his office his supervisor started really harassing him and demanded a medical report. The GP proposed to write an unfavourable one stating Eze refuses drugs. He told us as much. On advice we demanded tests be carried out on Eze to show he really did not need medication. Suddenly the doctors developed cold feet! “Well, you know we should not really be giving you these medications...” and wouldn’t write any report. What! We had to go to another specialist to give his office since it had been officially demanded. This specialist wondered if Eze really knew what schizophrenia is and wanted to interview me. Well I went with him and was interviewed as well. You know the verdict? “Well I haven’t seen the doctor who placed you on these drugs but having examined you I find no basis for a diagnosis of schizophrenia and discharge you indefinitely. Maybe you just don’t know how to handle stress.” The British specialist had confirmed the answer to prayers we had received earlier. 18 years of bondage declared over! We took his report back to the office. Until today the other doctor has not written this specialist; and funny: not even my doctor in-law will fully explain what schizophrenia is to me. You can be sure of this: we are not going to look back in this heavenly race!
