A peculiar birth week 39, 2010

My son, sit down. You cannot afford to fail God in your generation do you hear me? This is the third time I am calling you to say this. “Yes mum, I know it was God who brought me into this world.” Before I formed you in the belly I knew you; and before you came forth out of the womb I consecrated you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations Jer 1:5(MKJV).
Yes, your father and I did not want you to come, Satan fought that you do not, but God chose that you did. I put on the loop so as not to get pregnant, and had your sister with it. In your own case I had not only the loop on, but also I was taking depo provera injections. No woman is supposed to get pregnant with that combination yet you were implanted in my womb. The gynaecologist now a professor in charge of my case said to me “Amaka I don’t know what God has planned to do with you”. In spite of these you were well formed. For You have possessed my inward parts; You have covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are marvelous and my soul knows it very well. My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret and skillfully formed in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my embryo; and in Your book all my members were written, the days they were formed, and not one was among them Ps 139:13-16(MKJV).
Satan fought that you should not come into this world, apart from the circumstances around my conceiving you Satan still planned that you should not come. “Yes, you told me I was premature.” Not just premature. At 7 months of pregnancy I was at Nsukka doing my postgraduate work, alone in the house of my supervisor. He had handed the keys over to me and traveled. In the night, about 2am I suddenly noticed I was in a pool of water: the waters of my womb had burst. You know what I did? I rolled up my face towel and it became my pad. I phoned a sister and told her I was in distress and entered my car to return to Enugu that night.
On the way at Eha Alumona junction I ran into masquerades. The odo masquerade people were on, and you know, a woman is not meant to see it. I prayed “Lord, you made blind eyes see; now make seeing eyes blind” and passed over; no one harassed me. When I got into UNTH the doctors said “This is a case of eclampsia” and scheduled me for emergency surgery. I replied “Eclampsia is not for me.” The doctor took me to theatre that night. No blood was available. I was paper white at the end but both of us came out safely.
But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth 1Tm 2:15(BBE). God has a plan for you in this generation. Don’t fail Him. Amaka lives in port Harcourt teaching and ministering.
