If you are a Cricket fan you would probably, remember the year 1999. 17th of June 1999, was the Day South Africans took on the Champion Favourites Australia on a semi-finals encounter, we watched this match with great excitement. But the day finished with a lot of tension for my wife,me and our relatives.....
My wife was admitted to the Hospital a little before midnight for the delivery of our baby.
My wife had rheumatic carditis, so she was on penicillin, every month. One of her arteries were thinner due to the sickness, so delivering a baby had only to be an act of GOD. But by the touch of our mighty GOD, she had no signs of un easiness due to this, entire 9 months she had strength and courage, more importantly eager-to-go feeling, even when others doubted.
The night of the 17th June was agonising for my wife, while she was in labour pains, she had started bleeding, but the Doctor who was watching her, had insisted on a normal delivery. Until 5 o'clock in the morning she had been bleeding, but the Doctors have taken it lightly. A little after 5 a.m. the Senior doctor whom we had been consulting through out the 9 months had visited her had immediately taken her to the theatre.
The baby was taken out with a Cesarean. But due to a placenta previa, the baby had been out of the womb while inside, and was born breathless. For about 5 minutes he has not responded.
Finally after he was resuscitated, he was immediately taken to an incubator for further scrutiny.
We had know clue as to why this was happening.
We had two problems lingering in our minds, one was my wife's sickness as the cause of this, second was the treatment for rubella she took about 2 months before tested positive of pregnancy.
No Doctor could explain to both of us the reason why our baby was in the incubator, no relative or Friend could help us, during this torrid time. No! not even one could comfort us, instead we were depressed and de-moralized by our own relatives,except for some of our dear people who strengthened us in the lord,and prayed unceasingly. Some thought that our baby will have to go.
Some said even if He were to live, He will be a differently abled person.
We had no hope,except for some of our dear people,who strengthened us in the Lord.
But as humans we were weak, had no strength to go on.
We had only one option, TO PRAY TO OUR MIGHTY GOD. Because he brought us up until the time the baby came to this world, against all odds. We were both unceasingly prayed. Wife prayed in the hospital corridors, bed, toilet, and where ever she could be alone. I prayed in office,Roads, Paddy Fields, where ever I could be alone. The crying, the trauma no body new.
2 weeks our baby was under intensive care.
Finally after 2 weeks the Lord delivered our baby.
Doctors said he might have Brain damages, but today his pet subjects are Mathematics and Information Technology. He is showing overall success in all the subjects. In sports too he is very energetic.
When doctors wanted us to be care full with him, the LORD has made him a healthy successful child.
Above all he loves Jesus. One subject he excels in is Christianity...... to know more and more of the LORD.
Praise be to our LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST for our son HERSCHELLE ( I gave him this name in remembrance of the semi-final match we were watching during the day before he was born to this world. Also we love this name because they say in Hebrew it means DEER).
Very Important !!! "Please send your Testimony to my email : saga1966@gmail.com, for me to post it in my blog. This is very important. You don't have to mention who you are,or where you come from.Please don't mention names, in a way the glory to GOD will be undermined.This is because it is not Names or people that transforms you,but the All mighty GOD.Remember if you really want people to be saved, your testimony and your experiences, are the ones GOD has given you. Share your testimony, from small tiny little encounters to the best and great ones. Time is too short, but we can be a part of great things, and that's what counts. Because there are Millions, if not Billions to be Saved."
