I used to be very active for my age. I worked very hard to provide for my family. During
the day I would run my own shop, selling goods throughout the city. At night, I worked as
a security guard. I was very fit and very strong. It was a great job for me. My wife
and I had 7 children. You can imagine how much I had to work in order to provide for
them. Life was good. I made good money and had a big happy family. It was a normal day
just like any other. I was going to work when I felt something snap in my body. It didn't
feel like a broken bone, but as if my joints were loose. When I couldn't feel my toes,
I looked down to find that my leg had twisted. There was no instant pain, I just couldn't
move it. I happened to be near my church so I made my way there to find some help. The
Pastor prayed for my leg and told me that everything was going to be okay. The doctors
told me how much it would cost to operate on my leg. They said it might be rheumatism.
There was no way for me to be able to pay for this operation and to still be able to
provide for my family. Less than two months later I began to have severe pain throughout
my whole body. I wasn't able to do anything without someone helping me. I couldn't even
walk on my own. For the first few months some of my family members helped me and supported
me. As time went by and I was still unable to work my family rejected me. I was useless
to them. There was no way for me to work with this disability. I was forced to beg on the
streets for food. There were many days I wasn't sure if my children were going to have anything
to eat. I was always a hard worker. I did everything on my own. It was so humiliating
to rely on other people. My friend told me that I should give up. I should end my life.
But I trusted God. I knew He had the solution. I put all of my trust in Him. One day while
I was begging a man handed me a Christ for all Nations flier. He was advertising the
crusade here in Kumasi. He told me that I should come because God would heal me of my
sickness and give me new legs. Crippled legs are receiving strength right now, right now,
right now in the name of Jesus. I speak to every crippled leg in the name of Jesus Christ
of Nazareth, rise up and walk! When the man of God began to pray, I also prayed to God
asking Him to heal my back and then I had a feeling that I had never felt before. I
could feel an intense heat all over my back. At first I thought someone hit me from behind.
Before I could check, I realized that I could feel my toes! So I threw down my crutches
and started walking towards the stage. So you could not walk the way that you walk now...is
that true? No, I couldn't walk as I'm walking now. When I came I couldn't stand up. Wow,
look at this. We rejoice in what the Lord has done for you. Lord I thank you for touching
this brother. And I thank you that he will run in Jesus name. God I thank you that these
legs will be strong in Jesus name. After the crusade I walked all the way home with no
help. Once I got there my entire family embraced me, thanking God for my healing. Everyone
was so excited to see me. I don't have the words to express how thankful I am to God.
Thank you Jesus for healing me. Thank you for restoring my life.
