Leviticus 19:4 “Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves molded gods: I am the Lord your God.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Indeed the Lord has done great things for our brother and his family. <\/span>
\nRead his testimony<\/span><\/p>\n

My name is Brother Joshua Mkpuma. I am an indigene of Ebonyi State. I reside at Enugu State in Nigeria. The Lord has furnished my household with testimonies which are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, I want to appreciate God for delivering me and my family from idolatry which lasted for years. Prior to this time, my family worshipped idols except my mother but today, the story has changed. My family is now a Christian family and God has also granted me genuine salvation.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the year 2012, we experienced a lot of terrible things as a result of idol worshipping and that led to my decision to destroy the idol and by the grace of God I destroyed it. People feared because most people after destroying the idols in their family drop dead but God has preserved my life to date.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, I want to thank God for turning my sorrows into Joy. God changed my status from an okada (motorcycle) rider to a car owner. He also gave me the grace to build a house in my hometown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, I want to appreciate God for breaking the yoke of barrenness in my marriage. <\/span>I got married in 2014. Since then, we were childless. My wife had a series of miscarriages amidst other challenges as well. In 2020, my wife had a miscarriage when she was 7 months pregnant, it was very painful. I didn’t know what next to do, I summoned courage and took the little money I had and gave a thanksgiving offering to the Lord. A week later, an angel of God appeared to me, telling me to tell my wife that she will give birth to a baby boy and his name shall be called EBUBECHUKWU and that I should tell her to cry no more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Less than a month after the revelation, she conceived and gave birth to my first son and we named him EBUBECHUKWU. It didn’t end there, this last month June 2023, God gave me another son.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
