A Lagos-based woman, Jumoke, has shared a remarkable testimony of miraculous healing after years of debilitating health challenges that left her blind, lame, and unable to care for herself.
Her story, shared on the NSPPD Fire Altar last week, led by Pastor Jerry Eze of Streams of Joy International, has inspired many, leaving viewers and NSPPDians, including the convener, betraying emotions.
Rattled by the drastic, incredible testimony conveyed in a video, a flurry of doubters punctured its authenticity, saying the image of the woman showing when she was being afflicted contrasted with her present state.
As a result, the woman-of-four, during the same week, headed to the live programme in Abuja where Pastor Eze featured her live on the altar for interviews.
Speaking of her ordeal, Jumoke, who became a widow during her ordeal, recounted, “As of 25th April 2024, five days after my 50th birthday, I was blind, lame, and unable to do anything. All my organs had stopped functioning. This was how I was before I joined NSPPD.”
Her journey of affliction began in 2016 with severe knee pains and general weakness. She sought medical attention, including visits to general hospitals, where doctors diagnosed her with chronic liver disease.
Despite undergoing treatment, her condition deteriorated. Jumoke, who had been working with the Lagos State Ministry of Education, began losing weight drastically. From 90kg in 2016, she became frail. A biopsy led to the removal of her womb and reproductive organs, but no definitive diagnosis was made. “After the surgery, it got worse. I was brought down rapidly. Tired and frustrated, I stopped treatment,” she shared.
Desperate and overwhelmed, she turned to suicidal attempts, consuming fuel and detergents in her anguish. “I drank fuel, but my son saw me and called out to neighbours who intervened. Another time, I drank bleach mixed with detergent, but nothing happened. El-Roi is awesome. When He says it’s not time, it’s not time,” Jumoke reflected.
By the time her condition worsened, she was completely blind and lame. She was moved to Ibadan in April 2024, where doctors discovered severe typhoid and an alarmingly low PVC level. “I hadn’t taken a bath for three years because whenever water touched my body, it felt like a million needles pricking me,” she recalled.
In her despair, Jumoke clung to a simple prayer: “God, make me a candidate for your mercy.” Her turning point came when her brother, inspired by a word of knowledge shared during an NSPPD prayer session on 9th May 2024, encouraged her to believe in divine intervention.
“My brother based in Canada was convinced I would come out of the hospital alive. When I regained my sight, he sent me clips from the NSPPD prayer sessions. I realised it was the same fire altar I had been introduced to but couldn’t pray at the time,” she said.
Through the pravers and support from the NSF fire altar, Jumoke experienced complete healing.
“God saw me in my dirty state and sent healing. I give Him all the glory,” she said, overwhelmed with gratitude.
Her testimony has become a beacon of hope for many grappling with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Jumoke’s story underscores the transformative power of faith and the persistent prayers of the NSPPD community.
NSPPD, an online prayer platform with the slogan “What God Cannot Do Does Not Exist,” has gained global recognition for testimonies of divine healing and restoration.
Jumoke’s testimony is one among thousands attributed to the movement led by Pastor Jerry Eze.
