God is supreme and He has the final say. Sometimes we get answers to our prayers and because there has been some form of medical intervention, we tend to ascribe less praise to God, forgetting that some other people in similar circumstances have also had the same medical intervention but were not successful. God answers prayers in various ways. Thanks to medical technology and the medical practitioners for their care. However, we give the most glory to God who crowns the efforts with success and makes everything to work out well for our good (Psalm 127: 1-3). Below is an inspiring testimony from Mrs Bukola Ladipo as narrated by her.

God is good. God is real…..no controversy.

First I need to ask for forgiveness for keeping this testimony for a while. It’s long overdue.

I got married in 2010 and like any new wife I expected that our home will be blessed with a child in at least 12 months max. Hmmmm. Man proposes God laughs.

In fact I bought the lace material I’ll use for the naming ceremony while I was shopping for my engagement/thanksgiving cloth.

But 12 months turned to 7 Years and 7 days.
During those times, anytime I met any man of God I usually ask him/her to pray for me. I remember I met a particular pastor and as usual I asked him to pray for me. He asked me what my request was and I told him. He said he will not pray for me but that he will share a principle with me. He told me to always have it at the back of my mind that GOD IS REAL. He said I have access to Him just like any other person and I should just make sure I have a good relationship with God. Honestly, my life changed that day.

I took in 2015. My husband and I decided to keep it to ourselves. I didn’t even tell my Doctor. By the time I was ready to reveal ‘it’ unfortunately the pregnancy was no longer viable, my heart was broken. Apparently there was an injection that could have helped sustain the pregnancy if I had sought medical intervention early.

It was getting close to my 40th birthday and I decided that IVF (in vitro fertilization) was the solution. My prayer point was for God to lead me to a good IVF center. I was waiting to hear from God.

My Dad also took ill at that time and we feared for the worst. I prayed to God to please spare his life and let him see my children.

I remember one day I was discussing with a friend about my options and what I was praying for. She told me to change my point. She told me to ask God to go with me wherever I choose (for the IVF) rather than me waiting for a particular place to go. Hmmnnn… I keyed into it and went for the procedure.

My Doctor suggested a process of two IUI (intrauterine insemination) first before the IVF. The first IUI failed and then we decided to go straight for the IVF.
I thank the most high God that the very first IVF was successful! My twin girls came at exactly 7years and 7days of waiting! Perfection!

During the pregnancy I had severe preeclampsia but God delivered me.
I also thank God that I was able to now wear the lace I bought in 2010, 8 years after, when the twins clocked 1.

My Dad saw my children and passed on to glory less than 2 months after that. I thank God for answering my prayers.

The cute twins

To everyone waiting, be rest assured that God is good and God is real. His gifts are perfect and adds no sorrow.
