SHOCKER! "I prayed for him to die" Nigerian Woman writes as her Son turns 18 (A Must Read)
A
Nigerian woman known as Nneka Anyachebelu took to Facebook to celebrate
her only son who turned 18 yesterday, June 24. In the post she talked
about her trails and tribulations concerning her son who suffered from
autism. Read the post below.
"I PRAYED FOR HIM TO DIE. Dont judge me,
wait untill you hear me
out.#Dilemma#Myonlyson#Autism#nohope#prayernotanswered#gaveupthefight#
He was a healthy awesome child when I had him but by age 2 we noticed
there was something wrong. There was no eye contact, he could not talk,
didnt understand instructions, and so many other bad vibes.
That
was when my nightmare started. I ran from pillar to post seeking
solution. In some places they said he was partially deaf at others they
said it was Autism. Up untill then I never heard the word Autism. The
information I got about it was frightening and I saw those signs clearly
in my son.
My life stood still. No school would
take him in as he couldnt settle. Finally and luckily an Indian lady
with a nursery school took him in, but my heart broke the Day I went to
pick him up from school and asked her politely how he was doing. Her
response was i don't know what to do with him. Am just a teacher not a
psychiatrist. I cried all the way home. Thoughts bombarded my mind.
Worst of all there was no answer to the tormenting thoughts.
An only son, Autism, was it
generational? Or the devil? No answer! Up untill then I was having a
swell time living my life to the fullest.. But with this dilemma I
crawled to God .I attended every Christian gathering, crusade, vigils;
just name it. I prayed; prayed , cried, fasted , sowed seeds but nothing
happened. The years went by and it seemingly got worst.
People were begining to notice there was
a problem I couldnt hide it any more. (By the way, dont try hidding
your shame if God doesnt hide it you can't hide it)
My husband was tired. My mother who was
perpetually encouraging me was tired, I was tired, exhausted and tired
of casting, binding, fighting and faithing, so I prayed for Him to die
so I could move on with my life.
(I wanted a short cut)
He didn't die instead he grew. Seeing
God wasn't ready to take him I went back to God again in prayer, I
repented and continued from where I stopped .Running from pillar to
post, church to church.
At one church I was told to go on one
week dry fast with consistent midnight prayers. At midnight when I came
down to pray I was usually afraid. One night as I came down for the
prayer routine, I heard a voice say to me how can you be praying and
afraid. You are afraid because you do not know the God you are praying
to.
At that point I packed up and went on a
quest to know this GOD!I stayed alone for 2weeks with only one prayer
point. ( God if you are real let me know you.). I spent more time within
those weeks studying the Word of God , and through the pages of the
Bible I came to know this GOD. After that 2weeks of word immersion I had
peace like I never had since the ordeal started. The burden for my son
to speak or get normal left me. I was just at peace with God and the
World.
About 3weeks later we travelled to
England on Holiday. We were in a shop on Oxford street when my son that
had never spoken came to me tapped me and asked me a question.
His first words to me were where is kamsy? He was asking for His older sister.
That was how my son started talking.
One thing led to another; he started doing things he couldnt do and like
magic caught up with his age mates.
It was like Magic! No Miracle.! Today I celebrate God as He turns 18.
There is nothing we dont talk about
now. From His school work to the Girls that likes him and the ones He
likes, lol.. Sometimes I even scold him that he talks too much,
correcting him that as a gentleman he shouldnt talk much. How we so
quickly forget...smh...
I cant thank God enough for him. Through
my trial with him, I was reconnected back to God, I found my purpose in
Life, and my ministry was birthed.(That is another story for another
Day). I encourage you today in your own trial to fight on. No short cut.
God has not disappeared, take your eyes
off your problem (if you can) Seek Him and He will do the needful plus
much more m still praying... During my prayers today
I PRAYED FOR HIM TO LIVE AND SHOW FORTH THE GLORY OF GOD
