Miss Edith Agyekumwaah Adusei, a student of the Pentecost University and member of the Newsite District in the Takoradi Area of The Church of Pentecost, received instant healing after enduring paralysis for two years.
The miraculous incident occurred on Friday, January 20, 2023, during an all-night service organised by the Newsite District Minister, Pastor Victor Asante Darko, to climax the district’s 21-day Fasting and Prayer exercise.
Narrating her ordeal to PENTECOST NEWS, Miss Edith said she began experiencing chills and weakness in her legs in the evening of Sunday, June 13, 2021, which coincided with the climax of the National Youth Week celebration and thanksgiving service.
According to her, when she woke up in the morning, she realised that both legs had swollen. She, therefore, visited the hospital for treatment and was told that she was suffering from hypotension (Low blood pressure).
“I experienced severe pains, which made me unable to walk properly. I became bedridden and developed bed sores as a result. In addition, I lost my appetite and developed sores in my mouth. My condition felt like a mild stroke where I could not handle things myself unless assisted,” she said.
She further revealed that the intensity of the pain led her to undergo further medical tests, CT scans, X-rays, hospital admissions, and apply various medications but to no avail.
“I lost hope; I always felt like I would not make it the next day because of the dreams I was having. I believe this was part of the devil’s schemes to instil fear in me; regardless, I kept my faith, trusted and waited on God to divinely heal and deliver me from this sickness,” she narrated.
Edith said as she waited on the Lord for divine intervention, she participated in various prayer programmes organised by the Church, including the “Roar Half-Night Prayers” and “Virtual Prayers with the Chairman” on Pent TV.
“Before the day of my healing, the Takoradi Area Head, Apostle Semenya Yao Dogbe, and Pastor Asante Darko visited me at home in the evening. The prayers and the word of God greatly encouraged me, and I became convinced that God will heal me at the end of the 21-day programme,” she stressed.
Recounting how the spectacular event happened, Edith said that, during the service, she felt severe pains in her legs – more than she had in the past. She, therefore, asked her mother to assist her to the upper gallery of the church auditorium so she could rest.
“Even though I tried sleeping, I could not; I joined the intercessory prayers due to the pains. Suddenly, I heard a loud voice repeatedly asking me to get up – this happened about nine times. I looked around but realised only children were sleeping, including my sister, who was busily praying. At the tenth time, the voice instructed me to check if I could feel the initial pains in my legs. So, I got up and started doing the things I could not do before, only to realise that I had been healed and regained the ability to walk again,” she recounted.
Edith said she immediately ran to the platform to share with the congregation the wondrous miracle that had taken place.
In her speech, Miss Adusei expressed gratitude to God for the divine touch. She also advised members of the Church to take the Lord’s Supper seriously, saying that the emblems (loafer and wine) always relieved her of her pain anytime she participated in the service.
She also thanked the Takoradi Area Head, Newsite District Minister, her family and the congregation for their immense support, encouragement and prayers during the difficult period.
“Every Christian has to be patient, have faith, trust God and avoid consulting other deities because God does things in His time and season,” she stated.
