By May 2011, we had been married four years and had a son of three years old. Towards the end of 2010, we began to believe God for our next child. Between this time and the end of July 2011, my wife suffered four painful miscarriages in quick succession.
After the second miscarriage, we sought medical advice, did some tests and received treatment. In July she lost another pregnancy that was already 11 weeks. This broke our hearts very much! Eventually we were told by two independent consultants that my wife had secondary infertility and would be unable to conceive naturally. We found this a little disturbing, especially as we had our first son by natural conception.
We kept trusting and standing in faith. Our spiritual parents were aware of this and they stood with us in prayer, through thick and thin. On one of those occasions, while Rev. prayed for my wife we heard her say “Satan, you are the thief and you have been caught. Lord, we ask for a double blessing; double for their trouble”. We took those words to heart and stood on it anytime we prayed. On Tuesday 26th July 2011, we precisely asked God to have in a years’ time a set of twins… a boy and a girl. Double for our trouble meant twins to us!
In November of that year, my church had a month of prayer and fasting. At the end of it, hands were laid on my wife again and by the next month, we discovered she was pregnant again!
Even then, it looked like the pregnancy wasn’t going to be. The enemy was committed to threatening miscarriage as signs began to show again during the first six weeks. However this time he was too late because God had gone ahead! We had our set of twins, a boy, and girl on July 18th, 2012, exactly within the time frame we asked the Lord!
