Mrs. Ifeoma Maria Dorothy Okonkwo, has related how she endured 15 years of five stillbirths before giving birth to a boy.
Mrs. Okonkwo, a native of Nimo, Njikoka Local Government Area, Anambra State, married Tony Okonkwo, a resident of nearby Abagana, 20 years ago. Five years later, the couple welcomed their first child, a girl.
They wanted a boy to be their child after two more females showed up. As desired, she began to have male children; however, at 24 weeks of pregnancy, “a strange bird will come to our window at 12 midnight, the membrane will rupture and I will have a stillbirth,” she experienced each time. I lost all five of my male babies since it happened five times,” Mrs. Okonkwo said to the congregation last Sunday at Zion Prayer Ministry in Lagos..
She said she gave up after the fifth miscarriage and told her husband she didn’t want to continue, “but my husband who was an only son wanted a son badly. I even suggested that he should take a second wife to give him a male child”.
At a time she said she suspected her husband, an ardent Zionite, of infidelity because of his undisclosed movements. She also thought he had had a male child outside because she noticed he was always going out with clothes of a baby boy, not knowing he was consistently going to Zion ground with the clothes of a baby boy to pray with faith for a son.
In 2023, they joined the Zion Prayer Ministry’s 100 days fasting and prayer. Mrs Okonkwo became pregnant again shortly after. When she realized she was pregnant, she said she decided to drink only Seraphic water, produced by Zion ministries, through the period of her pregnancy.
However, it was a troubled 9 months of pregnancy. She experienced near abortions, with doctors recommending emergency surgery to save her and her baby.
Finally, Evangelist Ebuka located her in Open Heavens and prayed for her and she put to bed normally despite the insistence of doctors on cesarean section. She came to Zion with her baby boy and her husband to share her testimony.
