Saving Josephina's Husband

Saving Josephina's Husband

The doctor looked at him right in the 
eyes and said "I am sorry sir, you have 
between 6 to 9 months left to live, 
the cancer has spread all over your 
system! 
The oncologist that referred you to me 
knew I would do everything I can to help 
but I also know when to tell my patients
the truth 
It would be wicked of me to subject you 
to one treatment or the other in the name 
of "finding a cure" when i know there is 
 known cure for this I will advise you to 
go home and spend time with your children 
and family members. 
Make peace with those with whom you had
a grudge and live out the rest of your days 
in peace. 
Many don't get to hear this news because 
their end came suddenly but you are 
fortunate to know the time frame so that 
you can tidy things up" 
He watched the doctor's lips moving 
He had nothing to tidy up 
He was fifty-two years old 
His wife was 44 years old 
They had two children 
The girl was 15 while the boy was 12 
They were all living in the UK 
He was working with one of the Insurance 
firms, his wife was a nurse 
They had their teething problems in the 
marriage, especially due to family 
interference in
their marriage before they relocated to 
the UK 
He had always been strong and healthy 
His father died at the age of old age 87 
His mother was still living and very 
active at the age of 82 
There was no history of cancer or such 
in his family 
He didn't indulge in any risky habit 
that could expose him to the disease 
It was a strange attack 
He woke up one morning, dressed for 
work and blacked out just as he was 
about to walk out of their flat 
He was rushed to the emergency 
The procedure demanded that a scan 
was done to be sure he didn't have any 
internal injuries especially because he 
hit his head on the floor when he slumped 
The scan didn't show any injuries but 
it showed other things 
The hospital decided to investigate further 
An oncologist was invited to check his test 
results 
Suddenly he was told he had cancer 
It was terrible
A knockout punch 
They told him he had to start treatment 
immediately 
The oncologist told them further tests 
had to be done to know the extent of 
the spread of the cancer But it was 
somewhere in his brain and it was 
responsible for the blackout 
The oncologist wondered how he was 
able to function for that long without 
showing any symptoms he spent the 
whole day in the hospital 
The next morning he was referred to a 
specialist and the specialist conducted 
another day of tests 
At the end of it all, he was told to go 
home and die 
Just like that
His wife was right beside him as he got 
the news 
The news hit her badly 
He saw as life practically drained from 
her face 
She was very fair in complexion, it made 
her very easy for him to read emotionally 
when they were younger 
He remembered the day she came to the 
church where he worshipped for the first 
time 
The church was a youth church and he was 
the youth president (Not pastor) 
He was assigned the duty of following up 
first-timers her house was one of the houses 
he was asked to visit 
He was accompanied by the vice-president 
of the youth church (a lady who had a very 
obvious crush on him) 
As soon as they walked into the compound 
of the house where his wife lived, she saw 
them 
She was by the well, fetching water 
She was wearing a black spaghetti top 
and short knickers 
She was flushed with embarrassment 
He saw her face turn red and then she 
took off 
She ran into their flat and locked the door 
behind her 
The lady with him started laughing it was 
the strangest reaction they had ever gotten 
from a first-timer 
The lady said "She likes you, that's why she 
ran off like that. 
She couldn't handle the emotion
she was feeling around you. 
She was probably daydreaming about you 
when we showed up and assumed you 
could read her mind" 
Wow! 
They didn't bother knocking on the door 
They went to another first-timer's house 
and let her be 
The following Sunday she arrived in church 
very early and came to apologize to him 
personally for her conduct 
She said she reacted the way she did 
because she was a dreamer and she 
had dreamt of that particular event 
several months before 
She was just scared what she saw in 
her dream was happening exactly as 
she saw it 
At that time 
he was just glad she came back for 
service 
They became friends 
Four years later they got married 
As they sat in the doctor's office that 
day getting the news, he could read 
her mood to determine the odds 
against him 
He had no chance 
The doctor said so His wife's reaction 
echoed it
His wife was in tears as soon as they 
got home "I warned you, I warned you, i 
told you I saw you in a casket! 
I told you I saw in my dream that you 
were dead, I told you we had to do 
something about it 
My dreams always come to pass 
I saw you in my dream several months 
before we met 
My mother was a dreamer too 
This was how she dreamt of my Father's 
death several years ago 
My father behaved like you 
He was nonchalant and it killed him 
Why didn't you try harder, fight for your 
life?" 
He looked at her, what else was he 
supposed to do? 
They had fasted for 40 days and 40 nights 
together 
Binding and loosing in the name of Jesus 
They had finished that and started a 
series of vigils One week on, one week off 
Reclaiming their destiny from Dream killers 
and Dream Hijackers 
They bought books on how to deal with 
forces that attack one in the dream 
When the General Overseer of their church 
went to the UK, they went to the programme 
he organized and even ensured that they 
saw him 
At a point, they had to take God by his word 
They had to move on in faith 
They had to hold on to the word of God and 
believe it is settled
His wife cried all night For her, the death 
sentence was a heavy blow 
How come she had always been powerless 
to change her own dream 
If she saw anything, no matter how many 
prayers were said about it, it will come to pass 
She had been passed over several times for 
promotion at
her office She always saw it before it happened 
and no matter how much she prayed nothing 
would change 
She had come to accept her dream as 
A MUST HAPPEN event, a glimpse at an 
unchangeable slice of the future that cannot 
be altered, until she had the dream about her 
husband's death
The dream was so real that when she woke up 
she touched the side of the bed where he slept 
to be sure he was still there 
She saw the burial ceremony 
The pallbearers and the family members 
She saw the vault 
She saw herself and her children 
The children were dressed in white while
she was dressed in grey 
She saw the obituary publications 
The posters on the walls and the newspaper 
announcement 
She saw everything 
When she told him, he didn't argue 
He believed her because she had a track 
record that cannot be argued 
And yes, they prayed hard and fought hard
He did everything she asked for and more 
And yet within a year, the dream was coming 
to pass What was the value of a gift that 
puts one at a disadvantage? 
The dreamers in the Bible, Joseph, Daniel, 
and Joseph the Father of Jesus were 
able to use their dreams to their advantage...
She wondered why she couldn't do that
He took the verdict as pragmatically as
any man would
They had saved up some money for
vacation
He told his wife he would like them to
visit Nigeria so that he can make peace
with people and die at home
They travelled to Nigeria in March 2019
The plan was to stay for a few months
He was already in the fifth month of
the six to nine months verdict
He was growing weaker by the day
and had two professional nurses 
employed to wait on him
His relatives and friends came to
visit and he made peace with everybody
He had already built two houses in
Nigeria
One in Magodo Estate, Lagos and the
other in his home town
He gave the One in Lagos to his church
Asked them to convert it to a Parish
and he also gave the one in his hometown
to his relatives
He and his wife had secured the children's
education fund in a trust and his wife
would be coming into some money after
his death
He had a life insurance policy and he
she would also be paid his dues at his
office
They had processed all the paperwork
in that regard
The clock was ticking 
All they were waiting for was the last 
breath
Then one of his cousins came visiting
with the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
The brother in jeans and T-shirt and 
the cousin had been discussing spiritual
realities and the Brother in Jeans and
T-shirt had insisted dreams are lies!
He had said categorically that GOD
does not speak to the Holy Spirit
through DREAMS
He said if a believer is full of the Holy
Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is the spirit
of God, it makes no sense for God to
be talking to His children in dreams
when he can speak to them directly!
Dreams were too unreliable and are
prone to too much error
God does not confuse his children
Then the cousin mentioned their
case and the Brother in Jeans and
T-shirt insisted he must see the
family with his own eyes and hear
from them
He was warm and in good spirits
he welcomed the brother in jeans
and T-shirt with a joke about Arsenal
and Chelsea
Then he narrated his story
His wife was seating right beside him
When he was done, the Brother in
Jeans and T-shirt told him to stand
up
His wife and two nurses helped him
stand
The Brother in jeans and T-shirt said
"Are you a born again Christian?"
He said "Yes"
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt said
"Say after me, I belong to Jesus and
I am full of the Holy Spirit.
I will not be afflicted by lies, I purge
myself of all forms of spiritual realities
that negate the outworking of the gospel
in my life!
I embrace the Holy Spirit and His reality
in Christ Jesus
Therefore, i speak to my body
Hear the word of the Lord, you are
set free of the power of lies and wrong
beliefs
You are full of life and light
Because Jesus lives, I live!"
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt laid
his hands on him and started praying
in the spirit
Suddenly, there was a reaction
The weak brother started flailing and
screaming
He pushed his wife and two nurses
as he retreated from the Brother in
Jeans and T-shirt
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
started laughing
The Cousin, watching from afar 
initially started praying when he 
saw the reaction
He said "I am not going anywhere,
Do you know who i am, leave me
alone! Just let me be!"
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
didn't respond he laid his hands on 
the man's head and said "In Jesus 
name, let him go"
The man jerked and shrieked
Then he collapsed on his knees!
The Brother in jeans and T-shirt went
to sit down
The nurses tried to lift the man
up
It took his about five minutes to
recover
He said he was hungry and he
started speaking in tongues and
rolling on the floor
He couldn't stop
Tears were streaming down his face
After about twenty minutes
He stood to his feet, walked up to
the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
and said "I can see you clearly brother,
my eyes were no longer blurry, 
the ache in my head is gone, 
I feel light and heat all over my body.
Who are you, sir?
Thank you!

Ps: He didn't die! He returned to the UK
in September 2019 with his family
He was totally cleared of Cancer
His wife also got filled with the Holy
Spirit
She stopped believing in lies
She stopped believing in dreams
The Brother in jeans and T-shirt taught
them that the reality of a believer
is based on the Word of God and
the leading of the Holy Spirit
That was what Jesus gave the 
church
The great commission and the
Holy Spirit
He didn't tell the church to disciple
the world by teaching them about
Joseph, Moses, Pharaoh and
Nebuchadnezzar
Matthew 28:16-20
The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went to 
Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus 
had told them to go. 
17 When they saw him, they worshiped 
him; but some doubted. 
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, 
“All authority in heaven and on earth 
has been given to me. 
19 Therefore go and make disciples of 
all nations, baptizing them in the 
name of the Father and of the Son 
and of the Holy Spirit, 
20 and teaching them to obey everything 
I have commanded you. 
And surely I am with you always, to 
the very end of the age.”

A christian must obey EVERYTHING
JESUS COMMANDS HIS CHURCH TO
OBEY!
Going outside the COMMANDS of Jesus
to teach people the doctrines of the
pharisees and saducees and Judaism
shows Many pastors do not know how
to rightly DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH
OR HOW TO BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!

GSW's notes: I was teaching PSSBC's
year 5 students on dreams
Those guys want my head
Like all the other sets before them
They couldn't let go of what they felt
was part of their spiritual realities
because of wrong teachings and
traditional teachings!
I had to write to my Brother and Sister
in the UK for permission to share their
story
They joyfully gave me the go-ahead
I hope it helped
It was my Trump card to help my students
through this class!
What you believe affects your reality
it is simple
If Jesus or the Apostles didn't say it
or do it or write about it
It is not for you
That something is in the Bible does
not mean we should make a doctrine of it.
Jesus is the one who decides what
His church must practise!
ONLY JESUS through the HOLY SPIRIT
JESUS is the Head of the church
