THE STORY OF MARYAM
Episode 2.
.."Sorry to say this;You are going to die''.The Doctor told me.....
I went home and told my Father and my brothers about my condition,then I prepared myself for death.My family did all they could to keep me cheerful.I appreciated their efforts and tried to appear cheerful,but in my mind,I was sad,lost and devastated.
....You don't just go to the hospital and hear the doctor telling you that you have leukemia and that you are going to die; and you say"Oww!that is nice, thank you,is there any prescription for death?"....Hey! I didn't want to die,No one wants to die.
While I was thinking about how vain life is,I remembered what Betty told me while we were leaving the NYSC camp,she had said"Maryam dear,I hope that my God will prove Himself to you one day,through His son,Jesus Christ".
I quickly brought out my old diary;where I stored her number and dialled her number. She picked at the second ring and in her usual cheerfulness,greeted me.
I quickly told her about my condition and asked if she could pray to her God for me.
She agreed and asked me to only believe and that everything will be okay.She prayed saying"Oh Yahweh,I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ your son,behold is your daughter Maryam,I ask you to please ,heal her and show yourself strong,that she may believe in you and your son, Jesus Christ".
That was all,no casting and binding like most Christians I knew used to pray,no display of power,no use of handkerchief or shouting. She just prayed as if she was talking to someone close..Older but very close.
I cried after she finished praying.I felt this wave of love flow through me and I felt finally at peace within me.Something was happening to me and I could tell that it was the God of Betty at work.
I went to the hospital again and this time,the doctor conducted test on me five times,not believing the report each time. When he finally came to me,he said"Maryam dear,this must be a miracle! You are perfectly fine.The leukemia is gone".
I couldn't believe my ears.I called Betty and told her the good news,but she calmly replied "I know.My God is a God of impossibility made possible".
" Betty"I literally screamed into the phone''I believe in Yahweh,I believe in Jesus Christ as God's son..please show me the way".
I could tell that she was happy to hear that.She quickly led me through my prayer of salvation. That day was the best and most meaningful day of my entire life.I was at peace within myself and with everyone.when I got home,I recounted what happened at the hospital to my family, my father asked me"Maryam dear,to which Imam or prophet did you pray to?".
"It was to no Imam or prophet, Papa" I said"It was Yahweh,through His son,Jesus Christ".
Immediately I said those words,I knew I was free and changed.Jesus is truly the way to God and He is salvation.
Today,my family and I are devoted Christians and we love evangelizing.We want people to be saved too...this is my story.
