transplant department of Loma Linda University Medical Center then, who was personally in charge of my case and the medical community had decided to try every other option available without carrying out the surgery. As each of these options failed, the only option left was to carry out the surgery for either it kept me alive or kill me.
You Will Need Intercession
My wife and I and our extended families were always on our knees in intercession. Friends and Church members prayed fervently. My case was an unfamiliar one. I had pancreatic stones with more than thirty stones lodged in my pancreas. It was only during the surgery that the medical team discovered that the computed tomography (CT) scans which was being used to study my body has inefficiently conveyed the extent of damages and the nature of things inside my system. First, the spleen had been badly damaged, an internal pus formed, and the gall bladder affected plus thrombosis and other complicated issues. In the battle to save my life during the surgery, both the spleen and gall bladder were removed completely from my system. After my prolonged stay in the hospital, the enemy came from another direction the day we made it back to my home where I opted to convalesce. But the power of God through intercessory prayers prevailed. Those who want to live their best life now must learn to pray. Prayer works!
Determination Is Key
If you are thinking of success in life, determination and prayer is your beginning point, for it is a key you will always need to duplicate and have spares throughout your life journey. As I was being carried out of the car when I got home, discharged from the hospital after spending two months, which left me unable to walk on my own, just at the door of our house, my wife received a phone call from the hospital where she had her second job as a registered nurse and you can guess what the three words that followed the message were: You Are Fired! It sounded thunderous or like a bullet to her ears. Fired? She replied. And the caller answered affirmatively and went on to narrate how she had failed to show up to work, on the exact date that I had undergone the surgery of which she had communicated her nursing supervisor that she was not going to be available for work that particular day because I was going under the knife. What a lateral violence? As we received that call that afternoon, right there, we knew that we have got to depend on what no man, no system, or any employer can give us—the audacity of God’s grace to help us think successfully and reach our dream. We were more determined to succeed than ever before. We decided to go south—the opposite direction of what we had been taught about how to succeed under the definitions of American dream. For the next several days and months, my wife and I was on a battle on how to survive life and meet our financial obligations—and these are two highly educated people with great degrees!
Activate Your Faith & Learn to Release
From this time onwards, we knew it was about time to activate our faith and release them in the hands of the master provider and sustainer—the powerful God, who graciously loves. We had every legitimate reason to sue the hospital for this injustice. Every friend, family, or people that heard how my wife was fired from her job asked us to proceed on a lawsuit. In this type of case, there are lawyers who were willing to give the hospital a fight over this case without taking a dime from us. But we knew there was more to this, for: “The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish [every] strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4 NIV). It was in the middle of these crises that my entrepreneurial journey will begin proper in the United States with the launching of our first major business. My wife will resign from her full time job few months later as a registered nurse. This is why you don’t need to panic with people
