I was feeling Labour pains and listening to this song. suddenly I felt the power of God. I went into Labour and in less than 30 minutes , my daughter was born

So my son is Matimba _ God's power

therefore my daughter's name became

Nkateko

Bless the Lord oh my soul

Manana was Khanyisa Matimba Nkateko

I was a muslim 2 months ago. Never believed in Jesus or God. Lately my marriage is going through crisis, because I wrote with other women and my wife found out. She wanted a divorce. We have 2 beautiful kids and a beautiful home. Life was crashing down on me and I didn't want to lose my family so I started praying to our heavenly father for a sign. My wife didn't even hug me for almost 3 years. Couple days later after praying she came to me and just hugged me. Out of the blue. So I am now baptized and find the light of our lord jesus christ. I'm still fighting everyday to get my wife back and I am praying every day for forgiveness. I'm glad that I found our savior jesus christ.❤❤

@mercythesoloist
