Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1
The Prayer Warriors Episode One
“Mr Tony, your wife cannot give birth by herself. We need to carry out a caesarian section on her immediately. If we delay, she might die and the baby will also not survive. At this point, the only available option is for us to operate on her and bring out the child. Your wife has being in labour for the past 24 hours and she has not given birth. Please, sign this document and give us the go ahead and do the operation.” Dr Raph said to Tony who was standing outside the hospital praying in tongues.
He has been fasting and praying since his wife was brought to the hospital to deliver their first child. Tony was not the only one praying outside the hospital. The prayer warriors from his church were all there. His pastor was also there leading the prayer. They were all "kabashing" and speaking in tongues.
“Doctor, my pastor told me that my wife shall not deliver through caesarian section. Please, nobody should operate on my wife yet. I’m a child of God. There is no way God will look at me and allow my wife to deliver her baby through caesarian section. She will deliver the baby through the normal way. You can see my pastor and the entire prayer warriors from my church, they are here praying with me. God will hear our prayers and my wife will deliver the baby through the normal way.” Tony said as he continued praying.
“Mr Tony, please, this is not about prayers or your pastor. We are talking about the life of your wife. She is currently in danger. She can no longer push out the baby herself. She is very weak and she will die if we don’t do CS on her immediately. This is a medical issue which has nothing to do with prayers. Please, sign this document so that we can go ahead. You are the only one here who can give us the go ahead to operate on her because you are her husband.” Dr Raph said with seriousness on his face.
“I just told you not to touch my wife. God will answer my prayers and she will deliver her baby through the normal means. I made a covenant with God that my wife will not deliver her baby through CS. God told me that my wife will deliver her baby normally. God told me that CS is not her portion. So, please, go and sit down in your office. This is a spiritual battle, not a medical issue.” Tony said.
“It is not a bad thing to deliver through CS. Caesarian section is also normal. It is not a bad thing. Please, permit us to do this before your wife will die.” Dr Raph said but Tony paid him no attention. Instead, he went to meet his pastor.
“Pastor, the doctor said he wants to do caesarian section on my wife. Should he go ahead?” Tony asked his pastor.
“No way. We are here praying for God to intervene and the doctor is busy talking about CS. The doctor does not have spiritual eyes, so he cannot see what God is about to do. Tell the doctor to go back to his office and relax. Your wife will not die. I’m here with my prayer warriors. The Lord will show himself in a mighty way and even the doctor will be surprised.” The pastor tells Tony. He went back to the doctor.
“My pastor did not give me the permission for us to do CS. The pastor assured me that my wife will deliver normally. Please, no one should touch my wife. She will deliver by the grace of God.” Tony said. The doctor was shocked.
“Are you taking permission from your pastor before saving your wife’s life? Your pastor and the prayer warriors have nothing to do with this. Please, sign the document or your wife and baby will die. The baby will die in her womb. She is not able to push again. Time is running out.” The doctor said.
“Doctor, please, don’t touch my wife. I said no CS. Our prayer warriors will do the job. I’m a child of God and CS is not for the children of God.” Tony said. The doctor went back to the labour room where Hannah was lying lifelessly. She cannot talk anymore. She was in coma.
“This woman is about to die. What will I do? I need someone to sign the document to give me the permission to operate. This woman will die. The baby will die. Who will sign for her? She can’t even talk” The doctor said. He was even crying.
Hannah could hear the doctor, but she could not talk back.
“God, please help me. How I wish I can talk. How I wish I can move my hands and sign the document. Is this how I will die?” Hannah asked herself. She felt like she was trapped in a box. She was screaming but the doctor could not hear her. It was like she was in the spirit.
“I’m dying and my husband is praying. How can I tell the doctor to ignore my husband and do the CS?” Hanna asked herself.
