A different kind of lockdown (31-03-2020 to 09-05-2020). By Ezinne Kufre-Ekanem

First to God Almighty: It’s been 40 days of God’s unfathomable faithfulness. God showed up big league! God showed up with the angels and hosts of heaven. God showed up in human beings. God showed up in the elements. God was everywhere. God was with us. His presence was real. He guided us and provided ALL that was needed per time be it spiritual, human or material resources. Most of us felt it. Thank you, Lord (on repeat). Amen.

God showed up in the paramedics that came to pick my husband from our home: Arone Emmanuel and Oseni Musedeeq, thank you. You went over and above the call of duty. God showed up in the receiving doctors & nurses who knew exactly what to do! God showed up in the first responders to my distress call. Each one knew what to do and did it excellently.

Misan and Richard, thank you for arranging ambulances and all the extras.

Richard handled registration & admin work while I sat with Kufre in the ambulance.

Chaii… Did God show up?

He showed up big league in the ward when we got there. In the nurses, the doctors, the care givers. (Story for another day)

My pastor, Kayode Odutola, remained in the gap with the praying team and sent a Daystar member who is a doctor to us in the hospital as well.

My God, it was all like a film. God came.

My family formed a WhatsApp group and were on the watch. Time zones collapsed. Chaii! Blood is thicker than water! My mother-in-law and the entire Jesus Never Fails church went before the throne to plead the mercy of God.
