“Jesus is a healer, and I am speaking the absolute truth,” Alfred Muwonge affirms with his eyes reflecting both past pain and present triumph. His story is one of incredible hardship and miraculous recovery from the brink of death.
I got a problem with my head which warranted an operation that left me in severe agony, and I slipped into a coma for eight days. During this time, I was told the doctors took me off oxygen support six times, each time expecting the worst.
But miraculously, I emerged from the coma. How did this happen? My son, knowing where my holy water and anointing oil were kept, anointed me, and through his faith, I was healed.
“Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.” James 5:14
On what felt like my deathbed, a fervent prayer to the Creator of heaven and earth to redeem me from this sickness restored my health.
“We do not refute what the doctors do, for it is God who gives them the wisdom to treat us. Doctors treat, but healing comes from God.”
Bro Ronnie Makabai
THE STROKE AND MY SECOND MIRACLE
Not long after, I suffered a stroke precipitated by the loss of one of my sons. My arms and legs were paralyzed. Horrified, my family thought that they were going to burry two people that day.
I was then rushed to the hospital. A CT scan was performed, but it was inconclusive. Despite my condition, my son who had been taking care of me from the start continued to use the holy water and anointing oil, praying constantly.
When I stabilized, the doctors decided to discharge me, putting me on maintenance drugs but warning that the stroke could reoccur at any time.
Receiving this news was devastating. I felt my life was in imminent danger. Desperate, I rushed to the Peace Center of Holy City Entebbe for prayers. Man of God Bro. Ronnie Makabai prayed for me, and in that moment, I felt a profound peace. I decided not to take the prescribed medication, trusting in my faith.
Tell you what! My faith has been fulfilled; I have never experienced another stroke. Jesus healed me. Up to date, I am alive and well. I can not thank my God enough, even at my lowest point He was there reminding me of His everlasting love.
I am eternally grateful to Jesus Christ and to Bro. Ronnie Makabai for his tireless prayers and unwavering support. My life has been transformed, and I have been given a second chance at life. Where once I needed a blood pressure machine, a blood sugar monitor, and a bag full of medications, now I am free from all of it. My life has indeed been transformed.
“I no longer need to carry those devices. I am free, healed, and deeply grateful.”
As believers, it’s vital to understand that God can work through anyone, including doctors and medical professionals. It’s not a matter of choosing between faith and medicine but rather, trusting that God will guide the hands and minds of those who care for us.
His journey from the brink of death to a life filled with health and gratitude is a testament that Jesus Christ is truly alive and at work. For anyone struggling and losing hope, this story serves as a beacon of light, proving that with faith and perseverance, miraculous recoveries do happen.
“Thus, also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” James 2:17
