Life, in its unpredictable journey, often throws us into tough times. The tough times can be overwhelming, but these times offer an opportunity to build your
faith; faith that brings you closer to Jesus Christ. We bring you a story of Charles from a small town called Masajja, in Uganda. The energetic, youthful and hardworking individual, dedicated to his job and his family, developed a seemingly harmless small pimple on his leg while at work, trying to make ends meet.
It could easily be mistaken for an insect bite or minor irritation. However, as days passed, he kept scratching it, and the pimple began to grow rapidly, causing him discomfort and pain. The pimple worsened into more wounds that oozed blood. As the condition of his leg deteriorated, the pain became unbearable. At that point,
he knew he had to seek medical help. He was rushed to Mulago National Hospital, where he underwent a series of tests and consultations. The doctors recommended that the vessels in that leg area be operated on, in the theatre. Faced with the bad reality of his situation, Charles underwent surgery in a desperate attempt to save his life.
After this, he was given bed rest. However, he had also developed complications in his urinary tract. The following day, while in the hospital, he felt he needed to pass out urine, but he still couldn’t, after two attempts. He then requested his caretaker to call the nurse and the reported this problem. He was taken to the causality theatre and given a catheter to help him pass out urine. Charles was then discharged from the hospital the following day. With nothing left to lose, Charles made his way in faith to the Peace Center of Holy City Entebbe, the arena of signs, wonders and miracles with hope in his heart, seeking solace and divine intervention.
In the Peace Center, he met Bro Ronnie Makabai, a man known for his unwavering faith and powerful prayers. “What happened to you?” Bro Ronnie Makabai asked, filled with concern and compassion. Charles poured out his heart, sharing his story and how the situation all began.
After listening compassionately, Bro Ronnie Makabai made a prayer in faith; “Lord, you who formed him in his mother’s womb with perfect vessels, release him
from the powers of death.” In the midst of prayer, Brother Ronnie Makabai received a prophetic message from the Holy Spirit concerning the spirit of death that had been tormenting Charles, which entered his body when he was walking through a graveyard. Charles confirmed the prophecy to be true, with faith and confidence. Bro Ronnie Makabai revealed that this was the root cause of Charles’ situation. “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His
servants the prophets.” (Amos 3:7) “Let your vessels be of good health in the name of Jesus Christ.” Bro Ronnie Makabai further prayed, stretching his hand in faith, invoking the healing power of God. Meanwhile, the congregation that had gathered that day for the Sunday Thanksgiving service at Holy City Entebbe joined in prayer, with faith.
With authority and conviction, Bro Ronnie Makabai declared victory over the forces of darkness, proclaiming Charles’ healing and restoration. In that moment, a sense of peace moved over Charles, dispelling the pain that had engulfed him. Filled with renewed strength, Charles left the Peace Center that day, with his heart overflowing with gratitude. In the days that followed, he witnessed a miraculous transformation in his body. The wounds on his leg healed, and the pain subsided.
His body became stronger with each passing day. He returned to the hospital for review and the results showed that he is well and in good health.
He returned to Holy City the next service day rejoicing and leaping with joy over the love and mercy of Jesus the Christ, of Bro Ronnie Makabai. He shared his
story and testimony of thanksgiving; very energized and relieved of pain and infirmity. “I never went back for any operation, and the catheter was removed. I went back to work and can do everything very well. I thank Jesus Christ for healing me and thank I Him for the Man of God who prays for us…” Charles narrates with so much joy.
I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. (Psalms 9:1) Today, Charles stands as a living testimony to the power of faith and prayer. He has returned to work, stronger and more resilient than ever before. With each step he takes, he carries within him the undeniable truth that God’s love conquers all, even the shadow of death. This testimony echoes as a source of hope for those seeking God’s healing touch.
