"I have inherited Your testimonies forever, for they are the joy of my heart." - Psalms 119:111
James 5:14 “Is any sick among you? 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.”
Mark 6:13 “And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.”
Before I left my country, Malawi, the doctors diagnosed me with a collapsed middle lobe of my right lung. This was a result of an infection but the doctors failed to explain how I got the infection. The symptoms included severe chest pains which made it difficult for me to breath. Furthermore, I experienced uncontrollable coughing with secretions. I had to complete a 2 weeks course of antibiotics before the symptoms disappeared. However, the doctors were not certain I would heal completely and warned me to expect other episodes of symptoms and a risk of the infection spreading to the remaining two lobes of my right lung.
After a few months in the UK, I started to experience uncontrollable coughing with secretions again. I was scared because of the previous doctors’ warnings. But I remembered God’s healing promises as demonstrated among the apostles in the verses described above. Furthermore, I remembered what the angel of God told Abraham, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” (Genesis 18:14). Therefore, I went on the prayer line, with faith that I will be healed , and Pastor Charura anointed my head with oil and prayed over me. Following the prayer, I have not experienced severe chest pains and uncontrollable coughing with secretions. Therefore, God has been faithful and kept his healing promises upon my life; because where the doctors said the condition would recur, God has completely removed the illness!

I was suffering from a kidney infection for a long time. Sometimes I failed to do my house work because of the pain. One day I went into the prayer line when the Pastor was praying for the sick and I was healed. I went to my General practitioner for a check up and some blood tests, praise God there is no trace of the illness. I am giving this testimony for the glory of God. Jesus is alive to them that believe.
It took me and my wife sometime to fully settle and fellowship with Bible believers’ Fellowship in Leeds when a brother gave us the contact of Bro Alois from Bro Jim Nyamekye. By the grace of God we had a better accommodation just walking distance from church. I and my wife were married in December 2004 and it has been our desire, plan and prayer to have children just after marriage. From the mid of 2006 we became desperate and more concern as there was no sign of us having a baby. We have started talking to the physicians.
Pastor and his wife called on me one afternoon for a visit in spring 2007. The atmosphere was so good that when the pastors asked of my prayer request, I told him my earnest desire was the Lord blessing us with children. We knelt down and prayed. I really believed the presence of the Lord was present in that visit and our prayers were heard.
Glory be to our LORD we had our first baby in March 2008 and the second came in July 2009.
I am very grateful to the Lord and the way He ordered events and used pastor Alois to bless me and my family.
When we repented, we had a lingering problem of having no children. God remains the same yesterday, today and forever. First, I used to see a man coming to me with false claims and it was fearful. This would happen even during the day when my husband would be away at work. This troubled me for sometime until the day when the Pastor visited our family. During the fellowship we mentioned these problems to the pastor. The pastor asked us to repent of anything that we could have left when we were baptised. However we mentioned some things that we thought could hinder our blessings. The Pastor prayed for us in the name of Jesus Christ and I was healed. The man and presence I used to experience ended right there. Now we have children and we are a happy family in the Lord. May God bless you as you read this testimony; Glory to God.
I was experiencing breathing problems for some months and I could not understand the cause to the breathing problems. At times I just felt weak and when I went to the G.P. surgery, the general practitioners sent me for tests including x-rays. They could not diagnose the cause to the problem because all tests that I underwent were negative.
On 26th May 2015 the GP (General Practitioner) did some checks again as I continued to experience breathing problems. Upon conducting the physiological examination and observations she discovered that my oxygen saturation levels were too low. Immediately she called for an ambulance to take me to the Accident and Emergency (A & E) unit and within 20 minutes of arrival I died. The consultant, team of nurses and doctors who attended to me on admission tried their best to resuscitate. They called my wife and told her that they were sorry because there was nothing more they could do because I had suffered heart failure.
Working on inspiration
In this situation my wife got some inspiration and she remembered what the bible states and how Moses told Aaron that he would serve the Lord with his sons in the tabernacle (Leviticus Chapters 8 & 9). So she drove home some 20 minutes drive one way while my body was lying in hospital. She intended to get Brother Branham’s prayer cloth which we had received from the Voice of God Team when they visited England but could not locate it. She then opened my briefcase and found the anointing oil which I use when praying for the sick (James 5; 14). She drove back to hospital where she asked the Doctors for permission for one of my sons, Talent, to anoint me with oil and pray over me for the healing of my body. She stated to him that although he is not a deacon or minister in the church his position is that of a Levite’s son as were the sons of Aaron. She stated that he had duties in the tabernacle and encouraged him to take the anointing oil and pray for me.
Courage
God granted my son courage while I was in my dead condition, and without fear anointed me with oil and prayed for me. After about 5 minutes, I was told that while the doctors were observing me they stated “he is responding” because they noticed the movement on my eyebrows. God raised me up from the dead. Although my failed heart started to function I was still unable to breathe independently because my lungs had also collapsed. Consequently the medical staff put me on a ventilator (life support machine) and later I had a tracheotomy inserted.
I am also thankful that the church, friends and other believers all over the country and abroad who were notified that I was in hospital were praying for me and God answered their prayer. Thank you saints and friends for your love and prayers, God bless you.
Theophany Body
During that time I was in a different realm and God showed me my theophany body and the other body followed by a voice which said to the theophany, “Pray for the pastor who is in an intensive care unit, he is a ministering brother”. This appeared twice and I tried to think of any pastor I knew that would be in the intensive care unit at that time but I knew none. Something then stated to me that it’s me. Then I knew I was in the hands of God (2 Corinthians Chapter 5 verse 1). I believe that Heaven is a dimension, and am thankful that God made me see “the other side”.
An Angel appeared
While I was under sedation and each time the medicine dose got reduced I was told that I would wake up violently therefore the hospital staff told my family that they did not know what more to do in order to save my life. My wife became very desperate and she went to the car park to pray in the car asking for the intervention of God. Surprisingly enough I was hearing all she was saying in her prayer while in the intensive care unit with all tubes on me. I was in a different realm. In the evening God sent a man to me who I later realised was an Angel sent from God. The Angel greeting me with the salutation “Hello Pastor Alois, I’ve had about you” I responded in dialogue. Then he said “you will be alright, I am a doctor here and am also a pastor. I minister at a small village somewhere. I want you to listen to what doctors and nurses are telling you and you will be alright”. I answered and responded “ok brother when I recover I will make contact with you when I am discharged so that we can get to know each other and preach in each others congregations. He said, “Ok and He left”. Immediately my attitude changed and I felt much better and my behaviour in responding to the medical staff improved. All the nursing staff and doctors were surprised with the changes that happened on me. I am thankful for their patience and persevering with me.
God intervened according to the prayer that my wife had requested. I believe that God knows us by name and he knows who we are. The bible states that Angels are ministering spirits see Hebrews Chapter
A pillar of fire appears
Later while I lay on the bed and still on the ventilator I started to sing the song “The great physician is here”. Due to the ventilator tubes my voice was not audible however I could move my lips. So for a long time I moved my lips silently whilst I was singing the song and it was impressed upon my heart. I looked at the right corner of the ceiling and I saw a pillar of fire bright and clear, I heard a voice which said the pillar of fire is here. Immediately after I heard the voice, my condition improved and I knew that I was completely healed. Everything changed and I was consequently transferred to a different high dependency unit where I spent three days before I was discharged out of hospital.
My voice was restored whilst I still had the tracheostomy tubes fitted in. I was not examined by a speech therapist as had been suggested by some of the medical consultants. A letter that my son held indicated that I would spend more than a month in the intensive care unit but God granted me speedy healing to be discharged and leave the hospital earlier than anticipated. This testimony is given to the glory of God, encouragement to all those that believe and to encourage others to receiving salvation.
Friends I urge you to keep believing to the end. As much as there are evil spirits there is also the true Holy Spirit. I have been to “the other side” and God raised me for a purpose which needs to be fulfilled and when my earthly life is over I believe that there is a crown waiting for me and for all true believers, and over comers in this Laodicea age. God bless you.
