00:00On the 25th of June this year my son was delivered though prematurely seven months
00:07two weeks. He was born unable to breathe properly so he was put on oxygen in the ICU and he also
00:17had jaundice and so we knew that this time we have a son but he's not okay he's not well is
00:25he gonna die? What's going to happen? Grace and peace to you all people of God. My name
00:37is Derek and this is my wife Lise and my son Seth, short for the Seth the Lord God Almighty.
00:48We are based in South Africa but we are all Zimbabweans. We thank God so much for affording
00:55us this opportunity to be able to witness for Christ on such a platform where the power
01:03of God is shown. I just want to say that Jesus Christ paid it all. We wrote to God's Heart TV
01:14because we are having a problem with barrenness and since menstruation. We were barren for a period
01:26of nine years and menstruation ceased for a period of two years and this affected us a lot as
01:36a couple and also in the spaces where we are like in family circles and in the community in general.
01:48What we experienced in instead of pregnancy were miscarriages. We would test positive for pregnancy but
01:58then after a short time my wife would miscarry she would bleed and the bleeding was severe and the
02:07components of the bleeding they were not a good side and so this problem it kept on pushing us and
02:16exacting pressures especially from family members and particularly on my wife's side because in our
02:26culture as a woman she's expected to to be a children so it was not easy to understand um what was going
02:35on throughout the nine years because we were praying trusting God to give us a child but nothing was
02:42happening and also there was nothing happening with uh on the part of of menstruation um and and so we
02:51decided because of those pressures we decided to to see a doctor to try to have a child and what we found
03:00out at the doctors was that uh my wife was encountering uh what was termed a hormonal imbalance so to stabilize
03:10the hormones for her to uh to menstruate normally and eventually for us to conceive we had to take
03:18um the pills or the medication regularly so she took um the pills but still were met with the disappointment
03:27of having just one menstruation in in in months so meaning to say that nothing really changed we did
03:35that with a doctor a few times and our situation uh never changed at all and that um started to to affect our
03:46relationship immensely because they they was like there is no solution we what are we where we're going
03:54to get the solution uh with my wife it was she she she was blaming herself and also was pressured to
04:05to start to look um at other options where God is not glorified uh because they were people from around
04:13our family circles um who were talking and also they were criticizing her um if she was uh a wife enough
04:22or good enough for me so is that in turn uh executed a lot of pressure on our on our marriage um whereby we
04:32argued a lot and we misunderstood each other a lot because of the pressure from from the outside
04:41we heard about god's heart tv uh sometime last year um on on youtube and we decided to to apply to be part
04:51of the interactive sessions and then on the seventh we were to attend um an interactive uh prayer session
05:00with the men of god uh but a few days before that by the power of jesus christ and the holy spirit we uh we
05:09saw a change that soon after we were given the link to join we saw a change for the first time after a
05:16very long time my wife menstruated and the her menstruation was the cleanest i'd ever seen in in
05:25the nine years we had been together and um two months after the interactive prayer session which
05:33happened on on the 7th of september 2024 we fell pregnant and um it's something that we really
05:41couldn't believe because in all the nine years we've been looking for a solution or we've been wanting to
05:47get pregnant and it was not happening i remember that we could not even believe that we're pregnant
05:52because uh we tested even twice to see that it was it was really or it was indeed true and then it
05:59turned out it was true we discovered that my wife was pregnant we discovered on the 3rd of january 2025
06:08um so after the prayer session uh we calculated that we got pregnant two months around two months after
06:18the the interactive session sorry and throughout the pregnancy we had those doubts and worries because
06:26i mean for nine years you've been trying for a child like every day you think about it every day it
06:32makes you argue and talk every day and now the child is here and you've you've encountered those
06:37miscarriages there are thoughts that come thoughts of worry and doubt around the pregnancy that will
06:44this pregnancy sustain until delivery but by the grace of god we will sin through the pregnancy to mention
06:51also we we my wife enjoyed attacks um it was nightmares and some attacks were physical and that also
07:00uh made us worry but by the grace of our lord and savior jesus christ we made it through um on the 25th of
07:08june this year my son was delivered though prematurely seven months um two weeks and um after waiting for
07:18him for nine years he comes out we are happy but there is um the effect time you know that was threatening
07:27to his life and also uh to our joy and happiness for for our situation he was born unable to breathe uh properly
07:37so he was put on oxygen in the icu and he also had jaundice and so this really um put us through
07:47at a very tough situation because we'd seen him you know we had we had been with him like during my wife's pregnancy and now
07:55um we had we had touched him we knew that this time we have a son but he's not okay he's not well is
08:04he gonna die what's going to happen that was when we um reached out to god heart tv on whatsapp and we
08:12requested prayers and um god's heart tv team was readily available to pray with us throughout that
08:20journey towards our son's complete recovery and um i remember when when his breathing had
08:28had improved and what was left was the jaundice and then this is other time my wife came from the
08:35hospital she was crying a lot and i felt hopeless for a moment because we thought that he had been fully
08:44recovering only to realize that the situation was getting worse but uh we had god's heart tv with us
08:52uh praying along with us and also texting us to ask how our son was and on the other hand we were also
09:01or in the process we were also connecting to the interactive prayer session praying with brother chris
09:07and um by god's grace and his awesome power our son was healed and he he was discharged you know um
09:17much much earlier than than we thought he would um be be discharged and um we saw we we've never
09:25witnessed the power of god or we'd never witnessed the power of god that way in our lives looking at the
09:29way our son um recovered and how is saith doing today how is his health how is he doing he's he's
09:37amazing he's asleep we we're afraid to wake him up we're afraid to wake him oh my god there he is
09:47wow but we can see we can see together what a beautiful happy family and we give god all the glory
09:53but we know the testimony doesn't end there tell us also what happened in terms of other parts of your
10:00life we had been encountering um financial problems throughout our uh our married life it was it was not
10:10easy and um we work in the in the media uh particularly in the film um in the film and tv area so it was not
10:20easy we are from we're from zimbabwe we're based in south africa the industry is not easy even for
10:26people who are south africans but by god's grace we got our breakthrough uh last year and um um this year
10:38um for for two t for our two tv shows we now have slots for our two tv shows one tv show is on single
10:47mothers and mental health and the other tv show the second tv show is on how people who almost died uh
10:56survived and um what we want to teach from from the show is after the survival what a better way can you
11:07live your life or what can you do for god what is it that what can you add to what positive thing can you do
11:17because you survived so we are privileged to have such content on us on a measure one major platform
11:26that we are on in in south africa because you don't find such content and so the content is positive
11:33it divides it edifies it encourages so when you've struggled a lot it's it's unreal when you are no
11:42longer struggling i guess that's why uh miracles are called miracles so it's been we've been so restored
11:51so replenished i mean i can use every word that uh to explain our financial situation the way it has
11:59turned around because we also used to argue a lot because of the the finances but now there's lots less
12:08talking on on both the issue of of the fruit of the womb and finances because god has god has been
12:16great i mean god has been great god has blessed us a lot we we talk less and we praise god a lot we were
12:24blessed with an amazing car we were blessed with an amazing car and the price that we got it at i mean we
12:30couldn't believe but you know when when it's god's time everything comes together as if as if life is
12:38supposed to be like that things are not as difficult as they were in the past god um answers our prayers
12:47constantly and we are blessed constantly we're an amazing family praise and peace to you all
12:53um my name is my husband said it all so i'll talk i'll summarize a bit about my journey when i was
13:03pregnant and my journey when i was looking for the fruit of the womb i remember i faced um my faith was
13:10tested a lot especially with the people around me with the family with friends and uh with the community
13:17i can say so um i end up going for spiritualist and happiness looking for the fruit of the womb yet i
13:26was playing myself i was just doing things that are not glorifying god at the end of the day of which
13:33i was doing a bad thing and it was a bad idea i listened to people around me okay i found god's
13:41heart tv on youtube when i was just browsing um then after that i sent an email they replied
13:47us soon after we received the link for us to join this the internet interactive prayer i got my
13:55breakthrough in menstruation after two years so god already touched our situation before we joined
14:02interactive prayer so you mean you didn't have your menstruation for two years and then after two
14:09years of cease menstruation as you sent your prayer request the menstruation started to flow
14:14even before you joined the interactive prayer service yes yes okay i felt pregnant um as someone
14:23who been like uh okay if i skip the menses i'll do the test then i was like i i gave up actually to do
14:29the test and then i i like i felt the symptoms then i was like no let me just not pay attention if because
14:38i've been facing some miscarriages and all those things then i relaxed and i just i ignored the the
14:46the the the symptoms and all those things then i focused on myself went back then i was working also
14:52then uh december i was like really not okay but then i just ignored and then i move on with my life
14:59and then january that's where we decided to just let's do a test because i think i'm not okay that's
15:05where we found out that i'm pregnant i think two months after interactive prayer soon after i
15:12thought i discovered that i'm pregnant uh we used to connect always when we get time especially on
15:18saturday like this we used to connect when you get chances or when we are sleeping we used to play the
15:25prayers i used to put my uh my phone on top of the uh of the pregnancy when we are sleeping uh even i gave
15:33faith with the uh prematurely my baby i used to put uh the in the prayers uh where he used to sleep
15:44when i visited him then when we admitted together i was with him for for say for five days i used to
15:51put prayers under him wow and slowly but surely but indeed he was healed from that jaundice and that oxygen
16:03uh breathing problem isn't it yes yes my advice to everyone who's looking for the fruit of the womb don't waste
16:12time uh going to spiritualists upper list and all those things all those things you are just delaying
16:19yourself lucid god run to god god is the solution of every problem that you are facing i just want to say
16:28that from all this that happened i learned that god can communicate to us through our different
16:38situations there are times where we can want a difficult situation to end but when god has not
16:46finished uh talking or addressing some issues in our lives it cannot end so we need to permit god's
16:54patience not our own patience our own patience can just be a patience of two years i'm done i've prayed
17:02enough yet god is saying in the fourth year i'm going to and i'm going to answer you i'm going to
17:08deliver you i'm going to come for you and it's all for us for our character so that it's intact by the time
17:15we receive um that you know a dear blessing that we are seeking so god can sharpen us through various
17:24things but let's stick to god whether we are having good times or bad times because he doesn't change
17:35just because um we are not getting what we want it doesn't mean that god is not talking god is saying
17:42something always in your life if only you are still and know that he is god and listen yeah i'm going
17:50to stop there but we like to thank jesus our lord and our savior jesus paid it all we are blessed by you
17:58oh lord we thank you we thank you lord we thank you
18:16so
18:28so
