00:00when brother chris touched my knee i knew it wasn't brother chris that touched me i knew i
00:04was standing right before my maker just using brother chris because he went straight into my
00:16problem
00:33my name is nelson and i'm from nigeria but i live and work here in the uk
00:39and i have several testimonies to share for the goodness of god because i want to say
00:45i thank god for the amazing work the lord is using to do with brother chris in our midst
00:52so as in the clip we just watched was in 2024 when we were invited over for volunteers people that
01:01wanted to volunteer in the ministry so when they had no expectation it was just more of um
01:07understanding why i would like to volunteer so i went with my brother and um as brother chris always
01:13does he whenever we find ourselves opportunity to be around him he prays for us so um before the
01:20meeting i had this issue with my knee so what would happen it would lock up it would get locked
01:26and um
01:28i can't walk with it freely so i'd have to drag it along the the house but it was not
01:35so much of a
01:35pressing issue for me because of how intermittent it was it does not happen all the time so i didn't
01:41really think it was much of an issue i thought it would um it would just go away naturally uh
01:46but a
01:46part of me also was telling me oh because growing up my mom always complained about knee joints and stuff
01:52so i was thinking have i got the same knees as my mom but i just thought i'm still young
01:56for that
01:56so when i was in that moment being prayed for i was not feeling the the knee was free so
02:04i didn't
02:04think it was an issue so i was just in the moment of prayer i was just you know opening
02:09my heart for
02:09god to to use his servant to touch me so when he touched me my eyes were closed and then
02:15he touched my
02:15knee that took me back a little bit because even though i was not thinking about that in that moment
02:21and that convinced me that i was stood in the presence of god because only god could have
02:26known that there was an issue there even me did not know how much of an issue it was in
02:30that moment
02:31so i was really happy i stood there with my brother he's a lot taller than me so i told
02:36him about
02:37the old thing because i didn't he didn't know beforehand so i explained that i've been having this issue
02:42and it touched my knee and when i got home i told my wife as well i didn't feel anything
02:48when he
02:48when he prayed for me but when i got home that night i slept as normal so in my sleep
02:53it felt like
02:53i was in an operating room it felt like i was awake and i sleep at the same time the
02:59reason i said that
02:59was because i could feel the pain it was real it was excruciating pain i was just sleeping through it
03:06i was tossing and turning so when i woke up that morning everything was done and i had that feeling
03:12that wow something just happened to my knee and that was it since that moment till now my knee is
03:17all good initially i was waiting for it to something's triggered like exercises i was waiting for it to
03:23happen it never happened again and since then my knee is free could you stand up for the glory of
03:28god
03:28and show us what you can do now after the prayer so before uh when it locks up i can't
03:34rotate the knee
03:36you know bend so i have to drag it across so now you know i can i can squat before
03:45i can do that i
03:46just have to drag it across the place wow we thank god so as you were exercising there were you
03:51feeling
03:52any pain absolutely not no no and you've not experienced that problem no absolutely no it's
03:57it's quite you can't miss it if it happens you can't do anything so i've not experienced it so
04:02my other testimony is about uh a breakthrough in my career again this was unexpected i was just uh
04:11part of the prayer it was this uh 2026 special prayer for 2026 so this was held on december 26
04:202025
04:21so during the prayer it was late into the night it was around 2am uk time i was involved in
04:27it i was
04:27just praying with brother chris um so he raised the prayer points so he would raise different prayer
04:31points and then he would walk off the stage allow us to pray with those prayer points so when he
04:35got
04:35to this prayer point it was about being comfortable with mediocrity there are many connected to this prayer
04:46right now who are currently working in a job that is below their potential ask god right now
05:00to elevate or transfer you to a job in line with your potential in line with your calling in line
05:15with your gifts from above offer that prayer so when he got to that prayer point it was like he
05:21was talking to me so when he raised the prayer points i prayed along but in that moment i had
05:27the condition in my spirit that this prayer point was for me so how it relates to me was because
05:32um i've
05:32been in my previous role at work i've been there for four years usually i don't take that long in
05:39a specific
05:39role um you know i moved quite quickly but i got to that point where i was comfortable with the
05:46pay i
05:47was comfortable with my responsibilities and i thought i'm going to stay here so when he raised that
05:51prayer point uh it felt like it was for me so i then reviewed my career and thought there's an
05:58opportunity
05:58open in my current workplace that i knew i could apply for but i was not you know i was
06:04not doing it even
06:05previously there were rules even people within my organization would be looking at me i'm thinking
06:10i'm not interested so i then spoke to some colleagues to get their thoughts on it to see
06:16what do you think i'm looking to apply for this their opinions on it were positive but they were always
06:22saying yeah you can apply for it but don't be disappointed if you don't get it i'm speaking to
06:26people higher than myself like people that are involved in those conversations like senior managers
06:32so but i always thought to myself why would they say don't be disappointed if you don't get it
06:36because i had the conviction in my spirit when brother chris prayed that prayer so then i said to myself
06:41that i cannot be relying on your opinion to go for this i need to rely on that conviction that
06:46i had in
06:46my spirit so the job adverts needed some certifications so none of us within the business in that sector
06:54had those qualifications so this was channeled towards external candidates uh with my workplace when it's
07:01channeled towards external candidates the salary is different so there's a bigger bump in the salary
07:07this was towards the end of the year so we went into christmas break so that period it was about
07:11two
07:11weeks it was a short time but i then focused on preparing to get those certifications that i was
07:17missing so my wife also created the environment with the kids so i could prepare for the exams so i
07:25took
07:25exams i was a little bit worried about one but i passed the one i was worried about more than
07:30the
07:30first one so all glory to god for that because he gave the wisdom to to do that and so
07:36the beginning
07:37of the year we went back to work after the new year so then i had the two certifications so
07:41there
07:41was hardly anything in my way now so i was looking really good so i again started speaking with people
07:47around the business and i was supposed to begin in january 2026 because they put the they put the
07:55dates there 20th january application is supposed to close if you don't apply before that you know
08:00that's it so the time came and went and then there was nothing so i was beginning to get worried
08:06i started
08:06speaking to people again what's going on how come you know this is the deadline is passed so then i
08:12was
08:12informed that they've not found candidates that's mashed myself so then i was thinking if you have
08:17found good candidates give me the job then so but then they extended it to marsh and i didn't like
08:24it because i was thinking you know this is not how it should go but then i then saw a
08:30clip of brother
08:31chris again on youtube it felt like it was talking to me again but it was just saying that um
08:38we confined
08:39in the people that would not help our situation i'm paraphrasing so again it felt like it was talking to
08:45me so i realized i'm speaking to everyone around the business i need to focus on what god has said
08:50about the situation so then i said to myself i'm going to focus on my current responsibilities and
08:57prepare myself for the future possible job interview so then they found other candidates they they did their
09:05initial interviews and they brought us all together so then they put the interview dates so it was end of
09:11marsh so 26th of marsh so when we did the interview within two hours i was offered the role i
09:18was
09:18really good um thanks to god honestly i was surprised and i didn't leave the office they called me in
09:25and
09:25they just offered it to me and i began in april initially it was challenging uh but since then it's
09:32been great because you know i've been pushed to a different realm where you know i was no longer in
09:37the
09:37place i was in so before i was a technical systems analyst uh now i'm a cloud system engineer and
09:43uh
09:4425 increase in salary and yeah all glory to god honestly we're planning to celebrate our wedding
09:52and where obviously needed extra bit of finances so that has provided extra bit of finances and yeah
09:59we can't thank god enough for what he has done through the opportunity tell us about some other
10:04aspects of your life that god has touched i think it was um end of 2023 probably beginning of 2024
10:13so i
10:14reached out so we so we my my wife took in uh she got pregnant uh 2023 october at the
10:21time we're not
10:22married so uh in october she took in and in december she was bleeding it was three months in and
10:29i was at
10:29work so she called me she she said she's bleeding and usually when you're pregnant and you're bleeding
10:34in in that manner natural events tells you that this is not good so when she told me that she
10:40i
10:40told her okay take go with your mom and go to the um to the doctors and see what happens
10:45so they went to
10:46the uh emergency session they made them wait for a long time eventually they go they got to see the
10:51doctor well the doctor said there was nothing they could do that they needed to wait and see what happens
10:56and then come for a scan and stuff so they informed me i was at work and i told her
11:01okay that's fine you
11:01know just going and relax then i reached out again so they got out tv team i sent a prayer
11:07request and
11:09about the situation and then brother chris called us he told us to be together and then he called us
11:15and he prayed with us over the phone and we just you know prayed along with him and then we
11:21went for
11:21the scanner baby was fine there was no there were no issues and then the pregnancy went to completion
11:28and honestly it was so smooth that um we got to the hospital and she gave birth within an hour
11:37so when
11:38we got into the room for her to give birth her mom went to the car to get a drink
11:43for her before her
11:44mom came back she already gave birth so the baby literally just came out um we had no difficulties with
11:50it and we really want to thank god for what the lord almighty has used brother chris to do in
11:54our lives
11:55as she was pregnant during that period that same period we were looking to make a different
12:01financial decisions and stuff we had a massive disagreement so the disagreements was so big
12:07we could not get over it so it's either we decide on a consensus on what to do or we
12:13can no longer be
12:14together and i got to the point and i believe she did as well that we were ready to go
12:19our separate ways
12:20um as a result of that so i already had a decision in my heart what i wanted to do
12:25which um i did not
12:28share but i reached out to brother chris because i just wanted to get god's opinion on the matter
12:33so i reached out to the god's activity um through the uh contact on the on the page on their
12:39you know
12:40official site i detailed the situation and then i went into a period of fasting and prayer for three
12:48days because i had a heavy heart so then brother chris called so when he called there was something
12:55on my heart my prayer request in the in that three day of fasting and prayer was that god's opinion
13:02should align to my opinion i mean you know what god wants should be what i want right so when
13:11brother
13:12chris called the first thing he said was that what he would say might not be what i want to
13:17hear
13:18so that was the opposite of my prayer but what that did he kept me at ease because it was
13:24god
13:24seeing through my heart and saying to me it's not what you want listen to what i want to tell
13:28you
13:30so then i was at ease i was willing to hear what he had to say so he advised me
13:35told me the opposite
13:36of what i wanted to do what i i was not at a place to accept it so i took
13:41it on board so the thing is
13:43the issue was a financial decision we wanted to make but when he called me his emphasis was about
13:49our marriage he said we should prioritize our marriage part of me in my heart was thinking
13:55we we were planning to get married we didn't know when we didn't put a fixed date but we intended
14:01to
14:01get married but we're not putting it putting it as a priority so he emphasized that we should prioritize
14:06that so in my mind i was thinking why would you why would you be saying that that's not really
14:12the
14:12issue but i took it on so we went ahead with the financial decision with the way he advised
14:20and then we prioritized our marriage so august of 2025 we got married and immediately after that
14:30the issues that we were having all of them just got resolved naturally and what that did is it brought
14:36peace into our marriage into our home so before we were always any issues we had always referred back
14:41to that big disagreement but uh since then you know the lord used brother christ to put to bring
14:48unity to bring understanding so now when we even have disagreements it's not it's not massive it's
14:55things that we can sit over come to a better understanding and move forward together we see
15:00sure that differently so we've been together since 2013 uh but it feels like really to us that the last
15:06two years has been the most important part of our life and we really thank god for that and how
15:11is
15:11married life it's great um yeah to me feels like she's my wife and we're planning the celebration so
15:18we did it without the celebration just to get it done legally uh so we're planning celebration to come
15:23you have been volunteering with god's heart tv is that right yes that's correct and how has that
15:29encouraged your spiritual life it's amazing honestly i used to watch it from home every
15:36first saturday of the month but coming down here i don't take anything for granted
15:41it makes me even closer to just where it's happening um but not to discount the encounters
15:48about from home you know but being in the presence of god right next to where it's happening i don't
15:55take it for granted and i you know it's it's uh boosted my spiritual life so before when i used
16:00to
16:00worship for more sometimes i get distracted but now when i have to come down here and be involved with
16:06the
16:06team and see all the amazing work they're doing i feel really connected and i don't have moments
16:10of distraction and i can pray along with my heart even as i'm working what would be your advice maybe
16:16there are some couples out there who are not doing the right thing who are living and in unrighteousness
16:21because they have not yet married what would your advice be to to people regarding doing the right thing
16:27yeah so my advice would be to do the right thing to make it um legal before god and man
16:32that's what brother chris told me so it's a covenant what chris said marriage is god's design and um
16:42you know i should we should do it and i would encourage anyone listening to me that uh in a
16:48relationship with children that are not married that they should do the writing and get married
16:54because that is god's design for us and then in terms of people who are watching maybe looking onto god
17:01for breakthrough in other aspects of their life whether it's in their health or in their career
17:05their finances what would your advice be to them my advice would be um they should not give up even
17:13if
17:14they've been in the god's presence in prayer meetings um live interaction at interactive prayer
17:20and the situations to persist they should not judge the um their faith on the outcome of their prayer
17:26um that they should continue to believe in god and know that they are in the presence of god
17:31um when brother chris touched my knee i knew it wasn't brother chris that touched me i knew i was
17:37standing right before my maker just using brother chris because he went straight into my problem
17:42and it might take time but that should build our faith and encourage us to continue to trust god
17:47for breakthrough and we understand you're ahead today with your wife with your children so can we
17:55welcome them into the studio bring them in and introduce them yeah that's my beautiful wife
18:01to ani and that's our son matthias and our lovely daughter valentia and valentia is this the child
18:10that you referenced in the testimony that's right that's right she's almost two so this was back in
18:152024 so in july she will be too oh to god be the glory and to your wife what could
18:22you say
18:22of all these things that the lord has done for you and your family thank you jesus
18:32then a thought of bad things was coming to my mind because i had experience of people around me
18:40who suffered similar things and they died and i was like oh god how am i going to survive this
18:48coming from a poor background and stuff
18:52you
