It was a glorious moment of Praise worship and thanksgiving to God when a pregnant woman,Mrs Ijeoma Oluchi Michael was delivered of a bouncing baby girl in the church last Wednesday during a mid-week fellowship,faith clinic Christ Anglican Church, Owerri.
Mrs Ijeoma Michael was attending the fellowship as usual with no signs of labour when midway into the service she started having pains and became restless.
A staff nurse midwife of Federal Medical Centre Owerri Mrs Onyemenam Chidinma Philip who was sitting close to the woman noticed that she had a raptured membrane and quickly gave her attention.
After closely examining her,she noticed that the pregnant woman was fully dilated and could no longer move, the nurse rushed to her vehicle outside the church compound and picked her hand gloves to assist.
Some women in the church brought the pregnant woman outside in the field and formed a screen around her with their wrappers and the nurse took delivery of the baby at exactly 10.15am.
Mrs Philip in company of other nurses who were also in the church at that time,took the mother and baby to the Federal Medical Centre where she registered for further examination and observation as well as Medicare.
The church was then agog as the worshippers went into more praises and thanksgiving to God for the great and wonderful thing He has done
Commenting on the incident, the man of God incharge of the faith clinic,Christ Anglican church Owerri, Evangelist Christopher Elenmuo said when he noticed of the strange behaviour of the pregnant woman,he went to where she was sitting to pray for her.
On getting to the scene he directed that the woman be taken to FMC immediately.As people were taking her outside the church to where a car was parked,she was delivered of a bouncing baby girl.Evangelist Elenmuo said God has once more demonstrated his promise that no pregnant woman who attends faith clinic will have problem during delivery.
He remarked that if the woman had had signs, she couldn’t have come to the fellowship at all but it was God’s design to manifest His power to the people and later christened the baby CONVENANT.
