Former Minister of State for Interior, Humphrey Abah and his
wife, Mrs Mary Abah, who he marred 23 years ago welcomed a baby recently. 49
year old Mary, who is a lawyer and banker, shared her experience and her challenges of being married for so long
without a child and the support she got from her husband.
"When they told me I was pregnant, I screamed and cried
in the hospital and everyone present rose up and gave thanks to the Lord. Since
then, the story has been one testimony after another. But that was not all,
when I was to put to bed, I was told there might be complications as a result
of all the operations I had done. They said that might make it a very difficult
and dangerous birth.
Yet, the Lord saw me through. It feels great and I thank the
Lord for wiping away my tears and making me a mother at last. It is a dream I
have had since I married at the age of 27. Now, I am more than 49 years old, it
has taken a long time but the Lord has done it for me.
I have shed a lot of tears. Our story is like that of
Abraham and Sarah. I am already in menopause but I told God that if He did it
for Sarah and gave her womb the strength to conceive, then He would give my
womb the same strength. Even when doctors in London told me in 2011 that
nothing could be done, I knew that it is only Him (the Lord) that could help
me. I focused on the Lord and He did it for me. Very encouraging.
