Join me and thank God for my son who was running a serious temperature in my absence. My wife had to call and he was rushed to a nearby health facility while I cut short my engagements for the day to be with them. It was when everything became normal that I was able to get back to other schedules of the day. Follow my storyline as I take you through the day in it morning, afternoon and evening respectively.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MORNING?

We woke up and prayed; before then I had done my personal prayers and laid my hands on my family before the general devotion. I did the laying on of hands while I was still asleep. Our son had found it difficult to sleep the night before, and he was coughing spontaneously, so we gave him children's medicine to take care of it.

At about 8:34am I left for Atiku Abubakar Road in Uyo for a devotion with Destiny Clothing Global Fashion Limited. The devotion commenced at 9am. This Fashion house usually prays every first Monday of the month except it falls on the 1st day of the month, then the fellowship is shifted to the 2nd Monday, hence, the reason I went yesterday.

	With the CEO

It was a glorious time with the CEO and his apprentices who are so committed to this skill acquisition and the prayer was very rewarding as we prayed and thanked God for seeing us through the end of the year, and prayed for all their clients who have been doing business with them. After the prayers, we had a group photograph of the cross section of those who were in attendance for the end of the year prayers.

While I was still there, when I got a call from my wife telling me about the state of our son's body temperature and I gave a prompt for her to take him to the health center by Wellington Bassey Way (Barracks Road) in Uyo. At this point I canceled every other schedule I had with the YOWICCN which I was to engage myself with immediately.

IN THE AFTERNOON

I finished with Destiny Clothing Global. I rushed to meet them, this was around 12:23am. I told he didn't eat, I told to buy anything he would love to eat, meanwhile I got a banana on the way because he likes it a lot.

On getting to Wellington Bassey Way workers and others in good numbers were waiting for the for the buses plying the route, I joined them, at some point it became a struggle amongst the people as buses were coming in turns, on my side knowing the haste of getting to the clinic, had to join and pave way for myself to getting to my family. I went down the road, and joined the bus that was dropping off others from the opposite direction.

	Crowd Waiting

In less than 5 minutes I was in the Primary Healthcare and health center of Akwa Ibom State, Uyo precisely. Patients were much, sick children were many also. Those aged people under insurance crowded the corridors of the clinic while other sections were doing antenatal care. That was my first time in the facility since the present government of Akwa Ibom State who promised its people Healthcare in his administration. The health center structurally is one of the best in Nigeria, very neat with modern Healthcare facilities workers in their respective numbers working tirelessly to give back to the society. The ambience of the place almost distracted why I went there, but immediately I remembered my son, I then rushed inside and I met them in one of the offices waiting for his test results after they had taken care of his temperature and a dose was administered to him. He walked and ate the banana I bought for him. Although we spent unbudgeted money, his health is our priority at the moment. He was given proper treatment and left there around 1:47pm with prescribed drugs.

EVENING TIME

Coming back from the clinic, we had to eat and rested. Our son was on marathon sleep. The drugs and injections induced him and we while watching over him fell asleep together. It was when I woke up and I remembered letters I and the chairman of YOWICCN was supposed to drop to churches to serve as a reminder to our forthcoming event on 14th December 2025, that i put a call and we went quite, but we were able to successfully dropped it with The Presbyterian Church of Uyo Model Parish, The Methodist Church of Nigeria Itu Diocese, The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria Ani Parish, St. Michael's African Church, Four Towns, The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria Four Towns Parish. We couldn't continue with the dispatching of the letters due to nightfall.

I got home 8:54pm with so much joy to watch the match between Wolves and Manchester United but there was no electricity and I focused on my son whose temperature was fluctuating while trusting that the treatment will work faster than our imagination, of course he is better now, apart the temperature, he is not coughing again.

I thank God for His grace and healing mercy upon him. You may spend money but healing belongs to God. And I use this medium to pray for everyone reading this post, that you're healed from every sickness in your body in Jesus Christ's name AMEN21X.
