It was a celebration of Christianity and African culture yesterday at St Michael Catholic Church, Ozubulu, as a popular native doctor Chief Emeka Okwumuo went for Thanksgiving after getting a miraculous healing from a life threatening ailment.
The native doctor, well known for his herbal prowess suddenly fell sick and became paralyzed. All efforts to ensure his quick recovery proved abortive as things moved from bad to worse for him.
“I was dumped in the hospital helpless and I was actually waiting for my death but my wife and priests kept praying for me.
“It was in the course of the prayers that the Almighty God healed when all hopes of my recovery was almost gone, my experience made me know and appreciate the supremacy of the Most High God in the affairs of man,” Chief Okwumuo explained.
He said that he actually in church on Sunday to give testimony of the mighty hands of God upon his life.
In his comment, the Episcopal Vicar of Ozubulu Archdiocese of Nnewi Diocese of Catholic Church, Very Rev Fr Hygi Aghulor said that the native doctor is a very popular personality in the area and beyond.
Very Rev Fr Aghulor who is also the parish priest of St Michael Catholic Parish Ozubulu said that the celebrant got to know that there is deeper life with God than the magic things.
“He refused to consult diviners and never allowed anybody to go on his behalf. He was seriously sick at a period of time but God healed him, he was almost paralyzed, but can now walk and even drive his car,” he said.
