Testimony Time ๐ฅ
On Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 at exactly 11:30pm, I heard a knock on my window three times.
I was too scared to answer. The third time, I gathered courage and asked, "Who is that?" A trembing voice replied challenge is
Ma... it's Esther. There is fire in the factory . In that moment, I died inside.
A cold wave ran through my spine. My heart pounded so loudly and fast I could hear it. A million thoughts rushed through my head.
Did any of my staff leave a machine on? The dehydrator?
My factory? My investment? My almost seven years of sweat, blood, sacrifice, fasting, prayers?
Before I even stepped out of my room, I had already imagined the worst They told me firefighters were there. A lot of people were trying to put out the fire. It was late. My children were asleep. I couldn't even drive out at that hour. I cried so much.
I made call, I was confused, It felt like the most devastating night of my life.
My greatest fear had happened
But even in that pain, I kept saying, God loves me too much to let this destroy me.
I have not served God in vain! No!!!
Just like the Bible says in Book of Isaiah 45:19
Seek ye me not in vain.
And in 1 Corinthians 15:58 Your labour is not in vain
It was 30minutes to Hallelujah Challenge. I didn't know the extent of the damage the fire had caused. I didn't know what was left. But I made a decision, that no matter what is happening in that factory, I will praise my God! With tears, I worshipped, I cried and I praised God. I said, Lord, I cannot serve You in vain! No!!!
That was the longest night of my life.
Morning finally came. I dropped my children at school and went straight to the factory, preparing my heart for loss. But what I saw is a miracle! ๐๐ป๐๐ป
The house where the fire started was completely burnt down. (There is a silent battle story behind it, l will leave out)
Our meter was burnt.
But my factory?
Not a single product touched!
Not one machine destroyed!!
Not a pin missing!!!
There was even a gallon of fuel inside the factory.
Hey God! What would I have said if that had exploded?
The Muslim boys in the area risked their lives for me. They climbed the roof. They removed zinc, doors, windows, POP.
One of them rode to Kubwa to bring firefighters immediately. They stayed all night protecting my machines and products from theft.
Products customers had already paid for.
Orders I had collected money for that day.
Nothing burnt!
Nothing missing!!
Nothing broken!!!
While I was worshipping during Hallelujah
Challenge, I saw in the spirit about seven to ten people in white garments, holding hands, standing in front of my factory.
If this is not God, tell me what it is!!!
Daniel 11:32 They that know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Seven years of blood and sacrifice preserved in one night.
I boast in my God!!! He did not allow my tears to become tears of loss.
He stood by me!
And today, I stand as a living testimony. INDEED I HAVE NOT SERVED GOD IN VAIN! Hallelujah Mercy!
