Plagued with asthma since he was an infant, little Abraham's short life was filled with hardship and sickness. His single mom Angel toiled endlessly to support her child and his medical needs. Fending for herself and fretting about Abraham's welfare everyday, Angel was in dire need of a miracle.
One unfortunate day, she found the boy very pale and heaving. When she rushed him to the doctor, young Abraham's body was already cold and the doctor revealed he did not only have asthma, but tuberculosis and anemia, as well. Too late for healing he said, the doctor advised Angel to take Abraham back home as there was nothing else he can do.
Much to her sorrow and dismay, she took the boy and headed back to their house. After years of suffering, Abraham's young body succumbed to his illnesses on the way home and he perished on a Friday. "They already kept his body for mourning and call in a Pastor for prayer," according to I'm So Blessed Daily.
Seeing their faces wrought with sadness and shock, the pastor encouraged them to call on the name of the Lord. He claimed that with God the impossible is possible and that death is defeated by the life Himself. Responding to his words, the mourners fervently prayed and watched CBN videos.
When one of the hosts prayed, all jaws dropped as Abraham resurrects. Angel's heart soared and the town, in response to the death-defeating miracle, gave their lives to Christ. Even the physician of Abraham did. The night of mourning passed and the new light of rejoicing dawned upon them.
Modern day miracles still do transpire, just like the resurrection of Lazarus during the Bible times. What is essential is to have faith. His sister Martha forgot that she was good friends with the Christ and that miracles do exist. Due to her unbelief, "Jesus rebukes Martha for her lack of understanding about what Jesus was trying to tell her 'Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God'?" quotes Patheos.
Indeed, because of the faith of the people in Africa, they have seen His glory in the form of a dead boy being raised to life. Though Abraham couldn't remember much about his asthma, he recalled the day he spent in Heaven. He said everyone was glowing and they were playing soccer. Everything was beautiful there but he had a life to come back to. He had to go home and live the miracle.
Meanwhile, even though miracles still do exist, some skeptics still find these stories unbelievable. But as an one adage says, "Never stop believing in hope because miracles happen everyday."
