I Became Strong In Weakness

Hello Friends,

---

There's a saying which states that "tough times do not last, but tough people do." This is the reality of life, as I personally experienced one of my greatest fears turn into mere smoke.

I can confidently proclaim today that I do not fear death anymore. Infact am ready to die at any given time from now, if the need arises. I can say this because I have seen death, but it wasn't able to take me.

No wonder the saying; "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". I find this statement to be true, because we humans tend to learn our lessons the hard way, and in most cases, we become fearless of what ones scared us.

Depending on the challenge, we always become more confident and stronger after overcoming one terrible phase of our lives. But what exactly is my story all about? and why do I not fear death anymore?

My Fear For Medical Examinations

It all sarted while growing up, as I was often taken to the hospital on so many occasions, and I would be injected with the syringe which I feared so much.

Infact at that time, I was more afraid of getting sick at all, because I have observed that the injections were my doctor's favourite options.

It was said that sickness was part of the elements that makes us grow as humans, and as such it's normal for a person to fall sick all the time.

For me, I never wanted to believe the theory that sickness was part of my existence. But my body and health systems wasn't cooperating with me. Infact, the more I feared sickness, the more often I fell sick.

How My Fear For Sickness Made Me Sick

Let me start by telling us that our minds are very powerful, and our negative imaginations can cause more harm than good to us. I learned this the hard way at one point of my life.

The fear of sickness got to my head too much, and at one time of my life, I began to imagine what I would do if I am diagnosed with a critical health challenge.

This thought and imaginations grew higher and at one point, I couldn't stop thinking, as I was being terrified of what my fate would be if I fell terribly sick. It was clear that I was afraid to die from sickness at that time.

It got to a point that what I feared and thought about always began to manifest in the real life, lol. My fear of death and sickness made me an overthinker, and as a result I was diagnosed of having high blood pressure at my early 20's, lol.

The realization of what might follow after this illness was what scared me the most. It got very severe that I even began to feel some sort of pain on my chest.

To even add to my fears, I was recommended to go to a Federal hospital that was outside my state. This was undoubtedly the worst period of my life, as I was to go through what I had avoided for years.

Me at the doctor's office	Preparing X-ray Result

All manner of blood tests and examinations were done on my body. And as you might have rightly guessed, the syringe which I feared from childhood was used on me countless times until I became used to it.

After countless tests, scans, and examinations, the doctors said all my internal organs and structures were perfectly fine, and they couldn't ascertain the main cause of this my high blood pressure.

Infact, it was a teaching hospital, and all the final year students came to use my body for experiments. They would take turns to listen to my heart beats and they would give their opinions of what might be happening to me.

I got fed up with all their theories and examinations, and I told myself that I was not created to be sick and the only reason I am still sick was because I had not yet understood what my mind was cable of achieving.

How It Ended And Lesson Learned

Some drugs were recommended for me to take everyday of my life in order to control the pressure of my blood, but after about 1 week of taking the drugs, I told myself that I would never take them again, even if it would cost my life.

Infact, I told myself that I would never be sick again, and from that day onwards till now (about 3-4 years now) I have been healthier. Infact the last time I checked my blood pressure, it was very normal.

I made peace with my maker (God Almighty) who healed me, and I became fearless of even death.

I learned alot from this incident:

---

• We were all created in the likeness of God, which means we are not supposed to be sick, except we do not have eternal life in us. This mindset can make anybody become sickless.

• I equally learnt that our minds are very powerful, the more positive or negative thoughts we have, the more positively or negatively our life's become respectively.

• I learned that fear is the worst and most tormenting thing to happen to man, and we must kill our fears to see the best of life. This is how I gradually became fearless.
