I knew Pastor (Mrs.) Uche and her husband, Engr. Pastor Ezekiel Ezechim when they were in Port Harcourt, Nigeria when I was based in Cross Rivers State. We prayed together for the fruit of the womb and for growth in their ministry. God spoke to them about their relocation to Canada and that they would bear their children. However, it did not make great sense; neither did it seem real, judging by what was on the ground then. Nevertheless,
I am privileged to write the foreword of a book where the testimony of the fulfilled Word of God is documented. I am very refreshed and would want you to share in this refreshing. I visited them in Canada four times to see and touch the evidence of God’s faithfulness and His mercies. The testimonies in this book are real and only point to the fact that God’s Word is forever settled in Heaven as recorded in Psalm 119: 89. God’s promises in Christ Jesus are yea and Amen (2 Cor. 1:20) and if God has spoken, He will hasten His word to perform it (Jer. 1:12). Another important aspect of this story is the personal drive of the author and her husband to realize what God promised them. Proverbs 12:27 paints a graphic picture of the very reason many people do not receive the promises of God. “The slothful (lazy) man roasteth not that which he took in hunting.” God is a rewarder of them who “diligently” seek Him (Heb. 11:6). This book teaches us to aggressively and diligently take hold of God’s promises to us until they are realized physically. I therefore strongly recommend this book to everyone who has respect for God and desires a fulfilment of His promises in his or her life. I also recommend it to people who are yet to taste the saving grace and strength of the Lord Jesus Christ. May this small but truthful and powerful book become a doorway to your desired miracle. My prayer also is that this book will richly bless all its readers and whoever will hear the testimonies through you, the reader. Amen.

This book is timely, and its content can be summed up
in the words of 2nd Corinthians 1:3-4:“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” It is a down-to-earth documentation of the personal experience of Uche and her dear husband Ezekiel in their journey from infertility to being joyful parents of three children! Having gone through the ordeal, Uche is better able, from experiential knowledge, to identify with the pains and distress of couples going through the same challenge of infertility. Fruitful Vine and Olive Shoots xx Her testimony attests to the practical reality of God’s divine power and ability to intervene in the affairs of men. It tells of wholehearted dependence on God, faith in His Word, a Kingdom lifestyle and a life of fervent prayer with fasting. She addresses the medical, emotional and spiritual aspects of the problem and proffers the solution that worked for her to seekers. The book is easy to read and understand and is highly recommended for couples who desire to have children of their own. May the Lord use the content of the book to break the yoke of barrenness and bring joy and gladness to homes.
