Purpose

Mr. and Mrs. Ilori had just given birth to their second child, who was also their first son. They thought they could never give birth again after the doctor’s report. Abigail, the first child and first daughter of her parents, was thirteen years old when her brother, Damilola, was born. She was overjoyed about the birth of her brother after being alone for 13 years. Abigail was in JSS 3 about the time when her mother gave birth. Her parents were very devout Christians who always spent time with the word of God. After Abigail was born, her mother had a lot of miscarriages. At that time, the number of miscarriages she had was almost higher than Abigail’s age. They went from one hospital to another seeking a cure for Mrs. Ilori’s miscarriages. After spending all that they had on a problem they could not find a solution to, they gave up. Despite the fact that they gave up, they still believed in God’s plan. After they stopped worrying about the problem, Mrs. Ilori was confirmed pregnant. When they went for a scan in the hospital, she was confirmed pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, but unfortunately, it was only a boy she gave birth to. Still angry within her spirit, she thanked God for giving her a son who would carry their family name from generations to generations. After this miracle, all the doctors believed in God and His power.
