Identity and Baptism
On November 17 2009, Umelo Emmanuel was born in the family of five (the father: Mr Chinedu Umelo, mother: Mrs Mercy Umelo, and the two children). He is the fourth child and was treated well as the baby of the house . During his birth there were many prophecies that were prophesied about his family. The prophesies were: He will succeed in life, he will be rich, he will be God's own Child. His mother kept saying Amen for every Prophecy the Prophet gave to her.
Three days after Emmanuel birth, a Prophet came to her for Prayers and the conversation began:
Pastor: Knock, Knock
Mother: Who is there?
Pastor: it is your pastor
Mother: wow!!!
Mrs Mercy opened the door for the Pastor and he came in and sat on the sofa in the sitting room. Welcome, Mrs Umelo began, Thank you, The Pastor replied. I came here for a reason, The Pastor began the conversation.
Mother: What is the reason for your coming, sir?
Pastor: I came to pray for the new born baby, so it is time for Prayers, stand up let us Pray.
Everyone stood up for Prayers. Then the Pastor Prayed for the Family and said "I see this child becoming a great boy but you have to teach him the ways to Christ because I see him facing persecutions here and there, This is the message from God our Heavenly Father told me to tell you". And have you Repented?, The Pastor add to the conversation. Not sure, the mother said, shaking. Please you have to Repent and give your life to Christ. It takes GRACE to do the work of God our Father, so are you ready to Repent, The Pastor said. Say after me "LORD Jesus come into my life be my LORD and personal Savior" The mother repeated what the Pastor said.
The Pastor Prayed for her and she got baptized and was happy.
When Mr Chinedu came back from work, Mrs Mercy Umelo told him everything the Pastor had said. So worked together to fulfill the Promises of God.
On a Saturday morning Mr and Mrs Chinedu Prepared for the Baptism of the baby boy, when they were ready Mr Chinedu drove the car heading to the Church Cathedral for the Water Baptism. When they were all done they headed back home. God blessed the family and they lived in a happy home
Song: When Jesus is in the Family happy, happy home, happy, happy home
When Jesus is in your family happy, happy home, hap....py,happy home. God bless you.
They drove home safety and slept that night.
On The next day they Went to Church and did their Child Dedication and the Pastor Prayed for the baby and blessed him in they name of the LORD. They time came when Emmanuel became one year old and learnt house to talk. He began to go to school from Kindergarten and there he learnt his alphabet and his number. God bless you. He was not too familiar to the way of they school, any time his mother drop him at school he will start to cry. His teacher always teaches how to overcome home sickness but it didn't not work.
The year past by as Emmanuel keep on Growing. He was three when he began Primary school. He was the most Intelligent in his family and boasted with that. His parents warned him not to boasted with intelligency but he fell on deaf ears.
He often disobey his parents but God was watching him. anytime he is been warned, He becomes angry and begins to develop grudges against his parents.
On Sunday, when the class was decided into three, Children, youth and Adult. He is a Child so he had to go to the Children Church.
They topic of the Preaching was against grudges, and Emmanuel knew that he keeps grudges so he had to change his character for good but that is not the end of his bad Character hoping for him to change.
