The Greatest Life Changing Testimony Gave Us a Child After 14 Years of Marriage

By Gideon Cebekhulu

The main purpose of this book is to share the story of how God blessed us with a child after fourteen years of marriage. It will also try and share with the reader the journey and experiences that we had to go through in terms of traditional healing, medical doctors, as well as the prophetic work of God the Holy Spirit.
The book is not intended to claim that only one part of the healing process was good, but it is also recognizing the fact that it is God who gives us his mercy and grace, and therefore, our journey together with healing process becomes different.
In fact, the book will emphasize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for getting a child should you have similar challenge like we had.
The importance of changing ones position both spiritually and physically will be mentioned quite a lot in this book so that we can discuss why God created us in his image and after his likeness. This will help to discover our purpose in life.

My Physical Birth

My name is John Billy Cebekhulu and I landed in this world on the 27th July 1966 in a farm at Estcourt in KwaZulu Natal South Africa. The Bible says In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God. Through God, all things were made." Same thing happened to me but not only to me but to all the people in this world. My parents have since passed on and their names were- Father: Raphael Cebekhulu and my Mother was Jerusalem Girly Cebekhulu. I have 6 siblings and their names are- from elder to last born- Thembi Mbhele, Myself, Sthembile Ntombifuthi Chemane, Nondumiso Busi Khumalo, Solomon Themba Cebekhulu and Nokusa Lindi Ndlamlenze. One sibling passed on while he was very young.

Physically we don’t plan our lives and choose the parents that we want but because of today’s technology I believe there are more and more interventions that can be done prior to the delivery of a child. I did not hear of any latest technology intervention or a word of prophecy received by my parents and therefore I believe my landing to this realm was only planned by God like everyone else. If this was in our control, I’m sure most if not all will choose beautiful, educated, wealthy parents who stay in an upmarket residential areas and drive good cars of our dreams etc. The big question though will be, who then will clean roads, remove our litter, look after our kids, work in the construction companies as labourers to build superb houses that we live in today. When we go on that holiday or going out for a party or dinner, who then will look after our houses, kids and clean them up etc. In whatever we do, we must thank God for our parents and thank them as well for looking after us while they are still alive. This then confirms that it’s all in God’s plan. God allows things to happen because He knows that through His mercy and grace, He can change our lives within a split of a second. In other words – it is God experiencing himself in different positions. God is able to give the man on the street Lotto numbers to change his life around to experience himself. If I happen to look down upon him, I will have difficult in accepting that he has changed and therefore I might ended sending him bad thoughts. If we choose not to listen to God’s laws, he can also hand us over to the sin and this will resurrect the word of God that says I am doing things that I know that not good and the things that are good, I am unable to do them anymore because of sin. When these words are fulfilled, then Death becomes our shepherd who leads us to our grave. The results of this is walk death alive before your actual physical death. When we are being looked after by death, you find that somebody wishes to die but death just runs away or just refuse because he is not yet done with you. Then, the big question will be WHO is death?. We can have many discussions around this topic but what I think is that – death is a spirit that takes you over when you come out of your position in God and you refuse to switch positions after numerous attempts by God. The laws were first written on the stone, walls etc but God saw that we will have an excuse to say – I did not see it. And therefore he decided to engrave them on two tablets within us – Gideon (Male + Female created he them)

This book is then intended to share with you how God changed my life around without me knowing His plan. In God’s eyes people are all equal because according to His word, He created us in His image and after His likeness and blessed us all the same way. The big question will be: why then are we so different in terms of luck, education, jobs, material things etc?. I don’t know the answer but I think for the purpose of keeping the image of God, we need to look at ourselves as the spirit living in the body that manifest itself in different shapes, colours and forms depending on the level of our consciousness, mastering of principles, fruits of the spirit, God’s mercy and grace etc. There is not even one person who is less important to God because he has his own secret master plan about each one of us. I don’t know about you but I think it is most important for me to discover who am I - both physically and spiritually and what is God’s purpose about my life and pursue it with all my efforts. I can choose to ignore God’s word that says my people die because of the lack of knowledge and do nothing to seek that knowledge – I can also choose to search for it so that I will not perish but live happily ever after knowing God’s purpose about my life.

When we were growing up in the farm as kids, I had a few wishes because of seeing the farm owner and his family that they were living a good life. Some of those dreams were: having a big piece land and keep my cattle there and to plough and be happy. You find that in life, what we wish for is something that we have seen from people around us and yet everything we like is wrapped within us hence some of them look like us when they manifest. People will say Eish! This car is just like you because it took after you. Some of the things are kept in the prison within us and don’t manifest because the song we are singing does not open the gates for them or God feels that if we receive them, we will either be in danger or it will take us further away from him

We had a school not very far from the farm, but it wasn’t something that was highly talked about because we did not have anybody who was educated that we were looking up to. To make things even worse, my father never attended school but he made sure that we go to school daily clothed properly with school clothes. He would wake up early in the morning to make fire and prepare nice warm water for us. Things started to change a bit when we had a teacher renting a room at home. Not only our family but neighbours as well started to get serious about school now that we had a teacher in our midst.

When I look back, I could easily see that God has always been present in our lives. I remember the days when my older sister Thembi and I used to be stopped by this guy every day on our way to school. He used to take our pocket money and threatened to hit us all the time he sees us. He used to hide between bushes and we knew that whenever we approached that place, we must tighten our shoes and be ready to run for our lives. Again this one day he just showed up from the bush and grabbed me by my school shirt. My sister stood close by looking ready to fight but we were still young and obviously scared of him. He put his hand in his pocket and the hand came out with a knife. I was so terrified but I stood there because I was afraid and not sure what is going to happen next. He couldn’t open the knife with one hand because the other hand still held on to my shirt. He then put the knife in his mouth to open it with his teeth. I tell you, I don’t know how it happened but I quickly grabbed the knife and started chasing him for few steps. He ran for his life and we carried on with our journey to school and we never saw him again. We never discussed it further with my sister but now I can see that God immediately resurrected a warrior within us to face this challenge / a mountain and I am sure this has happened to a lots of kids as we all grow up in almost similar environments.

My life started like any other kids growing in a farm at Estcourt without realizing that over and above my parents, I have another person who has a vested interest in my life and that is God. This simple means that God had a master plan about my life of which my parents were not aware of and this is normal to all of us. When God gave me as a child over to my parents, He saw that they will be capable of looking after me until I fulfil His secret master plan that God and myself agreed upon before the foundations. My parents were not prophets and like any normal parent, they gave me names that they thought were good for me. You find that sometimes parents gives us names from a particular event or a name with some meaning that will remind them of something etc. I always knew that my parents feared God and they wouldn’t do anything wrong to harm another person. Therefore we all lived a normal life working and staying in a farm as a family.

Growing up in a farm, I discovered that I was named John after the son of the farm owner Mr Stuart. I was very happy with my name because it corresponds with a white guy John Stuart and I tried to befriend him but it didn’t work because John was also very shy as well. I suppose I am few months or few years younger than him and I was happy to hear that he is still alive.

I also discovered that my father never went to school because my grandfather passed on and my father had to work in a farm in order to keep the family staying in a farm. Otherwise if my father didn’t start working there, my family would have been asked to leave the farm.

In those early days I used to visit the house of the farm owner Mr Stuart where my father used to work and I would see how well John and his sister Jane were taken care of. I mean, here I am talking about the types of clothes they wore, their bedrooms, bicycles etc. These were things that I wouldn’t even have dreamt of having or even think about owning the same set up for my children. I saw it as literally impossible to achieve. During weekends and school holidays, I used to help looking after the cattle during the day and I would bring them for milking in the afternoon. During school holiday I would spend a week there looking after the cattle and my pay used to be a bag of oranges and I was very excited about it.

This carried on for a few years until my father had a misunderstanding with the farm owner Mr Stuart. It was in the afternoon when all staff were back from their farm activities in the fields when my Father and Mr Stuart had an altercation. I don’t know what happened but Mr Stuart punched my father on the face with his right hand and my father fell on the ground and immediately all the staff jumped and took my Father away. That was the beginning of the end of us staying in the farm after spending many years living there. Within a short period, we had to vacate the farm and my father had to look for an alternative place for us to stay.

My father was a foreman there for many years and obvious he had established himself and unfortunately he had to leave most of his things there. Our family life had to change because my father started working for Mr Stuart from a young age and therefore he had never worked anywhere
