Catholic priest and founder of Adoration Ministry, Enugu Nigeria, AMEN, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has recounted what he described as a “medical and scientific mystery” involving his eyesight.
Mbaka said doctors had informed him that the condition of both his eyes had deteriorated beyond the level of legal blindness, yet he could still see, read and move around without assistance.
The cleric disclosed this while recounting his experience at the Passion Center in a video following his return from the United States of America recently.
According to him, he underwent extensive ophthalmological and optical examinations after years of stress and sleeplessness.
He said the tests were conducted with modern medical equipment, with the results reportedly leaving the doctors surprised.
Mbaka said the doctors initially assumed that members of the Anyanwu family had brought him to the hospital because he was blind.
“But I said, ‘No, I came by myself.’ They said medically and scientifically, it is not possible for a man whose eye issue has reached the fifth or sixth level of blindness to see, talk less of coming by himself,” he quoted the doctors as saying.
The cleric said the doctors became more surprised when he opened his Bible and began reading in their presence.
“I opened the pages of the Bible and started reading it. Are you telling me that the God of Adoration doesn’t exist?” Mbaka said.
According to him, the doctors said they could not explain his ability to see unless he had somehow received new eyes.
“They said, ‘Except God has put new eyes.’ Yes, God has put new eyes,” he quoted them as saying.
Mbaka further claimed that the medical findings were sent to Dr Chiogbu Chukwu in Los Angeles, who reportedly consulted another doctor identified as Dr Scott.
He said they subsequently confirmed that both eyes were no longer medically functional.
“Chiogbu confirmed through Dr Scott that, medically, scientifically, the two eyes are gone. But I’m seeing with them.
“What then do you call miracle? I’m a beneficiary. I can now join you to give testimony.
“How, I don’t know. I won’t tell you because I prayed so well or I fasted so well. No. Only God knew what He did,” he said.
However, Mbaka cautioned his followers against abandoning orthodox medicine while seeking spiritual intervention.
“I will always ask you if you are sick. Don’t neglect the medical advice. Do not rely only on prayers. God created those people that are doctors.
“I believe in medical healing, even as I approve spiritual healing. However God does it, let Him be glorified,” Fr Mbaka said.
