Nigerian musician cum actress Chidinma Ekile known in showbiz as Chidinma has disclosed that she is a covenant child due to how God miraculously restored her sight when she was a child.
Chidinma, narrating a story about her life and how she developed an interest in music said when she was born, she couldn’t open her eyes, which implies that she was born blind.
She said, her parents tried every means to get her to heal but to no avail.
She continued to say that the mother, who is a powerful Christian used to pray for her with the expectation that God can heal her.
“We had to resort to God, here is my mum, being a prayer warrior; she just started praying all of a sudden and started fasting from nowhere. My parents were never used to these things but had to because of the situation. And eventually, I started to see.”
Chidinma said that her mother had informed her that during those trying times, she made a deal with God. “She had promised to give me back to God if God could help her solve that problem.”
This, she believes, played a role in why she was ‘unable to reach her full capacity’ as a singer without the God factor in her life.
“Everything that I have tried to do outside of God never really works because of that covenant. Obviously, I am a covenant child and may not have been able to function optimally to my fullest potential outside of God. I feel like God is my source and there is no way I will be able to do anything outside of him, he has to be in the equation,” Chidinma noted.
