50 year-old woman delivers twins after 14 years of childlessness

Mrs Roseline Akinsola, 50, on Monday delivered a set
of twins after 14 years of childlessness. The News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Akinsola, who
works at the Ekiti State Christian Pilgrims Board, was
full of praises to God for answering her prayers.
The mother of two girls, who weighed 4.2kg and 2.3kg,
advised other couples in need of children not to lose
hope. In an interview with NAN, she expressed
gratitude to God for giving her the children after
several years.
“I thank God for the new name he has given to me;
before, I was being called Iya Iyanu’’ without a
child, but today, my name has changed to “Mummy
Twins.’’ Many of my colleagues, friends and
neighbours mocked and sidelined me, but because I
stood firm on the words of God, He answered my
prayers. I thank my husband, who inspite of the
troubles and problems from family members,
friends, colleagues and neighbours still believe in
me and God.
He stood by me like a father in all ways and also
believed in God all through the crisis. I also thank
my siblings who stood by me in prayers for years.
Let me thank God for all those who stood by me in
prayers and encouraged me not to desist from
serving God. These children are indeed signs that
God never forgets his own people who diligently
seek him and believe in his words, ” she said.
The father of the twins, Babatunde,49, also expressed
gratitude to God for the children.
“We fast, pray and cry unto God for the fruits of the
womb for years, but I am happy that today, God has
finally fulfilled his promise to my family. I thank
members of our church under the callings of Pastor
and Mrs David Ajileye for their prayers and care for
my family,’’ the happy father, who is also a civil
servant, said.
Ajileye, who is the General Overseer of the Way of
Life Bible Church, Ado-Ekiti, thanked God for his
blessings in the lives of the couple.
“We have known the couple for over 15 years and
they have been steadfast and faithful in serving God
inspite of the challenges they were facing. For years,
I and my wife have been praying to God to give the
couple the fruit of the womb; I am so happy that the
lord has answered their prayers. The church
witnessed a similar miracle in 2013 when a couple,
members of our church delivered a set of twins, a
boy and a girl after 31 years of childlessness,’’ he
said.
He advised the couple to teach and train the children
in the ways of the lord. NAN reports that the mother
and the twins were in good health as at press time.
