THE MIRACLE CHILD-Pastor Travis Greeene.
I have longed to write about Pst. Travis Greene from the very first time in 2016 I heard him live in The Experience 2016 at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.
Frankly my experience in that experience was a mixed one. I was deeply hurt to see the multitudes there hugging their girlfriends, "smooshing" and yes smoking! Conceded it was just isolated cases but the crowd I saw there wasn't any more reverent than ones one may see in a nightclub! It was my first Experience and I'm yet to attend another.
But I was fascinated not just by the talent and anointing on minstrel Travis Greene but also his testimony. Here is why.
Travis Greene was declared a still birth on the 17th of January 1984 when he was born. The doctor couldn't detect any life in the little form so he he was passed off as dead and I believe him to be. But he had godly parents who believed in miracles. Instead of his mum and dad to bow their heads and start bawling "bahoooo! Oh why Lord!", they began to pray fervently calling life into the little form! The One who claims to be "The Resurrection and the Life" showed up and just as He claimed, though that baby was dead, it lived again! He was named Travis and rightly so for just as his name suggests, he'd traversed heaven and was made to come back at the call of Faith!
But Satan is not easily defeated or outdone! Just four years later Travis's dad died in 1989. That was a big tragedy that apparently shook the 5 year old. But his mother had to face another tragedy about that time or shortly before. Travis was in Germany with his mum when he accidentally fell off a four-storey building and like Eutychus in Bible was taken up dead! Unlike in Biblical times though, a doctor did certify the boy dead but his mother who too was a minister felt if God revived Eutychus, He is obliged to do same for Travis. In grief but stubborn faith, she screamed "Jesus!" She screamed that precious name thrice and just as it was for Eutychus, there was no apparent result. But Travis's mum wouldn't quit just yet! The fourth time she screamed "The blood of Jesus!" and the four year old revived!
Later he told his mother he didn't recollect hitting the floor. He said He only remembered falling off. He'd been playing dangerously around the window! I heard him tell that when he fell off, his mum had screamed "Jesus! Save my baby!" And I recollect him saying he fell into the hands of a Man before he could hit the floor! Although he couldn't see this mysterious Man's face, I am sure that was no other but our dear Man of Galilee. Amen! This Man said to Travis, "You can go with Me or you can go with your mum" Travis replied "I want to go with my mum.!" The Man didn't argue. He just sweetly replied "You can go back to your mum but next time you're coming with Me" Travis asked this sweet Rescuer "Sir, what's Your name?" His reply sends chill through the spine. The Man responded "My name is Jesus!"
Everyone was nonplussed how the boy fell through that distance without breaking a bone but the little boy pipped up "There is a Man that caught me up in His arm before I hit the floor. I asked Him His name and He said He is Jesus!"
I pray for you today. You will not hit the floor! This living Jesus who is Christ will bear you up in His lovely arms!"
Next time you hear Travis sing, "If I had 10,000 tongues it still won't be enough....Nara-ekelemoo" You'd better believed it! You will be upheld to shake your world too like he does. Jesus is alive!
COPIED!
