Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, founder of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), has recounted what he described as a medical mystery after doctors reportedly told him that his eyes had deteriorated to the point of blindness, despite his ability to see, read and move around unaided.
Mbaka shared the experience in a video recorded at Passion Center, where he said he underwent extensive ophthalmological and optical examinations following years of stress and sleeplessness.
According to the Catholic priest, the examinations involved a series of tests conducted with modern medical equipment, with the results reportedly leaving the doctors puzzled.
He said the medical assessment showed that both eyes had deteriorated beyond the level of legal blindness, yet he remained capable of seeing and reading without assistance.
Mbaka said the doctors initially assumed members of the Ayanwu family had brought him to the hospital as a blind person.
“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 recalled.
The cleric said the doctors became even 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.
He claimed the doctors told him that they could not explain his ability to see unless, somehow, he had received new eyes.
“They said, ‘Except God has put new eyes.’ Yes, God has put new eyes,” he said.
Mbaka further disclosed that the medical findings were sent to Dr Chiogbu Chukwu, based in Los Angeles, who reportedly sought confirmation from another doctor identified as Dr Scott.
He said the doctors confirmed that, medically and scientifically, both eyes were no longer functional.
“Chiogbu confirmed through Dr Scott that, medically, scientifically, the two eyes are gone. But I’m seeing with them,” Mbaka said.
He described the experience as a miracle, adding that he could not explain how his sight remained intact despite the reported medical findings.
“What then do you call miracle? I’m a beneficiary. I can now join you to give testimony,” he said.
“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.”
Despite attributing his experience to divine intervention, Mbaka cautioned his followers against abandoning conventional medical treatment in favour of prayers alone.
“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,” he said.
The cleric said he believes in both medical and spiritual healing, stressing that whatever means God uses to bring healing should be glorified.
Mbaka also expressed appreciation to members of the Adoration Ministry and other supporters for their prayers and solidarity, describing their collective support as a source of strength for the ministry.
“Mbaka cannot play and be a keeper. Mbaka is like a football team with wingers, defenders, keeper and midfielder,” he added.
