time, took to his Instagram page yesterday to share the good news. In

scars, thanking God for his mercies.
According to him, he had treating a
rare form of skin cancer which resurfaced again after they first
appeared over 10 years ago. He said the past few weeks of recovery

feet, feeling stronger and ready to get back to life.”
“A wise man once said this: “Scars.
A sign that you had been hurt. A sign that you had been healed.”
Scroll through the pictures to see mine.”
“I’m sharing these because they’re
proof of what God has brought me through. And because somewhere out
there, I know there’s someone who needs to hear this.
For those who’ve been wondering why
I’ve been away so long..I had my 3rd surgery on a rare strain of
skin cancer tumours in my shoulder last month. The first 2 times were
over 10 yrs ago, then it recently resurfaced. But this isn’t a sad
story as much as it is a reminder and a testimony.”
“A reminder that you should never
take life for granted. You only get 1 shot. Some people went to sleep
and never woke up. Many others have lost the battle to cancer and
other illnesses. Many are still fighting. U never know when your time
will be up so don’t waste another minute. It’s also a testimony
about the goodness of God. I think I had to go through this again to
remember how merciful God is to me; Lord knows I don’t deserve it
but He saves me time and again anyway. I keep saying I need to write
a book. I really, really do.”
“The past few weeks of recovery have
been tough, but beautiful. I’m finally back on my feet, feeling
stronger and ready to get back to life. I’m especially thankful to
my Nurse Susu for loving me and being by my side every step of the
way – I don’t deserve you, my parents and siblings, in-laws and
close friends for the love, support and prayers, my Pastors –
Pastor Tony Rapu & Pastor Del Balogun of TPH, Pastor Taiwo
Odukoya and Pastor Bayo Adeyokunnu – for constantly praying with
and for me. And of course to Dr Wodajo and Dr Miralli and their teams
– who God used to operate on me successfully.”
“I’m thankful for life, provision
and healing. Please, don’t feel bad or msg me with any worries. God
has done it, just thank Him for me.”
“The pain will eventually go away but
the scar won’t – and I’m glad because it’s a reminder to me
of what God has done, and evidence to you of what He CAN do. I’m
not stronger or better than anyone. I’m just a living testimony
that no matter what u face, U can survive & thrive, by God’s
grace,” the singer wrote on his Instagram page.
