Sorry Emenike the hustler , courageous striker not afraid of taking on defenders. Get well soon in Jesus name. Your goal against Ivory Coast in 2013 still resonates in my mind. Don’t give up
May God show you mercy and heal you by the wounds of Jesus Christ, Amen. Get well soon bro Emenike Emmanuel!
A true legend, you are way too young and have far too much to offer Nigerian football.
I have no doubt you will be okay soon. Just be strong in this difficult period, Emenike.
Tough times don’t last, tough centre forwards do….
Just put your complete trust on Jesus. He will surely heal you.
Emmanuel Emenike, if you can read this, then continue to say the prayer below. BUT CONFESS ANY SIN TO GOD BEFORE SAYING IT.
” MAY THE MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, THE TEMPLE OF DIVINE WISDOM, TABARNACLE OF DIVINE KNOWLEDGE,AND SUNSHINE OF HEAVEN AND EARTH HEAL AND COVER ME”.
PRAY THAT PRAYER WITH FAITH AND LEAVE THE REST TO OUR SUPREME HEALER JEHOVAH RAPHA. The rest is HIS WILL AND ALWAYS THE BEST. GOD BLESS YOU.
Get well soon odogwu nwoke.
God will see you through.
