During a Party, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ...she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.
Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 PM Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the Party. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
Nigeria's The Cable News Site insists that Prophet TB Joshua had a stroke 2 months ago and was flown to Turkey 🇹🇷 for treatment... According to them, TB joshua returned to Nigeria, canceled his birthday celebration because he was not feeling well and have been closely monitored by doctors. On the day of his death, several reputable news sites claim that TB Joshua may have had a major stroke which took his life. While these reports remain unverified, I have reproduced the Cable's report to show that STROKE can get to any of us - high or low, spiritual or not, rich or poor.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
- S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
- T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. Chicken Soup)
- R Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
Stroke is not a spiritual attack.... Stroke is damage to the brain caused by interruption of blood supply to the brain 🧠.
A stroke is a medical emergency, not a spiritual attack. If we can share this message to everyone in Africa 🌍, we could save millions of people from stroke.
