Featured Interview With Author Sunday Nwachukwu
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
Sunday Nwachukwu is a Nigerian author possessed with an overmastering love for God, His word, and for men as well. I was privileged to be saved very early in life, however, I never knew what it really meant to be saved and born again – just a casual churchgoer. Not until at age 17 when I mysteriously fell sick and couldn’t stand on my two feet much less walking: just bedridden. I was taken to different hospitals for diagnosis and possible treatment, nevertheless, I was never diagnosed of anything, nor did I get any better with their treatments.
Consequently, we resorted to prayer houses. However, for all our itinerancy from one prayer house to another, I was never healed. My mum and I were really disappointed and frustrated about the whole situation. The God whom we believed was our last hope, we thought had failed us. Therefore, at the suggestion of many, we took to traditional medication. Yet, for all their efforts I wasn't any better nor cured. I was brought home and dumped counting down to the day I would die, as all hopes were lost.
However, right there on the sick bed it dawned on me that there is really no help anywhere but in Gods. There and then, I began to build a personal relationship with God. Aftermath to this, rather than dying off in a matter of days as was expected, I rather began to do the things I coudn't do. I began to stand up, and taking few steps. My speech became audible and distinct.
One Saturday evening, I told my mother, tomorrow, I'm going to church with you. Therefore, on Sunday, my mother took me to church. Everyone was startled at seeing me. When it was time for testimony, I startled everyone the more: I raised up my hands among those who had testimonies and was given the microphone to testify. I was allowed to testify sitting down where I was. I said, “I wanted to thank God because everything he had said in His word was nothing but true; and that as He says them, that’s how He was doing it for me.” It wasn’t really what I said that startled everyone; it was the firmness of my voice as I said it. Most of them had visited me and knew that I spoke but gutturally and indistinctly. But now I clang like a cymbal.
After the service of that day, I went home and couldn’t sit down again much less standing up for the next three days. My waist and backbones were all out of joint and very painful: I had sat for longer than I was used to in the church. However, I still persisted and went again the next Sunday, and continually. By simply meditating and acting on the word of God, I kept on crawling out of my ugly shell by the day. That was how I fell in love with God and His word. I became a word addict.
Having lived through dying places by dependence on the word of God, I am the most enthusiastic person on earth to make an expose of the endless treasures in the word of God. Because I believe that, the supposed impossibilities in men’s life are but sonorous gongs of attestation to the depth of their ignorance of God. And, Fortunate enough, one of my favorite means of communication is writing. I finished my first book as far back as 2019, October 15, to be precise. At that time, I wasn’t even thinking about publishing. I just continued writing other ones.
When I eventually started seeking to publish, it was daunting. In fact, I didn’t find my way, as I didn’t have the money required by traditional publishers. I tried approaching gospel ministers, whom I knew have a publishing press for help. However, I was never even opportune to see any of them much less having their help. Nonetheless, I persisted to search. Eventually I stumbled over amazon kdp. Now I have published my first books titled THE NEW CREATION: Recreated & Fitted to Fulfill Purpose. The second one titled, THE FAITH WAY, is on the way. It will be out in a matter of weeks. Moreover, I still have nine other books to publish. And I’m still writing more. Just done with ASCENSION, now working on ULTIMATUM, a Christian nonfiction.
All my works fall between Christian nonfictions and fictions. Therefore, I will encourage all lovers of these genres to stay hooked for the best.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
As a young boy, I had always loved writing, however, it remained a dream until 2019, 15 October to be precise, when I finished my first Published book. Before I eventually wrote my first published book, THE NEW CREATION: Recreated And Fitted To Fulfill Purpose in 2019, I had written other books as a young boy while I was in the sick bed. However none of them did I complete. Out of my passion for writing, I was trying to mimic the authors I had read and enjoyed their writing. Therefore, times and again I was bored out. But when I became original and followed my instincts, then, the drive came. Of all the eleven books I have written so far, I haven't been hesitant when I wrote them let alone abandoning them.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I love reading Spiritual books (particularly Christian non-fictions). besides, i also enjoy christian fictions, self helps and biographies/autobiographies. i also read a bit of history.
As for my favorite authors, I love reading authors like Kenneth E Hagin, E W Kenyon, John Mason, Benny Hinn, Chris Oyakhilome
Tell us a little about your latest book?
My latest book is titled, "ASCENSION."
I came across some people who believed that They were so down that there is no way they can rise. Then as i was meditating, the Spirit of God opened the eyes of my heart to see that The Lord Jesus Christ Was dead, and buried – what could be described as the bottom of nadir – yet God was able to take Him to the apex of all heights through a means called "ASCENSION." That's to got inspired to share to the world a way to the upper-most even when they are down-most.
