Our manifesto: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in
God has never ever let his people down, never. Repeat after me, never!
The will of God has manifested itself many times that no one can even contest or doubt the outcomes of his works.
This was put into perspective recently after a man who had been told he will never walk again, did the same in a move that impressed a multitude.
Well, In 2013, doctors broke the saddest ever news to one Tyler Wesley when they told him that he only had 1 per cent chance of ever walking again.
Given such news, anyone would give up because doctors have the say, at least most of the times.
However, Tyler never gave up and hoped for the best in future as he kept the hope alive for about nine years.
We learnt Tyler was able to walk again nine years after doctors declared he could never enjoy the ''privilege'' again.
To celebrate his new feat, Tyler took to social media to share with the world how he managed to walk again even after doctors said he could not do so.
Taking to Twitter and Instagram, Tyler shared videos of himself standing from his wheelchair and making some very impressive steps as he tried to walk.
Tyler noted that he had successfully beat a quadriplegic situation even after doctors' judgment.
''Nine years in the making today! I was given a 1% chance to ever walk again. Becoming a quadriplegic. The biggest thing I’ve learned these past years is patience and embracing. I will continue to never give up and grow even stronger physically and mentally. Thank you to everyone who shows ongoing support and love. My enduring journey and endless grind to recovery still continue. ,'' Tyler captioned an Instagram video of himself walking effortlessly.
On Twitter, he shared the same video but with the caption;
''Nine years ago today, I was given a 1% chance to ever walk again... ♂️''
His social media posts touched the hearts of many people who came out to support him by encouraging him and giving him hope for the best even as he makes the unbelieveable steps.
Many people who commented on his post noted he was an inspiration to many people who were initially in his shoes.
