Nigerian singer-turned-pastor, Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has announced his successful fourth surgery for skin cancer. The news, shared on his Instagram page on Thursday, highlights his ongoing battle and ultimate triumph over the disease.
Banky W revealed that he decided to share his testimony publicly to provide encouragement and hope to others facing similar challenges. “Final Score: Christ 4, Cancer Tumors 0,” he wrote, expressing his faith and resilience.
“Sometimes, your faith in God will not prevent the storms from coming… but it will carry you through them. Faith won’t always stop you from hurting, but it will help you heal, and it will help you deal,” he continued. His message underscored the power of faith in overcoming life’s obstacles and finding strength in difficult times.
Banky W’s heartfelt post also acknowledged the crucial support system that helped him through his ordeal. He expressed deep gratitude to his wife, family, friends, pastors, and doctors for their unwavering love, prayers, and support. “We have the victory yet again. Now and forever, in Jesus’ name,” he affirmed.
Reflecting on his journey, Banky W emphasized the biblical assurance of divine protection and victory. “God never said the weapons wouldn’t form; He promised that they wouldn’t prosper. He never said the enemy wouldn’t come… He promised that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God would raise a standard against him,” he wrote.
This is not the first time Banky W has faced and overcome cancer. In 2017, he underwent his third surgery to treat a rare strain of skin cancer that had resurfaced after first appearing a decade earlier.
