A journey of illness, faith, and restoration unfolds in My Covenant with Jesus Christ, as Nigerian-born, California-based psychiatrist Ochuko G. Diamreyan, MD, recounts how faith in Jesus led to healing when medicine could go no further.
Drawing from years of personal journals, Dr. Diamreyan, a board-certified psychiatrist trained in Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, and the United States, tells the story of a life shaped by hard work, migration, sacrifice, and service – and then shattered by a mysterious, life-threatening illness that baffled specialists. As his body weakened, he found himself confronting not only medical uncertainty, but also spiritual forces, family history, and the unspoken fears that even doctors rarely admit.
In the midst of this crisis, Dr. Diamreyan made a covenant with Jesus Christ: if he were healed, he would tell the world what God had done. This book is the fulfillment of that promise. With the insight of a clinician and the humility of a patient, he describes how scripture, prayer, fasting, and surrender opened a path to recovery that went far beyond prescriptions and procedures.
More than a medical story, “My Covenant with Jesus Christ” explores how culture, childhood experiences in Nigeria, encounters with traditional spirituality, and years of serving marginalized psychiatric patients all prepared him to recognize that healing is never just physical. Dr. Diamreyan weaves together scenes from overcrowded clinics, sleepless nights before board exams, airport delays that became divine appointments, and quiet moments of wrestling with unbelief to show how God patiently pursued his heart.
The book speaks to Christians seeking a deeper, more practical understanding of divine healing, as well as to readers who may not consider themselves religious but sense that science alone cannot answer every question about suffering, fear, or hope. With clear language and real-life stories, Dr. Diamreyan shows how faith and medicine can work side by side rather than in competition – and why ignoring the spiritual dimension of illness can leave people trapped in cycles of anxiety, confusion, and relapse.
“My Covenant with Jesus Christ” offers comfort to families praying for a breakthrough, encouragement to professionals struggling with burnout or self-doubt, and a challenge to anyone who has quietly wondered, “Does Jesus still heal today?” Dr. Diamreyan’s answer is yes – but healing often begins when we dare to believe, ask, and respond.
Honest, compassionate, and filled with gratitude, this testimony reminds readers that no diagnosis, generational pattern, or spiritual attack has the final word when placed in the hands of Jesus Christ. This is more than one man’s story; it is an invitation to examine your own battles, your own unbelief, and your own covenant with God.
