WHAT A LADY WITH A WITCHCRAFT SPIRIT TOLD ME THAT MADE ME CRY 😭 😭
I started seeking God very early in my life, I was put on mandatory fastings and prayers on several occasions in my house(lol). I grew up as a church boy and had no option but to go to church and participate in religious activities.
Once a year my church do observe 3 days of fasting and prayer, mainly for the youth but I started attending as a teenager, my mum will ask me to fast 6 - 12 and promise to give me a special meal by 12 and she will do as she promised after the meal she will send me back to church, this continue until i was able to do 3days straight.
I was like a handbag to my mum, if she was going to prayer band meetings she always took me along and made sure I was awake through out the vigil.
When I grew up with all this experience, I knew a lot of things about prayers and their benefits, in fact I knew a lot of scriptures, because I read and memorised scriptures but my aim was to argue with Jehovah's Witnesses, I wanted to prove them wrong by all means and this led me to study more.
I continued with this lifestyle of argument until a time came in my life when I started having insight into spiritual things, these insights shifted me spiritually and I become serious but I was not consistent.
THE WORD THAT MADE ME CRY AND I TOOK A VOW THAT I WILL ALWAYS PRAY!
I was living in a compound with a lot of tenants, we were all happily living together, until one day a young lady who came for a visit said something very early in the morning. Quick fact, in that compound I was the one everybody was looking up to as the most spiritual brother despite my inconsistent prayer life; very pathetic!
(You don't understand; By this time i have become prayer band leader in my church assembly, Sunday school teacher. Just to mention a few about my position in my local assembly; What a shame!).
( _Back to what the lady said_) She said that "everybody in this compound is a woman, you are all weak, anytime I am leaving for meeting at night, I and my friends visit each room play and do some kind things in each room and you all will just be snoring." I was embarrassed by what she said, with all my pride and arrogant I said "never not my room," she laughed and said, "it's only where you are sleeping that is very hot, we can not go near your bed, in other words, we can not touch you but the rest part of your room is ours at night."
I was more embarrassed than I was before and I went into my room and cried vehemently, I went into series of stretch fasting and most times, I will ask a friend of mine who happens to be my neighbour to lock me inside my room. From that day my night watch began, I took night prayers seriously. I really want to take charge of my room, what a shame, i have been asking for nation and territories but i was unable to take charge of my small room how then can i take charge of territories and nations? So i took prayer seriously.
One day, the lady came to my room and said please I need deliverance, she told me a lot of things I can not share. The rest is history; I was not even praying about her, i only focused on my growth, God asked us to dominate why will i become less of His word?
When she said we are all women and the rest, I did not fight her or start being afraid of her. I know if it is you, you will start shouting at the top of your voice to pray every witch in this compound die but I never did that, I took time to start building myself because I know I am the one at fault and God wanted me to know that I am just enjoying grace, I did not have any spiritual stand.
Listen! After that incident, God gave me influence over my whole hostel to an extent during our morning devotions in the hostel, people from another compound will come and join us for prayers. The entire hostel was under my control spiritually.
Lessons #
-->Don't blame others when things go wrong, always take responsibility for your life, go for a retreat.
--> Always see opportunity in everything that comes your way and use an unpleasant statement or situation as a means to turn things around for your life.
---> Don't be quick to fight people, fight yourself instead and build capacity, let your fight be in the spirit.
--> Do not claim what you can not handle or pay the price for: The reason i was embarrassed was because i have been claiming nations and territories for God, but i was unable to conquer or take charge of my small room how then will i take charge of nations and territories? God will never give that to me not until i am ready to pay the price.
