There was a season of my life when I felt or assumed Jesus didn't bother with counseling people
From all the accounts I have read in the scriptures, i didn't see Jesus sitting down listening to sob stories, all he did was "speak a word" and problems were solved.
I was young and

naive at the time
I will meet with people, hold their hands or look at them and tell them what the Holy Spirit says to me.
It worked
It kept complaints out of my ears and i was able to attend to more people
It is a fact that some people can gripe and cry and tell you sob stories

from morning till night!
Sometimes while listening to them, you get carried away and start to cry with them
It doesn't solve their problem and it reduces you to a sympathizer
The worst time is when you just had a church programme or a vigil
You have prayed and they have prayed

And yet after service, they will still come to you with the same problem they have prayed about speaking as if the service you had and all the prayer they prayed had not changed things in their favour
Sometimes you had to remind them that they had prayed and should walk in the

reality of the time spent dealing with the issues before God
I do not take people's challenges lightly
Many believers had not learned how to walk or live by faith
Everything is according to senses and their words and understanding reflects this
It is therefore frustrating for any

minister of the gospel to pray and fast and lead services only for those who attend the service to start talking as if he had just wasted his time and their problems were bigger, stronger, and greater than the ministration.
So one day after service, a young man walked up to me,

he wasn't wearing his wedding ring and he really didn't look married
He said he wanted to see me
I said "Okay"
As soon as he opened his mouth, I said "You're not the only one sleeping with her"
That was what I heard (In part) I didn't wait for the words to flesh out (Those days I

was always scared of forgetting what the Holy Spirit said or assuming it was my thoughts, so as soon as he speaks to me, I blurt it out! Sometimes in the course of praying, the instruction fleshes out and makes a complete whole, sometimes while praying the vision becomes clearer

but all I said was what the young man heard, his mouth hung open and he said Thank you, then he left.)
Two months later, a lady came to my office
She was the young man's wife
She said she and her uncle had a relationship she had tried everything possible to get out of but she

couldn't
She said she was sure the man was using something fetish on her because often times she would only come back to her senses after having sex with him
She was a lawyer and her husband was an architect
She convinced him that they must relocate to Canada and they started the

process
She said she saved hard towards the travelling and was committed to all the tests
She said all she wanted was to put a huge distance between herself and her uncle
She had been sleeping with him since he made it a condition before helping her with her tuition when she was

17 and it continued until she graduated
She said she had assumed it would stop after she got married but it didn't
She had fasted and prayed and gone for deliverance several times
She was attending one of the deliverance centred ministries and had even sown seed to be free of the

soul tie or voodoo manipulation to no avail
According to her, three days after she and her husband returned from their honeymoon, she discovered herself in her Uncle's office doing it with him again.
She said her uncle told her, "You must balance it. You must take care of me too"

She said she never told her husband the truth about the relationship she had with her uncle
She knew it would break him
Her only hope of freedom was the escape to Canada.
But then they got the visa and traveled and her escape turned to hell!
As soon as they got to Canada, her

husband called a cousin of his who came to pick them at the airport but when the cousin arrived, her husband stopped her from getting into the car.
He took only his luggage, got into the car, and drove off with his cousin
She said it was obvious that he had discussed his plans

with his family members and friend and only pretended they were still together before they travelled
She said after she found a hotel to lodge in, she started making calls to find out what was going on
Eventually, her husband picked her call and said "Go and be with the other guy

you are sleeping with. This marriage is over"
She said she didn't know how he knew
Nobody under heaven knew she was sleeping with her uncle
She never met with him in a hotel
It was always at his office and sometimes (before she got married) when they travel abroad together

Her uncle was as discreet as she was because he had a family and children who were her agemates
She knew her husband was just making things up or being lied to
He couldn't be referring to her relationship with her uncle
so she denied it
She called his parents and told then he

cooked it all up
Eventually, her husband told her where he got the information
She tried to dissuade him that "prophets" lie all the time and all but he refused to take her back
She had not resigned her job and didn't see any point in staying back in Canada when the marriage was

over
After a month, she returned home to pick up the pieces of her life
Then one of her husband's friends told her who her husband met with that scattered her home
She said she wanted to let it go but a question had been on her mind that she wanted an answer to
How come God was

quick to destroy her marriage but folded his arms while she prayed to be free of her uncle?
How come God didn't tell her husband the full story?
How come God made it seem like she was deliberately committing adultery? Couldn't God see that she was a victim of circumstances?

Her story moved me to tears
it is not good to walk with the Holy Spirit with a preconceived mindset
We should let him live through us
He is thorough and proper in all His conduct
If only i had made proper use of the mind of Christ?
I would have seen the whole picture and my words

and judgment would have been what the Holy Spirit had in mind.
I apologised to her
I told her we will make amends
I prayed with her
I led her to Christ and got her filled with the Holy Spirit
Then i showed her from the book of numbers why anyone in Christ cannot be afflicted or

or attacked spiritually (Using the story of Balaam)
I instructed her on how to read the scripture, pray in the spirit and be in fellowship
We prayed two specific prayers
Within two weeks, both were answered
The uncle got what he deserved (He didn't die) but he wouldn't be able to

take advantage of another person again in this lifetime
I called her husband and humbly explained myself
Her husband considered the chain of events and the calamity that befell the uncle
He understood that his wife was in a miry clay
He forgave her and took her back!
Hallelujah

On October 1, 2020
I will be teaching during the Homo Christus Conference: The Theme is Supernatural Advantage
Other ministers of the gospel will be there
Somebody paid for 100 copies of Lambano to shared to the first 100 people (Not PSSBC students) to arrive at the conference

We will learn to walk in this Light
We will learn to master the things of the spirit
We will learn how to be consistent
We will walk the path that shines brighter and brighter in Christ
This is not someone looking for church members to poach
Let's learn Christ together and grow
