"I can see that you and my daughter had been together for months
I will like to ask you why she is not pregnant yet!
He was 26 years old and had no plans of impregnating a woman outside of wedlock. He told her mother as much
Her mother laughed
"My daughter is special!
She must be pregnant before she can be married to any man!
That was the prophecy that came with her at birth!
Didn't she tell you?
If you really want to marry her
Do the needful!
His father, a nominal Christian didn't see anything wrong with it
His mother was worried!
"Must you marry this girl? A girl with a prophecy that insists she must be pregnant under her parent's roof before she got married?
Must it be?
His father supported him
His mother fell in line
He did the needful
She got pregnant!
As soon as she started showing, they had a court wedding
He was married!
She was a very good woman
Cheerful throughout the pregnancy, loving and very understanding
He was very lucky
She told him to promise he would never cheat on her and would remain content to be married to her all the days of his life!
He assured her of his love
Delivery time came, he took her to the hospital
She laboured for three days
The doctors were clueless
They wanted to do CS
As soon as they wheeled her to the theatre a sudden ominous cloud hovered!
The doctors and nurses started itching all over
She was a strange one!
The doctors told him to take her away
He called her mother
Her mother arrived in a jiffy!
"She was a very special child
She had a covenant with her spiritual playmates to die during childbirth"
Her mother was nodding as the man spoke
He just watched the scene unfolded, gobsmacked
He had married a possessed girl
He had been duped!
He was told to get candles and some spiritual work materials to appease his wife's spiritual playmates
By the time he returned from the market
His wife was dead!
The babies (Twins) in her womb were also dead
It was hellish!
Life took a whole new dimension
He had actually wooed, slept with, impregnated, married and buried a possessed woman!
Nobody could tell him witches were a myth
He had married an ogbanje! He had no clue!
He took his time to heal and decided to try again at 30
They talked about the possibilities of a relationship
He really like her
Two days later, the lady broke up with him!
He didn't get it!
They hadn't even started dating yet
He tried again with several ladies
He got the same result
The ladies ran!
He wanted a family
He started dating a lady
He invited her over
One thing was leading to another
The lady suddenly screamed in pain!
There was a bite mark on her arm!
He saw it manifest out of nowhere
The next morning, the lady picked her bag and ran
He knew the problem was with him
He went to his parents
His mother took him to many places
They told him he was still married
"You promised your late wife you will love her all the days of your life"
He was an ordinary guy with a normal life
Was it not enough that he married a wraith and carried the stigma of losing his wife so early?
Should his reality be dictated by darkness?
Pastors stylishly discharged him
He went to many places
No help!
He was lonely and just wanted to die
He was scrolling through his phone when he saw a friend's WhatsApp status
A story on gbengawemimo.com titled The Arsonist
While it didn't exactly mirror his case, he saw similarities!
He reached out to the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt on WhatsApp!
He was desperate!
They chatted!
Oddly, the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt didn't tell him any prophesy"
They just prayed!
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt led him to Christ
He had been attending garment churches
He didn't even know it was necessary to give his life to Christ
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt laid hands on him
He was filled with the Holy Spirit
Wow!
He knew this to be true in his heart!
He felt something leave him when he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit!
That night, as he was about to sleep, the Holy Spirit told him
"Move"!
He rented a new apartment
He changed church
Three months later, a sister from his new church ran into him at the mall
He had no fear
They exchanged numbers
They started talking
She was 34, an engineer!
Six months later, he proposed!
She said "Yes'
His name is Kayode
Her name is Boluwafe
The wedding is taking place around Mobil Bus stop, Oluyole Estate in Ibadan!
Ps:
You don't need to light a candle, you don't need to carry sacrifices or do spiritual divorce!
Come to Jesus, be free!
