Her husband had a strange feeling.

He woke up and told his wife.

"Babe, this makeover job at Ikorodu makes me uncomfortable. Can you please send someone else?"

"Haba!" She responded.

"This person is my friend and I promised her. Just imagine if I disappoint" She said.

"You can send someone else" He insisted but she was having none of it. She went to the bathroom, came out and saw him praying in the Spirit.

She ignored him.

His prayer intensified and a catchphrase of words kept being repeating as he "skabashed".

"The Lord is my Light... He that dwell in the secret place of the Most High... The Lord shall bless our going out and coming in".

She ignored and dressed up.

As she was stepping out of the room with her box, he pulled her close, laid hands on her and prayed in tongues.

He spoke some words over her which she barely paid attention to, gave her a hug and she stepped out.

It was quite a distance from the Ayobo axis to Ikorodu hence timing was key.

Below are her words:

"Bros, I don enter bus from Oshodi Wey de go Ikorodu Garage.

"The bus stopped at every point to pick passengers but it was when we got to Majidun that a man entered and sat beside me. He kept trying to get my attention but I ignored him since he was speaking Yoruba".

We were approaching the garage hence the bus was scanty yet the man...

Persisted in talking to me. We had gotten to the garage when all of a sudden he said some words, tapped me on the shoulder and said "Tele mi", which means "Follow me".

It felt like I lost control of my body and I came down from the bus to follow him.

I can't explain it

However, it felt like a force kept me in a place. My legs were heavy and I couldn't move.

The man stood and was beckoning to me still saying some incantations.

People noticed and gathered and asked me what was wrong but to my surprise...

I realised I couldn't talk!

I just kept pointing but when people looked at the direction I was pointing to, they couldn't pick who I was pointing at.

I pulled out my phone to call my husband but I couldn't speak so a lady took it and explained to him.

My husband told the woman to put the phone in my ears and he said "In the name of Jesus, I break that enchantment and declare your body fit for use".

Immediately, I noticed my tongue could move and I spoke some words and began speaking rapidly.

Make-up, I no do again.
Wedding, I no go again.

Since that day, I have learnt to listen and obey even when I don't understand.

Let me state here that her husband wasn't a Pastor but a regular brother who understood supernatural realities.

I wrote a tweet on Husbands laying hands on the head of their wives and praying for them and not the other way round.

A young lady came for the tweet and because she lacked understanding of the tweet said a whole lot. I still insist, there is a spiritual authority a husband...

... has over his wife.

Many people don't know what their wives go through daily and why a spiritual cover is important.

Wives can give you first hand examples of the emotional turmoil they go through on a daily basis. Is it childbearing? Is it nurturing? Menopause?

Fear of rape? Domestic violence?

The mere fact that she's a woman is even a challenge talk less of a wife.

Husbands, we need to do better. The man of God must be completely equipped and that means in all things. You don't actually think that money is everything?

Sometimes, a hug and I love you is all they need to smile (with lots of gifts and quality time and also batman errands...lol).

Husbands, be the head and cover your wives. Let your children see the legacies you are leaving them with especially on how you treat your wife.

Remember, the children will one day leave and all you have is just that wife.

Apostle Paul said in 1 Cor 13:11 "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me".

It is time for husbands to stop acting like boys. Throwing tantrums at God when things don't go your way. Ending up in a beer parlour whilst your wife ends up in the church praying and beseeching God.

It is time to stop acting like a child and put away childhood.
