Her teen daughter stumbled upon pornography by mistake
Her daughter had an assignment from school that required the use of the internet
Her daughter told her about the assignment and she eagerly gave her daughter her iPad
Not being too technically savvy, she was unaware that some
Browsers had sponsored pop ups advertising pornography.
According to her daughter, something popped up and practically took over the screen for a few minutes while she was solving the assignment. She clicked on it and was taken directly to a pornography site.
She knew she should
Log out but she couldn’t!
She was curious and fascinated
It was like eve and the forbidden fruit, once you touch; you must eat
From that day she couldn’t stop visiting the site
Sometimes she would sneak the iPad into her room and wait until the dead of the night to open pandora’s
Box and experience all it’s attending consequences in her body
She simply couldn’t get enough of it
Weeks after she discovered this Bermuda Triangle, she went to church with her parents
During the Sunday school the issue of pornography came up during the question & answer segment
The Sunday School teacher answered the question by giving the students a vivid description of hell fire and announcing that anyone who watch such a content will roast in the fire from eternity to eternity
The response shocked her
She had never considered the consequences of her
Actions
She had never given it a thought
When she got home that day, the words of the teacher kept ringing in her ears
She was 13 and already on her way to hell without having lived the best part of her life yet
The thought of such a severe punishment plagued her mind endlessly
She slept that night by 9pm and screamed awake by 11pm
Her mother heard her scream and rushed to her room
What is the problem?
What is the matter?
She couldn’t talk
All she did was cry
Her mother held her and assured her that everything is fine
After a while, she was able to
Sleep
When she got to school the next day she couldn’t concentrate on her studies
What she saw in the nightmare of the previous night confirmed her Sunday School teacher’s verdict
She saw herself in hell being tortured by demons with whips of fire
It was a horrible experience
She wanted to pray, to ask God for forgiveness but she couldn’t
Her teacher had told her God does not hear the prayer of sinners and she was a sinner!
She was doomed
Her teacher noticed that she was troubled and tried to find out what was wrong but she couldn’t confide in anyone
She didn’t want them to know and judge her
She didn’t want them to know she was going to hell
That night the nightmare returned
This time she saw herself tied to a pole while getting tortured by dark being
The pain was intense
She screamed in pain and agony
When she opened her
eyes her mother was beside her again, soothing her and speaking softly to her
Her mother got worried
What could be plaguing her daughter that badly?
Where did the nightmares come from?
She was convinced it was an attack of the enemy and she resolved to pray more with her daughter
Every night before she slept
The prayers didn’t help
For two weeks, her daughter kept screaming in agony from her sleep
She confided in a friend who had teen children too
The friend said “Talk to your daughter, she may not be as young and innocent as you think”
The words of her
Friend stung her
It felt like an indictment
As a mother she made sure she devoted quality time to raising her children
She left her banking job to start her own business because she wanted to raise her children in a manner that will make God proud
But she knew her friend was
Right
Everybody keeps secrets, especially teenagers
That night she prayed with her daughter as she tucked her in bed and asked her what the problem was
Her daughter wanted to talk but then swallowed the words
She saw this and knew there was a problem.
She begged and pleaded but
Her daughter she not budge
When her daughter saw her crying, her daughter opened up and told her everything.
It was ironic that while watching porn, her daughter could sleep but after hearing the verdict of the Sunday School teacher her daughter became tormented!
She told her
Daughter the Sunday School teacher was wrong
The next morning she took her daughter to the office of the brother in Jeans and T-shirt
She wanted her to hear from an authority figure apart from herself, perhaps the damage done by one can be repaired by another
The brother in Jeans
And T-shirt listened to the mother and daughter
When they were done he said “Let me demonstrate something to you”
Then he called one of the ministers and said “Please get her filled with the Holy Ghost”
Few minutes later, while the brother in Jeans and T-shirt and her mother were
Still talking they heard her voice in the church premises, praying in tongues.
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt laughed, he said “Your daughter will no longer be tormented by negative thoughts, fear and nightmare. The Holy Spirit has taken her over”
Her mother said Amen.
An hour
later, after she had prayed and cried and felt the burden on her heart lifted, she was brought to the office of the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
She was smiling and glowing
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt said “Do you know what has happened to you?”
She nodded and said “I was
Baptized in the Holy Spirit”
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt said “Who is the Holy Spirit?”
She said “The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God”
Then the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt said “If the Holy Spirit did not reject you but choose to dwell in you, can God reject you”
She said
“No sir”
“Can God condemn the Holy Spirit to hell fire?”
She said “No sir”
Can God condemn you to hell after you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost?”
She smiled and said No.
She said “I have asked God for forgiveness
And I know He has forgiven me”
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt blessed her and her mother

Ps: That was the end of the season of torment in her life
Her mother had rest
She was delivered from from porn and whip of religion
The gospel sets us free from sin and the fear of hell
The gospel is the power of God unto salvation, not the power of God unto condemnation
We should know the gospel and be the gospel to the world
The devil has laid a lot of booby traps in the world to ensnare the innocent
Our job is to set the captives free in the name of Jesus

There is a certain kind of heart required as you grow in your walk with the Holy Spirit
A heart that loves the unlovable, that will choose to be foolish in the face of the manipulations of men and remain steadfast to the instructions of the Holy Spirit
A very rare kind of heart
David had that kind of heart
He succinctly described to Jonathan what He knew King Saul was planning for him
Jonathan argued, believing his father was capable of distinguishing between what is best for Israel and what is best for the House of Saul
To King Saul, Israel and the
House of Saul was one and the same
He desired to establish his throne forever in Israel even after God had told him clearly that this will not be so
Saul's daughter, Michal was on David's side (She was married to David)
Saul's crown prince Jonathan's soul was knit to David's soul

Just now, after leaving sister Ihuoma’s house and heading to the airport, I took a bike. The bike man was a believer! He started preaching to me. I kept quiet as he preached and prayed. When he was done I said “Your name is Goodnews Uche”
He parked his bike and looked at me.
He
said “Sir, how did you know?”
I said the Lord told me about you earlier today while I was at the burial and what he said made me realize I might meet you in person today.
He said “Sir, I am not a bike man, I am a gospel artist. I recently launched my album and it didn’t do well.
When I heard there will be a burial today I borrowed this bike to do some runs to make some change to keep body and soul together.
I said “The Lord said he is opening the book of remembrance unto you and other good things and I want to be the first to back up what God said with

After she got married and relocated to America
She kept an eye on the marriage of her first love
Not in a peeping tom manner but because of the prophecy from her pastor and his pastor that nipped the bloom of their relationship in the bud
She prayed for him and his home once in
a while
She really wanted him to do well
They didn't stay in touch
After the prophecy and her text message that he should stop coming around, he texted her three times
Once on her birthday, the other time on Christmas day and the third occasion was when she went to sing at a
church's jamboree festival
He was at the occasion to cheer her on but he didn't come around to say hello
He sent her a message congratulating her on the success of the ministration
After he got married, she didn't hear a word from him
Marriage does that to most old friendships
It

There is nothing like being obedient to the Holy Spirit
When he sets a course for you to walk in, please walk in it
Today is the 27th of January 2021
On the 17th of September 2018, the Holy Spirit instructed me to build Him a website
Like Mary, I asked "How can these things be
seeing that I had nothing and I was a nobody"
The power of the Highest did this!
I am glad to announce that we have taken delivery of our studio equipment, our professional cameras, microphone, and LED lighting system. We have also taken possession of another plot of land closer
to Lagos apart from the GSWMI Pneuma City located in Awe, Oyo State.
Our studio will be ready in no time! both gswmi.org and gbengawemimo.com are thriving and has birthed a lot of ministries in a short time. Has the Lord called you to do something for Him?
