Princess Stories
EPISODE THIRTY
Helen got up at exactly 15mins to 12midnight, ready for prayers. By this time, Chief had already slept off, as well as the kids.
A few minutes to her prayer time she felt the urge to engage in sincere worship which lasted longer than her usual stipulated time but the more she tried to stop and go into prayers, the stronger the urge to keep praising and worshipping.
When she ran out of songs, she carried a hymn book she had just bought and began to sing familiar hymns.
Meanwhile….
Kadar kept trying so hard to have an access into Chief’s dreams but all attempts proved futile.
“Why is making use of my powers so difficult these days?” He asked furiously.
“Because you’re fighting against the apple of God’s eye.” A voice within him replied
“Apple of whose eye? Chief’s soul isn’t committed into the hands of the Almighty in anyway.” He argued
“But someone keeps interceding for his soul incessantly.” The voice responded.
“His wife.” He said with a gnash of teeth and tightened fist.
“If only I could get that praying woman out of the way, this assignment on my neck would be easy.”
“Well, you can try but you might get burned.”
STRUCK DOWN : EPISODE 21-THE END
Debby got up from her bed like someone that just had a nightmare.
“The same dream again.” She whispered to herself
“But why would I firmly keep holding on to rags and filthy things? What does this mean? Or is there something in my life that’s filthy before God?” She asked herself over and over.
“You’re not asleep?” Her mom said as she walked into her room.
“I just woke up.” She replied and turned to look at the time.
It was 2am and she wondered what her mom was doing in her room at that hour.
“Well, I came to check up on you to be sure you’re sleeping on bed and not on your reading table like you do these days.”
“Ohhh …thank you Ma.”
“You’re welcome.” Mom said with a smile and was about leaving when Debby stopped her.
“Mummy wait! I had a dream.” Debby said and that hot her mother’s attention.
“A dream? Okay, I’m listening.” Her mom said and Debby narrated the dream to her.
“I’ve had this particular dream like twice now and each time I wake up from the dream, my spirit is disturbed.”
“Why worry or get disturbed when you can pray?” Her mom said like a whisper that Debby didn’t hear her properly.
“You said what?”
“Yes dear, why worry when you can pray? Have you forgotten the Bible said we should be careful for nothing? Simply put, we should be anxious, worried or depressed for nothing, but take everything to God through prayer,
Thanksgiving and supplication. If you’re worried sick about your dream and what it means, take it to God in prayer. It’s obvious your dream came from God since it’s trying to warm you about something in you that’s filthy, so it’s His will that you understand the dream perfectly and act accordingly.”
“Hmmm…..okay, I’d do just that.”

“Jesus. Thank you Jesus!” Helen whispered from her sleep and that startled her husband.
“What is it? Is something wrong?”
“I just I just had a….”
“Nightmare?” Chief tried to complete her speech
“No no no, it’s more like a dream of reassurance that exposed the plans of the enemy.”
“So what did you see?” Chief asked impatiently.
“A man….a short man dressed in a fetish manner, talking about his plans in his secret room. When I realized where I was, I tried to listen closely and discovered his wicked plans was against you and I. When I was about to panic and wonder what a native doctor had to do with us, I heard a voice say. ‘Despite this, do not fear.’ Then I had this peace within me before I woke up.” Helen narrated and immediately Chief’s mind drove back to Kadar immediately.
“Are you here?” Helen asked, shaking her absent-minded husband lightly
“Yes yes dear, I’m listening.”
“So as I was saying, I can’t tell what we must’ve done to a native doctor that he’d have such evil agenda against us.”
“Hmmm…..Our God will fight for us.”
“Our God?”
“Yes our God.” Chief said and then thought in his heart.
“God Almighty, I’ve automatically acknowledged you as my God now. Kadar isn’t after us, he’s after me. Please fight for me, fight for my soul.”
Wow okay, thank God this is really earlier than I expected it to be.
It’s so amazing ( and annoying sometimes honestly) how people who have been so neck-deep into evil run back to God when there comes a problem they can’t handle.
Well, the mystery of our faith and awesomeness of our God who is rich in mercy give them the chance to be part of the kingdom…..and they end up doing well o, even better than those who are citizens of the kingdom by birth (you get?)
Hmmm….. It is well.
