SURROUNDED
EPISODE 11
i still did not believe all that prophet ojioku told me that my father was responsible for my predicaments. i said to myself, “these people want to brainwash me. i wont let them”. I Stood up to leave when the prophet called me back.
“brother, he called. why are you doubting the spirit. Your father is your problem. we will carry out heavy work on you. it will cost you money. it will cost you 150thousand only. we will buy spiritual perfume ,Cartons. coconut, baskets, salt, one bag, we will buy ram, hmmm, your deliverance is going to be very hard. we will buy white clothe, red one, yellow one, blue one. see, even new bible. we will buy baby rubber. We will need native kolanut and original schenapp. Your father must die after this.”
i stood up. This prophet, is he alright? 150thousand?from where will i get such money. i said to him, “sir, i don’t have such money. i can barely feed. i don’t have a roof over my head and you are asking for 150thousand. can’t you just help me”? The man shouted, nooooo, listen to me brother, you don’t have much time. Spirits from the calabash are closer than you can imagine. The faster, the better. Go and borrow. Do it anyhow but make sure you bring the money, 150thousand complete. After your payment, you start dry fasting. you will be under the sun, reading PSALM 35,without food, without water till it is 6pm for one week. Inshort, when you pay your money,you will know more”.
i walked out of the church crying. who will give me 150k? i still did not believe my father had a hand in all my predicaments. i was only afraid of the spirits of the calabash. i use to be a runs boy. i still remember some tricks. i will play code to get this money. These calabash spirits won’t turn me into a mad man. i must silence them. Hustling continues. on my way back, i snatched a young man’s bag and ran as quick as my legs could carry me . I had no place to lay so i entered a public toilet just to search the bag. I almost hanged myself when i found out that all that was in the bag were dirty clothes, books, and ?50. nothing relevant!?
time was running out. I was afraid. The spirits of the calabash was all i had on my mind.
All through the night, i could not sleep. i already sold my phone to feed. i cannot reach anybody. i cried. hmmm, crying has become an identity for me. My life was wortless. As i was crying, i was hearing a woman preaching. she was saying “come unto me, all you who labour and are heavily ladden, i will give you rest”. That “i will give you rest ”walked through me. it traveled through my bones and muscles. it walked through every thread of vein in my head. She said again “ FOR HE HAS FREELY GIVEN US ALL THINGS. SALVATION IS FREE, DELIVERANCE IS FREE. JESUS HAS PAID WITH HIS BLOOD. YOU DO NOT NEED ANYOTHER PAYMENT. HE HAS BLOTTED OUT THE HANDWRITTING OF ORDINANCES THAT WAS AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO US. HE HAS TAKEN IT OUT OF THE WAY AND HAS NAILED IT TO THE CROSS” For the first time, i felt goose bumps hearing someone preach. She kept on speaking. There was power in her words. i was crying. she said“ peter said, i have toiled all night and could not catch a fish” i indeed have toiled all night, i caught nothing. Then she said “JESUS CAN TURN YOUR SHATTERED LIFE AROUND, IF YOU CAN TURN AROUND AND FOLLOW HIM”
My shattered life started playing like a movie. i was crying. i felt something hit me hard on my chest when she said “YOUNG MAN, ALL YOU NEED IS JESUS. THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE SON OF GOD.” I stood up to run towards the area the woman’s voice was coming from. THE SPIRITS FROM THE CALABASH SURFACED.
THE HOUR HAS COME. JESUS HOUR CANNOT BE INTERRUPTED?!!
