MY BABY HUSBAND
Episode 67

I no fit sleep ooo. Mosquito no gree for me ooo. See the way dem dey bite me. Ha! Lord have mercy. How mosquito go dey bite me like this. I had to cover myself completely with the blanket. I mean, I had to cover every single part of my body including my face.
The repercussion of that was the heat I had to deal with. I was sweating profusely. I can’t remember the last time I sweated. I was always in my air-conditioned master bedroom. Even if I travelled out, I always had the best hotel for the night.
Chai! Christiana! This is truly an experience you would never forget in your life. I can’t believe I would ever experience this part of life. As wealthy as I am, I was forced to live like this. And because of what? My future!
Yes, one night in a remote village will not be enough to pay for many years of marital bliss. One night was worth it. I will pay the price. My unborn children will thank me for the wonderful man I married. The father they would grow up to love. One mosquito night is not too much of a sacrifice for my unborn children and my generation.
At a point, I felt like I was suffocating. I had to come out of the blanket. Mosquito came for my blood in their numbers. I had to run into the safety of my blanket.
“Oh Jesus! Please give me sleep!” I whispered.
“GO AND MEET YOUR HUSBAND IN THE SITTING ROOM”, Came the gentle whisper.
I sat up immediately and checked the time. It was 10:55pm. I had gone to bed by 9pm and succeeded in getting no sleep at all. I stood up and put on my slippers. Still covering my body with the blanket. I found my way to the palour.
I met Silas reading his bible in the sitting room. He was using a lantern. To be honest, I only saw lantern in movies. Epic Yoruba movies to be precise. It was my first time to see a lantern in reality.
Immediately he saw me, he smiled and stood up
“I knew it!” He said grinning.
“Knew what?” I asked.
“I knew you would be unable to sleep. I knew you were awake. So I told God to bring you here”, he answered.
“Wow! So it was you that told my daddy to send me here to meet you?” I asked grinning.
“Yes! I was just missing you”, he replied.
“You’re not serious. We’re both in the same house and you’re missing me. You better focus on the revelation in the bible. You are reading Bible and the only thing you’re thinking about is woman. Carnal brother!”
He burst into laughter and I couldn’t help but join him.
“Please sit down!” He said and took my hand.
I sat down beside him and wrapped the blanket around my legs.
“So what are you reading?” I asked.
“Mysteries! I just saw something in the bible that I haven’t seen before”.
“Hmmm! Mysteries is my food ooo. Please feed your baby!” I said.
“Actually I need you here so we can learn this together”.
“Hmmm! Flimsy excuse. Just admit you were busy thinking about a woman. While the menurah burn upon the chambers of your inner man. While the Shekinah opened the Principles of the kingdom and downloaded the proponents of divinity into your humanity to activate the dimensions of Zoe. All you were doing was thinking about a woman”.
“Christy! Na wetin you talk?” He asked.
I burst into laughter.
“This woman finish me ooo. See spiritual grammar! Ha! I need to enroll for your school ooo. Make you dey teach me grammar”.
I laughed so hard that my stomach tightened.
“Christy, I have been asking God about something. It had been on my mind lately. I discovered that some particular things that happened in our lives s as Christians were not part of God’s plans for our lives.
So I started asking God about something so important. It’s true that God had a perfect plan and we ruin it true disobedience to his instructions”.
“Like I did today”, I interrupted him.
“That’s nothing please!”
“It is something. Because your parents were displeased with my appearance. I appeared pompous according to their standards”, I replied.
“It’s alright Pretty Christy! What I’m here to talk about is the way forward. I’m here to talk about the way Jesus would tackle this situation. What God started teaching me right now is seriously amazing”.
“Please share with me!” I replied smiling.
“It’s called SPIRITUAL NAVIGATION”.
“Wow!”
“It’s true God had an original plan. But we are not robots. We are free moral agents. We make decisions without thinking about the consequences. Is it true that everything that happened on earth all God’s doing? Did God plan to give Abraham a son through the slave of Sarah? Did God plan that Moses would not enter the promised land?
Was it God’s perfect will for David to kill Uriah and marry Bathsheba? Bathsheba was already married to a completely different person and family. So did God really plan for David to fall into adultery so that Solomon could be born?
That’s what God taught me just now. Spiritual Navigation is a dimension of the mercy of God that brings a man out of his wrong tracks, back to the original plans God initially had for him.
When a person travelling with a navigator misses his or her way? Immediately, the navigator system in the car begins to search for a new path, aimed at bringing the person back to the place he had missed.
Now, listen to what God has to say in the book of Jeremiah 18:1. The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Verse 2. Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
Verse 3. Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
Verse 4. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Verse 5. Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Verse 6. O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
Verse 7. At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
Verse 8. If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them”.
“Thank you Jesus!” I whispered.
“God is not a God of your own done finish! You fell into sin and slept with that man. You got pregnant for him out of wedlock. I told you to do this and you disobeyed, now problem has come. You’re in trouble! Your own don finish.
Instead, he starts working on a plan to bring you back to the original plan he had for you. So even when Abraham missed it and gave birth to Ishmael, he still helped him and brought Isaac at the right time.
Even when David missed it and fell into sin. When all everyone were saying is that Bathsheba is nothing but a seductress. She’s a devil incanate. She bought her way into David’s life through her seduction.
God the merciful navigator decided to craft out a new plan and brought the successor of David, out of the woman that was hated by everyone.
What about Jephthah? He was a product of a prostitute mother. His mum was working as a prostitute to survive and that’s how he was born. Even his family members drove him away from the family because of his mum’s reputation.
But God the merciful navigator, honoured that man and brought him back to the original plans he had for his life. God gave him the ability to fight. And when Israel needed a champion to lead them into battle, he was called upon. That was how the son of an ashawo, became a judge in Israel.
Tell me a situation that is too difficult for God to rewrite? He is so full of ideas and wisdom that he can never be caught off guard.
That’s what God was teaching me. Spiritual navigation”, he said in conclusion.
I started clapping.
“Wow! Should I say God has given me my own Apostle Paul, like he gave my mentor?” I teased.
He smiled and took my hand.
“I’m just an ordinary gateman”.
“See your mouth like I’m just! Stop seeing yourself that way! You’re a great teacher of God’s word”
He smiled and gave my fingers a gentle squeeze.
“Christy, we made mistakes today. There were instructions we neglected. There were times we did not follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit. But God is here to tell us that we can make it. Despite our faults. God is not a God of hopelessness. He gives hope to the hopeless.
Christy, I’m getting the burden to pray right now. Can we talk to God to navigate us? Show us the path we must follow. Tell us your plan B. Lord! Reveal the way into the heart of my parents!”
“Our parents”, I corrected.
“Our parents”, he concurred.
“Can we begin to pray?”
We both went down on our knees and began to pray. We prayed fervently but not too loud, so as not to disturb our parents who were fast asleep.
“Lord! You said in your word that the heart of the kings are in your hands. Touch the heart of our parents. Satan is only trying to make us think there is no hope in this matter. But with you, all things are possible. Give us victory.
Daddy! This marriage was ordained by you and according to your word, the gates of hell will not prevail over whatever you have established. Lord, cause the kingdom of hell to lose its grip over the lives and hearts of our parents in Jesus name”, I prayed.
“CRIS! DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT I TAUGHT YOU ABOUT SPIRITUAL ENCHANTMENT?”
“Yes Daddy!” I replied.
“GO AND CAST YOUR SPELLS ON YOUR IN-LAWS! THE BIBLE SAYS THOU SHALL DECREE A THING AND IT SHALL BE ESTABLISHED. LIFE AND DEATH ARE IN THE POWER OF THE TONGUE.
SUMMON THEIR SPIRITS TO THIS PRAYER ALTAR RIGHT NOW AND COMMAND THEM TO DO WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO. THEY WILL START OBEYING YOU LIKE FOOLS”.
“Ayayayaaaaaa!” I stood up and shut my eyes tightly.
“Mummy and Daddy! Wherever your spirit are, locked up by demons. Demons are feeding your mind with hatred and bitterness towards me. I summon your spirits right now!”
“Amen!” Silas replied.
“And I command you in the name that is above every other name to accept Christiana Kolapo as your daughter-in-law in the name of Jesus”.
“Amen!”
“Listen to me Mummy and Daddy! Your bodies are asleep right now, but your spirits can hear me. The Bible says in Philippians 2:9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I hereby command your knees to bow! In the name of Jesus!”
“Amen!”
“You don’t have a choice! Whether you like Christiana or not, she has been chosen by God. So you have to accept her as God’s will. The bible says in Numbers 14:28. Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you.
Daddy we have spoken, you’re not a liar! You said you would do what we have spoken! So let what we have spoken come to pass in Jesus name!”
“Amen!”
“Let’s begin to thank God for answering our prayers!” I said and went down on my knees.
“Thank you Jesus! Thank you Lord!”
“Christiana my daughter! Listen to me! I have chosen you despite your past mistakes. You are a product of mercy and the intercessory prayers of Mrs Juliet Thompson.
Obey me! Obey me! Obey me! My spirit will not strive with man for he is flesh and blood. I don’t struggle with people. If I tell you to go left and you want to go right, I will definitely allow you go your way.
Daughter! You said you want to kiss me! Kiss me by obeying my command”, Silas said.
His eyes were tightly shut. I knew he was was under the power of the Holy Ghost.
I laid prostrate on the floor and began to blast in tongues. I never told Silas about that conversation I had with God where I told God I wanted to loss him. This was a complete manifestation of the gift of the Holy Spirit called the word of knowledge.
“Father help me! Please give me the grace! Strengthen my inner man. Cause everything that wants to rebel against you to be uprooted out of my heart in Jesus name”
To be continued……
Baba and Iya Silas are in trouble. Who are they to think they can cancel our wedding. A wedding we have been planning for how many days now.
Abeg, marriage committee, how far?
Spiritual Navigation! I don’t care to know how messed up your destiny is. I don’t care to know what terrible thing you brought upon yourself through sin.
The word of God says, whosoever (meaning any person) that calls upon the name of the Lord, shall be rescued.
I love this spiritual spells Christiana cast on her in-laws. Let me see if they will wake up and start misbehaving.
Christy! You go teach me grammar oooo!
