MY BABY HUSBAND Episode 75

© Ayo Omolayo

I drove in through the gate and parked my car. I was at my uncle’s house just as he requested. He said any discussion about my marriage would not be on phone anymore.

I thought it was an empty threat. So I called and called but never got a response. It was a text message from him that confirmed my thoughts.

I knew I had no choice. I called Silas and told him everything about my uncle. Not only about my uncle, but my horrible past. It was a refreshing moment. I had no idea of what awaited me at my uncle’s house. But I knew God was with me.

I was ushered in and made to sit down. I waited for him in the sitting room. Two minutes later, he joined me.

“Uncle! Good evening!” I said and knelt down to greet him.

He smiled and nodded his head.

“Call me daddy! I don’t want to ever hear the word uncle from your mouth. I have now graduated to the realm of daddy. I cannot accept the name uncle anymore”.

“Can you imagine? This man that destroyed your family and almost ate all the money in your father’s company. He’s so unremorseful and unrepentant. He wants you to call him daddy. Does such a wicked man deserve your respect?” Came that arrogant voice.

I smiled.

“It is written in Romans 13:1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Verse 2.Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

He is the authority in my family. He doesn’t need to deserve respect before I respect him. I will respect him because it is first a command from God and because the bible says we should honour those with gray hair.

So I don’t need him to deserve my respect. I only need to obey God’s word. I am commanded to love my enemies and if I love him, I must respect him. I must respect a person I love. And I love him. Yes I do! Because God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power of love and of a sound mind. The spirit of love lives within me”.

“Okay! Good evening Daddy!” I said with a cheerful smile and made to stand up.

“Who told you to stand up?” He yelled.

I flinched and maintained my position.

“I’m sorry Dad!”

“As a humble wife, you don’t stand up until the elderly man gives you the permission to get up. So remain on your knees”, he said and sat down.

I remained on my knees and remained silent.

He picked up his newspaper from the table beside him and sat down. He smiled and took a look at me. I made sure I returned the smile and dragged myself beside his sofa.

“Daddy! I came here to ask for your forgiveness”, I said and touched his hand. He moved a little and then relaxed.

I drew closer and held it with my other hand.

“Daddy! I’m so sorry! I never should have treated you that way. It was so wrong of me to treat you that way. I was so arrogant, proud and unreasonable. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me.

“Cris! I’m feeling thirsty, get and fetch me water. Then when you come back, continue on your knees”.

“Is this man okay?” The negative thought came to my head.

“Get behind me Satan!” I replied.

“It is written in Ecclesiastes 10:20 Don’t bad-mouth your leaders, not even under your breath, And don’t abuse authority, even in the privacy of your home. Curse not the king, no, not even in your thoughts.

I cannot insult my uncle in my heart. It is a sin. It is also written in Psalms 19:14. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight.

Yes! Father! Only the thoughts that are acceptable in your sight are allowed in my heart. Cursing my uncle through my thoughts is a sin”.

I stood up and entered the kitchen. I went straight to the fridge and got a bottle of water. I got the glass cup and the tray.

“Madam, let me help you!” The maid who was mopping the place said as she saw what I was doing.

“Don’t bother! Continue with what you’re doing”, I replied.

“Madam no!” She said and rushed to grab them from my hand.

“Will you stop that?” I said authoritatively.

She paused when she saw my unfriendliness.

“I’m sorry about that my dear! I just need to do this for daddy!” I replied and gave her a comforting smile.

I took the tray to my uncle. I poured the water into the cup and set it on a stool beside him. As soon as I was done, I went down on my knees.

My uncle dropped the newspapers and stared at me like a ghost.

“Cris! Are you okay?” He asked.

I was now confused. What have I done to warrant such questioning?

I only followed the instructions my uncle gave. What else should I have done that I did not do?

“Sir! I’m sorry! What did I do?”

“You brought water for me and went down on your knees again? Is this Cristina?” He asked frowning.

“Sir! But that was exactly what you told me to do. You said I should get you water and I did. You said immediately I was done, I should kneel down. That’s exactly what I did”.

“I don’t understand Cris! This is not you na! Why will you be kneeling down to me? Why will you be getting me water to drink like a house maid? Have you forgotten you’re a CEO? What’s the meaning of that nonsense?”

I don’t understand my uncle again oooo.

“But that was what you told me to do”.

“If I tell you to do something stupid, why would you do it? Can’t you argue with me? Aren’t you a CEO? If I ask you to go and clean the toilet, why would you go and do it?”

“I did it because you told me to do it”, I replied calmly.

I was almost laughing. I was seriously struggling to hold myself from laughing.

“Cris! You’re not like this! What happened to you?”

“Jesus happened to me”, I answered.

“Snap out of it! And can you imagine, you’re talking to me, still on your knees! Will you stand up!” He shouted.

God, is my uncle confused or something?

“Cris! I said stand up! You’re supposed to be raining curses on me. Not kneeling down to talk to me”.

I stood up immediately and smiled at him. It was obvious he wanted me to behave in a certain way, but I wasn’t complying.

“Uncle, I’m fine! I’m here to apologize to you for everything I did to you in the past!”

“I have forgiven you already. Please go and bring your husband for me!” He replied frowning.

Was I dreaming? My uncle just agreed to meet with Silas just like that? This must be a dream I cannot wake up from.

“And for your information, don’t bring a gateman here for me. I have been hearing rumors of you getting married to a gateman. I don’t want to see a gateman in my house. Is that understood?”

I was almost dumb on the spot.

“Yes sir!” I answered.

“Good! You can go and bring your husband to see me. My door is always open. Bring your husband the next time you’re coming. You may go”, he said and turned his attention to his newspaper.

I looked at him for a while, unable to say anything. I turned to leave then he called.

“Cris, what happened to you?” He asked.

I turned and smiled at him.

“Jesus was everything that happened to me. He is the reason why you can see me like this. Daddy! He’s the reason for the change you can find in me. If it weren’t for him, all this changes wouldn’t have been possible”, I answered.

“You’re more dangerous now than you were before. I don’t like dealing with dangerous people. Just go and get your husband. As long as he’s not a gateman”.

I drove out of the house with that question in my heart.

“How was I going to take Silas to him! Especially now that he has known his occupation?”

“DO AS HE SAYS, LET ME DO THE REST”, Came the gentle whisper.

I smiled as I got into my car. I drove out of the compound and arrived at my house around 8pm. I was so tired and needed my sleep so badly.

I took off my shoes and threw myself on the bed.

“Good night Daddy! Thank you so much for today!”

“WILL YOU GET UP FROM THAT BED!” He replied in a harsh tone.

I quickly sat up. I was shocked by the tone he was using.

“HAVE YOU CALLED SILAS TO TELL HIM HOW THE MEETING WITH YOUR UNCLE WENT?”

“No sir”.

“AND YOU WANT TO SLEEP. FOR YOUR INFORMATION, YOU’RE NOT SLEEPING TILL 10PM”, he replied.

“Why sir?”

“CALL HIM! YOU’LL FIND OUT WHEN YOU DO!”

“Jesus! Please don’t allow anything happen to him, please!” I prayed as I picked up my phone and dialed his number. It was obvious my sleep had left me.

His number rang and rang but he didn’t pick up the call.

Jesus, please have mercy! Why is Satan fighting me like this? What did I do to him?”

“CRIS YOU’RE FUNNY OOO! DO YOU KNOW THE RATE AT WHICH SATAN FIGHTS GODLY MARRIAGES? YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING YET. ONCE A GODLY UNION IS ESTABLISHED DO YOU KNOW THE LOSSES IT WOULD BRING TO HIS KINGDOM?

WHY WOULDN’T HE FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING IN HIM? IN THE BIBLE PHARAOH KILLED ALL THE BABY BOYS AND SPARED THE GIRLS. DO YOU THINK THAT WAS A MISTAKE?

HE WAS WAITING FOR THE GIRLS AT THE JUNCTION OF MARRIAGE. HE KNEW THAT WHEN THERE WERE NO BOYS AROUND, THEY WOULD GO FOR THE GENTILE EGYPTIANS. AND DID HE SUCCEED? YES HE DID.

PICK UP YOUR BIBLE AND OPEN TO THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS 24:10″.

I quickly rushed to get my bible, opened it and read aloud.

“And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp.

Verse 11. And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan)”.

“CAN YOU SEE FOR YOURSELF? SATAN GAVE THESE CHRISTIAN GIRLS HIS SONS TO MARRY AND IN THE END, GOT REBELLIOUS CHILDREN OUT OF THE UNION. A LOT OF ISRAELITE GIRLS WERE FORCED TO MARRY EGYPTIAN CUTE LOOKING BOYS.

NO WONDER THE GENERATION OF ISRAELITES THAT LEFT EGYPT WITH MOSES COULD NOT MAKE IT INTO THE PROMISED LAND. THEY WERE A MIXED MULTITUDE. GOD HAD TO WAIT FOR THEM TO ALL DIE IN THE WILDERNESS, BEFORE HE BROUGHT ISRAEL INTO THE PROMISED LAND. ONLY JOSHUA AND CALEB OUT OF THAT GENERATION MADE IT INTO THE PROMISED LAND.

ANY LITTLE CHALLENGE IN THE WAY, THEY MENTION EGYPT. ANY LITTLE LACK OR NEED THAT ARISE, THEY MENTION IT WAS BETTER WE WERE SLAVES IN EGYPT. WHY? THEY WERE A MIXED MULTITUDE.

SATAN IS ALWAYS READY TO SOW TARES AMONG THE WHEAT. SO HE’S FIGHTING TO ALWAYS PENETRATE.

CRIS DROP THAT PHONE AND PRAY AGGRESSIVELY. PRAY AGAINST EVERY ATTEMPT FROM THE PIT OF HELL TO DESTROY YOUR MARRIAGE”.

I went down on my knees and began to pray with all the strength I had left.

“Daddy! I don’t know what is happening to my fiancee right now! But protect him! Satan you are a loser. You will not prevail in my family. You will not prevail in my marriage. You will not have your way in my life.

The bible says that on this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell will never prevail against it. Lord! Hell will never prevail over my marital destiny

I shall not be unequally yoked together with the sons of Egypt. I shall walk into my marital destiny, yoked to God’s will for me.

My marriage is covered with the blood of Jesus.

Revelation 12:11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.

Satan I overcome you!”

I began walking authoritatively around the room.

“You are a liar. What God has joined together, you cannot put asunder. Children shall arise from this marriage. Generations shall come forth from this union.

No power of hell will stop us. I cover my man with the blood of Jesus. The blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. When the enemy raise up as a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall rise a standard against them.

Every storm against my marriage, I stop you! In the name of Jesus! I trample upon every serpent and scorpion set against my marriage”.

To be continued…….

Brethren, Satan is destroying alot of Christian marriages today, but his plan is more strategic.

He’s destroying alot of God fearing brothers with glorious destiny. Leaving our sisters with no choice than to marry the sons of Egypt.

Listen to me carefully. You can be sixteen years old today. But It’s not a sin if you start praying for your future husband today. Soak him in prayers oooo.

That God should preserve him, keep him and protect him. A lot of future husbands in the body of Christ are facing series of attacks.

Sisters pray oooo! I remembered how my mentor told me he prayed against rape for his future wife while in secondary school.

When he finally met her, she testified of how she escaped rape many years back.

Your prayers today will go a long way to save that innocent brother you are yet to meet from those destiny hunters out there.

This message is for someone.
