For days, Gloria avoided me like a plague Why? I didn’t know. I was expecting her to come over to ask for money, but she never showed up. I had the feeling she was avoiding me. Fortunately I had worked for those four days selling water, so I had saved enough to give her. Favour had also given me some money to support myself. I had told her about the water business. She told me it was ridiculous, but I jokingly told her it was possible God was training me for the water factory I was going to build soon. With that she smiled and gave me some money to buy my own Wheelbarrow and Gallons. On the forth day, I went to Gloria’s door after she returned from school as I wanted to put an end to the hide and seek game “ Gloria..” I said knocking “ Yes” She replied from within… “ Can I have a word with you” I said “ I am listening… See Uncle Chuks, if it is about what we spoke about the other time, don’t bother. I am no longer interested.” “ No longer interested?” I spoke out without knowing… “ Yes…” I am sorry for ever trying to make you do it with me… Something was definitely wrong! “ Gloria, What is wrong?” I asked “Nothing!” She answered too quickly “ Gloria!” I said “ I said Nothing, I only had a dream about what will happen to me if you ever sleep with me” she said “ Really, ?” “ Yes!” “ Ok please I want to know…” “ Don’t worry, I guess God is just giving me a warning” I decided to open the door and step in, on stepping in, I pulled her by the hand and told her to come out holding her hand firmly. “ Exactly how you were holding my hand in the dream” She said in fear I released my grip on her hand.. “ Sorry about that… So please tell me the dream, so I will be careful around you “ “ I had a dream about you raping me… You turned into a wild animal like a beast and you raped me in my dream, and that was not the end, you cut my wrist and started sucking my blood. After which you now brought girls to have sex with me, like lesbians. I tried to run from you and the lesbians but you kept chasing me around….” She said “And you think I am the one you saw in your dream?” “ Yes, I saw your face” “ Ok…” I told her to sit beside me and I told her my past life. I could see fear in her eyes. “ That person you saw in the dream, shows that though I am born again, if you sleep with me, you might be acquiring a lot of demon. A lot of the demons that were living in me are just lurking around, waiting for me to make a mistake and make a comeback into my life . Thereafter, based on your having sex with me, the demons will rush into your life“ I said trying to explain to her “ Is that how Sex works?” She asked soberly “ Yes, sex is beyond the enjoyment, it is a transaction. If for instance I have 5 demons in me and you have 2 demons, by virtue of Sex, I will acquire 2 from you and you will acquire 5 from me, and unfortunately the circle goes on, if the next person you sleep with has 10 demons or personal foundational issues, you will acquire it. It is just like when you sleep with someone who has a sexually transmitted disease, what happens when you sleep with them?” I asked “ You will get the disease..” she said “ Exactly… now do you know why I said I don’t know if sleeping with you is worth it… I don’t know how many demons you may have acquired through all the boys and uncles you have slept with…” “ I don’t know… but will I be the only one acquiring the demons or will the men acquire it too?” She asked innocently “ Yes, the men will acquire it too, and it will be affecting their lives…” “ How? Is it affecting my life?” “ Yes, part of it are the sexual dreams you have started having, a lot of girls who had sex while growing up do have a lot of sexual partners in their dreams who are only draining their virtues… Most times it will happen to them when they are about to do something major in their life. Those wicked demons will be destroying the good things they plan to do… For instance some girls will find it hard to get married, those that get married may hate their husbands and some don’t eventually have children, so for the ladies they suffer a lot… Sex before marriage is like eating unripe fruit. It is sour, causes stomach upset and so on…” I said without knowing where all these information I poured out of my mouth came out from “ What about the boys, how does premarital sex affect them?” “ Same as I stated with the women and a lot worse, because God expects more from men. They also suffer marital challenges, the demons will make them marry the wrong women, the demons will push them towards poverty and lack, they may be smart and have good ideas but will not be able to make money from it…” “ Ha!, maybe that is what is wrong with Uncle Ben the barber, I have seen that people don’t go to his salon anymore.. He does not have money again… Ha! even me I misplace money a lot these days.. Uncle Chuks does that mean I have acquired the Spirit of poverty by sleeping around…?” “ It is possible and it can even be worse, you could acquire the demon of forgetfulness as a student and that will affect your academics…” I said With that, she stood up pacing up and down… “ Uncle Chuks, how can I cleanse myself from these demons?” She asked innocently “ Very simple…” To be continued
