Dry Bones

When his wife's twin sister moved 
into their house
She claimed she was having a family
crisis and needed a place to stay for
a short while
His wife's twin sister came with four 
children
He didn't like it at all
But his wife begged him and promised
they wouldn't become a nuisance
They are family and he was a Christian
He made room for them
He was earning sixty-five thousand naira
as salary at the time
He was working with a cement retail dealer
He was working as a stock keeper
The job had some perks
One of such was the ease with which
he was able to build his three bedroom
bungalow with ease
He built in a developing area
He bought the land from a friend and 
developed it within three years
The house still needed a lot of work
But it has been built to an appreciable
stage and his family was able to move 
in
That was what saved him from the clutches
of his former landlady
He built the proposed boys quarters first
just so that they can provide a roof for his
family
As soon as His wife's twin sister moved in
Something else moved into his house
subtly
Suddenly, his wife became more spiritual
and started visiting all sorts of "churches"
for prayers
Prophesies started dropping like fruits from an
almond tree
Suddenly his relatives were labeled witches,
glory snatchers and fetish people
Suddenly his wife was referring to him as
bound, tied down, in darkness and all sorts
His wife had always been a spiritual short-cut
kinda person
She didn't particularly like religion but she
would take and use any fetish thing offered
to her as long as she believed it would give her
the desired result
He had always consoled himself that the 
Bible says "The believing partner will sanctify
the unbelieving partner"
He never for once envisaged that
his wife would be influenced by her sister
in the opposite direction
He heard all the prophecies and told his
wife he was praying about them
But his wife and her twin sister had their
own agenda
They were determined to keep the evil
people away from his house
One weekend, his parents and other
relatives came to visit him 
His wife and the twin sister lit seven
candles at his gate and started burning
incense to ward away evil
They did it in such a manner that his
family members knew they were the 
ones the action was directed at
By the time he got home that evening
his parents and relatives had left
His wife saw nothing wrong with all
the drama
She had been brainwashed into thinking
his family members were the reasons they
were not richer than they were at 
that moment!
When his parents called him, his mother
was in tears!
His mother couldn't believe she could be
thrown out of her own son's house by his
wife
He begged and pleaded
When he asked his wife what happened
His wife had nothing concrete to say
Her twin sister disappeared into the room
He was in anguish as he spoke to his wife
His wife insisted that only witches could
have been offended by what she did
Those who were of plain minds wouldn't
have taken offense
He kept quiet for the sake of peace
A few weeks later, his wife's mother
arrived at his house for a visit
By this time the twin sister had stayed
six months with her children
Her mother had gloucoma and came
to the city for treatment
After the treatment, she was brought
to his house for recovery
He was very uncomfortable with it
They had a farm closeby where he planted
cassava and some maize which had helped
him cope with feeding the crowd in his house
until that moment
His wife was a petty trader 
His wife's sister had nothing she was doing
He had three children of his own
His wife's sister had four children
Her mother arrived with a housemaid and
his wife's younger sister
The house was almost bursting at the seams
There was no room to rest
The noise was crazy during the day
and all the space choked during the night!
He had no privacy with his wife
It was as if they all decided to camp inside
his head
The needs of the family increased exponentially
The responsibility for his mother-in-law's
drugs fell upon him
Suddenly all his wife's relatives started coming
around
Some would come and leave in the evening
Others will spend the night
All in the name of paying "mama" a visit
while she recovered from surgery
If they had a bag of rice at home
Within a short time, everything is gone
They were like locusts
Sent to devour him and his sweat
He prayed and fasted
He reported to his pastor and some friends
Nobody seemed to be able to give him
the right counsel
He knew what he must do
But he was aware that there would be
repercussions
He really wished there was another way
But the pressure was too much 
One Saturday morning, he didn't know where
the anger came from
He just snapped!
He told everybody to leave his house
His wife's twin sister and her four children
His wife's mother and her entourage
His wife wouldn't hear of it
She said "they go she would leave too"
He said she was free to leave
It almost resulted in a fisticuff
By 2 pm that day, his house was quiet again
Of course, he had regrets
Human feelings and emotions are always
here and there at such times
But he knew in his head that he did
the right thing
His sanity was hanging in the balance
He expected his wife to return home that
evening or at most the next day
He knew she did what she did to save face
He was sure his family members would
tell her to return to her husband
It was the right thing to do
His wife didn't return home
After a week, he became restless
He called his wife and apologized
His wife told him that as far as she
was concerned
The moment he threw her people out
of the house, the marriage was over
He thought it was a joke
He called his wife's parents and relatives
He wanted them to arrange a meeting
He wanted to say his bit
He wanted a chance to explain what
happened
They kept postponing and postponing
They had formed a strong wall of resistance
He decided to give her some more time
to cool off
One year after she left, he heard she was
getting married again
He couldn't believe it
They had not even divorced properly
He had a right to ask for a refund of the 
dowry he paid
He didn't
He sued for divorce legally and he got it
He told himself it was one of those things
His children were aged 10, 8 and 5 when
his wife left
He was open to the idea of remarrying
But he wasn't too keen on it
His mother and younger sister came
to his rescue
The school bus took the children to his
parent's house after school
He picked them every evening on his way
home from work
Within a year, he saved some money and 
got into cement distributorship
Fortune smiled on him
Over a period of five years
The area he focussed on developed very 
quickly
He became wealthy
He built a better house and moved from
the outskirt back into the city
He joined forces with some builders and
architects and became their major supplier
His mother started talking about remarriage
There was nothing missing from his life
but a wife
He had a series of relationships along the way
but nothing serious
He met a lady, a twenty-three year old fresh
graduate
They met at the Cement Distributor's Gala
The lady was one of the ushers for the occasion
He was drawn to her immediately
They exchanged numbers and started seeing
each other
After six months, he took the lady to meet his
parents
He told them his intention to marry her
When he got to the office the next day
His ex-wife was waiting for him
She said she was told he was remarrying
She told him she was sorry
Her family members had followed her into
her second marriage and crashed it like
the first
She had learned her lesson
She wanted him to consider her and take
her back for the sake of the children
She didn't want another woman to do
her duty over her children for her on the 
day of their celebration!
He didn't know what to say
She had virtually become a stranger to him
He didn't love her anymore
Even the children hadn't seen her for
many years
Taking her back made no sense
He told her the blunt truth
She left his office in a huff 
Two hours later, his babe called him
She said something totally bizarre 
happened to her as she was going to
the salon
A woman came out of nowhere and 
poured something powdery all over her
Then the woman ran off in the opposite
direction without looking back
He asked her to describe what the woman
was wearing
She did
It was his ex-wife
He called his ex-wife immediately
His ex-wife didn't deny it
She said "You said you don't love me
anymore but i know you love her! It is
either you marry the two of us because
you love her or she will bleed to death!
The choice is yours"
What!
He called his babe, he asked her if she
was fine
She said she was fine
She just had some goose pimples and 
all but she was fine
He dismissed his ex-wife's threat
A week later, his babe started her monthly
menstruation 
And a flow of five days continued on and on
They went to the hospital
Doctors said all sorts
The flow continued
He called his ex-wife, he begged and 
pleaded
Nothing!
They went to other places
He was told to remarry his ex-wife or
leave his babe
His babe was assured it would all come
to an end, once they parted ways
His babe told him she was no longer
interested in the relationship
She just wanted her life to return to
normal
He didn't want to lose her
He wrote to the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
He explained everything and asked for
counsel
They met the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
during the first Supernatural Sunday held
on March 8, 2020
Their case was called and ministers of the 
gospel anointed them with oil
The issue of blood stopped immediately
Two days after the service, she wrote
to the brother in jeans an T-shirt
She said she had not told her man about
the miracle because she was afraid if the
ex-wife knew she was healed, the ex-wife
would go and get a stronger charm to use
against her
The Bother in Jeans and T-shirt told her 
about the power of the Holy Spirit
He told her affliction cannot come upon
anyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit
He told her the story of BarJesus and Peter
It was the Holy Spirit that disciplined
the sorcerer and not vice-versa
Believers have nothing to fear of the powers
of darkness
She gave her life to Jesus
She was filled with the Holy Spirit
The seal of eternal immunization was
placed upon her

Ps: Theikos Doxa's Seven Supernatural Sunday
Continues on Sunday 22nd March 2019.
We have seen the Holy Spirit move in many
ways
You are invited to be a part of this fellowship
of the Spirit, dry bones are rising again!
Prophet Femi Oladehin and other ministers
of the Gospel will be Ministering
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt will also be
there
It has been a week and a day since
she was totally healed
She will be getting married in June
On Sunday, 15th March, she returned with
her husband and his last-child
They were led to Christ and Baptised
in the Holy Spirit
The victory was complete on every side

GSW's notes: I have heard people say
"I speak in tongues and evil still happens
to me! I am still tied down! I still have evil
dreams! I am still afflicted!"
Such realities are an aberration
It means the person was touched by the
Holy Spirit and he or she assumed that
was all!
We must be "being" filled with the Holy Spirit.
That means we must be continually filled
That means we cannot be in the flesh now
and then be in the spirit the next moment
We must remain in the spirit at all times
If we remain in the spirit, there will be
no foothold for the enemy in our lives
