Man On Fire

Man On Fire

He was born into a family of six
His mother was a short pretty woman
His Father, a tall gentleman
He was the last child
The first child was a girl, she was in primary 4 
by the time he was born
The second child was also a girl, she was in 
primary 2 by the time he was born
The third child was a boy He was six and about 
to be enrolled in primary by the time he was born
He was the child they had after his parents 
thought they were done with childbearing
He didn't know much of what transpired 
before they changed churches
He just knew that his mother took him and 
his elder ones to a church that was so different 
from the ones they were attending before
His mother told them as they grew that a
 prophet came to her in the market and 
told her she was supposed to be worshipping 
in a particular church
Her mother being a very superstitious person 
convinced her Father they needed to 
change churches
It wasn't as if her Father was a staunch Christian
He was brought a nominal Christian
They were attending one of the Orthodox 
churches
"A church where witches would comfortably 
sit beside the Reverend and even eat the 
communion" according to his mother
The new church was strange in many ways
It was a uniform-wearing church
He was too young to understand what was 
going on
He remembered the special soaps and the 
perfumes
Somewhere along the line, his mother became 
a prophetess
His Father went to the seminary of the church 
and became a parish shepherd
He was nine years old when his parents started 
a branch of the church
His Father was the Shepherd in Charge while his 
mother was the Parish prophetess
His mother was quite good in the science and 
the art of the supernatural
She would go into a trance for days and people 
afflicted with all sorts of troubles will come to 
consult her for spiritual guidance and direction
Most of those who met with her mother found 
her prophecy and guidance to be very accurate
Military men, policemen and other people from 
all walks of life also consulted with her mother
His mother consulted for many drug pushers,
they would bring the mule to her for special
spiritual work so that he or she would get to his
or her destination undetected
His  mother's prophetic ability became legendary
Apart from the ability to prophesy, his mother 
was also skilled in the art of preparing spiritual work
In the church, there were issues that had 
preordained secrets with which they were handled
The custodians of these secrets teach it to the 
younger ones both directly and indirectly
For example, if you go to any branch of their 
church with a particular problem and you were 
told to get a certain soap, candle, perfume, 
coconut, palm frond, etc for the spiritual work 
to be done, you can take the consultation note 
from that parish and visit any other parish, you 
will discover that it the same spiritual work 
you will be given
In fact, you can get a consultation prescription 
from one branch and do the spiritual work in 
another branch
Many people come to his mother because her prayers
seemed to be answered speedily
He remembered the case of a young man 
whose wife was snatched by an older man, the 
man ran to his mother and his mother gave him 
spiritual work to do
He did it and within three days his wife 
returned home
There was another case of a man who travelled 
abroad with the help of his mother's prayers and 
sent eight cars home after a year
The man sent the eight cars through his mother's 
younger brother who was also a member of the church
His mother's younger brother cleared the vehicles 
and sold them
His mother's younger brother lived large off the 
transactions, he even impregnated a lady
When the owner of the vehicles arrived home 
and asked for the vehicles, his mother's younger 
brother came running to his mother and spiritual 
work was done
The man forgot all about the vehicles
that was how effective spiritual work is
The djinns his mother had access to were 
over two hundred
He had never seen any face to face but sometimes 
he would feel their presence
His mother would call them by name and act as if 
they were visible to everybody
Sometimes she would say "Michael, that was not 
the discussion we had"
Or "Kolea, don't forget we are doing warfare work of 
seven elders tonight, please make sure 
you are around"
HIs Father's eyesight suddenly developed 
a problem
He was in his early fifties when the problem started
It forced his father into retirement
He became a full-time shepherd
His mother became the breadwinner of the family 
People do not consult blind pastors for counsel, 
no matter how respected they are
But people will consult a prophet even if the 
prophet is mad
One day when he was in SS 1, he returned home from 
school and instead of heading to the church as he 
usually does he went straight home
He took the key from under the flower pot and 
tried to open the door
To his surprise, the door was not locked
He walked in, changed his uniform and suddenly 
heard strange sounds
in his mother's room
He walked towards the room and parted 
the curtain
He saw his mother and his older brother, 
having sex!
His mother was saying "Jara mo, Jara Mo goke, 
po ogo re fun mi"
meaning "Put your back into it and climb upwards, 
vomit your glory unto me"
They didn't see him
He sneaked out of the house and went straight 
back to church
When he got to church he found his father, seated 
on the bench
Since the eye problem started, his father's ears 
had become much sharper
His Father heard him and asked him to come 
closer
He didn't want to say anything
But the thing blurted out of his mouth
"Father, I saw my Brother and Mummy in 
the bed, doing ...."
His Father shushed him!
His Father in a trembling voice said "How did 
you think I became blind? You must not 
repeat this to anybody! Don't let your 
mother know what you saw! Do you 
want to become blind?
He got the message
Both his elder sisters and brother had become 
prophets in the church by this time
His brother had learnt some little tricks 
from his mother
If his brother wanted to sleep with any girl
All he had to do was touch the girl or ask the 
girl to run an errand for him
The girl would lose her senses until he was 
done with her
He had done it even to many married women
His mother used to laugh and tell him
 "O si n k'ose lowo"
Meaning you're still a learner
His elder sisters were not any better
They could sleep with anything that says "come"
He lost count of the number of boyfriends they had
Eventually, his oldest sister got pregnant for 
a man operating a tow-truck
He didn't really marry her because he was 
already married
She stayed at home with them but the man comes 
around often to give her 
money for upkeep and feeding of the baby girl 
she had for him
His second older sister also got pregnant, 
she was in school when it happened,
she returned home from the Polytechnic she 
was attending one day and said 
she was no longer interested in schooling
She said she was pregnant and getting 
married
The man she married was only five years 
younger than their father
The man already had three wives
She also stayed at home with her baby while 
the man comes around once or twice a month 
to see her and the child
As he grew he got a better picture of things
His mother pimps out his sisters to some of her 
spiritual clients 
It was like having a temple priestess in pagan 
worship
The customers who get this service are those 
in need of certain spiritual fortifications 
against sexual entrapment from other women 
they have sexual intercourse with, any diabolical 
power aimed at doing them bodily harm and 
also if they are in need of Spiritual power, 
financial breakthrough and sex-related 
afflictions!
His sisters would go into a trance just before 
the intercourse so that the men would sleep 
with the spirit, they have invoked into their 
body for the occasion
He found a notebook with his mother's handwriting 
detailing what each client wanted and which of his 
sister was assigned the case and how much the 
client paid! 
He told his Father about the list and what he saw
His Father cried bitterly
His Father said his mother started doing the sexual 
ritual herself years before
His father said his mother started with a very 
powerful prophet she usually consults whenever 
she had a difficult case
The prophet was the one who taught her the 
basics of the spiritual work
The prophet was also the one who took her to 
another senior prophet
in a neighbouring country for ordination
His Father said his mother told him herself 
and warned him that if he dares challenge 
her on her sexual activities the djinns she was 
working with will kill him!
He had seen the power his mother wields in 
the spirit realm
His sudden blindness had taught him a 
huge lesson
His Father said he had to comply but he 
didn't know the practice would be passed 
down to his daughters
His Father begged him over and over not to 
succumb to his mother's ways
He was 19 by this time and had just gained 
admission into the University!
A few weeks before he resumed school, 
his Father died!
Because of the things he had seen, 
he had consciously withdrawn himself from 
active church or spiritual works
He started dodging church services on 
Sundays and on weekdays by pretending to be 
studying for his University admission 
examinations
He would be the first child in the family to 
even attempt
His brother didn't even attempt to write any 
examination, he barely managed to graduate
 from secondary school
He got a part-time job at a yoghurt factory and 
was also making some money with his 
prophetic gift
The burial was an opportunity for his mother 
to make some money
He didn't say a word to anybody
He knew his mother saw his insistence on 
University education as a waste of time
His mother invited all her clients
She also did some spiritual work to ensure that 
her clients were very generous
She had a client who deals in textile materials
The client told him how his mother did a 
spiritual work for her that turned her from a 
petty trader to a big-time textile merchant! 
The client said her mother gave her a bottle 
of water to sprinkle in her shop and it drew 
customers from far near but more importantly, 
"could you believe that the manufacturers would 
supply me clothes and they would forget to ask 
me to pay!"
I am talking about hundreds of thousand worth 
of textile materials!
He took the advantage to inform the client about 
his admission and the client graciously gave him 
some money
This was how he went about during the party to 
raise some money for his schooling
Two days after the funeral he left home, this was 
the year 2008
He had promised his Father he would find a way 
to liberate himself
The school offered it to him
He did everything to raise money in school
He started a business centre and did 
other odd jobs
He managed to graduate in 2013
But since then things had been extremely though
Everywhere he went, he was told he had 
to go back home
"Your mother is angry, your mother is hurt, 
go back home, get naked and beg your 
mother to release you!" was the message he 
got from a prophet whom he went to for 
consultation
He was still attending a uniform wearing church
That was all he knew
The prophets dont even see him whenever 
they are seeing visions
When he approached them with his issues, 
he got the "go back home treatment"
Then he met the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
It was a chance meeting in a taxify
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt was going to 
Lagos Island
He was the driver
He heard the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt praying 
with somebody over the phone
Praying in tongues
When the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt was done
He turned to Him and said "Sir, are you a pastor?"
Brother in Jeans and T-shirt: No, please
He: Sir, when you were praying, i felt vibrations 
all over my body just as i used to feel vibrations in 
my body when I am around spiritual people
Brother in Jeans and T-shirt: Have you been 
around spiritual people a lot?
He: Sir, you cant believe it! My daddy was a pastor, 
my mummy and two sisters are prophetesses 
and my elder brother is a prophet! I grew up in 
the middle of spirituality
I know spiritual people sir
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt: You grew up 
in a uniform wearing church
He: Yes sir, how do you know?
Brother in Jeans and T-shirt: I spent eight years 
in that church and I saw some strange and 
demonic things! 
He: Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Sir, can I park for a 
minute?
Brother in Jeans and T-shirt: Yes, you can
He parked and he cried for a long time, then 
he said "Do you remember that 
Denzel Washinton movie in which he was killing
people all over Argentina? "Man on fire"?
That's how I feel! I want to go home and kill all
my family members and then kill myself!
They are all evil! Evil!! EVIL!!! Then he told 
his story!
He had bottled it in for years afraid nobody 
would believe him
"Sir, I studied electrical engineering, my life 
has been locked up, please help me beg God 
to set me free! This Taxify that i am driving, a 
friend of mine owned the car, he went for an 
interview somewhere and as soon as i dropped 
him off, i decided to do some runs till about 12 
noon when i will pick him up. My friend had been 
driving the taxify for a while to keep body and soul 
together! I have nothing to show for my 32 years of
 existence sir, nothing " He cried
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt told him 
about Jesus
You have to walk away from everything 
you thought you knew
You have to come into the light
You have to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit
You have to walk in the light as He is the light
"I am willing sir", he cried
The prayed together, he received Jesus Christ 
as His Lord and saviour and he began to pray 
in tongues
That same night, his mother died!
He called the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt 
"Sir, I just got the call that she is dead! My mother! 
Yes! My mother is dead and she has not forgiven 
me or undo all the things she did to me! Is my life 
not totally ruined like this?
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt told him to watch 
how his life would transform under the guidance of 
the Holy Spirit
Just keep your fellowship with the Father intact, 
let nothing come between you and the Holy Spirit 
and see what will happen
He believed
The Holy Spirit showed up
He got a job at a local engineering firm 
on a part-time basis that month
Two months later he got a better job at a 
huge project somewhere on Lagos Island
He got married in March 2019
His sisters and elder brother are the ones 
running the church at the moment!
We are all praying for a total liberation
of the other members of the family!

PS: This event happened in Iwo, Osun state 
and Lagos Nigeria
There is only one name by which we might be 
saved
It is the name of Jesus
No matter how far gone into the occult you are
You can turn around today
No matter how far gone the occultic had affected 
your life
It can be reversed today
No matter the power of the spell that you 
might think you are under
The name of Jesus cures them all
No all who call him Lord or pray in his name 
are his
Forsake darkness today and come into the 
light
For those using the name of Jesus as a cover to 
do devilish divinations
Divination is not of God
A day of recompense is coming
Finally, please stop sleeping around! Some people 
have slept with demonic beings and are spreading
all sorts of pollution around
Don't become a host to a demon! 
That sex might cost you more than a contraceptive!
