Queen of Fortune

Her parents suddenly woke her up 
around 1 AM
when she was fifteen years old
Her mother tapped her gently on 
the leg
When she opened her eyes
She was shocked to see her mother
Her mother smiled and told her 
to relax
Her mother said "Oro wa"
Meaning "We have a discussion"
She propped herself up
She couldn't think of anything 
they have to discuss in the middle 
of the night
She sat up on her bed
Then her father walked into the room!
WOW!
Her father was a strong figure 
of authority
A retired military officer with 
strong
connections with the political 
ruling class
They were a royal family
Traditionally, her father could 
aspire to be the local King of 
their hometown or one of the high 
chiefs
But her father had his eyes on a 
higher political position
He was contesting to be the governor 
of their state
The road to his emergence as the 
candidate of his party was ladened 
with all sorts of challenges
He was rarely at home
They were right in the middle of 
the campaign
And even though their state was 
not the biggest
The meetings and rallies came in 
thick and fast
She greeted her Father
She was his favourite
His last child and the one born 
after they had closed the door 
on having babies
Her mother usually explained 
the mystery surrounding her birth 
as the hand of God
"I never knew I was pregnant
After my sixth child, we agreed 
that we have had enough
I did the family planning thing 
in January
I chose the most effective method 
available
I woke up one September morning 
feeling very uncomfortable
When I got to the hospital, the 
doctors ran a lot of tests
One of the results led them to 
believe I was pregnant
I went for a pregnancy test and 
it was confirmed!
The family planning thing was 
still very intact and I was five 
months pregnant!
That was how you beat all the odds to
become our seventh child!"
She loved the story
It made her feel very special!
Her father didn't say much
Her father told her she would be 
going to their
home town with him at dawn
There was a ritual she must be 
a part of
A rulership crown she must wear
It is part of their family's 
tradition
Only virgins could wear it
And it had been revealed to him 
through divination that unless 
she wore the crown his efforts to 
become the governor would be in vain!
She nodded her head
What else could she do?
She was fifteen, a virgin, a daughter
and the beloved of her father
She really wanted him to become the
governor
It would do her family a lot of good
They were by no means poor but
power is another class of greatness
they deserved!
The next morning they went to the 
village
The ritual was done
It lasted seven days!
She was bathed in the local river 
by older women
She had incisions done all around 
her waist, her wrists and the 
middle of her head
She wore the copper crown and ate
the concoction that was given to her 
The chanted the incantations 
over and over again
She was told that she had become 
the queen of wealth and good 
fortune
There would be certain changes 
in her body
She should embrace them
She should follow her impulse and 
give in to her cravings, whatever 
they may be!
Royalty for her must be delinquent
Nobody questions a queen
She will be given anything she 
desired
All she was required to do was 
bless her father as soon as she 
woke up every morning!
They returned home after the ritual
She started blessing her father 
every morning
Whenever he was at home, he would 
come to her room and prostrate 
before her
She would call him by name and 
pronounce blessings upon him
Whenever he was away from home, 
he would place a call to her 
early in the morning
She would bless him over the phone
He stopped calling her by name
He called her "Yeye", meaning "Mother"
Within a month he emerged as the 
candidate for his party
Within six months he had won the 
election
She was his guardian spirit
She saw dangers ahead
She also saw opportunities
She saw friends and she saw foes
She was his most valuable advisor
The changes they told her to 
expect came
Her monthly period stopped coming
She filled out quickly and she 
started longing for sex in an 
unnatural manner
Her parents made a driver available 
to her and lots of money
She started clubbing and picking 
up guys just for sex
It was not her
It just felt as if she suddenly 
had a double personality disorder
One week she was the meek dove 
in her room watching movies and 
reading
The next she was all dressed up 
like a vixen
Hot like fire, looking for men 
to straddle
At seventeen she gained admission 
into the University
Her father had spent two years 
in office by this time
Before she left for school, the 
ritual was renewed
She was told the "missing menstruation"
would never return
She was also told she would never marry
or have children
 They told her the demonic sex drive
was normal
It was an expression of her spirit 
of dominion
She was advised to enjoy her life of
immense pleasure
Her parents told her she would never 
lack anything good all the days of 
her life
Her mother especially told her 
being a queen 
of fortune was more important than 
getting married and having children
The admission was very good for her
She had a change of environment
She also had a pool of virile 
young guys to pick from whenever 
she was in dominion mode!
She avoided relationships like a 
plague
She called those seeking to date 
her "Talkers"
She had a string of them!
But she had the "honey lickers"
Guys who knew what she was really 
about and made themselves available 
to meet her needs!
One evening in her third year, she 
was invited to a fellowship held by 
the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt!
The Holy Spirit started moving
She was always careful to sit at 
the back seats so that she can slip 
out of the church at her own 
convenience
She didn't know what happened
She found herself jumping, leaping 
and being pulled towards the altar 
just as he was praying in the spirit!
Her movement was wild, erratic 
and violent
He watched her for a while
The ushers were around her trying 
to prevent
her from injuring herself!
He laid his hand on her 
He didn't say a word
She stood for a few seconds 
and then she was
flung halfway through the crowd!
She laid on the floor till the 
end of the service
As she went home afterwards, 
wondering
what had happened to her
Her menstruation came
Just like that!
She called her father to tell 
him the news
He ordered the driver to pick 
her up from school immediately
When they got to her village, she 
was told
she was no longer useful as 
Queen of fortune
Her father didn't understand what 
had happened
The herbalists too found it to 
be a puzzle
They blamed it on her father's 
political enemies
Politicians are always trying 
to outdo each other in the quest 
for power
She returned to school a normal human
being
She met with the Brother in Jeans and 
T-shirt 
She explained what had happened
He led her to the Lord
She accepted the Lord Jesus as 
her Lord and saviour and was filled 
with the Holy Spirit
He father stopped calling her 
every morning
One year later, her father won 
a heavily rigged election
Months later, the election was 
overturned
in favour of her father's opponent

PS: The Holy Spirit is very wonderful
He corrects destinies set in the 
wrong direction
He alters the course of wickedness 
and breaks the yokes of affliction!
No matter what the burden is that 
you are carrying
No matter how deep you had gone 
If you come to him, he will seek you 
out and set you free
This event happened somewhere in Nigeria

When the spirit comes over your soul
When the spirit comes over your soul
You'd be changed
The glory will be revealed
When the spirit, comes over your soul!
Hallelujah!

You need the Holy Spirit!
Don't bear that burden alone
Why endure the pain and the 
torture
Why get tormented over and over
until you are sore of living
If you reach out, The Holy Spirit
is very willing
Please reach out today!
