Reset
She was practically forced into marriage
at the age of 20!
She had no say in the matter, her parents
decided that she was old enough
Since she was a graduate and had all the right
assets to be a wife and mother, it was the next
logical step!
She was extremely beautiful!
Her husband was a lecturer
Their religion settled the union
Her husband was a hardliner
She was too beautiful to be exposed
to other men
She was tucked in the house as a full
housewife!
She was brought up in a very simple home
and she knew how to manage a home!
She got pregnant the very first month
after she got married
By the age of twenty-six, she had delivered
her fourth child
The problem they had was economic
He was not making enough money to cater
for the needs of the family!
If she didn’t sneak to the hospital for family
planning, they would have had more children
and suffer even more!
Things were so bad that she sometimes had
to borrow salt and match sticks from her
neighbours!
The children were malnourished and lagging
behind academically because they had to
attend the government school.
Her husband couldn’t afford the fees
for private schools!
They were a charity case
It wasn’t the life she bargained for
It wasn’t the reality she desired
She bore it patiently, hoping things
will turn around
Then the universities went on strike,
her husband’s meager salary stopped
coming
Things got remarkably worse!
She went to see her elder sister at her
place of work
Her elder sister was a banker
She wanted to ask her elder sister for a loan,
something to keep body and soul together
Her elder sister introduced her to the staff
members of the bank
Immediately the manager saw her
He offered her a job!
He had some big fishes he wanted to
land as customers of the bank
He had been in the banking business
for years
He knew she would make a good bait
with some training!
She accepted the offer immediately
When she got home she informed her
husband of her good fortune!
Her husband protested
She didn’t say a word!
Nothing changed that week
Her children cried themselves to sleep
due to hunger
She couldn’t imagine turning down a
job in favor of begging for money
The following Monday, she dressed up
and resumed at the bank
It was the sensible thing to do!
Her boss put her in the car and told her
to act as his personal assistant for two
weeks while she learned on the job!
She was a head-turner and her boss
took her to the whales!
When they were done that week, her boss
told her she would be given a ten percent
commission on every account she lands
minus her salary!
The whales were moving serious money!
All she had to do was follow up all the
people he took her to!
She did the follow up
She landed some accounts
Things got better
Her husband grew distant
They were not in the union for
love and he believed she had dishonoured
him by getting a job
She was just determined to give her children
the best!
Within a year, she had landed several
accounts worth billions
The CEO of the bank asked her to be calling
him by his first name
She was that good!
Of course, she had to make compromises
She followed a billionaire to Dubai once
just to close some deals
She had to travel to the UK several times
She moved to Abuja with her children
Her husband remarried!
The problem on the home front was inevitable
She couldn’t go back to square one and
her husband couldn’t deal with her
newfound independence!
She was a money magnet
Relatives and friends flocked to her for help
She was extremely generous!
Her children were placed in the best schools
She gave them the kind of life she believed
they deserved!
Her life was producing the right fruit as
she desired!
It was her golden era
It lasted for fourteen years
A week after she clocked forty
She fell ill and was rushed to the hospital
The doctors did a barrage of tests
It was discovered that she was HIV positive!
It was a piece of shocking news!
What!
Her relatives saw it as her death sentence
They rushed to her
House
They looted and plundered!
All her jewelry
All the cash they could find
Her cars
They sold everything without as much
as a thought for her welfare or
the future of her children!
The doctors had told her it was not a
death sentence
She didn’t believe them
She just wanted to die!
When her children came to the hospital
and told her what her relatives did!
She realized she would have suffered
in vain if she gave up
She evaluated her life
She decided she had a lot to live for
She braced herself
She used her drugs and listened to the doctors
She was discharged within a month!
As soon as she got out of the hospital,
she sold all her properties
She opened a trust fund for each of her
children and secured their future
She kept the rest of the money for herself!
She said she could understand the wicked
behavior of her relatives
If she wasn’t there for them!
But she was there for them, providing for
families and even paying for their religious
pilgrimages
Since they chose to be slimy, she would also
keep her fortunes to herself!
In 2019, at the age of 45, she met a suitor
A believer who got widowed
Some years before
He really loved her and asked
to marry her
She told him her condition
He told her about Jesus and the power
of the Holy Spirit
She believed!
She accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord
and saviour and was filled with the Holy
Spirit
Sometime later that year, they registered
to get married
The church required that they submit their
HIV test results!
They had the test done
When they got the test, she saw “non reactive”
She wondered if the test result was a mistake
She went to another hospital and did it again
The result was the same!
She had somehow been healed of the disease
The Lord Jesus had visited her with a
reset button!
She got to start all over!
PS: Do not despair
Do not lose hope
In Jesus, we have eternal life
Eternal life breaks the yoke of sickness!
Adam didn’t have eternal life because
he was in sin
Jesus took away sin and gave eternal life
to us!
Eternal life is our guarantee of divine health!
