Subterfuge

Her first semester at the University
was spent in a haze
Everything moved so fast, too fast
One minute she was having her
valedictory service in the secondary
school
The next she was doing her registration
After this, she had her matriculation
Her hostel was so far from her department
Getting used to the school environment
took some time
She was overwhelmed
She was drowning in activities
Catching up with lecturers to sign course
forms and attend lectures at the same time
was like running in two directions at the 
same time
The university system was so different
She needed time to figure things out
She really needed someone who understood
the system and could help her figure
things out
SHe didn't get any
At a point, she just sat in her room
She lost the drive to run the race
She lost interest in everything
The next thing she knew, they were
writing tests and examinations
She didn't even have a proper note
for any of the classes
Perhaps she was lazy or unprepared
for life on the campus
The things she enjoyed most that
sememster was hanging out with
some guys she met at the cinema
They made her forget her worries
They made her laugh and believe
the sun still shines
She wrote whatever she could in the
examinations
The results came out
She failed woefully!
She didnt even have an E
It was an all "F" result
Her father almost had a heart attack
What!
What!!
What!!!
She almost certainly had no excuse
What was she going to say?
That she missed her secondary school?
She wasn't prepared to be thrust into
the university?
That she hated her course of study?
She had no excuse!
She had wasted the first semester!
The University authority advised her
to withdraw
She had 0.00 GPA
Her result must have been the worst
in the history of the University
It was a terrible season
Her father took her home
She was seventeen and she had failed
woefully on her first attempt at
adulthood!
She was literarily forgotten in the 
house
Nobody said anything 
Her father was heartbroken
When she got the chance to write another
entrance examination
She bought the form with her savings
She read until her eyes cried for sleep
She took public transport to the
examination venue
She wrote with determination and 
cleared the papers
She gained admission into the
same university
She got her second chance!!
Even her father was impressed
This time around she was admitted to
study law
It had always been her dream to be
a lawyer
She promised herself to do better
She was prepared both emotionally
and psychologically
She had a lot of grounds to cover!
As soon as the semester began
She raced!
She studied like no man's business
She sat for her tests and examinations
Even the lecturers identified her as
a potential chartbuster
When the results were released
They couldn't find hers!
What!
All she saw were blank spaces aginst
her name
BLANK SPACES!
She ran to the faculty, then to the department
She wrote letters, met with the dean
Met with her HOD, went to the record's office
It was as if she didn't sit for the examinations
at all!
It was a season of darkness!
One night during the whole missing
script scenario
She had a visitor in her room
The visitor was one of her classmates
The visitor told her about an organization
Not a cult or anything that dramatic
But an organization of weight movers
The visitor told her if she joined the
organization, her issues will be resolved
and she would graduate with whatever
grade she wanted!
All she had to do to join was make a blood
covenant with the group and participate
in meetings!
She might have to make contributions
but it would be nothing outrageous or
steep!
If she failed to join, she would be frustrated
out of the school and harassed off the face
of the earth if possible
The group had been tracking her for some
time!
She was desperate at the time
She didn't even take time to consider it
She agreed and had the blood covenant 
She became a witch!
Not a "costume wearing witch" or a
wannabe forming to be a "wicked"!
She was in the real thing
Her results were released two days
after she joined!
She had the best result in the department!
There were so many downsides to being
a witch
She hated everyday and all the things
they had to do
Witches are evil by default
They delight in inflicting misery and 
injury on others
They are bound and so they delight in
keeping others in bondage!
Five years sped by
She graduated and proceeded to law
school
She felt she would be done with all the
nonsense once she graduated
But she wasn't
She was still summoned for meetings
and participated out of many evil things
out of fear for her life
She wanted out but she wouldn't
dare try to leave for fear of the repercussion
She had seen others suffer
She just needed to find a clean way out
She reached out to the brother
in jeans and T-shirt on Twitter
She wrote "I cannot tell you the
problem here sir, we need to meet 
one on one! 
Kindly tell me when and where!"
They met at his office
She had a written letter with her
She handed it to him
She explained everything in the
letter
She said "I cannot explain this aloud
because I was told if i repeat it to
anyone I will die instantly"
The Brother in Jeans and t-shirt
laughed
He told her to stand to her feet
He led her to Christ!
He served her communion!
They joined hands together
He said "I want to fill you with the 
Holy Spirit"
She nodded 
He began to pray in the Holy Spirit
She attempted to pray
The drama began!
It was as if something was stuck in her
throat
She began to choke!
He didn't let go of her hands
Her eyes bulged, her breath shortened
He said "Come out of her now!"
She fell on her knees and screamed!
It was hoarse and terrible
After some minutes, she recovered!
She began to pray in the spirit
She had been set free!
They prayed together for some time
She asked him afterward if she should
put her mind at rest about any
retaliation or repercussion
He told her the record of her activities
had been nailed to the cross and 
blotted out totally!
She believed!
Two weeks later, she sent him a message
via Whatsapp
She said it was as if she was never a
witch
She slept peacefully for the first time
in many years, her heart was full of joy
and she had not been harrassed in any
capacity!
Not even once!
WOW!

Ps: Isaiah 49: 24 Can plunder be taken 
from warriors, or captives be rescued 
from the fierce[c]?
25 But this is what the Lord says:
“Yes, captives will be taken from 
warriors, and plunder retrieved from 
the fierce;
I will contend with those who contend 
with you, and your children I will save.
26 I will make your oppressors eat 
their own flesh; they will be drunk on 
their own blood, as with wine.
Then all mankind will know 
that I, the Lord, am your Savior
your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
 

The event happened in Ibadan and Lagos
