Taming the Warlock

admin Jul 20, 2020 2777 0

Growing up in that particular village
and family exposed them to diabolical
realities quite early
Their father was a herbalist, not one of
those fake ones who perform tricks and
play Russian roulette with people's lives
He was the real deal
The type that inherited powers and yet
travel often to many villages and towns
to learn from other herbalists and sorcerers
and collect their books and/or knowledge
quickening charms in order to grow in the
business.
For their father, knowledge was power and
power was money
Their father was determined to pay any price
to gain knowledge so that he could prosper
There was a rumour that their father's first
child who has a condition that made her
unable to sit by herself, talk or function
as a human being was not born that way,
according to their father's first wife, their
father was a bricklayer as at when she
married him and they were very poor
One day, their father told her he was
traveling to Ekiti to see some people who
could show him the way out of poverty
According to the woman, the day their
father returned from Ekiti, their child
developed a strange ailment and
within a week became twisted inside out
The woman was so sure their father had
used their daughter for some form of ritual
that she moved out of the house and
divorced their father immediately
Their father does not talk about the episode
at all
He does not allow the woman to do
anything with the family even though she
had one other child for him who was supposed
to be his firstborn son
They were all forbidden to have anything to
do with the woman and her son
Although the woman had remarried and had
other children for another man, she didn't
keep away from their father and family for
reasons best known to her
She would come for family functions involving
their extended families and play her duty as
part of the household wives
They later realized that she was doing
this because their father had become
wealthy and she wanted to secure her
children's inheritance from their father
Their father was known among the initiates
and his customers as Ekun (The Tiger),
this was due to his spiritual exploits which
were obvious for all to see
Their father considered his work as
legitimate and something to be proud of
right from childhood, all the children and
his father's wives were exposed to their
father's works
Their father as their teacher and coach
They were his production line
He taught them how to differentiate one
leaf or plant from the other, one animal
or insect from the other and how to
prepare all the materials for "medicine",
concoction, sacrifice and protection
As they grew older, their father
systematically exposed them to more
When he was nine years old, he was
exposed to his first serious bout of seeing
beyond the physical realm.
He had overheard somewhere that the
rheum in the eye of a dog could make
one see beyond the physical realm
It was a case of curiosity and trying to
be like his father
His father's mouth was never silent
He was always chanting something or
saying something under his breath
They all believe it was an extramundane
communication of sorts between his father
and some extra-terrestrial powers
He knew his father was always seeing things
He had heard things moving of their own
accord in his father's power room before
and felt a sudden chill in the house
sometimes for no reason
He got some rheum off his dog's eyes and
put it on his eyes in the evening, he had
nightmares all night
When he woke up in the morning, the
nightmares didn't go away
He kept seeing things everywhere
Strange things... Like walking flowers
and flying snails
It was horrible
He had almost run mad before he confessed
what he did
His father washed his eyes with some
secret water and chanted some incantations
upon him He slept off and when he woke up
things were restored to normal
His father wasn't mad with him
In fact, the next day, his father took him
into the power room, sat him down and
asked him to describe the things he saw
His father said "The demons work in
mysterious ways and can sometimes
show to children what adults have been
praying and working hard to see for years"
The rheum thing didn't work for the other
children they all saw how his father treated
him like some royalty and tried it to get
some attention too
It didn't work It made some of them accuse
him of lying
His father told him they were just being
envious
His father said he had tried it too and didn't
see anything but he knows the demons
favour some people more than others
He was the only one allowed to enter his
father's power room to sweep, clean and
prepare the place before his father begins
his daily consultations from that day
He was the warlock, the one the demons
favoured far above the rest!
His father's clients came from all over
The lazy poor aiming to get rich quick
The hardworking poor praying for favor
The average hoping to breakout of obscurity
Parents with troubled children
The afflicted, the ambitious, politicians,
policemen and soldiers seeking protection
from untimely death in the line of duty
Women looking for children, husbands,
jobs, enchanted substance to hypnotize
and fleece men of their hard-earned
money and so on
They came from all walks of life
His father told him specialization was a
limitation
The crowd was a testament to
the potency of his depth as a sorcerer
He started learning the chants and
incantations
When he turned 15 he was awakened
one night (This wasn't
strange as his father usually did one
concoction or the other for the family
as prescribed during his consultations)
but it was different
Curiously, the only other person
awakened to partake of the ritual was
his 12 years old sister
The first daughter of his father's third wife
The woman was known to be a witch and
given that she had not done any
extra-mundane feat like him, he wondered
why she was chosen until their father
began to say some incantations on the
eggs they were being fed
They were told to swallow the eggs whole
(It must not touch their teeth)
They both did When they were done,
his father told the two of them that they
had been chosen to work as partners
as they learn the work from him
Their father made them swear never to
deny each other anything or allow
anything come in-between them
They swore an oath to it
From that day, their father started giving
them tasks to accomplish
Training them to see the beyond and
open portals for divination and medium
activities
Their father told them he paid a lot of
money and trades a lot of influence daily
with other spiritual power brokers because
he started alone without any support
It was one of the reasons he married a witch,
so that his negotiations with other power
brokers can be easier
His step-sister was supposed to be his
leverage
He was supposed to be the heir apparent
to the throne of his father
Everything was going smoothly
He was respected, even feared by many
Until his sister met the Brother in Jeans and
T-shirt on a trip to Lagos in May 2018
Their father had told the two of them
that the deities would always demand
something for something from them
They couldn't get anything free
They both had also experienced this
When his sister turned seventeen she
started having a strange dream
In the dream, she saw herself and her
brother having sex in a pool of blood
She had the dream several times
She asked her mother what it meant
Her mother said it might be the deities
preparing her for what was to come
She and her brother might have to have
sex to be empowered fully for their
journey in the occult
The thought didn't sit well with her
but she never told anybody her
misgivings on the issue
She was just hoping it wouldn't come
to that even though she was convinced
it would most likely be required
That year she gained admission to
one of the polytechnics and went
to shop for clothes, beddings and
other things that she would take to
school
One of their cousins living in Arepo
offered to go shopping with her
They went shopping on a Friday morning
Their house was located three buildings
away from a church in Arepo
The church was holding a vigil
That night, his sister could not sleep
She said something was just stirring
in her spirit and she was very restless
So she got out of bed and dressed up
The next thing she remembered was
walking into the church
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt was
ministering
That was all!
Her sister gave her life to Christ and
was delivered from witchcraft
It felt like being robbed in the dream
and waking up to find the said property
had disappeared
When his sister returned home, everything
had changed
She was singing and jumping everywhere
like a bozo
It was as if she had been infected
with a strange atmosphere
Everything she touched got contaminated
Their father was almost 70 years old at
the time and afflicted with stroke
It was finally time for him to take the
reins and his wing-woman was clipped
by one pastor
His father had always told him witchcraft
was unreliable because it was not built on
knowledge but on sheer wickedness
It is a realm that one can be invited into
or taken out of by a superior power's whim
A sorcerer is no witch
He is a harnesser of power from several
sources through knowledge and its
applications
He had seen Christians before, several
Christians
Many of them, even pastors, consulted
his father but he had never seen anybody
who could do what was done to his sister
Take away her powers and leave her sane
and bubbling about as if she had no care
in the world?
He felt he needed to meet the pastor,
know what he was really about
Find out how deep he was spiritually
Everything his father had was fast
turning to dust
The stroke killed his father's business
The conversion of his sister truncated
his father's handover plans
He called his cousin in Arepo and made
some inquiries
He got the phone number of the brother
in Jeans and T-shirt
He called and got an appointment
He prepared deliberately
He did many protective charms and
incantations
He also took along deadly rings and
charmed belts
They met on a Wednesday at the office
of the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
in Magodo, Lagos
As soon as he got into the Teen's church
where they met
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt walked
up to him and hugged him like an old
friend
He said "The Holy Spirit told me you need
a hug badly"
He couldn't explain it
He started to cry like a baby
The incantations faded, his malicious
intention faded, he just cried
Afterward, he fell on his knees and
asked the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
to pray for him
He became a born again Christian and
was filled with the Holy Spirit
Perhaps he lost his courage or was
overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit
He couldn't say
He didn't mention what happened
to the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
until a week later via Whatsapp chat
He was shocked that neither of them
was affected by the charms on him
especially because they hugged for
a while before praying
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt
told him idols are nothing in the Kingdom
of God's own son, Jesus Christ and the
same goes for charms, incantations,
spells and so on
The Bible says "Nothing shall by any
means hurt you"

PS: I was told there was a cake maker
who follows my stories and believes she
can use diabolical powers to see the
future
I saw this discussion yesterday on a
Whatsapp page and it made me laugh
There is a booby trap in this story for
her
I said it over the piece as i wrote it
She will lose that ability from today
and so will any other who deliberately
court demonic pathways as an access
into the extra-mundane
Nothing of such works for you again
It shall remain forever as i have decreed
Jesus loves you and wants to empower
you
Come to Him today

GSW's notes: Christians should only
discuss one power
That is the power of the Holy Spirit
Acknowledging even faintly the claims
of another to "power" is buying the
person's lies
The brother and sister whose story
I wrote are part of the PSSBC family
and are growing daily in the Lord
These were vessels deliberately
prepared for darkness and yet
hijacked by the Holy Spirit without
as much as a whimper from hell!
Don't be quick to believe people's
claims to any power or repeat it
even in casual talks
There is no other power in heaven
and on earth and underneath the
earth apart from the Name of JESUS!
