The Outsider

War

He was born into a reality of war
He couldn't remember a time in his
childhood when he was not being
carried from one place to the other
for spiritual fortification or empowerment
His mother lived in perpetual fear
of losing him
She was the third wife in a very diabolic
family and the first son to give birth
to a male child that lived
The other wives were all witches
Killing their children was a sort of
sport for them
The children that survived were the
ones bargained for in the witchcraft
coven by their mothers or the ones
who were born into the world as
demonic agents with mixed spirits!
His father was also very diabolical
His father married witches deliberately
His father's mother was also a witch
while his father's father was a warlock
His Father was the head of the Oro cult
in their village and one of the foremost
herbalists/witch doctor
His father needed the witches to be
on his side
It was one of his father's secrets of power
Their family was known as the local smith's
family
His father rarely worked as a smith
Anyday his father sat to do smelting work
The whole city will brace for an outbreak
of one infection or the other
His father was that powerful
The local chiefs and King of their kingdom
heeded to the words of his father 
with fear
His father could decimate a thriving
kingdom with a few incantations
In all his father had six daughters
All of them were over twenty years
older than him
All the other children his father had
died mysteriously
None of the wives knew his father
was sleeping with his mother until
it was too late
His mother was just sixteen year
old when she got pregnant with him
She was the daughter of the locust
bean seller
As soon as she was confirmed to be
pregnant, she was sent to Lagos
to live with a distant relative
His birth was shrouded in secrecy
His father was eighty years old
when he was born
His father was eighty-six years old
when he was finally taken home
to meet him
His father died at age ninety-seven!
He was seventeen years old at the
time but his life had been a total hell!
He had been to many grooves, many
spiritualists and herbalists
He had eaten so many concoctions,
he had been cooked in black pots
with his clothes torn off symbolizing
tearing off the garment of death!
His mother was always having evil
dreams
Every evil dream will lead to another
round of consultation, fortification,
spiritual work and sacrifices
According to his mother, all his elder
sisters were witches who have sworn
to make sure he does not survive.
Academically he was very poor
He was battling too many demonic
realities to concentrate on his
education
After his father died, he inherited
a huge plantation
The plantation was managed by his
mother's elder brother
The first lump sum he got from it
was very substantial
He traveled to the United Kingdom
with it
He needed to get far away from his
mother
She had become a big problem
He had begged her to remarry
She was in her thirties when his 
father died
She could have a life outside of him
She refused
She was always inventing new fears,
dreams and reasons why he was
not safe
He had nothing to show for his
life at the age of twenty
One of his mother's relatives, who
was a Secondary school principal
told him the only way to get his
mother off his back was to move 
far away
That was when the idea of leaving
the country occurred to him
He made inquiries and only told
his mother about it two days before
his departure
He told his mother he would be
gone for only a short while
His mother tearfully agreed
He traveled
When he got to the United Kingdom
He stayed with a family whose
phone number he was given by his
travel agent
He got a menial job and began to
adjust to the system
For the first time, he started making
sense of his own life
The family he stayed with was very
nice
They gave him boarding and food
for almost a year until he decided
by himself, he wanted to leave
He made some other friends at work
He moved in with them
There were about ten of them in
the mini flat
Some of them were fetish
He avoided spiritual things like
plague
He believed he had been through
his fair share of sacrifices and all that
But somehow, they all did better than him
In ten years, some of them built houses,
set up businesses, got married, moved on
to higher and better lifestyles
But he remained in one spot
His job at the metro-station was all
he had
He paid his bills and lived a quiet life
but he was stuck
He made efforts to get diplomas and
write tests
He did many things to improve his lot
in life
Nothing worked
He even thought of getting married
but something always went wrong
He didn't get his citizenship papers
He practically made no progress in life
After twelve years, he visited an Apostle
One of those he has heard so much
about
The Apostle prayed for him and told
him his glory was being held by witches
He had to do a 21 days prayer and fasting
he had to bathe with soaps and eat food
without salt
Wow!
He did it
He paid the Apostle fifty pounds as 
consultation fees
Nothing changed
For the next year, he visited all sorts of
spiritualists and prophets
He got messages of impending deaths,
war, sicknesses, witchcraft affliction,
demonic oppression, foundation issues,
negative spiritual pattern, ancestral spirit,
diabolic heritage and so on
Everybody diagnosed him of one thing
or the other but there was no solution
Then his mother fell ill
He had to return home
He returned home with nothing 
It was almost as if he went abroad to
waste thirteen years
As soon as his mother saw him, she
recovered
He promised her he wouldn't go far
away again
His mother's elder brother had been
faithful in managing his inheritance
He met a huge sum of money in his
fixed deposit account
He decided he would start a business
in the country
He had enough to establish his dream
business
He ordered all the equipment he needed
He started a cleaning services business
The business made money the first year
but things started slowing down in the
first quarter of the second year
He pumped in more money and made a lot
of noise but the patronage continued
to decline
His mother suggested that he should do
some more spiritual consultation
He simply refused to do so 
It was all he had known and it has never
produced any result
He lived abroad and saw people who
didn't believe in God or devils prosper
Why should he be a failure despite
all the consultations and prayers
and sacrifices
It was a puzzle to him
The issue of marriage too was a dud
He had met many women but all he
saw was their eyes on his money
and the fact that he just returned
from abroad
They were the "Take me out and
spoil me" type
He wasn't interested in such
He saw some testimonies of the power
of the Holy Spirit on Gbengawemimo.com
He decided to send him a mail
He wrote everything he could and
sent it to his email
All he wanted to know was why
those who know God and worship him
suffer while unbelievers excel in life?
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt called
him a few hours later
They had a lengthy conversation
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt told
him he was going about everything
the wrong way and with the wrong 
mindset
God is not to be worshipped through
a proxy or through material mediums
"If you give your life to Christ and live
by the principles of the Word of God
as led by the Holy Spirit, you are
guaranteed success in life. In fact, you
get to reign in life!" 
He had never heard stuff like that
before
None of the prophets, apostles and
spiritualists told him about giving his
life to Jesus and getting filled with
the Holy Spirit
Wow!
They met the following day
He had given his life to Jesus over the
phone the previous day but wanted to
meet the brother in Jeans and T-shirt.
They met and prayed together
He got filled with the Holy Spirit
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt told
him to shape his reality in Christ by the
word of God in His mouth!
He said "Amen"
One year later he opened his fifth
branch in Abuja and got married
to a beautiful lawyer he met in
Ghana
His life has climbed upward
and forward steadily

PS: Being a christian is not an
"I have accepted Jesus Christ as
my Lord and saviour" matter
It is an "I am led by the Holy Spirit"
reality
It is important to become Born Again
It is more important to live the
Reality of the Born Again life
You were called into the Kingdom
to become an asset 
Many are sitting down waiting for
miracles when they ought to be
working miracles!
You have everything in Christ
Dont be inside while acting like an
outsider!
