Unbinding Mo

She thought it was a joke at first 
They had agreed they would meet at a 
neutral place to sort out their issues 
Their relationship was going nowhere and 
they needed to stop pretending things will 
work out 
She hadn't met anyone else who was remotely 
interested in her but she had made up her mind 
to end it 
He was a good man at the beginning 
That beginning was over four years before
things petered out 
They met at the marble company where she 
was working as the assistant storekeeper 
He was working for a furniture manufacturing
Firm and processing some marble works with 
her company
He took some interest in her 
She was open at the time to any relationship 
She was just 22 and wasn't in any way ready 
to get into anything serious 
She had been in two relationships before then 
but the two ended as soon as they started 
The first lasted one day 
The guy asked her out
She said no 
She had gained admission into the polytechnic 
through the Pre-ND programme and was 
given a year to produce her complete WAEC 
requirements 
She had written WAEC thrice by that time 
and the last thing on her mind was a boyfriend 
She needed to break that hoodoo 
They met at the GCE examination centre 
She didn't even listen to whatever he was saying 
He talked and talked (What they call toasting) 
He thought an argument would do it 
When she left the examination centre, he followed 
her 
She was too polite to raise her voice at him 
but she needed him to leave 
So she told him yes, just to get rid of him 
He left right at the gate of her father's house and 
she was very convinced he would have followed 
her in or keep banging the gate if she didn't say 
yes to him 
She never saw him again after that day 
Perhaps he knew the Yes was not authentic 
She passed her exams and was able to save 
her neck from the hangman's noose 
She would have been thrown out of the school 
until she got it 
The second guy asked her out just after she 
completed her direct entry into the university 
She resumed with the fresh students one month 
before the stale students resumed 
Some of the stale students resumed early too 
Many of them to fish for babes among the new 
students 
She had seen the rush in her previous school and 
she knew how it works 
Most of the guys already have girlfriends and were 
only looking for temporary pleasure 
When he approached her, she knew instinctively 
that he was not the kind of guy who would be 
unattached 
He was in his final year but he was mature and 
bold about her 
He didn't do any hide and seek stuff like the 
guys in her former school would do 
He was open and talked to her in the cafeteria, 
library, everywhere 
She started feeling safe and rethinking her initial 
assessment 
She deliberately waited until the stale students 
resumed before giving him a yes 
She wanted to be sure some girl wouldn't surface 
out of nowhere claiming him
She dated him for six months 
He finished his final exams 
They were talking about how to take things 
to the next level after he graduated 
The school organized a dinner for his set 
She started fretting about what to wear 
He told her unequivocally that he was not 
attending 
He said "The dinner is not important, I 
am traveling home" 
She tried everything she could to change his 
mind 
He was immovable 
She gave it up 
A few days later, she saw the dinner pictures at 
one of the photographer's stand on campus
She saw her man and his "Imported babe" 
from OAU
 It was like a hot knife was plunged into her heart 
Her legs could barely carry her as she cry-walked 
to his room 
She had not seen him since he told her he 
was traveling 
She was pinning and waiting for him so 
that they can spend his last few days on 
campus together 
When she got to his flat, she met them there 
His OAU babe with the Angelique Kidjo 
lowcut and the "matured" guy she was 
hoping to spend the rest of her life with 
The babe opened the door for her 
She told his babe she was asking for 
"Brother So and so" 
He heard her voice and rushed to the door 
She smiled meaningfully and left 
She knew she was the outsider 
He had been with the OAU lady for a long time 
They were closer in age and he had always 
been a little hazy with her when talking 
about the future 
She attributed that to the disparity in their ages 
and him being realistic 
It was a low blow
After that episode, she took a long break 
from relationships 
She hated the fact that she ignored her instincts 
and got scammed the way she did 
She knew she had more sense than that 
While many ladies were panicking about 
graduating without a steady relationship 
She thanked her stars
She was able to secure a job as soon as 
she left school 
It wasn't a high paying job but it kept her busy 
It is the most unnerving thing to be without a 
job and also be out of a relationship 
Most of her friends in that category were 
falling in and out of depression like a yo-yo
One of them, her closest friend started sleeping 
with a married man due to loneliness 
She said it was either she kept managing depression 
or desecrate someone else's marriage 
She loved herself and felt the latter was the better 
of two evils 
Her friend had no plans to marry the man or 
disturb his marriage 
It was only a biological and emotional thing 
She didn't fully understand it but her friend 
had always struggled with mental illness 
and if that would keep her sane, she couldn't 
judge 
Her friend's case made her job more precious 
to her 
She was able to meet and related to people 
every day 
The first thing he did after she agreed to his 
overtures was to introduce her to his mother 
Going by everything she had heard or read 
Mothers were usually the last entities to meet 
on the relationship agenda 
When she told him so, he said his mother must 
approve because he wasn't joking around 
He had a plan to marry within three years and 
he didn't want to get all emotionally involved 
with someone only for either parent to come up 
with stories when it was time to settle down 
She felt his argument was reasonable to a
level He was kind and attentive at the beginning 
He would drop her off at her office 
(It was close to his own) and pick her every evening 
They had dinner with his mother every Sunday 
evening 
He met her parents and they welcomed him 
with open arms 
Everything was as it should be but something 
wasn't clicking in her spirit 
She just felt something was seriously off 
They couldn't bond emotionally beyond a level 
She was open but he was closed, always guarded 
It felt to her like there was another woman in his 
life 
When she expressed her concern 
He laughed it off 
He said "I live with my mother, and I work a 
few buildings away from you" 
You know my whereabouts at all times 
Where is the room for the other lady or ladies? 
But he was emotionally cold and distant in 
a strange way 
She decided to give it one more push and then 
call it quits
She decided to see his mother 
She went to their house by 10 am on a Wednesday 
When she got to their flat, she saw him and 
his mother on their knees before a prophet 
The prophet said "Today, I have bound your 
soul with "So and So" (her name), she will 
never marry another but you"
The prophet repeated it several times
She didn't bother knocking the door
When they finished their prayer
She left
She didn't know why anyone would
want to go to that extent to marry her
She didn't have much money and
she was not an extraordinary beauty
She was just a girl getting by in life
He came to her office by 6 pm to
pick her up
She didn't say a word to him about 
what she saw
When she got home, she told her
mother everything
Her mother told her to break up with
him immediately
That was her conclusion too
She sent him a message asking that
they meet to discuss a dissolution
of their union
Perhaps that was the mistake she
made
Perhaps she was a bit rash
The next day, he walked into her office
with daggers drawn
He embarrassed her mercilessly
Many of her colleagues at work had to
get involved in the whole mess
They placated him and reminded him
it was a personal issue that was best 
dealt with away from the office
As he left her office, he said
"You will never see another suitor,
you will never marry another man
under this heaven
By the time you come back to me,
you will beg to be my third or fourth
wife
if i say no to you, I assure you that
you will beg to be my concubine
You matter has been settled before
today
You are mine!"
She cried all the way home that evening
She told her mother everything
Her mother consoled her and assured
her that she would meet somebody
better and more worthy of her love soon
The following week, she got a job with
a PR firm in Ikeja
It was a welcomed development
She needed to put a long distance 
between the two of them
She took the job and closed his chapter
Days turned to minutes after that
She made new friends, completed her
APCON and NIPR professional courses
She 
She was transferred to Abuja, Port-Harcourt
and back to Lagos
She resigned her job to work with a 
government agency
She and some other like-minded people
founded a PR Firm
She was a director at the age of 33
The only thing missing in her life was
a husband
Since she left him, there had been
no offers of any kind
Her mother had been everywhere
Praying, fasting and sowing battle seeds
The "prophecies" or "messages"
always directed her to return to him
Even her mother said "A prophetic 
edict remains binding even if the one
that was bound by it didn't want it"
She had thought about it too
She even checked him out on Facebook
several times
He had been married and divorced
thrice in eleven years
At least he was getting people to 
marry him
Whenever she mentioned her single
status to her friends and colleagues
hoping one of them would link her up
with a single or divorced or widowed guy
The response she always got was
"You don't seem single to me or
I have always assumed you are married"
She made up her mind to sign up
for fertility treatment, if she was still
single by the age of 35
She had always wanted to have children
and she had more than enough resources
to cater to as many children as she
might have
The very day she clocked 35, he called
He said his mother called him and
encouraged him to reach out to her
He apologized for the past and asked
her if she would like to meet somewhere
to celebrate the day together
She said Yes
After the call, a sudden chill came over
her
It felt as if she wouldn't be able to
escape fate after all
She felt like a dog returning to its vomit
He had categorically stated that
she would crawl back to him begging
She didn't but her mother did on her
behalf
When she got to the office, she decided
to reach out to someone who could
listen to her and help her make
sense of things
She follows @gbengawemimo on Twitter
She sent him a DM and he replied with
his Whatsapp number
She poured out her heart 
He read her messages and laughed
He said she should not have lunch
with her ex
The edict of a prophet is not binding
over a Born Again Christian
A Born Again Christian has the Holy
Spirit in him or her
No prophet can bind the Holy Spirit
with a declaration, spell or edict
The Holy Spirit is God in you!
She told him she was not a born again
Christian
He told her giving her life to Christ 
would be the best birthday gift
He led her to Christ and got her
filled with the Holy Spirit
Then he told her to make her marital
declarations daily while ministering
to the Holy Spirit in prayer
She didn't believe it would be that
simple
Seven weeks and six days later
A popular newscaster came to do some
voice over work with her company
He asked her to dinner 
She said Amen
The butterflies that were long dead
returned to her belly
Six months later, they had their
wedding at a popular Anglican church
in on Lagos Mainland

PS: "Mo" as she is popularly called
delivered a baby girl recently, her
second child in three years
Ignorance and positioning is a 
challenge for many believers
A prophet cannot curse a born Again
Christian
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the
Blessed one
He cannot be cursed!
If the Holy Spirit dwells in you, you
cannot be afflicted or bound by any 
"jagbajantis" person!
Do you understand who the Holy
Spirit is and what he does in your life?
if you do, you will not believe all these
nonsense
Now for those who are not born again,
anybody can bind them.
In fact, somebody can put their life
in a cowry and hang it on a tree
The Spirit in man is subject to the
devil and demonic manifestations
but when that same person accepts
Jesus as Lord and Saviour, he or she
can no longer be subject to the 
whims and caprices of the evil one

GSW's notes: A prophet once said
something to me that passively
allowed, it was at a moment of pride!
I just prayed for a man and the man
got healed
The disease was quite a serious one
so i felt giddy with my own importance
Then my phone rang and this prophet
started speaking
"You are a man of God...
You recently prayed for a man with
so and so disease and he was healed...
I see fire all over you...
There is someone around you who is
pregnant....
(That was the point i should have 
shut the devil up but he had been
right so far and i listened on like a
dummy)
HE PLANTED A SEED THAT DAY 
that took me months of prayer
and spiritual humility to uproot!
That experience taught me a lesson
If it does not build me up, edify
me or encourage me, the message
is not from God!
Your spiritual atmosphere is your
responsibility, speak into your own
life and weed out words spoken by 
another that is not to your benefit
When John and Jesus saw each other 
while in the womb, they leaped for
joy
if a prophet has the Holy Spirit and
you have the Holy Spirit, his message
must leave you leaping for joy
No prophet has the right to bind or
tie or command a believer to do 
anything or leave you in fear and 
doubt
Only witches do that to their prey!
