I watched my Elder brother run mad before my eyes. I remember, darkness was in my family and when you get to the age of twenty-one, it’ll fall on you. Our eldest brother got to the age of 21, he became Schizophrenic.
The second one got to the age of 21, she stepped on something at the university of Jos, and her right leg became two times as fat as her left leg.
The third-born became 21 and he had an infirmity that doctors could not diagnose.
I watched my immediate elder brother run mad before my eyes and it was at 21. And I knew that I would be visited by the devil at the age of twenty one. So I learnt how to pray; not just in the morning, but also at night.
Let me tell you something: Witches keep time. Necromancers keep time. Warlocks keep time. And when a true warlock tells you “You Will See”, they mean it. They will come after you, it might be after nine years later, but they’ll definitely come. They’ll look for you when you’re weak and vulnerable.
I was to celebrate my 21st birthday, and it was on campus. I was running to the Prayer room because we had this prayer time from 12 Midnight to 1:00 AM. That’s why it’s not good to be late for prayers, I was late, and on my way, I had an encounter. That day I was alone, and this bird, an OWL appeared, wanting to stand on my head. I used my hand to hit it, but it just went backward, it didn’t fly away, it just moved backward.
Then it occurred to me that it was the bird that plagued my brothers. I tried to fight in the flesh and the bird wanted to change to something else. Then the Holy Ghost whispered to me “Fear is a luxury tonight”. It means ‘You will die if you fear this night’
So, to avoid not getting afraid, I closed my eyes and spoke in tongues in capital letters. When I opened my eyes, one of the wings was broken, so it couldn’t fly again. I dealt with that bird and left it there and went for prayers.
Three days later, the last among our ancestors that had refused to die, came out of his house and stood by the doorpost, fell and faced the wall, and died.
Peace came to my house and the death stopped. My younger sisters, at 21, nothing happened to them.
The Scripture says that the Ernest Expectation of Creature waiteth for the MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD.
The bondage of corruption, the plans of the wicked and the activities of darkness will continue to survive in a life, family and territory until a son of God arises because darkness prevails in an environment where there's no priesthood.
