*PART NINETEEN*
"Pastor everything I will say, is nothing but the truth. For a very long time, I have been asking my daughter to follow me to Baba's place but she refused. This baba I am talking about, has a church which is known as CHURCH OF HEALING and what he does is to cure any ailment, disease, etc. I have known him for years, even before I got married because we are from the same home town and i have never visited him before until this moment.
I remember him and decided to visit him alone since she won't follow me. When I got to the church, he gave a calabash and some list of things to buy. He asked me to mix it with her bathing water and that's all. He said she would be alright. I didn't tell her all these because I know she won't do it but, it's for her own good. The day I decided to mix it with her water without her consent, was the day she said she was going on a retreat. Immediately, I knew I have lost it and there is no way out. I could not do it again because she was to use it that day.
Now pastor, assuming I wanted to kill her, would I not hide it somewhere she can't see it. I planned throwing it away on my way out, but I forgot sir. All I did is because of my concern for her. I didn't want her to die like her father and also, she is 23 years old. I can't watch her live with the ailment forever so, I had to take some steps as a mother " she said and faced the pastor, as she was crying.
Do not ever forsake the prompting of the Holy spirit. If he ask you to do something, do it. It's for the best.
"Hmmm sis Adura. I have told you from the beginning never to judge, you really need to pray to God to help you not to be quick in judging others. Now that we have heard from mummy, what are you supposed to do" he said
"Mummy.... After several warning and pleading, you still went to the Baba's place without my consent. No wonder you told me not to trust anyone, including you. Well, I am sorry ma for hurting you with my words and action" she said as she knelt down in front of her.
"I know and I am sorry for not informing you" mother said as they hugged each other.
"Mummy in addition, your daughter is now free from the ailment. She had an encounter with God and was set free on the last day of her retreat" pastor said
"Ah...Thank God" she said as she rolled on the floor.
"Also mummy, I want you to be careful of churches hiding under the atmosphere of God. Don't be deceived, there are fake prophets outside and we have to be careful. Jesus said, watch and pray. Our healing comes from God. Sometimes, God has won the battle but he just want us to stay focused and believe in Him. Mummy, all He needs from us is to depend totally on Him and that lead to submitting all.
What happened to Adura, is devil's agenda to stop the plan of God but he has failed because we have won the battle. Mummy, you have to put your trust in God and not man. Could it be that, you have not submitted all the aspect of your life to him.
" Hmmm...Pastor, I know I have failed God in so many ways. I am not where I ought to be, I have served him with other gods. I couldn't trust Him enough to heal my daughter. I thought it's getting late and I forgot, He is not a God of magic. Today, I want to rededicate my life to Him and submit all aspect of my life to him" she said and pastor, prayed with her.
Check through your life, have you submitted all to Him. Your financial life, your academic, your family, etc.
I pray God touch every aspect of your life that needs to be touched in Jesus name...Amen
