When she finished talking I said sister, are you saying that this curse cannot be broken off our family?…
God can do it, Jesus can deliver us… I said firmly.
She laughed and said do you remember that Ogechi’s ex-husband was a pastor? Even at that, their marriage failed so my dear, there is nothing we have not done, but you can give it a try anyway…she said with a mockery smile.
Oh! Is it because I did not tell you all the other episodes of powerful men of God that I visited?
When I say there is nothing we have not done, I mean we have done everything humanly possible… all of us ooh…
The other day Chimamanda was telling me that she went somewhere and one prophet told her that we should bring 1.7 million or 4 cows so that he can come to the family house to conduct family deliverance for us, I told her to count me out of that nonsense.
Marriage is not by force, what have I not done…
Prophet has eaten my money in this life… I mean good cash…I am not ready for any of such anymore.
She shook her head and said let me just not talk… because as I am talking now, I am just remembering so many things that happened to me in the course of trying to get my husband back.
In one of the incidences, Bose took me to one church and the prophet insisted that part of the deliverance he will conduct for me included sleeping with me….
See Chioma, let me just not talk. It is well…
At that point, I wanted to give up but something inside me kept telling me that they did not go to the right place to get deliverance that is why…
I remembered a scripture in Isaiah 49; 24-26 then I dragged my handbag to myself, I opened it and brought out my bible, I always carry my bible in my handbag anywhere I go so I opened to that passage of the bible and read it out to her hearing…
Sister the bible said in Isaiah 49:24-26 that…

As I was reading that scripture, suddenly something came over me like a force, I stood up from where I was sitting and started pacing up and down the room as I continue to ponder on that passage line by line this continued for about 7 minutes.
My sister was just sitting there looking at me with a very strange look…of what can this one do… what can she do that we have not done…
Of a truth, I sincerely did not know what else to do after listening to my sister’s side of the story… I was just reading the scripture to draw strength to help me think of the next line of action.
It was a horrible scenario but I told her Jesus can deliver this family…as I talked to her I felt a new hope and confidence from my inner being, then I told her I was leaving.
You want to go by this time, she turns her hand to show me the time on her wristwatch…
Yes! I have to go back home now sister
Can’t you see that is already getting late, just pass the night here and leave early tomorrow morning she said…
No sister, let me go, I don’t want to sleep here, besides I did not even tell Mama and Papa that I was coming here let me return, I will still get a taxi is not too late yet, I stood up immediately and carried my bag, she kept quiet when she saw that my mind was made up.
All right greet Mama and Papa for me, call me immediately you get home.
Ok ma, I responded and left..
While going back home in the taxi that night, I was just saying in my mind that I shall not suffer what my sisters suffered in the name of Jesus repeatedly…I don’t want to pity myself, I need to go home to war throughout this night I said to myself…
Soon I heard the taxi driver saying last bus stop, I quickly adjusted myself and paid him his money then alighted from the taxi, I started contemplating trekking home or picking a bike, I then concluded on trekking to give me time to think and clear my mind because I really needed that time so I trekked home from the bus stop,
I continued thinking as I trekked, how do I get out of this, should I call Adegbe to tell him, should I call my pastor? Should I call mummy Dorathy! Oh yes, I will let Mummy Dorathy know about it first.
Mummy Dorathy is my spiritual mother, my pastor’s wife, she is a prayer warrior yes! She has mentored me for long and has taught us the young ladies under her mentorship how to fight and win our life’s battles.
Ehenn, this is the right avenue to exercise all that mummy Dorathy has been teaching us about spiritual battle, this is one of them I said to myself, I will have to call her and let her know so she can tell me how to go about this…
At that point, I got another relief again and breathed down…
