MY BABY HUSBAND
Episode 40
By Ayo Omolayo
I laid on my bed, but my eyes were open. I was only waiting for the sound of my quiet time alarm. I kept smiling at intervals. Truth be told, I was on honeymoon.
I kept meditating on all the teaching I had received recently. I was so grateful to God for setting me free through his word.
“So when are you getting married?” Came the question.
I sighed.
I don’t think I’ll be able to find a God fearing man. Even when I find such a man, how do I make him fall in love with me. Recently, I met a new guy. He was son of a general overseer. We met some months ago and exchanged contacts. His name was Harry Balogun.
He told me he liked my personality. He said he loved God fearing women who were also successful in business. I got to meet him yesterday at a meeting I attended.
He was all smiles and welcoming. During the meeting, we both caught ourselves staring at each other. As soon as the meeting was over, we had to say hi to each other.
He called me yesterday evening even after we spoke alot at the meeting. We didn’t speak about anything too important, but I’m a lady for crying out loud. I know when a guy is not straight forward.
He’s a Christian and the son of a well known man of God. I believe we are good together.
Only for Daddy to say
“DON’T TRY ME OH! WHO TOLD YOU THAT ANY MAN CAN BE YOUR HUSBAND? I KNOW HE’S A CHRISTIAN AND A TRUE BELIEVER, BUT HE’S NOT MY WILL FOR YOU. SO DON’T TRY ANYTHING FUNNY!”
So who was my husband?
“THAT’S NOT A TOPIC TO ADDRESS. THAT SHOULD BE SO FAR FROM YOUR MIND RIGHT NOW. CRIS YOU ARE SERIOUSLY GROWING IN GRACE AND WHEN GROWING, THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE NOT NEEDED IN YOUR LIFE”.
“I don’t understand!”
“HMMMMM!” BABY GIRL, LISTEN TO ME. JUST DO WHAT I SAID AND STOP TRYING TO GIVE IN TO THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH. I’LL ADDRESS YOUR QUESTIONS IN TOMORROW’S APPOINTMENT!”
Soon my quiet time alarm rang and I got up immediately. I switched it off and laid in the bed again.
“CRIS! WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE IN BED?” Came the gentle whisper.
“I’m sorry! I just need to stretch my back a little!” I replied.
I knew I was not supposed to return to bed, but I don’t just know what was wrong with me. I just kept telling myself I would get up soon. Fifteen minutes passed and I wasn’t ready to get up yet. Just a little more sleep, I’ll soon be up.
“WHAT ABOUT THOSE THINGS YOU WERE TAUGHT ABOUT TIREDNESS AND SATAN’S SCHEMES AGAINST YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE?”
“Don’t worry daddy! I’ll be fine! I won’t miss my quiet time. Just let me rest a little, please!”
Daddy went mute and my peace left me. What was wrong with me. Cris, please get up and stop this nonsense. Oh my God! What is the meaning of all these?
I was feeling an inner struggle within me. My spirit and my flesh warred to fulfill their desires. I knew I was losing the battle. With all the knowledge I had, Satan was about to tell me he was smarter. With all the revelations, I was still as helpless as someone who was ignorant of the devices of the Devil.
When I noticed all these, I said within me.
“Lord, please show me mercy! Don’t allow me enemies triumph over me! Daddy please help me. I know I have been taught. But I don’t know what is wrong with me!”
Then a scripture came.
“Romans 9:16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy”.
Then I began to ask for mercy within me.
“God, I’m trapped in my flesh. Please pull me. Show me mercy!”
Another scripture came.
“Romans 10:13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”.
“Lord save me!” I prayed within me.
Soon, I became pressed. I tried to ignore it but it kept getting stronger and difficult to hold. I didn’t want to get up, but the need to empty my bladder was forcing me.
When it became unbearable, I got up from the bed and entered the restroom to relieve myself. As soon as I was through, I returned to the room and laid down to rest a little bit.
Immediately I laid down, my bladders became full again. I don’t understand. I had just finished urinating. Could this be diabetes? I wasn’t that sugar consuming person. Why the sudden excessive urination?
I decided to ignore it and continue with my rest. I noticed my Daddy was silent. It got me worried, but I just wanted to get enough rest first. I would solve that matter later. Let me attend to my body.
Soon, the pain was so unbearable. I climbed down from the bed and entered the restroom. As soon as I was done, I returned to the room and was climbing the bed again.
‘IF YOU TRY ME THIS MORNING! I’LL DEAL WITH YOU!” I heard within me.
I paused and looked around for a while.
“SO YOU DIDN’T UNDERSTAND IT WAS ME DRAGGING YOU ALL THESE WHILE ABI? YOU ARE WAITING FOR ME TO COME AND TURN YOUR MATTRESS UPSIDE DOWN BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND!”
It was the first time he was using an angry tone on me. How did I know he was angry? I can’t explain, but I just knew daddy was annoyed with me. He wasn’t talking like he usually did.
So he was the one filling my bladder all these while? All I could think about was diabetes. Cris! You need flogging.
I went down on my knees and began to ask him to forgive me.
“Daddy! I’m so sorry! I can’t believe I was this stupid!”
“CRIS, TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED. I GAVE YOU SO MUCH, I NEVER EXPECTED THIS FROM YOU!”
“I’m sorry Dad! I won’t do this ever again. I’m so sorry!” I prayed.
Soon, I switched into tongues. I Kept praying and praying untill I felt peace within me. But I was still feeling the heat of his annoyance.
“REMEMBER I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO CONTINUE YOUR CLASS ON THE SONGS OF SOLOMON?”
“Yes sir!”
“NOW OPEN TO CHAPTER TWO AND READ VERSE FIFTEEN!”
I quickly opened it and read.
“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes”.
I exhaled and nodded my head.
“Little foxes!”
“IN THOSE DAYS WHEN FOXES INVADED VINEYARDS, THEY WOULD DIG A HOLE OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF THE VINEYARD. THE HOLE WOULD LEAD STRAIGHT INTO THE VINEYARD. THEN THEY WOULD EAT TO THEIR SATISFACTION AND LEAVE THE FARM THROUGH THE HOLE THEY DUG”.
“Wow!”
“THE MAN PRAYED TO GOD TO TAKE AWAY THE LITTLE FOXES THAT SPOILED THE GRAPES, BECAUSE HE HAD TENDER GRAPES. GRAPES THAT WERE STILL GERMINATING AND THESE FOXES WERE NOT READY TO WAIT FOR THESE GRAPES TO MATURE. THEY JUST DON’T WANT TO SEE ANY GRAPES IN THAT FARM.
THAT’S YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE CRIS! YOU’RE STILL GROWING AND THE GRAPES OF YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE ARE STILL BUDDING. BUT THE FOXES, THE DEMONS, ARE NOT READY TO STAND BY AND WATCH YOU GROW. THEY ARE SERIOUSLY DIGGING A WHOLE INTO YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE TO EAT UP EVERYTHING THAT HAD GROWN OVER TIME.
THAT’S WHAT THEY BROUGHT THIS YOUNG MAN HARRY TO DO IN YOUR LIFE. LISTEN TO ME. A CHRISTIAN LIFE THAT IS STILL GROWING CANNOT GO INTO A RELATIONSHIP.
STOP TRYING TO WASTE YOUR TIME. EMOTIONS ARE VERY POWERFUL, ONCE YOU START HAVING FEELINGS FOR THAT YOUNG MAN, IT’S GOING TO AFFECT YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO GO INTO A RELATIONSHIP.
CRIS, I NEED YOU TO FOCUS. WHAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU RIGHT NOW? THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE DOING NOW. YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE! THAT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD TO YOU. BUILD IT, TREASURE IT, DON’T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.
BELIEVE ME, WHEN YOU’RE READY FOR A RELATIONSHIP, I WOULD PERSONALLY BRING YOUR MAN FOR YOU. DON’T WASTE THIS PERIOD OF PREPARATION. BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T PREPARE, GOD’S PROMISES WOULD MEET YOU UNPREPARED.
SO DELAY IS ACTUALLY MERCY. I PROMISED THE ISRAELITES THE LAND OF CANAAN. BUT THEY WERE NEVER PREPARED FOR IT. THAT’S WHY THEY WERE THE WORST SET OF ISRAELITES YOU EVER SAW IN THE BIBLE. THEY DIDN’T PREPARE THEMSELVES BY KNOWING GOD.
THEY DIDN’T KNOW GOD PERSONALLY. THEY WERE JUST FOLLOWING THE LEADERSHIP OF MOSES. IN THE JOURNEY OF CHRISTIANITY, THERE ALWAYS COMES A TIME WHEN YOUR PERSONAL FAITH IN GOD WOULD BE TRIED. THAT WAS WHAT HAPPENED. THE GIANTS AND THE IMPOSSIBLITIES IN THE LAND OF CANAAN WERE ONLY A TEST OF THEIR FAITH IN MY ABILITY TO PROTECT AND KEEP MY WORD.
ONLY TWO MEN TOOK OUT THEIR TIME TO BUILD THEIR SPIRITUAL LIVES, JOSHUA AND CALEB. AND WHEN EVERYONE SANK, THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND THE LEVEL TO WHICH THEY HAD BUILT THEIR SPIRITUAL LIVES PAID BACK. THEY STOOD FIRMLY BECAUSE WHILE, ALL THE ISRAELITES SAW THEMSELVES AS GRASSHOPPERS IN THE EYES OF THOSE GIANTS. CALEB SAW THEM AS BREAD.
THAT’S WHY I HAD NO CHOICE THAN TO TAKE THEM BACK TO THE RED SEA, TO START THE JOURNEY AFRESH. THOSE 40 YEARS, WERE 40 YEARS OF TRAINING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. THEY WERE 40 YEARS OF BUILDING THEIR SPIRITUAL LIVES FOR THEIR MISSION IN THE PROMISED LAND. TO WIPE AWAY ALL THOSE IDOL WORSHIPPING NATIONS FROM THE LAND.
SO I WAS TRAINING THEM FOR THE TASK AHEAD. TEACHING THEM HOW TO FIGHT AND KILL AN OPPONENT IN THE BATTLE FIELD. THOSE 40 YEARS MADE THOSE ISRAELITES WARRIORS UNDEFEATABLE.
SO DELAY IS MERCY. IMAGINE IF DAVID DID NOT USE HIS PERIOD OF INTIMACY WITH GOD TO MASTER HOW TO SHOOT HIS CATERPULT WITHOUT MISSING, WOULD HE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SHOOT GOLIATH DOWN ON THAT FAITHFUL DAY?”
“No!” I answered.
“YOUR PERIOD OF WAITING ON GOD, BUILDING YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE, SINGLEHOOD MUST NOT BE WASTED. GOD IS PREPARING YOU FOR SOMETHING AHEAD OF YOU. SOMETHING BIG AND GLORIOUS. BUT YOU MUST MEET YOUR DESTINY AS A PREPARED MAN. NOT HALF DONE OR UNDER PREPARED. BECAUSE IF YOU DO, YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AND START ALL-OVER FROM THE RED SEA.
“Daddy! What are these foxes?”
“ANYTHING DRAINING YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE IS A FOX. RELATIONSHIP AT THE WRONG TIME WITH THE WRONG PERSON, SLEEP, MOVIES AND ENTERTAINMENT, EXCUSES, PROCASTINATION, INCONSISTENCY IN YOUR QUIET TIME, FEAR, WORRY AND LOT’S MORE.
IDENTIFY THOSE THINGS THAT USUALLY DRAIN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE. THEY ARE THE FOXES EATING THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT GERMINATING IN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE. PRAY AGAINST THEM AND NULLIFY THEIR POWER AND GRIP OVER YOUR LIFE”.
I went down on my knees and began to blast in tongues.
“Lord take away the foxes! Everything in me that is eating up my spiritual fruits! Everything in me eating up the fruits of the Holy Spirit in me, be crushed in the name of Jesus.
Lord I come against the powers of darkness digging a hole, trying to break into my spiritual life, to steal from me, to kill what you have brought back to life and to destroy my destiny. Be destroyed in the name of Jesus.
Satan you are a failure. You are not going to succeed in my life. You will never celebrate in triumph over Christiana Kolapo in the name of Jesus!”
To be continued……
Can you all join Cris in praying these prayers?”
Hmmm! Yesterday God saved me from the hands of a hacker. My account was almost hacked yesterday. It was God that delivered me.
I almost fell for the deciever. Hmmmmm, a sister I knew so much lost her account into the hands of a hacker and the guy, pretending to be her, came for my Facebook account.
Imagine how Satan is fighting? Imagine the rubbish they would have used my account to do if it got to their hands.
Can we go ahead and join Cris to pray. Satan will never rejoice because of me in Jesus name!
Go ahead and pray fervently?
