THE CONTAINER -EPISODE 9

Can you remember the women you were chained down with? Pastor mike asked.

“They were my mom’s family members and my mom as well. My mom and her family members? Her eyes widened with shock as what she just said made meaning to her. She was bothered with the mango tree, bro Tola and the fact that she was chained that she didn’t really give the other women in the dream a thought.

Ha! She said as she hit her laps with both hands as she began to connect those late marriages, barrenness, all what her mom had told her which she had bluffed off etc. together with the dream. Daddy! I understand the dream better, she said as she began to give some instances of what has been going on in the family.

“Hmm… this is really serious. The mango tree, full of ripe mangoes means the good things that all of you desire- husband, children etc. but the embargo placed on it is the reasons you can’t get them. And those that tried to get married- your mom lose her husband to the cold hands of death and your aunty lose hers to barrenness.

You see, pastor mike continued, as it is coming to my heart now; that spirit that was oppressing all of you is the voice of the word that had been spoken against your mom’s family. It is just ensuring that the word that had been spoken is prospering. Or have you forgotten that there’s a spirit or should I say power that backs up each and every words we speak?

Mom told me but I didn’t believe it, I mean I’m a Christian, I love God. So why should a curse or something still affect me? She asked with tear-blurred eyes.

Tears won’t solve this problem my dear sister. You should be thankful to God for revealing this mystery to you, it means He wants you to take it up in prayers because it’s an hindrance. You see, being born again gives you a new birth and then gives you power to break the curses and covenants that has been working against you. Before you are powerless, but now, as a Christian, you have the power to exercise authority over them.  It is only Him and in Him that we can have victory over all these battles.
You see, Jesus has already made deliverance available on to us, it was a done deal when He died on the cross, so it’s best you take the victory available to you in Christ through the blood of Jesus.

“So I will advise you to start praying against negative family patterns and I will also give you a book by Rebecca Brown- Unbroken curse, it will give you more understanding so you will know how to pray. My wife and I will also join you and I know that God in His mercies will set you free. Pastor mike finished off with assurance written all over his face.

The weekend was dedicated to series of prayers and fasting and even midnight prayers at the pastor’s house with his wife.
**********
She had dreamt again and saw that same dream, but this time around she saw herself silencing the voice of the spirit speaking against her with a verse that dropped on her mind…”the blood that speaks better things than the blood of Abel.

The power in the blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus broke her chains, not only hers but those that were tied down with her. There was also a shaking on the tree, so much that the embargo placed on it was destroyed and there were so much fruit that fell on their own accord which they picked and picked to their satisfaction.

“Victory at last! She screamed out from her sleep. She wiped her face with her hand as she replayed the dream again.

“On impulse, she stood up from the bed, and danced before God, singing the song of victory. She quickly remembered pastor mike as she picked up her phone and called him.

“Daddy!!! I have been delivered. She screamed as she briefly narrated the dream to him.

“We had a similar dream as well, pastor mike said, confirming the dream.

I pray that this victory and deliverance is permanent in the mighty name of Jesus.

“Amen! She chorused with all her strength.

Then, just like a thunderbolt, it hit her…”Adetola! I saw him in my dreams!

Okay, Father one battle has ended, I don’t want to assume anything about this brother until you speak to me about what his purpose is in my life. Yes o, she said as she shook her head. “Once bitten, twice shy.

“The ringing of her phone startled her a bit. It was the music director. She smiled as she saw his number. What is it again this time around o?

“Good afternoon sir, happy weekend.

Good afternoon my dear sis. I’m sorry for disturbing you. Something urgent came up so I decided to pass the information as quickly as possible as I received the message from pastor mike.

“Okay… she drawled. She just spoke with pastor mike not quite long and he didn’t tell her anything. What is the message sir? She quickly asked.

Okay, a wedding is coming up next week, it wasn’t planned since they wanted to do only court wedding but I don’t know what changed their mind but as it is now, they are having a church wedding. So choir rehearsals must begin immediately in preparation.

Whose wedding sir? The question came out of her mouth before she could retrieve it back.

“Bro Adetola’s wedding to sister Morayo of the children’s department.
