MY FAMILY PRESSURE (FINAL SAGA)
Daniel got to the man's house late at night the gate man already recognized
him.
‘ Hello Mr. Daniel, this one wey we see you this night ko,
Hope no problem? Asked the gate man in his Hausa ascent
Ahhhhh no problem my friend na oga talk say make I kon
See am oooooooo, my vehicle kon spoil for road
Eyah sorry oooooooo
Wait make I tell oga first.
The gate man left Daniel at the gate and went inside leaving his small radio
still speaking loudly, then the speaker said something that almost made
Daniel go off balance, the speaker said
“My fellow brother do you feel frustrated and felt time is going?
Are you about taking a step without the backing of God?
Why not seat and take a rethink and let God make all things
Beautiful in his time.
Daniel sat down and concluded that truly this is the beautiful time God has
in plan for him and was not going to let this opportunity pass him by. The
gate man came back and told him to go inside, the gate man then uttered
another statement that Daniel did not even bother to think about
Hmmmmm Mr Daniel see as you clean, you suppose no come today
Since night don come if I be you I go just turn back maybe
Something bad wan happen sef, please try to set take life easy
And be patient……
Daniel just laughed it off….thanks my friend and left
Daniel was welcomed as usual by the servants and ushered into a different
room where the man is, with four other people already in the room. Daniel
greeted and he was welcomed to their midst. Without much stories they
all introduced themselves one after the other and gave Daniel assurance
that he is safe and in the midst of great men. He was so happy that he began
to tell them how frustrated he was and how poverty has made him an object
of ridicule both in the community and especially his family and he was ready
to do anything for him to be rich and fend for his family. The men were
surprised at his outburst and his readiness to do anything was worthy.
You are welcome once again Daniel, we are sure you won’t regret
Joining us provided you obey and carry out all the instructions given, so he was given an handkerchief to wipe his face
To indicate the end of struggling and sweat over life
Daniel collected it and did as instructed.
Then they told him that he is now in the midst of the elders fellowship and
once he gets home he will see what the lord of the elders has done for him,
but one more thing, you must not tell anyone what was done here because
he has made a covenant with the ‘lord of the elders' he nodded his head like
a jelly fish and was set to leave, his sister’s husband to be, called him back
and told him not to forget the warning hence his life is at stake. Daniel
became terrified the more but he was focused on the surprised he will see
when he got home. He left that midnight and got home safe, his parents
scolded him for staying that long and suggested that he should have slept
there and come back the next day. Daniel just apologized and went straight
to his room for the surprise, his shout at what he saw attracted his parents
to his room to see what the problem was, he quickly controlled himself and
told them something else and they left his room. The surprise was seen in
his cupboard a bag filled with money was seen in there, he thought of what
to do then he decided to place a call to the man and explain what he saw, he
did and he was told that the “lord of the elders” sent it to him in his Mercy
and he should be grateful to him and there is no cause for any alarm. After
the call he was a bit relaxed but after sometime he was very okay and
accepted that God really want to compensate him of the bad times, he knelt
down and begin to worship God. Things were going on smoothly for Daniel
as promised by the elders he was able to make a lot investment and got
married to one of the pastor’s daughter in the church he attended. A year
after the wedding the torment from the “Elders Fellowship” began he was
told to renew his covenant if he still wants the riches and his life preserved,
at first he fought with them claiming his riches were from God and he was
not ready to make any sacrifice, then they reminded him of what he said
with his mouth the day he was initiated and how he got money in his
cupboard mysteriously, he became dumbfounded and agreed to renew the
covenant and the sacrifice for the renewing is his Father. When he heard the
last statement he became furious and charged at the man who introduced
him to it but he was stopped by unseen forces of darkness. He eventually
agreed on using his father after so much thought about his life, reputation
and also on how his father was the main contributing factor on how he
found himself in the mess. The day of the sacrifice finally came and
the spirit of his father was called and stabbed in the cult room. Daniel's
father woke up from the sleep with a shout holding his chest before he got
to the hospital he was confirmed dead. Daniel got to his parents house and
felt so sad about the incident and told others to accept it as the plan of God.
He couldn’t stay there for long because of his conscience so he left on time
after the burial was conducted. Things went back to how it used to be but
Daniel’s wife who is from a Christian home knew something was not right
about Daniel’s riches and his strange behavior atimes, she has questioned
her husband times without number but he did not open up to her, she
continued her prayers for herself and her husband, Adenike who is Daniel’s
wife became pregnant after long time of waiting and this news brought joy
to the family including Daniel, he never joked with his wife since the
conception and hence provided all that is required for her convenience during
the period of the pregnancy. The pregnancy did not stop Adenike's prayers,
the elders called Daniel to remind him of his renewal and what the “lord of
elders” wanted this time is the growing fetus in his wife’s womb, Daniel
almost ran mad at the requirement thinking of how long they have waited
to have their own child and now the so called “lord of the elders” wants the
blood. Never! Never! He repeated I will rather die than releasing my unborn
child to you he shouted! He left the meeting inconclusively and rushed
home to see if anything was wrong with his wife, he met her in good state
and told her to pack her things that she will need to go outside the country
for now claiming he wanted her to have a good treatment over there. The
wife tried to ask him how he arrived at such decision but he did not give a
listening ear at all. He was so restless all through the day since the wife will
be leaving the second day he was trying to put things together in short time.
The night preceeding the travelling was the same day for the sacrifice so he
did not bother to sleep and stood with his wife during her midnight prayers
which was unusual of him, then the spirit of Adenike was invoked and at the
point of stabbing her in the stomach it was the same time she shouted in
Jesus name I have prayed!!!!!!!! The name scattered the whole Temple and
the evil spirit sent for the assignment became furious and came straight to
kill Daniel as the replace of the sacrifice. Daniel suddenly felt down from
where he was sitting and couldn’t talk again, the wife shouted for help so
the maids came around and he was rushed to the hospital. At the hospital
he began to confess to his wife about all he did and gave his wife the name
he would love to give his child if he was alive. He began to vomit blood and
before the doctor could get there he gave up the ghost! The wife was
heartbroken and the incident hasten her delivery and she gave birth to two
baby bouncing boys without any complications. Daniel’s mum and the entire
family gave their lives to Jesus while the man that introduced Daniel to the
cult became mad and every he owned was ruined.
