he has been pushed to the wall to seek solution to his problem. his option however is something he cannot comprehend.

he needs your help. Please, read and advise him.
Thanks, Monica Taiwo.

Dear Taiwo,
People around wanted to mediate, but my mother insisted that she should be taken back. This was what led to the face-off between her and my father’s family.

Although my father’s people tried to put things right, my wedding night was the end of my marriage to Funmilola. It just wasn’t the same after that night. It was one problem after the other. She said she couldn’t stand it anymore when she lost her second pregnancy and she almost died in the process.

It took me some years to get another woman of my choice. I had no problem marrying her the proper way, because Funmilola made sure we had a divorce so we could go our separate ways. But I decided to go low key with Grace. She had been married before, but she lost her husband. She also wanted a low keyed affair and we had just this.

Few months into my marriage to Grace, my mother started making trouble over her too. It was always one complaint after the other. Unfortunately, by the time I got married the second time, I had been transferred out of Ibadan. I decided to allow Grace stay back because I already had my own house and I didn’t think it was nice to lock up my house and spend a huge amount of money renting an apartment in Lagos.

But my mother won’t give her peace of mind. It was always one problem after the other. I always came home to solve a problem all the time. I would have taken her with me to Lagos, but she had a good job with a bank, I didn’t want to pull her out of her job without getting an alternative.

Because of her attitude and behaviour towards my wife, my mother and I have had cause to disagree and quarrel a couple of times. I came home this particular weekend and met my wife crying. I learnt that my mother and some family members just left our house. She had invited even relatives from her hometown into my house without my knowledge to accuse my wife that she had taken me away from her and Grace was suffering because of her. She was then given an alternative to reconcile my mother and I and ensure that I gave her some amount of money to start her business again.

This is a business I had pumped money into several times even without my wife’s knowledge and she always ended messing it up. I was furious and I went to confront my mother about this. She did not deny, neither was she repentant. She said Grace had no children for me, so she had no business in my house.

The problem was so much that I came home to meet an empty house one day. Grace left and informed me through a letter she left with the gateman that she could only endure physical war and unable to stand any spiritual warfare.

I had no opportunity of seeing her because she travelled out the very day she left my house. She must have planned it for some time. I was a sad man for over five years. I couldn’t even find my feet. I was unable to even speak with a woman not to talk of asking her out for a date.

I decided to go back to school for my degree to keep myself busy during the weekends that I had to come home. I met my current wife in school. We were studying the same course; she was taking the course on full- time while I was on part- time. She was in part three while I was in part one.

We became friendly, and started dating and she became pregnant. I couldn’t let her go. I loved her and she was carrying the one thing I had always desired, a child of my own. I met her parents and decided that we would solemnise our matrimony after she must have delivered the baby. Her parents however consented to the fact that she could live with me.

She was in her final year. My mother eventually got to know and started another problem with her too. I eventually stopped coming to my house. This infuriated her and my siblings, but I really did not care as she had caused enough havoc for me. She however told whoever cared to listen that my wife, Deola, would not deliver the baby on planet earth if her mission was to come into my life and chase her out.

Deola, eventually lost the baby, a still birth. This however kept me on my toes and my resolve not to have any of my family members in my house. I sent money for my mother’s upkeep. At a point, she refused to accept the money. I really wasn’t bothered about her action, but I made sure that I opened an account in which I dumped all the money she rejected.

As Deola is pregnant again, she has started having problems again. I was so troubled that I discussed my problems with a senior colleague and he told me that I need to go spiritual about this as my mother could be a witch.

I felt bad about what he said, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what he said. What if I agreed to go with him to the spiritualist and it is confirmed that my mother is a witch, what would I do? Please, someone help me.

George.

RE: Is my mother a witch?

Mr George,
Life is such like that, there is so much wickedness in high places. I felt sorry for all your ordeal. Some parents can be wicked. From your narration, I'm convinced your mother is in to an occultic association. When she pronounced the word you didnt counter it. She might have made covenant that you will not have children in this word,but you can brake the curse. The power is in your mouth, Proverb 18:21, sending her away or not seeing her is not the solution. Take the the battle to the enemy's gate. Go to a Bible believing Church. It is a spritual battle, three women and none of them has been able to conceive. Also dont rule out your siblings, Jesus says a man's enemies are members of his household. Pray to God to break off every of evil in your life. God will give you victory and you will laugh last. Also let me invite you to the annual convetion of the Redeemed Christian Church of God at Redemption cam from 6-12th August,2012. It is the 60th of his kind. God bless you as you come. Forgive your mother and pray to God to reveal anyone behind your problems. It is well with you sir.

Re: What if my mother is really a witch

George pls don't go to spiritualist. This is the kind of battle God want you to invite Him into because He has say it call upon me in the time of trouble and I will deliver thee. Do the same and He will surely deliver thee by attaining a spiritual and a prayerful church for God to reveal some secret things that you did not know for you. Remind bless.

Re: WHAT IF MY MOTHER IS A WITCH

Mr George, this is really pathetic but i advice you to be carefull with those spiritualist as some of them are not reliable but the ways and saying of your mother is questionable.Am a mother and no mother of her right senses would pray for her son to face such problems, i support you distance yourself from all members of your family including your mother but keep sending her upkeep allowance and pray with your pastor or imam as the case may be and all what they will hear later is your wife has put to bed INSHA ALLAH

TAKE YOUR FATE IN YOUR HANDS
written by Uzoma, July 19, 2012

Hello George, your story is a pathetic as well as unfortunate one. My people have the saying that the prayer of every responsible parent should be that his/her children be greater than him/her in life but the reverse seem to be your own case. The world we are into is full of evil doings. It is so bad now that people tend to derive joy from being diabolic including parents against their own children. I am a living witness to three incidences recently where parents vowed that it will never be well with their children even when it is these same children that are taking care, I mean good care of them. And when this is the situation it becomes a big problem because it will not be that easy for you to take a drastic decision against your own parents because of what people will say just like in your case hence your letter to the reading public. Needless to say that your mother's and siblings' attitude, actions and utterances suggests more than the ordinary. Be it as it may, going to a spiritualist I don't think is the solution as it might go a long way to compounding the problem already at hand. My suggestion is that this is your cross and you alone should better handle it to achieve a desired result. Take the petition to God in fervent prayers and ask him to break whatever yoke that has been placed against you by any one including your relations. You understand your problems and situations more than any other hence you should be the one to lay them bare before the Lord who is capable of changing situations. Your future and progress is in God's hands hence you should not allow any one to deprive you of them. Cheer up for it is well. Keep all those relations of yours at arms length for now but, continue to be nice to them until this spiritual war is over. I bet you they will all come back to confess and reconcile with you in the end. Good luck.

Seek divine intervention by going to a Christ believing church. There is immense breakthrough in praying...

there's no problem that is too hard for prayers
written by Nyfe, September 27, 2012

the bible say,"whatsoever we ask from |GOd in prayer shall be given unto us. bible also say,... only with prayer and fast shall u be able to do this things..." so therefore, there are some problems that u cant just solve ordinarily by kneeing and crying, what u need is fast&prayers for 3 days. also attend deliverance program during ds fast, i bet you, ur life shall never remain d same again.
but for breakthrough to manifest, there's always a sacrifice needed. someone must leave for u to be settled in life. it is well.
