I decided that night that I had had enough of Kenny's
erratic behaviour and we needed counselling. I waited for him to come
home the next morning but he never showed up. I called him around noon
when I was getting worried but he did not pick my call. I got a text
shortly after saying,
''I am quite surprised you are looking for me. Don't worry, I am fine. Don't let me distract you from God''.
I decided it was time to seek counsel from my pastor's wife.
As I sat down with Mummy as we normally call her that
evening after a word of prayer and recounted the full story of our
challenges from the beginning of the fasting period. I was quite hopeful
that I will get solutions on the next step to take. Mummy looked at me
and shook her head as I showed her the last text I got from Kenny from
my
''Honour your father and mother, that your days might be
long'' I quickly replied wondering why we were talking about my parents
when it was my marriage that needed healing.
''Do you remember when you came to me and decided you
wanted to marry this young man who was barely a baby in the lord. I
warned you to look for giants in the spirit. If you had honoured my
words, surely the days of your marriage would have been long'', she said
with obvious annoyance.
''I am sorry mummy, I love my husband and I think he loves God too''
''He loves God? You are still defending his actions? A man
that cannot agree with you in prayer? That will not deny his body to
feed his spirit? She asked me.
''I am sorry ma'' I quickly said. Mummy was known for her short temper and I did not want to get on her bad side.
''Anyway the deed has been done. We need to find a way
forward. You see the devil is not resting. He is obviously seeking to
devour your marriage. Remember the scripture in Ephesians 6: 12 says, we
wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against
powers and against the rulers of the darkness of this world. The battle
is not with your husband. It is a fight in the spirit''.
''Okay ma'' I said.
''The devil knows this fast is going to liberate your
marriage and he wants to stop it at all cost. The flesh will be
satisfied eventually but you need to be spiritually fortified first. So
make sure you complete it in total consecration to God''.
''Okay ma. What do I now do about his refusal to come home ma?''
''Oh don't worry Lola, he will come home. He is like the prodigal son, he will surely return. Let us pray my dear''.
By the time I left my pastor's house after about two hours
of prayer. I felt stronger and better. Kenny was just over reacting and I
was definitely on the right course. I just needed to keep praying and
not let me faith be shaken. When I got home and met Kenny relaxing in
the sitting room, it confirmed to me that everything mummy said was
correct since he returned like she had prophesied.
As the days passed things got more estranged. Kenny stopped
going to our church and demanded I move to this new church he found. Of
course I vehemently refused. It is important to be grounded and not
church belly-hopping. I got daily text motivations from my mummy in the
lord and that just encouraged me.
Finally the last day of the 100 days came and it was
announced in church that couples should endeavour to attend together
since there was going to be an all night prayer. I begged and pleaded
with Kenny but he adamantly refused. I went to church alone that night
and prayed every prayer possible. My joy knew no bounds the next morning
because I knew that all the fight I had been n by having with Kenny was
finally going to be over. I was going to make sure we had as much sex
as he wanted later that night.
