Thoughts on the Special Verse

 

Listen! Mary Habila’s blood cries out to the Lord.

Some time ago, I was sitting on a couch in my living room when the Almighty God said to me, “You are the head.” Startled, He added, “Didn’t you stand in the gap for everyone?” I immediately understood why He had said that.

Before then, a woman I met on the road told me she had attended a programme led by a pastor from Nigeria. The pastor located her and asked, “Do you know who that Osondu Nworu is?” The pastor also asked her to bring me.

In reality, I didn’t believe her much because I wondered why a pastor would want to see me. But the Spirit asked me to follow her to the pastor. By then, the pastor’s programme had finished, so she took me to the pastor’s hotel in Westminster.

As soon as we entered the pastor’s room, he told me that the Lord had asked him to tell me to undertake 3 weeks of fasting and prayer to break a yoke. This is because my ancestors shed blood in their idol worship, and it is meant to stop the havoc the devils are causing. Whenever the blood cries out, the devils take advantage to unleash havoc on every member of my family line, no matter where they are on this earth.

Believe me, no amount of money can save anyone in a family line where the blood cries, even if you heap up cash more than all the Nigerian ministers put together. At least there is no peace. How many families are suffering from a lack of peace, even in the presence of abundant money?

Until now, I knew about the bloodshed problem in the family. I also knew that I was born to resolve it, but I didn’t know how or what to do. I also learnt that this has been the root of my problems since conception.

Everyone, from the father of my grandfather, who was still alive when I was born, to my grandfather, father, mother, uncles, cousins, aunts, and the rest, had at one time or another tried, without my knowledge, to prevent me from carrying out this particular will of God.

Every yoke is broken.

After the meeting with the pastor, I began the 3 weeks of fasting and prayer, but I was not satisfied with the outcome. Then, by the grace of God, I came across the yoke-breaking prayers of a prophetess. On my own initiative, I began another 3 weeks of fasting and prayer.

You see, I am not boasting; no demon can withstand my prayers. Whenever I pray against them, I hear them cry out, and I stop only when God Himself asks me to.

Another thing that helped me was this incident. My grandfather died in 1980, aged over 100. He had 12 wives but was survived by four. On the eve of his burial, my father, the first son; the second son from another mother; my father’s immediate junior half-brother; and I went somewhere by 12 midnight.

To date, I still wonder why these 3 men took me with them on that journey, despite the many young men available, knowing now that everyone wanted to prevent me from breaking the yoke. That day, it was nothing but curiosity for me; I saw these demons firsthand, and what I saw that day helped me destroy the idols during the fasting and prayer section.

However, whatever their reason for taking them along, they made a mistake. I thank Yahweh Gibbor Milchamah for that mistake, which brought me victory and enabled me to stand in the gap for everyone in the family line, both living and yet unborn, across the world, and to break the yoke completely and forever.

No blood cries out against us any more. THE YOKE IS COMPLETELY BROKEN.

My Prayer…

Gracious Lord, I come before You with a humble heart, longing to fulfil the vows I have made in Your presence. May Your guiding light strengthen my resolve and fill me with the courage to walk the path You have set before me.

I trust in Your divine wisdom and embrace the hope You offer, knowing You are always with me on my journey. Help me, Lord, to remain steadfast in faith, honouring my commitments with sincerity and love. In Your name, I pray. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, with a humble heart, I come before You to fulfil the vows I have made, seeking Your strength and guidance to walk faithfully in Your light. May my actions reflect Your love and grace, and may my spirit be renewed with hope as I strive to honour my commitments. Help me, Lord. Amen.

Not my head, not my people’s head. Every bewitchment, every weapon forged against me, backfires, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
