That’s a topic in one of my yet to be released books titled ” VISITS”. It’s a compilation of visits to very deep places in the sea. Yes very deep places like that. It’s also chronicle of visits by inhabitants of such deep places too. Now you may begin to call me “Nwa mammy water”. I laugh. However today the 15th of April marked an end to all those visits 37years ago.
It was 15th of April 1985. I was just 19years old and was having my secret battles with this woman from the sea that kept on visiting me and disturbing me to serve her. I was also battling with reluctantly finding myself in other worlds under the water. Who would I tell?
I kept on running in my dreams. Either I am swimming out of the water and running endlessly till I woke up or something. Wether you think I was imagining things or not it’s entirely your cup of tea. These were so real to me. I will not go into the details here. However I have seen some women advertise themselves on face book as worshippers of eze nwanyi or call themselves eze nwanyi aka mammy water or queen of the coast etc. . It’s such a pity and tragedy. Does she exist ? Absolutely. Revelation categorically mentions her. She is amongst the fallen angels that rebelled with Lucifer. Details later.
So this particular day I had been beaten to a pulp by two huge demons at the command of this so called queen of the sea for stubbornly refusing to carry out my supposed assignments. Nonsense assignment. I wasn’t imagining things.
Anyway I woke up that day weak and almost breathless and weakly called out my late sister Nonny. I told her I wanted to serve Jesus and wanted to give my life to Christ. Nonye had gotten born again before everyone in the house and bore the full brunt of our demonic taunting and persecution. I was the ring leader. So you can imagine how she felt when her chief tormentor, the Saul in the house wanted to follow Jesus. There was joy everywhere. All her fellowship members knew this her rude and nasty demonic younger sister. There was also joy in heaven which is a given over a soul that repents.
My sister lead me to Christ after the sinners prayer that morning and by early evening though phones were a rarity her brothers and sisters on the LORD thronged my parents home in Apapa to see the new convert. There was joy and singing and much tongue speaking . I was full of joy. My heart was light. I couldn’t stop singing. The praying team left my home. My sister and my cousin were left behind and we continued our praise and worship.
Not long after I felt a gentle breeze over me and a gentle push and I fell on the bed. I told my sister something was pushing me. She ignored me and continued praising God. After awhile I felt this indescribable deep love for the first time and felt an invisible hand hold me in a very warm embrace and I started crying uncontrollably. I started asking Him, “But where have you been?” I knew my soul had longed for this redemption. I was home. I made a decision. I invited Him into my life. He came to me PHYSICALLY. YES. JESUS CAME TO MY ROOM THAT DAY 15TH APRIL 1985.
What happened after was what was expected . As written in the scriptures. Light shineth into darkness and darkness comprehendeth it not. My sister turned and said to me ” Baby you are speaking in tongues” I argued with her. I told her I was just praising God. She said no listen to yourself. I did. Low and behold I had gotten the baptism of the Holy Spirit directly from the GREAT VISITOR.
That was the greatest of visits that delivered me from the underwater visits and visitors. Yes they fought over the years. But He prevailed He bought me with his blood. He Redeemed and Ransomed me from the hands of him that was stronger than me. He Broke his yoke off my neck and burst my bonds. He restored my health and healed me of all my wounds. The GREAT VISITOR came and made my heart His Home.
NONYE, my late SISTER, Rest in Peace. . This is dedicated to you.I remember 15th of April 1985.
THE VISIT. To be continued
