Demons were always on the run when he goes on his knees to pray.” Mom continued.

“I was walking on a lonely path that fateful day and he walked past me but because I was deep in thoughts, I didn’t see the face of the person who walked past me. Then I heard my name from behind, Baba called my full name. I turned but couldn’t tell whom he was, I had not seen or met him before.”

” who are you? ” I asked and he waved my question aside and said.

“Demons were always on the run when he goes on his knees to pray.” Mom continued.

“I was walking on a lonely path that fateful day and he walked past me but because I was deep in thoughts, I didn’t see the face of the person who walked past me. Then I heard my name from behind, Baba called my full name. I turned but couldn’t tell whom he was, I had not seen or met him before.”

” who are you? ” I asked and he waved my question aside and said.

” You are pregnant with a child ”

I was shocked to hear him say that because I was the only person who knew about the pregnancy and had not told anyone I was pregnant.

” Keep the child”, he said ” your womb has been chosen to birth a star which shall give light to many nations. At her rising, hell shall know no peace. She shall wreck hell for she shall not be among those whose life favors hell.

With a chafed heart,she shall spill the blood of demons on the streets of her generation. And great shall be the battle against her destiny.” Baba spoke with his eyes lifted up to the sky. He looked down at me then continued as if trying to sound a warning to me,”She shall bring hope to many, set the captives of the mighty free,she shall be a life giver and great shall be her light.

But you must watch jealously over her life in prayers and teach her the ways of the Lord. At the age of 14, you shall be taken away from her to face the battles over her destiny alone but if you will be wise enough to invest enough prayers into her life, your utterances over her life and that of her guidance Angel shall save her at last.

But if you fail in your duties as a mother, star attackers shall devour her star and glory and great shall be her down fall; and her falling shall birth the failures of many other destinies connected to her…”

“These were the words of Baba fire to me concerning you Zion” mom narrated.

” what’s the meaning mom?” I asked

” it means that you are a born star and a child of great destiny… ” she began to explain but I was too excited to allow her finish up as I began to giggle in excitement.

“I’m a star!!!” I exclaimed but she shushed me.

” Listen, your dream last night just confirmed it and also revealed that the star attackers are after your star and a time will come when I would be taken away from you to fight them alone… and you shall lose focus because of my dep..a.rture” mom explained with a paint up emotion as if she was going to cry.

“Z girl,” she called trying to maintain her composure. ” Don’t tell anyone about this “she instructed and I nodded my head in obedience.

” we need to pray and fast, I will map out your own personal prayer points for you before you go to school ” she said in finality and released me to go and Carry out my morning chores.

Mom had trained me on how to fast and at the age of 10, I could fast from 6-12 without any form of discomfort. The whole of that week ,our devotional prayers in the morning and at night were all made for me.

I also heard mom narrating my dream and the happenings in my life to someone on the phone whom I guess was Baba fire because the person kept on instructing her on what to do and she kept on responding, “Yes Baba, anya baba…”

Mom woke up every midnight to pray for me. She does this by laying hands on my head speaking in tongues and laying utterances over my life. I could remember one of such utterances, ” you shall never succeed in sin Zion, you must fulfill destiny and the conspiracies of hell shall never stand…”

Sometimes, I wondered if she ever sleeps at night. Happy is every child that has a mother like mine.

At school, I was excelling above my equals and was placed on scholarship. At home, I was an obedient child for I had read in the children daily guide that children should obey their parents for there’s a reward.

Mom was so dedicated to the things of God , especially in our church – Word of God ministries and I followed her footsteps keenly. I came to love my mom so much that she became my idol.

Maybe because of the strong bond between us ; from birth, she is the only family member I grew up to know and I had never asked her about my father and possibly my other siblings, if any. She was just enough for me.

There was something I found strange but exciting in my life…

What could that be biko?
