Growing up, i always heard the term " black sheep", it made me wonder why someone would be referred to as a black sheep of the family and i finally got to understand what that implies in a more personal way.
I didn't grow up to have a very close relationship with my sister's because we were separated when i went to live with my father's relatives. Nevertheless, we still communcated and gossiped as sisters would when ever we met.
I've heard some crazy things about my younger sister doing some shitting deals but i never took it serious nor believed that any sister of mine could be involved in such.
On one of my long holiday break from school, i came back home to lagos and visited my mother. My mother started telling me about a special man of God that my sister who was the supposed black sheep of the family had met, and how he had prayed and delivered her from her wayward lifestyle.
I was like okay, who could this man of God be, i would really like to meet him someday. Every now and then, i would get information from my mother that my sister was going to a far place for prayers and the same special man of God was doing the deliverance.
I don't know why i didn't feel good about my sister going to a strange place for deliverance, i felt like i was missing something, that we needed to get information about the man of God before something happens to my sister. The problem was, whenever i brought up the topic of the man of God, my mother would get angry that i was being disrespectful. I tried explaining to her that i was just being realistic because no one can be trusted this days.
On one faithful Sunday evening, i visited my mother and met the man of God, we exchanged pleasantries and i introduced myself. He started talking about prayer point he would love me to pray about and how our problems are caused by my family.
At this point i knew that was it, it had gotten to the limit and i couldn't take it anymore so i released the bombshell and challenged him outrightly, telling him that he is not a true man of God. The whole family was shocked at my statement, my mother was outraged at me because according to her i disrespected an annointed man of God. My mother demanded i apologized immediately to him but i refused, i stood my ground and wouldn't bulge.
I told them the next shocking words about the man of God sleeping with my sister in a pretense of going for prayers and deliverance. My mother screamed that i should keep quiet but no, i won't stop until i reveal the whole truth, i was ready to face whatever consequences that comes with my actions. I was sure that my investigations were hundred percent accurate so i won't back down now.
The man of God told my mother that i was possessed and needed deliverance, i told him that nothing was wrong with me but instead he was the one twisting the word of God. I started citing scriptures of how one should live by godly devotion and avoid any defilement of flesh to make my mother understand that nothing was wrong with me and that i was sane for she looked at me as a lost child. I knew that the bombshell i had released was really difficult for her to grasp but i just couldn't sit and watch the so called man of God continue to deceive my mother and sisters.
Mother asked me to leave and return when i was ready to apologize for my wrongs. I left with plans of how to uncover the deceit of the man of God. In all this, my sister kept mute and continued going for prayers and my mother acknowledged that the prayers were working because my sister was better behaved.
Few months later, my sister became ill, after administering medication, she still wasn't getting any better so she was asked to go for a test so we will know what the exact problem is. She finally went for test and it was discovered that she was pregnant. My mother was shocked, how did she get pregnant?
My sister was callled in for questioning, after several threats from my mother, she finally opened up that she was pregnanted by the man of God, the special prayers was an excuse to stay days with the man of God. He had also been extorting money from sister. My mother was really disappointed, how did she miss this? She would have noticed that something wasn't right, she would have done more to protect her child she thought.
That was when they believed everything i had said, mother called me and apologized for not listening to me and not believing in me. She encouraged me to continue to look out for my sister's no matter what the outcome is.
