Hello hive family, hope this week has been a favourable one. I have a question, have you ever met a false prophet? Well i did when i was fourteen and this is my experience.

Theres usually one particular child in a family that has so much energy, is very nonchalant, and is different that it raises the concern of the parents.Unfortunately, or should I say fortunately (because it has its own perks), I'm that child.

Growing up, I knew I was different from my siblings, and being different in a place where no one understands you makes you the bad child, the rebel, so I acted like one.

One day, it was the eve of Christmas, and I went to a friend's house not so far from mine. There was music, adults dancing, and alcohol. I was just fourteen at the time.My friend suggested we taste the alcohol, and so we did. We took calypso; it was sweet but had a burning sensation. We liked it and kept on drinking till we got drunk.I threw up and passed out; unfortunately for me, I woke up the next morning at home to an angry dad.

MEETING THE FALSE PROPHET

My dad was furious and said we were going to church for deliverance, so I went with him with the worst headache I have ever had in my life because of a hangover.

We got to the church and met with the pastor. It was weird to see a pastor with unkept beards and hungry-looking eyes. He told my dad he just came from a 20-day fast on the mountain, so I guess that was why he was looking unkept. My dad told me a friend of his recommended the pastor to him.

THE DELIVERANCE BEGAN

He called two ladies to join him; they began singing first, and all of a sudden he started jerking like he was having a seizure. Then he placed his hand on my head and started screaming, “OUT!! OUT!! OUT!!... every spirit of your forefathers." It was funny; I almost laughed.

Then he stopped and looked at me and said, "Your mother's mom is the one tormenting you from the grave.” It was very funny; I had to laugh, and I said, “But my mother's mom is still alive; just my dad's mom is dead." He was caught off guard and said he misunderstood the Holy Spirit and that he meant my dad's mom.

My dad overheard and got very angry. He told them to stop the deliverance and asked the prophet to refund the ten thousand naira he had paid for the deliverance session( according to my dad, the 10k was for anointing oil and deliverance water).

The prophet is still maintaining his act so his disciples don't see him for the fake prophet that he is, said my late grandma was speaking through my dad so that I wouldn't get delivered.My dad was beyond furious and held the fake prophet by his shirt and demanded the money. His disciples, clearly brainwashed, started praying and casting whatever demon from my dad. My elder cousins that came with us heard the noise and came into the church to see what was happening. Not even waiting for an explanation, they started scattering the church.It was a chaotic day lol, but we left the church with the Ten thousand naira, and my dad never brought up another deliverance session, and presently he has grown to understand me and accept my indifference.

Thanks for reading, and i would love to know if you have ever encountered a fake prophet before.
