Greetings everyone,

Please, I'm in desperate need of a certain kind of help and my circumstance is bad.

I've been 70% deaf for 22 years, beginning June 1997 at age 15. It was just 3 months to my departure to the US for advanced studies when I awoke one midnight with terrible pains in my ears. By dawn, blood and puss were pouring out of both ears and my perfect hearing was gone. The issue affected my sight in a strange way. I could see well enough to move around like a normal person but couldn’t read because when I look at anything directly it’s black, even the sun. This was how Satan shut down my life at a young age and then removed the two people that would have fought for me... my mom and dad. My mom died mysteriously when I was 13 and then months after my problem came, my father became bedridden with illness for 16 years until death.

From then on my family fell apart. I'm the first son and my heart is clean. When Satan shut me down, i didn’t block my younger ones, I sat at home empty and allowed my dad train them as best as he could. Today, my sister is happily married with 6 kids and my London based younger brother has two... me? Nothing! They never even remember I’m alive now. My extended family is worse; there’s witchcraft there and it’s the source of most of my problems.

The situation is complex but I’ve explained so all understand when I say I’m alone in this world and my only hope of survival is marriage to a God-fearing lady.

My sufferings are for a reason. In the early days when I was searching for cure high and low, I was given to understand by different prophets of God that I am a modern day Job and prophet Jonah rolled into one. I was chosen and sent into the world to do God's work but was set to walk another path, hence God allowed Satan shut me down and so I would remain until I agree to serve God and the He would remember me in his own time.

At that time, no matter how I prayed or the church I went, nothing ever happened. Ordinary pastors would bind and cast till they got tired but true prophets would say I was different and God would heal me directly in his own time. Some of these men even refused to pray for me, saying plainly that my power was much greater than theirs (3 of these men are church founders).
It took me 10 years to accept my calling due to its nature. For one thing, I didn’t want trouble all my life and for another I wasn’t to start a church but to join one here in Nigeria, a country I didn’t want to live in, but then something happened. At a crusade one day, God used a strange prophetess to reveal to the heads of the church that I was the one that would carry that church overseas. That was the day I accepted my calling. That women later gave me a warning that I must be strong because Satan will try to stop me from standing in life with all his power. This was in 2007.

To cut a long story short, the opportunity to join the church at that early time passed me by due to financial problems that had me looking for money left and right instead of staying put at the church where God wanted me in a gradual healing process that seemed to stretch for 2 years. I spent the next 8 years trying to attend the Church’s yearly interviews but was always blocked by the high-ranking Reverend in charge of the Lagos district who felt I was not physically fit for it. In other words, this church will not accept me until God heals me and God won’t heal me until enter the church!

In 2015 I got fed up and almost turned away from God entirely but a prophetess told me to go for the next interview even if I still had the hearing problem and God would heal me there. When my father died later that year, I sold some of his properties I inherited and moved into a single room accommodation close to a small branch of the church so I could worship regularly and get healed. I also worked as a usher at the church.

Nothing happened for 3 years until my money finished and I have to move back to my father’s house and my step-mother’s endless troubles.
That interview came up last year October and I dragged myself to another Reverend, the one in charge of the church branch where I attend revivals and special prayers, to sign my application so I would attend it. The man agreed at first and even told me to make corrections which I did, but then, on deadline day he suddenly refused to sign it cos I am not a regular member of his church. On that day, there was no one to fight for me, to explain to this man that I was suffering from acute depression/frustration and lacked the finances to even feed myself much less pay 300-naira transport daily to come to his church. Deaf and part blind as I was, so tired of life and begging people, all I did was walk away without a word.

Between last October and this January, it’s been a fight to keep from committing suicide. A fight I won because I am not a coward and I always had sense of responsibility to all the people God wants to use me to help in this world. I cannot die and leave them, who will help them? All these hard hearted men of God who refused to help me in my day of need? I had to live for them and for me. I had to stand up no matter how late in life.

About this time, God informed me through a strange dream that my place in this world and among the leaders of that church will not be filled by any other person. I saw my seat vacant in that dream in a meeting of the churches 5 top leaders.

And this is the story of how I went from age 15 to today at 39, single and empty.

After this last incident with this Resend who refused to sign my paper, I suddenly realized that I should have gotten married before at all costs. My wife would have fought for me to the end and even supported me financially and emotionally. Certainly she would have given me the advice of trusting God over man and going for the interview without the man’s signature…. put God to the test with faith and see what happens.

My #1 obstacle in marriage has been poverty; that inability to take care of a woman. God solved this problem in October last year, when after more than 3 years of writing and publishing books on Amazon, some started selling. In total, I’ve made nearly $400 now and by the end of April, I should have the money in my hands and any more I make.

I had nothing before but disaster and emptiness and now I have over $400 and hope. This money is strictly for finding a wife and getting a house close a church where I will worship God very quietly until he comes knocking on my door again. I didn’t ordain myself and collect all trouble God did. He will come for me in the day I have peace, this I believe. The only thing that can give me that peace now is a good wife I will love completely.

The Help I Need.

The help I ask is simple. With my hearing problem and long isolation from society, I have certain setbacks that render me helpless in areas like communication with other people. Some even think I’m stupid sometimes cos I am so quiet in public.
Wooing a woman directly is something I have never done and it’s so hard now. Still I must do my talking myself. I just need to find the woman, gentle of heart and willing to listen.

I would be eternally grateful if someone could assist me in finding a god-fearing working-class wife, preferably of Igbo origin like me – (25-33 years of age). My choice in women is tall *(big), full figured and fair skinned. I guess some would say the sub-conscious part of me misses my mother…. that was her image and I have never found any other kind of woman attractive.

I live in Lagos and, if invited, would willingly visit any church in the state with a good number marriageable ladies. (I even planned to attened Synagogue Church of all Nations soon)
That’s it. My desire to find a wife and peace. Now you will understand when I say I need all the help I can get because I have no one to help me.

I omitted my phone number to remain anonymous. You can contact me by email and get it. I communicate well via texting on whatsapps.


Note: I have already been told to marry by two different prophets in 2017 but the financial thing kept me off. Now, when i do find this women i will consult God severally to know she is mine before marriage. I will not marry anyone who is not mine spiritually.

Greetings bro!

I am able to empathize with your situation because i fully understand a times how long it can take for God to fully prepare a vessel, and for His appointed time to come.

But be very careful to think that the solution to your problem lies in you finding a wife, because it may turn out another walk in the path that God has not chosen for you, and hence not turn out very well as the others have.

Why not ask God who has chosen you to find you a wife Himself, and orchestrate a way for you both to meet, if it indeed be His Will.

For God who has chosen you would know the kind of woman that would be suitable for you to enable you accomplish the purpose for which He has chosen you.

It's not a coincidence the extent of divorces in the church and amongst church leaders, for they usually marry without God's consent and approval, and hence often chose the wrong spouse which God has not chosen for them and hence such results.

So at least seek His face first concerning this, so that whatever happens it would be that you had done the right thing.

May God give the grace and direction to accomplish the purpose for which He has chosen you.

There was something strange that happened when i was 16. That was a year after my hearing problem came. I was at my village when i becaem ill and one of my aunts who has since been accused of witchcraft took me to a prophet to find our my destiny. You know this was one of these men of God that starts everything in their parlor before taking it somewhere.

When we got there, the man consulted his God then told my aunt that she can never answer for me spiritually that only my father can. The woman i marry must be able to "answer for me spiritually" or she is not mine. All this visions i revealed above were recorded by my father or step-mother then explained to me. I never heard a thing.

The first day i consult God about my wife i will go with my step-mother and wife-to-be. If the woman is the right one, then i will consult God alone with her elsewhere again to see how much information he will reveal to her. God is not an office where anyone can just come and steal a file of information.

My true wife has to be able to open my file before God and read everything in it. She is the only one that can ever do that.

Simple!

I added this correction to my post above

First, I am certain you were told to post details of your books here! Why did you disobey that instruction?

In all you wrote, this "church will not accept me until God heals me and God won’t heal me until enter the church", is just about the truest thing you wrote. From it, I deduce you haven't a clue what is meant by "church", and "enter", and "heal". But, you will. Nowhere in all of this does it seem you sought the help of doctors or professional help to overcome your difficulty! You listen to prophecies that seem to never come true yet still believe they might!

Words, are by what things are created, and you are a writer, a crafter of words, so I suggest you put your skill into those words. Do not limit yourself to what prophets tell you but listen to the voice from where the words you write come from. And in all things, Praise the Lord.

Contemporary Nigerian writers have a saying.... "Naija no de3y read". The same goes for the entire Africa, with the exception of South Africa and Kenya. They are the only reader nations in Africa and the market there is not even that much. So remind me again, sir, why i should post my book details here? I'm actually one of the best writers over in Nairalaqnds literature section, I promise i need no more Naija publicity.

All i need is what i have asked for here. This is even the second time i am asking for help, last time i got nothing. But what matters is i did try.




"From it, I deduce you haven't a clue what is meant by "church", and "enter", and "heal"."

You deduced very wrongly, sir. I have served at the alters of 3 different churches... and for a time been a visioner. If i didn't have a clue as to what i was doing would i be these? Or perhaps you deduced that i was a fool as well? Listen, in 22 years i have not heard a single sermon because of my hearing issues and my faith is not based on the bible. It is based on what i have seen with my own eyes in spirit... yes my prophetic gifts come and goes even as i am. The spiritual beings in whose presence i have stood before will terrify you and a mere mention of their name will ensure you life is never the same again. Ordinary people don't go there and still live. I'm supposed to be a dead man, that i am alive is a miracle in itself and i know who is responsible for it.

My writing skill was something given to me after my father's death. Until then i had no skill or certificate. I was empty completely dependent on my father. God told me to go and sleep in a particular church for one night that he wanted to give me a talent. I did and then began to have the urge to write. My first book had people screaming my praise... if you don't believe me email me and i will give a link to see for yourself.

As for your saying it doesn't seem like i have sought out doctors and professional help, let me ask you a simple question. When i a first son was brought down by such a problem do you really think that my father would not have moved heaven and earth to find a solution to it quickly?
I have been to so many hospitals and taken countless tests. The cheapest antibiotic drug i was put on cost 500 naira a tablet and the most expensive cost 2.5k... this was as of 1997. I was taking them daily without effect. The doctors didn't understand it. No one believed my story that the damage to my ear just happened without a touch. the doctors said i was lying, that i sued something sharp to damage my ears. I asked the a simple question, how is it that a sensible person like me will damage one ear with a sharp object then the other ear as well, they couldn't answer. They couldn't even detect any problems with my eyes and they were eye ear and nose specialists! Can you guess how much all this process cost?

Medical science is not the answer to my problem. It will go the way it came.... just like that.

If you wish to know any thing else ask. But please don't judge.


One last thing. About my being clueless as to what "church" is.
A lot of churches start the right way but all get derailed by greed and profit. In other words, your modern day church has become something of a money making business... this is part i hate most and wish to change if i can. In every church you will see pastors who care about your problem and those who care more about how much you donate every Sunday. If my father was a billionaire will the church not have given me special case? Will a Reverend have blocked me just like that? Maybe not. but you certainly misunderstood my comment .... "church will not accept me until God heals me and God won’t heal me until enter the church"
That comment was more out of frustration at particular people than anything else.

I added this correction to my post above

Well the way you decided to go about it is not bad as you would yet hinge it on God, but I think it even better you go about it as the servant of Abraham did when, his master had saddled him with the task of finding Isaac his son with a credible wife.

For the servant had prayed to the God of his master then, despite not knowing Him personally to lead him to the wife that He'd chosen for his master's son, so that he'd succeed in the task for which he had been sent by his master.

And God answered him and led him to the woman that he'd specifically chosen to be the wife of Isaac, that the servant was really pleased that the God of his master had answered his prayer.

And if you understand the role for which God had chosen Isaac to play with respect to the fulfilment of His covenant concerning Abraham, then you'd understand how important it was for God to choose a wife for him that would help him to accomplish the purpose for God in his life. You can get the full details in Genesis 24.

And since it was God that chose the woman for Isaac, I don't think it was a coincidence that he had no such problems in his marriage as that of his father Abraham, in the respect of Hagar and Ishmael, despite being married to Sarah.

And also that of his son Jacob who had complications in his marriage as he ended marrying two wives but also having children with concubines and all the unwarranted complications, because instead of seeking the face of God for his wife, had chosen to go about it by himself, and at the end what he had to go through just to marry the woman he chose for himself was something that he alone could tell.

But Isaac no such complications for just Rebecca who God had chosen for him was his wife until the day of his death.

I think you should stop depending solely on what people say or prophesy about you, and start getting answers from God directly, and I believe that you could have possibly married by now if you had asked God to provide his chosen wife for you, for God who provides the wife would also provide the means to marry her.

And I've seen such happen to people I have close ties with.

So that's my advice, because imagine that you keep taking women to God and He keeps rejecting them, what would you do? Start afresh?

So let Him chose for you, as He did for Adam, Isaac, Esther, Mary the mother of Jesus etc. for He knows the best choice for you.

Life!

So sad.

I'm only going to address the above. What evidence do you yourself have for your "Naija no de3y read"? Are we not Nigerians here, reading what you yourself wrote and even writing too, or do we not proofread what we post? And even if we don't read, would we not be the 'Church' you would have been sent to preach the Gospel to, which is precisely what the Word is, and which can not enter ones life unless read?

No, I'm not judging you. I just do not think you see (sorry) what God has given you because you focus on what was taken from you. Jesusjnr might be able to explain to you better that the perfect God is working God's perfection in you. I'd also have asked you to consider what solite3 wrote here except I don't think solite3 understands what the Holy Spirit compelled him to write by the way he is responding.

When you find the Kingdom of God all other things are sure to follow, unless God is a liar.

I'm a published author on okadabooks (African online bookstore), Amazon (Worldwide), Smashwords (worldwide distributor) and D2D (worldwide distributor)

I began by writing fiction in my real name and publishing on nairaland here and then okodabooks. That i went bankrupt in 2016-18 despite being a bestselling author with quite a number of fans on both platforms should tell you a lot. I have never met an author who writes and sell his books strictly in Nigeria who has made enough money to buy a car or rent a good house and pay his bills.

It was another Nigerian author that saying 'Naija no dey read' introduced me to the secrets of publishing on foreign bookstores all of which are based in the USA. The white man reads, he'll read anything and as long as you are good in what your write he will buy it.

Here, a few Nigerians will read and buy, yes, but only if its sound like a Nigerian movie. If its educative you are wasting you time. If you write a blog post and monitor visitors to it via country location you will notice that while only 3 or 4 Nigerians will read it, dozens of Kenyans and South Africns will read it. After a while the Americans will come and if they like what they see they will keep coming.

Go and ask any blogger what i have said.

I once read an article in the papers about Nigerians not reading which incensed me and propelled me to ship books to the library in the Orolu Kingdom. One day, ten years after my first shipment, I sat outside the library and a little girl, not yet two and barely able to speak sat with me rhyming what obviously was ABC which brought tears to my eyes. I teach all the young kids see, and she was the youngest of the lot. I said to myself that if anyone had told me the rhyming of this little girl would be my reward for shipping books home for ten years I would have told them to fuq off! Three years ago, about 20 years after my first shipment, I was opportuned to spend a long period in the Orolu Kingdom and lots of people would come to thank me saying if it weren't for the books that I supplied to the library they wouldn't have been any to learn to be able to read.

My point is, scatter your seeds with no care where they fall. Some will fall by the roadside and be devoured by birds, some will fall on rocky ground and be scorched in the sun, some will fall amongst thorns and choke to death and wither and die, and some will fall into good soil and produced grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.

I tell you the truth, a person of power is growing.

Ojiniman:



I'm a published author on okadabooks (African online bookstore), Amazon (Worldwide), Smashwords (worldwide distributor) and D2D (worldwide distributor)

I began by writing fiction in my real name and publishing on nairaland here and then okodabooks. That i went bankrupt in 2016-18 despite being a bestselling author with quite a number of fans on both platforms should tell you a lot. I have never met an author who writes and sells his books strictly in Nigeria and made enough money to buy a car or rent a good house and pay his bills.

It was another Nigerian author that saying 'Naija no dey read' introduced me to the secrets of publishing on foreign bookstores all of which are based in the USA. The white man reads, he'll read anything and as long as you are good in what your write he will buy it.

Here, a few Nigerians will read and buy, yes, but only if it sounds like a Nigerian movie. If it's educative you are wasting your time. If you write a blog post and monitor visitors to it via country location you will notices that while only 3 or 4 Nigerians will read it, dozens of Kenyans and South Africans will read it. After a while the Americans will come and if they like what they read they will keep coming.
