After proper arrangements were made, my wife to be and I agreed to hold our wedding on her passing out from youth service, so we did the introduction midway to her service year. The main event was to hold two weeks before her pop. We did the necessary traditional marriage rites as advised by the elders.
I remembered two challenges that arose a and how God settled all for me.
The first one was to buy a life goat for the elder brother who is now standing in for the father, so by their family tradition a goat would be killed and the blood spilled on the grave of the late father. The brother was unable to explain details to me for reasons best known to him. How ever he communicated to his maternal uncle who kept it close untill our wedding day.

On the day of our wedding in the morning hours, the entire atmosphere was darkened as though it was becoming as nightfall, alas I was dressing up in my apartment when my phone rang it was my fiancee, she called to inform me about the weather and what would happen if it rained. The time scheduled couldn't be readjusted as the priest to officiate had other serious engagement.
We where three in my room, myself, my brother and my best man. We all came outside and saw the condition, it looked as if someone wanted to spoil the day for us.

the pending blood sacrifice....
This was the second day of our honeymoon, towards the evening, the uncle said, 'look, I've already told him that what he (the brother) Is asking won't be possible as I've known you, but I feel the obligation to still tell you the situation. I responded politely and asked why my wife's brother couldn't relate it to me directly. What ever it is I promised to take care of it speedily but also insisted that my wife should be kept our of it. Immediately after the call, my wife enquired about the person that called, and I told her it was her uncle, she concluded that maybe it's because of some money they wanted me to send to them and I replied her that it has already been settled.
I had already started praying but didn't Inform my wife what I was praying about, but she was also part of the prayers and all along I reminded God that Jesus had already offered the ultimate sacrifice and had also pronounced on the cross that it is finished. I prayed fervently pleading nothing but THE BLOOD OF JESUS, THE PRECIOUS LAMB OF GOD. THAT BLOOD THAT SPEAKS BETTER THINGS THAN THE BLOOD OF ABEL AND ANIMALS. I asked that the blood of Jesus be poured on the grave of the late father to settle the matter once and for all.
After praying for three days, I called the uncle to inform him that the issue have been resolved, and that was the end of the matter. Nobody ever asked of any animal from me or whatsoever. It's been nine solid years of marriage now with three children, and God had been faithful to us, trough thick and thin.

I give all the glory, honour, praise, and adoration to God almighty for what he has been doing for my family. I worship Him who is sitting on the throne in heaven. The lamb of God and the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Ancient of Days.
Thank you Jesus.
