CONVERSION OF A WOMAN'S HUSBAND

In the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ In the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ Now and forever more. Amen Dear brethren, I am really thankful to the Holy Father for bringing me into this new Kingdom, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. It is true as the Gospel reveals. For what merit is there in it if, when you are sinning and being slapped, you endure it? But if, when you are doing good and you suffer, you endure it, this is a thing agreeable with God. In fact to this cause we were called because even Christ suffered for us leaving us a model to follow his steps closely. In fact, all those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be persecuted. It was not an easy task with me when I was called to this kingdom leaving my husband behind. My husband, an army officer was opposed to this call. He took Brotherhood to be secret society or cult. He did not believe in any church putting on white soutane as true organisation of God. I was subjected to torture, beatings and indescribable punishments each day I returned from worship. Nevertheless this did not shake my love for Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. My husband later wrote to my parents his intentions to divorce me because of attending Brotherhood. However, my parents dissuaded him from doing so. A day came that there was a launching function at Ife Bethel of Brotherhood. One Brotherhood Sister had arranged to travel with me. When I told my husband about this, he .became furious and warned me not to go. That if I disobeyed him, I should not return to his house. However, with faith and love for the Father, I told him that I was going and if he prefered to send me away, I shall go and stay with the Father. I left for the launching at Ife on that day. On my return my husband was fully prepared for a show down on me. My son, told me that he was in a hide out waiting for me with a big stick. I had no other choice than to move into the house. He immediately came out and pounced on me. The scuffle was great that a neighbour came in and tried to settle the dispute. Before this neighbour came in, my husband brought out a sword and threatened to kill me. I was not afraid, and told him that I will not denounce Brotherhood, rather, I choose to die because of my faith in God. All along, my husband had a concoction in the house to which he occasionally consulted. Since my faith was against such things, I started sprinkling the holy oil on it in his absence, and the concoction became useless. From that time on, when my husband consulted the juju, there was no response. I was accused of being responsible. More trouble came up again on me, abuses and deprivations. One day he picked up the telephone and accused one Brotherhood pastor and requested him to come and take me away from his/house. However, the Pastor told him that a day was coming in which he would come and take me. That on that day, my husband too will accompany him to meet the Holy Father. My husband asked the Pastor whether that Father was the heavenly Father or the earthly Father. The Pastor told him the day will show it and shall prove the Father he is speaking about. Let thanks be given to the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was not long, my husband had real problems. He had secretly spent all his money in juju, all to no avail. One night he asked me what next to do. I suggested that, the Brotherhood Pastor being ordained person has the power of God in him, that he should be called so that he prays for him. My husband objected, very strongly. Notwithstanding, I sent for the Pastor and his sister (wife) to come. On the day the Pastor and his Sister came, my husband saw them in a distance and started to mock at me. But when the Pastor came into our house, he asked my husband to kneel down for prayers and he readily obeyed and knelt down. May thanks and praises be given to God in the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Pastor with black turban on and his Sister with the red turban were laughing stock to my husband. I was happy to see my husband kneel down for prayers and the Pastor gave him some severe patting on his head. He was later taken by the Pastor to see the Holy Father that he had earlier been told of. My husband was baptized into this new kingdom, Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and was later ordained and made a Pastor with that black turban he made fun of. From that day, my husband became sober, humble and God fearing. I am grateful to the Holy Father for all that He has done to relief me from my husband's daily tortures. My husband who was at one time very bitter about Brotherhood and persecuted me subjecting me to daily beatings, slapping is now a Pastor in Brotherhood. My husband is now happy to be a Brotherhood. Humanly, I used to think that the Father does not recognize me, because I was first called and was not ordained but my husband who has just come in was ordained and made a Pastor. But today, my joy and our joy has been made full, for the Holy Father has also called me to the ordained seat and to sit with my husband. The same spiritual powers that He imparted to my husband is also given to me. My joy and happiness cannot be expressed. This new kingdom cannot be compared with anything in this world. I am so convinced that my love for the Father cannot be severed by marital, relations or parental tie. May it be the will of the Holy Father to continue holding my husband tight and the entire household of faith to the praise and honour of His Holy Name, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. THANK YOU FATHER.
