My special dedication goes to the bishop of the radiant
international church, Bishop Emma Omon.
NOTE: This is a prayer of warfare.
Read it before going to bed and first thing before the break
of day.
1. BATTLING YOUR ENEMY
Oh my father and my
king
The magnificent
defender
Under whose wings
I seek for shelter.
For evil prowls over
me
Night and day
To torment me
My body and my spirit.
I am subjected to
harsh living
And no help seems to
be near.
Arise, my lord
And release a
battalion
Of thy troops.
Let thy full wrath be
displayed
And let none of my
enemies to escape.
For this day,
Thou would deliver
them
Into mine arms,
And free my spirit
from their bonds.
Let their chief idol
that sits
At the centre of
their altar
be destroyed
by a furious
lightning.
Deafen my enemies
With a clap of thy
thunder,
Let the garment
in which they clad
themselves,
be full of wild
thorns
And let them run
about in confusion.
Let them be torn
apart
by wild beasts
From their waste
downwards
And let them be half
dead
and yet be feasted
upon by worms and maggots.
And when they are no
more,
Let their carcass
have no resting place.
Let this day
Serve as a remembrance
of victory to me
and let me sing
praises
Unto thee,
My lord and my king
Hearken unto me
oh lord,
hear the cries of a widow.
for i have lived in distress
since death claimed my beloved
for seasons due have i mourned him
and have observed all rites due
yet his kinsmen
and in their numbers
have made me know no sleep
those who ought to console me in my state
have come in fury
to rob me
of what is mine
my shelter, goods and valuables.
quicken thy steps unto me oh lord
and come to my rescue
Would my labor be in vain?!
or would thou have my children
be robbed of their inheritance?
Rise up this moment,
my defender
and engage my detractors
let my home
in which they have forcefully acquired
be like a burning furnace upon their flesh
let them never be comforted therein
As for my goods,
let no one trade it off them,
let them be ridiculed in the bargain,
and my goods returned to me
let them confess their shamelessness
and return to their huts in penury
This prayer is dedicated to all widows that have been cheated by their inlaws
