There’s this narrative of a certain young man who journeyed to a far country in search of a one well known traditional herbalist! The herbalist was said to possess some sort of “strange powers” that cured every illness and was rumoured to offer abundant life filled with luck and charm!

Unknown to many, the herbalist secretly brainwashed the entire region with witchcraft just to gain their trust! As wicked as he was, the herbalist was esteemed as a type of deity by so many people including the young man.

All his agemates and friends who visited the herbalist had their lives changed for the better, so it was not a surprise when this young man decided to visit the herbalist.

The journey was long and it took him so many days. One was required to drive miles of roads, climb steep mountains and cross rivers to arrive there yet the young man was willing because he had a motive! To become rich enough to fit in the league of his friends!

So, eventually he was happy to finally arrive at the said herbalist’s village because to him, his problems were about to end!

He proceeded to the herbalist house, his turn came and he entered the house backwards as was the norm carefully following all the instructions laid out before seeing the herbalist. The young man was so excited for the honour of sitting facing the so “god.”

This chill of reality gave the young man all the nerve he needed to vent out all his misery to the herbalist hoping for clear cut solution!

The herbalist then explained to the young man the main cause for his misfortunes was his OWN BIRTHYEAR but swiftly promised the young man once he fulfilled certain ritual sacrifices, all would be answered!

This reasoned well with the man. He offered all expectations to satisfaction!

So, the final leg came and the herbalist ground some powder “concoction” meant to be part of the man’s “ABUNDANT MONEY PORTION REMEDY.”

He took the powder mixture, poured it on a white piece of paper, and ordered the young man to fold up the paper with the powder inside explaining that the number of folds the young man would be able to make would signify the number of cars, houses, enterprises, children, wealth and even countries this young man would possess!

Of course the young man received this with great anticipation and made sure he folded the paper to smallest size he could because the mentioned results motivated him! He was then directed to place the folded paper in an empty pot in front of him and after a few strange incantations by the herbalist, the young man was ordered to remove the folded paper, then open it up and read the equation or writings which would be in the paper.

He was careful to follow up with the witchdoctor’s instructions and he started opening the folded paper.

Suddenly, the herbalist screamed and started shouting at the young man to quickly fold up the paper again because the concoction which was in the paper had started to work but this was not what the herbalist had expected.

It was too late!

THE PAPER HAD OPENED ON IT’S OWN!

The white powder mixture inside the paper had disappeared and was replaced with Some Writings! Again of course the herbalist ordered the young man to put back the paper into the pot because the herbalist thought that the young man was disobeying the him! It was end of road for the herbalist! On the other hand, the young man’s mouth opened up and He read what was written on the white piece of paper! This is what was written,

“Seek The LORD while He may be found. Call upon Him while He Is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to The LORD and He will have mercy on him. And to our God. For He will abundantly pardon.”

Obviously this was not the expected outcome for both the herbalist and the young man. The herbalist received different instructions at the back of the paper commanding him to surrender and confess immediately!

To this day the young man confesses that after obediently studying The “Writings” and mended ways with Maker. He even developed a closer walk with The Holy Spirit.

According to him, the young man’s decision of choosing to believe in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior has changed his life for the better more than his peers, because now he lives in ABUNDANCE and his eternity is assured. WHAT A WISE DECISION HE MADE! THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM!

The “Writings” seemed to have given him a clear REVELATION for his life and he even remembers saying out loud, ” I RECEIVE LORD!”

He remembers saying these out loud, and later that day the young man knew The Truth about his life and from that day he was liberated from all bondages!
