“It is ok for a child of God to be awed at God’s awesome Presence and His Power, but to be surprised at what your Heavenly Father can do is …odd.”

Have you ever had one of those incidents where you were in your own house then someone walks in and on seeing you there, they surprise you with the usual statement of “oh I thought it was so and so”
or
“oh, I thought I saw someone standing behind you!”
These kind of incidents need a lot of intense, agonist, interventional, and repeated prayers with inclusion of Holy Ghost filled intercession type of praying!
Here why you might agree here.

It happened to me and to breathe the weight of the matter home, it was between my own husband and I.
There was this day I decided since it was my day off from work I planned to spend it generally cleaning up and arranging our entire house. So, just like all the great women out there, I turned myself into a stay at home mum that day and got busy working. With kids at school and my husband at work, I had the whole house of hotelier representatives to myself.

Everyone messes up there room coz mum is always gonna clean it up for them!

Salute to those who are stay at home parents because it is only you who truly appreciate the serenity and calm ambience of the house when everyone has gone for the better part of the day.
I must mention that the culture where I was born and raised up from identifies both stay at home mothers and stay at home fathers! However from my original culture back to where our family roots from, they only recognize the stay at home mother since this culture clearly defines a man as the bread winner.

The strangest of them all is that the culture where I got married to only recognizes the stay at home fathers and here most bread winners are women! With all the westernized trends slowly making their way into the comfort of our couches to be on the safe side, it’s better to salute all the stay at home parents!

That busy day, I was busy minding my own busy cleaning up everything. Of course that day I remember well I had started with cleaning up my prayer closet since it was a while since I poured my soul before my Maker. The minute they left the house, I locked up the main gate and went to my secret prayer place and immediately dived into my spirit worshipping God, crying out loud in praise and managed to pray out my heart to God kneeling for a good while at the mercies of the floor carpet.

When I was done with praying, I proceeded with the other chores and since our kids are usually served with school lunch meals, cooking was to take place once the entire family was back home as usual.

Like I said earlier, I was busy minding my own, busy busy busy and I was so concentrated with how I was scrubbing my cooking ware ‘sufuria.’ I was scrubbing, rinsing it, checking whether it has reached my desired shine, then scrub some. So at that point where I was rinsing it and raising it up to assess the shine level, the kitchen door handle was touched and that’s when I saw him facing me!
For the first time, I felt
my husband had temporarily acted selfish on me because the minute he saw me he screamed out and didn’t give me a chance to scream. It was one of those dramatic moments where the memory is best recorded in the mind. See, this is what had happened.
My loving husband would always text me some beautiful lovely flirtatious messages as part of our marriage routine goals and as the wife I’d respond..!
However, this powerful day, the devil I must mention somehow had made sure I didn’t remember to turn off my phone’s flight mode after finishing up with my prayer.
This worried my poor baby that day to the point of sending him back home an hour earlier to check out what had happened with me.
So, when he arrived, he noticed the main door was locked and this spruced his worry level. He quietly opened the door with his spare key, and came straight to the kitchen since he could hear the water running.
So when he popped in the kitchen, the first thing my husband saw was the shine reflection from the cooking pot I had just finished scrubbing and I was

simply holding it up to assess it if was shinning enough. The reflection he saw was so bright that the only reaction he thought of was to scream out loud. So, now I was like, honey, why are you screaming? That’s when he gave me the title. “Babe, I thought I saw some very powerful light come out of you, one similar to electricity!”
So, I was like, ” sweet, you mean you have never seen electricity before?” To be honest,
I was both surprised and somehow felt lost for a while. If anything, I was the one who was surprised to see him home that early.
Here he was, my darling of husband telling me he was surprised to see me his one and only wife in our usual house and doing my usual house chores. I somehow felt lost because my husband had just experience a supernatural encounter with God at my expense!
My thought line was so engaged that my husband swiftly brushed the whole incident with a soft touch on my cheek and asked me when I’m done I follow him upstairs!
In Matthew 1:18-20 Joseph, the betrothed husband to be of Mary, minded to secretly put away Mary or to call off their engagement having found that his Mary was of child of The Holy Spirit.
Joseph was having one of those “oh I thought I it’s someone else’s pregnancy” kind of situation.

The Bible records Joseph of being a just man meaning that he lived a ‘godly life.’

🔥Let us pause for a moment and calm here💭!

What godliness was Joseph going to portray by leaving Mary now that Mary was pregnant and go looking for another virgin to marry even after having gotten to the point of proposing to Mary the first virgin!

Joseph’s plan to secretly abandon Mary was probably going to work for his outside reputation but his spirit would not let him find peace having known he let Mary down! This kind of godliness is not from God because God does not look at the outward appearance, meaning, it is of prior importance to God if His children will have eternity having lost one hand rather than miss eternal life trying to retain both hands.
The picture is that though Joseph was godly, at this point where he minded to call off their engagement, Joseph’s godliness was sprouting from a religious belief or his religious background fearing what his family and friends would think of him marrying a woman who was with child by someone else!
He thought he saw another man’s pregnancy in his wife to be only for the angel of God to burst him with “see, I even know your name and your family name, Joseph, son of David” reality check!

With God, there is not a single room for confusion about anything.
Joseph loved Mary to the point of proposing to her, and trust was paramount despite the situation that Mary was found to be of child not by Joseph.

My husband’s surprise to see me that day somehow sent me lost briefly because, who else was he expecting to see other than me his own wife in our house!
Though God Is not known for intrusion, He equally doesn’t require our permission to finish up the good work which He started in your life.

Not every believer who suffers spiritual attack has demons!
Not every believer who experiences supernatural encounter has God!

Seek to see God everyday more than seeking for supernatural experiences!
Seek to see God more everyday more than seeking for His miracle working power!

Just like any godly relationship, when you get to know God, His works, His signs and His awesome wonders will not catch you by surprise!

Unless The Owner of the house is absent, when you go to God’s house expect to see God HIMSELF clearly Who Is the true Owner of the house and you will not be left confused and wondering what you thought you saw!
