My Husband Turned Me To His Maid

"I love him and I won't let the devil succeed in pushing us apart, in separating us. This is the devils handwork and I'm sure he's being possessed or manipulated by an unclean spirit." I interjected trying to reason with her.

She stood up angrily and started pacing.

"You make me very angry Miracle! Who is the devil? the devil is your husband who abuses and beats you. The devil is your husband who has no heart. You sit here claiming he's being possessed, possessed by what? You lie! that's a lie from the pit of hell, from the devil himself."

"The devil is feeding you all those thoughts so you remain with him till he kills you. Then your daughter becomes an orphan cause as far as I'm concerned she has no father." She shouted frustrated. She took a huge gulp from her glass and hissed. "You need to think rationally Miracle, think with your head not your heart"

"We battle not against flesh and blood But against principalities and power against the___"

"F.u.c.k all that trash. If there is any principality then He is the principality and power. Have you not given enough for him eh? have you not?.You left your family for him, friends ,job. You have given your life even your body for him yet he doesn't appreciate it. Who is the principality now? who is the devil.? Answer me Miracle, who is?" She hissed.

She was making a point but I was too blinded by my love for Cletus to realise it. I wasn't being a Christian l was being stupid. I was sure that even God in heaven would be ashamed of me. He didn't create me to be trampled upon but here I was being trampled upon By a man.

God would want me to fight for myself but here I was fighting against myself. How can he help me when I can't even help myself.

After everything Gozie said I could not help but see reasons with her. She was a friend indeed. We hugged and bid each other good bye with her begging me to put into consideration all she had advised me. I told her that I was going to,  but that I wasn't promising anything.

I did feel that being single she lacked the basic understanding of what it meant to be married.
