RESCUED FROM IDIGUN TERROR
Born in an idol worshipping family, Ms Esther Otumunye from Lagos,
Nigeria, lived and slept in the same room with a very evil family idol.
It never occurred to her that the iron object her father called god,
would one day be the architect of shame, hatred and failure in her life.
The
father, an army officer, brought the idol from the village after he had
been struck with madness. The idea was that the idol would bring
healing and protect the whole house although it immediately turned the
father into a drunkard and an embarrassment to the community in the
barracks where he was staying. They called it Idigun, the god of iron.
The father, an army officer, built a small shrine for the idol in her
room by her bedside being his first daughter whom he loved. Whenever he
wanted to make incantations, he would ask her and her siblings to leave.
He would then close the door and call out her name, telling the idol to
take care of her. He would kill a fowl and use its blood as sacrifice.
Away in the dining room, the children would hear different voices yet it
was only the father who was in the room, pictures would be falling from
the wall and curtains blowing in the air. Afterwards they would be
told to prepare the fowl and eat it.
“My father would call out my name that I should be the one to eat the head of the fowl,” she said.
The effects of the idol became apparent while she was writing her
examinations. He father took a pen from the shrine and gave it to her to
use during the exam. She failed all the papers, a thing that surprised
even her teacher because she had been a brilliant student. It was while
in the university that the demon started to manifest physically. She
would hear footsteps when she walked on the road. She would also hear a
voice calling her name. When in her room, she would feel someone touch
her. In her dreams, she would see herself in water in the marine kingdom
where, one time they organized a feast for her. The idol cost her many
friends who accused her of being the cause of their misfortunes. They
said she had bad luck. It also destroyed her career. Seven years after
graduating, she had no job. On those very rare occasions where she would
get a job, it would not last six months. She also used to have serious
migraines. A voice would tell her to remove her clothes and walk out.
Every two months she would be admitted for typhoid.
She decided to come to The SCOAN and on that spectacular day of her
remarkable deliverance, as one of the wise men approached her, she
panicked. The evil spirit inside of her started to grumble angrily and
ordered her to bolt when the wise man stretched his hand over her. The
demon was arrested. Later, she fell to the ground during which she saw
two men – a giant draped in black who was very aggressive and a calm man
who glittered and was shining. She could not see his face as it was too
bright to behold. A conversation was going on between the two. The
giant man angrily taunted, “You can’t take her from me! She is mine!”
The man in white responded calmly, “She is the reason why I died on the
cross.” At the end, the giant man vanished and the glittering man picked
her up. Then she saw herself at The SCOAN with the wise man standing in
front of her, announcing to her that Jesus had set her free.
She testified that, after her deliverance, she has peace which she
never experienced. She does not experience the nightmares any more. She
is healthy in her body and her mind. When she looks at herself in the
mirror, she sees a big change. Before, she would sometimes see the face
of an old woman when she looked at herself. She sleeps well and wakes up
with a song of praise on her lips. Glory be to God!
