STORY:
Power has shifted.
A man told a story. He told a story of how he dreamt. In his dream was a very big mountain that shook the realms of his dream. It was strange to him seeing such a mountain.
In real life, he was doing well โ his business was flourishing. But after that dream, everything changed. His business crumbled. Gradually, he started losing money without any known cause. In a short time, he sold his marketplace to solve a health problem. That was the beginning of his downfall.
He went from being wealthy to being completely broke.
One day, he went to a herbalist and said, โHelp me cure my sickness. I have gone to several hospitals and I have not been healed.โ
The herbalist looked at him and said, โYour wife died because of the mistake you made. You killed Ojugo in the quest for money. Did you remember when you sacrificed her to the gods of money?โ
The man became silent. The herbalist continued, โThe spirits of medicine have asked me not to heal you.โ
Fear filled the manโs heart. He realized the herbalist knew about his secret โ that he had sacrificed his wife for wealth. His health problems were not ordinary. The sickness was spiritual. It was the spirits of vengeance that struck him.
At the hospital, they gave him injections, therapies, and medications, but nothing worked. The doctors said he was fine, yet every night he had fever, chills, pain, and trauma. It was a mysterious sickness with no name.
The herbalist later told him, โThat mountain you saw in your dream was a message. It marked the beginning of your fall. Go home and call your kinsmen. You must confess before them.โ
The man refused. Afraid of shame, he ran away to another village to start a new life. But he was still sick.
Days later, he had an accident and died instantly.
When he died, vultures gathered and surrounded his corpse by the roadside. People were afraid and said, โThis kind of thing has never happened before.โ The car that hit him disappeared. His body was left there to decay. Soon, only bones remained.
That was how his life ended โ the same life he traded for money.
๐ญ LESSONS:
Evil money carries a spirit that demands repayment. You can hide from people, but not from what you summoned.
Destiny has time. You cannot force what has not yet matured. If you do, it will consume you.
Dreams reveal mysteries. When a man sees a mountain in his dream, he must seek interpretation, because sometimes, what we see at night is a warning of what is to come.
