PART 2
As soon as Kehinde left for work, She decided to take his matter to God in prayer. she went on her knees and was lost in prayer for the next four hours. her prayer went like this
''Father, defend me in my marriage, cast out every demon that has possessed my husband's heart''. Proverbs 21:1 says, "The king's heart is in the hand of the lord, he turns it whichever way. Oh God turn my husband's heart away from sex and all things of the flesh during these 100 days of fasting, in the name of Jesus. Towards the end of her prayer, she suddenly got an inspiration from the Holy Spirit on what to do next.
There was no point trying to tell Kenny he could not have sex with me, she only had to use wisdom to avoid it by doing things that will not even get him interested. So she decided not to have her bath the whole of that day. she knew how much Kenny liked me bathing and all clean. By the time he got home around 7pm that day, she made sure dinner was ready. she could not have been more wrong because another argument ensued as soon as he came in through the door.
''Madam, have you sorted out your issues yet?'' he said.
''What issues Kenny? Please come and have your dinner''.
''Did you think I was joking? Did you think not taking your bath will work on me? Or you did you think I will not know you enough to know that not taking your bath is a tactic to avoid sex?''
she was quite shocked and kind of speechless that he immediately realized what her plan was.
''Kenny, please be understanding. I need to consecrate myself to God''. she resorted to begging instead.
''Lola, get it straight, I am not asking you not to fast. What is wrong with having sex between 6pm that you break your fast and midnight that the next day starts? That is all I am asking'' he tried to negotiate.
''I am sorry Kenny, I don't believe that is good enough. I am supposed to be consecrated for 100 days. Having sex during that time just makes me feel unclean''. she explained.
''What is unclean about sex between husband and wife babe? It is totally biblical''
''See Kenny, you just need to be patient. I have just 85 days left and then we can go back to doing the dirty''.
''Let me tell you something Lola, this is the last time I will have this discussion with you. If you cannot find a way to balance your marriage and fasting, then you just might not have a marriage to come back to after your 100 days'' he said.
''What do you mean by that Kenny? God forbid such confession?'' she said immediately.
Kenny left her standing there and went into the room. her surprise was complete later that night when he moved most of his things to the guest room. she was going to beg him but she just later decided it was for the best if he stayed in the guest room for the next 85 days. This was probably God's way of creating a solution for her. she went on her knees that night and sang in gratitude to God for making a way for her where she thought there was none.
By day 60 of her fasting and prayer, she was officially frustrated. The joy and excitement she got from fasting and prayer had gone. Kenny and she had become total strangers in the house. He had not eaten her food in over 6 weeks and she was officially worried. He had started coming home quite late and they did not even talk anymore. Every time she tried to talk to him, he just shuts her out. they both went to work and came back and went into separate rooms. she did not even know where to start from. she knew for a fact she had not done anything wrong and was just doing the best for their marriage and she wondered constantly why Kenny was so blinded by unreasonable rage. she wondered where all the promises of not going to bed in anger went.
she finally reached the end of her rope that week when she got a text from him around 8pm saying,
''Don't wait up for me. I wont be coming home tonight''.
she could not believe her eyes and she immediately sent him a text saying,
'' Where are you? Why wont you come home?''
His reply made me burst into tears. ''Please ask the holy spirit to reveal it to you in prayer''
My marriage is in trouble she thought to herself...........
