Humanity, mankind; man, woman and children, animals and all of nature alike since the fallen of the man of darkness has never remained the same again.
He has forced man to battle for his fate or else be crushed by his fury - the battle field.
I saw the carcasses of man, beast and nature lay helpless with no iota of life in them.
The enemy has placed his soldiers all around to monitor and clear off nucleus of existence as he goes in hunt for more to avenge for the defeat of his battle with Micheal.
On this day, I found myself walking with my head bowed in agony for the drought that had bewildered the nations, squishing and crushing every life out of them.
I saw skulls, bones and dust covered the face of the terrain with no hope of restoration.
Then I lifted my head and saw a garden with path made of gold. The trees and leaves sparkling, sang beautifully such that my imagination was fast beaten beyond that which I had seen.
A road traveled through it to a destination far beyond my comprehension.
Its quietness was deep that one could hear the voices of the wind speak.
As I journeyed in awe of the creation from the creator, I saw the feet of one dressed in white apparels. His glory beyond what I could describe.
Awed by his appearance, I lifted my head to behold his facial nature but I only saw light beaming from his countenance.
He stood tall as the tallest of all mountains in the world.
In his hand was a lamb that was so beautiful, so much that my admiration danced to what it saw.
"My son David!" His voice echoed "Take this lamb and take care of it until I return."
I looked at him trying to find meaning to what he was saying but without wasting time, he placed the rope to which the lamb was tied into my hand and turned to walk away.
"Yes Lord! I will." I said to him as I turned back and my eyes opened from the vision.
Immediately after this encounter, something happened in the realm of the spirit that I would get to know many years when that stage of battle had come to an end.
Lucifer and his cohort stood on a mountain far away monitoring what was taking place.
Lucifer: "Cohorts of darkness, do you just see what has taken place?
A star is about to rise in the realm of mortals. If it does, my Kingdom would yet again be tore apart and revival would be restored to the land of the living."
Satanous: "My lord Lucifer, what is it that the righteous one has given to him?" Satanous, the second seed of Lucifer placed a demand.
Lucifer: "Satanous, you have been trained for so long yet you don't know what that represents?" he asked
Devil: "Hahaha! My lord, Satanous has failed to see that the lamb given to David by the righteous one is the church."
"Hahahahaha!!!!" All cohorts broke out in laughter.
A group of demons as well as angels of light could be called cohort, different groupings, Cohorts.
"That is right my faithful one." Lucifer said to Devil "We are the Trinity of darkness. I Lucifer stands to distain the creator. Devil, the son of the Creator and you! Satanous, your assignment is onto the the sons of men, to content with the spirit of truth who is on earth to work through them for their liberation.
Go into their midst with the battalion under you and bring weakness to their prayer life. Break their rankings and take away their zeal for the word so that they are disconnected from the source which is the spirit of truth.
After this meeting, you shall return to the synagogue and be taught by elbibs until you are well equipped." Lucifer said and flew, suspending himself above them.
"You have all seen how much is bestowed in the hands of Nam David."
"My lord Lucifer?" Devil cried out "what is the mystery behind the inscription of the name Nam on David's left arm?" he asked.
"Hahaha!!! Cohorts, on the left arm of David is his name which we recognize mostly here in the realm of the immortal. The name is given to him by the righteous one which translated means "Give me!" He is sent to reclaim the kingdom of the righteous one from us which is why we must hunt after him to ensure his assignment do not thrive."
"Haaaaa!!!!" The cohort burned in anger hearing Lucifer address them.
"I have mapped out the seven stones of destruction to be carried out against him. If he fails to any of them, his mandate shall be weakened and will have no strength to overcome us, but if he overcomes the seven stones of destruction, surely, he shall be victorious in his mandate."
"But my lord" Devil came in "It is not possible for him to overcome the seven stones of destruction. We have used only three on most of his brethren and they barely overcame, how much more if seven is deployed against him."
"Hahaha!!! You are right Devil. He can't overcome the seven stones of destruction by his self ability unless he is helped by the spirit of truth, which is why satanous must do everything possible to weaken his attachment to the spirit." Lucifer consoled and all nodded in affirmation.
"Breed discouragement, difficulties, disappointment and dejection among other things to weaken his strength." Lucifer said then paused and looked down the foot of the mountain.
As I watched, a demon moved up swiftly, her name is Limish. She stood before Lucifer dressed in fancy apparels. No man could deny her beauty.
On her bosom was a bold inscription; "Limish - The first stone of destruction"
"Hahahah" The cohort laughed appeasing themselves as she appeared.
"My daughter! The hour has come. we are sending you into the life of the faithful one of the righteous ruler."
He pointed and when he did, I turned to look at myself praying fiercely and fervently in my room.
"Go! seduce him and ruine his sexual purity until he is completely weakened and broken into destruction."
Limish smiled and turned to Lucifer; "my lord Lucifer, your daughter has waited for this assignment and she will carry it out in excellence. I have already found a vessel in his school to take hold of and advance against him.
"Hahahaha!!!" The cohort, now comprising of four members laughed terribly and joined their hands together.
"To the mandate; theft, death and destruction! To Lucifer the ruler of darkness, mission undertaken." They said in unison and disappeared.
"Dup dup dup!" I felt some kicks on my ribs and jerked out of sleep prematurely.
"You this boy! This is 2am and you are still out here in the middle of mosquitoes. Go inside and sleep." This was the voice of my uncle as he stare into my face angrily.
"I quietly folded my Bible and gathered other materials into my room. Immediately I was in, I fell upon my knees, the memory of the vision completely wiped off due to the shock I experienced waking up. I knew I had a vision, I could envision the terrain it occurred and sounds but the basement of it was completely gone from my restoration.
"Ah, daddy, how can I forget this kind of vision?" I cried and prayed, stayed quiet and fought to restore it but it was gone.
As I meditated, I saw an angel stood by me with a hand on my shoulder.
"David! Do not be afraid. The Lord is with you. He has sent me to fight along with you. you are not alone." He said and dissolved in absence.
It would take many years before on this faithful day, the day of inscripting in pens, the vision would be restored back to my memory.
And then, the journey of the BATTLES OF SPIRITS AND MORTALS was fully launched and we would fight on and on until the day of reckoning.
