Rest 2

“I used to lose my mind that I don’t even remember my own name again at some point.
This happens at least twice a year.
It’s from my father’s side, a generational curse and disease.
It was what killed my dad.
I have an uncle to date who is still having mental issues.
My grandma and the rest don’t even talk about him again.
He has been with a prophet watching over him ever since I was born, so, I never met him.

I started experiencing this after I finished secondary school.
I never took it seriously because it happens like twice a year, first after secondary school education.
Getting to the university, started occurring severally, like once every 3 months.
I never told anyone about it until the day my mom found out herself.
I just came back from school and I blanked out,
Like memory wiped off, I didn’t even remember my name or where I was.
My mom saw me sitting in the living room,
And as expected, I should even greet her,
But I didn’t even utter a word to her, as I didn’t even know who she was.
She was surprised, as that was unlike me.
After about 2 hours or so, I got up and went to interrogate her to know who she was and what my name was.
She laughed and looked at me again with seriousness and said something,
Then she called me by name, which I didn’t respond to as I didn’t know it was my name.
It was when she mentioned she was my mom and she mentioned my name that I started remembering things little by little.
Anytime it happens, it takes close to a week to get back up to full speed.
It once happened to me on an exam day in my 400 level if I can remember,
how I passed that course is still a mystery, but I guess my CA helped big time.

It was just yesterday, that the holy spirit brought some things to my remembrance as to the severity of the issue in my family,
cos that was how my dad also died.
Just yesterday, he brought this to my remembrance,
Things that happened during my dad’s death and all the words I heard then, as I was only 9 or 10 years old.
And it happens to only the men, my dad, my uncle and I were supposed to be the next, as I’m the oldest male in my family lineup.
I knew what it felt like to be a mad person roaming the streets in those periods.

Since you started teaching me Christ, it has stopped.
The last time it happened was over 2 years ago, and I can still remember everything like it was yesterday how the holy spirit kept dropping prayer points and confessions to say in mind.
The effect of the memory loss didn’t take hold on me unlike before, when it usually takes days and weeks before I start remembering.
I remember when I shared this testimony then, and you said please do not stop your fellowship with the Holy Spirit.’’

Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”’
