Tercilla and her husband divorced because Sheik Ibrahim is a Muslim and Tercilla is a Christian.
“My family didn’t know peace. My husband, Sheik Ibrahim was one of the re- known witch consultants in Bubalia,” says Sister Tercilla (Jane’s mother).
Since these teachings started, I learnt many things in the booklets. One thing is the story of people during Noah’s time. Noah built the ark, and his neighbors didn’t enter because of disobedience.
When my husband left me, due to my faith in Christ, my children choose to be with their father and I was left with one–Jane Achieng. In a period of two years, my daughter started behaviors I couldn’t understand and then ran mad, ending up in the street.
Life became so challenging. My daughter was so violent and could not want anyone to approach near her. Her food she picked [out of the garbage dump]. As a loving mother, I kept on watching after her at a distance.
One Monday morning, I woke up, and Jane was no longer in her normal place. She came after five months with a pregnancy from unknown man.
I became so scared of her and the baby. I spoke to my neighbors who helped me tie her with ropes and bring her home. I was told to try out the [witch doctor] but I refused. This brought more rejection and mockery.
After giving birth, my daughter left home–never to be seen again, I was a mother and a grandmother. I would feed my grandchild with porridge and milk. Thankfully, she is now 3 years old.
While I was listening to the teachings, I learnt that all these is because of the devil who doesn’t wish us anything good.
I shared with Felix and Joseph my problem and we prayed to God together.
It was on Thursday afternoon, while we were having open air crusade after sharing the chronological teaching in the church that from nowhere, the Lord brought my mad daughter to the crusade.
People prayed for her, and she gained normality. Thanks to God, I shared this with Felix and Joseph to go home, to take us home, and to pray with us.
The devil has lost the battle. Jesus has victory over my house, they assured me.
At night while I was asleep I heard a knock and was so hesitant to open, but I opened anyway. I could not believe the sight of my husband kneeling down asking me to forgive him. He said he has changed–that he dreamed about two young men going to pray with us in our family on 7th of January and the dream said he should come on Thursday, but due to fear, he came at night.
“I am no longer Sheik Ibrahim,” he says. “I want a new name.”
Through teaching, Ibrahim accepted the Lord Jesus Christ. He promised to bring the two children home.
What a reunion the Lord Jesus Christ brought through chronological teachings.
Thanks for continuous support and prayer.
