In year 1965 in Central North of Nigeria a child was born into a polygamous family. She is the first child of her parents, her mom was the second wife to a known man called Adomuha. This child called Maraya was raised in an islamic home, she was dedicated to the gods of the land. People claimed that Adomuha father has come back in form of a woman who was a very great and wealthy man in the land of the living. The glory of Maraya was said to be glorious and wealthy.


After Maraya's dedication, she bagan to grow in beauty with a pure heart. Maraya's step mom Onume was so envious of her life because Maraya stood out as a very great child in the family. A series of unfortunate events began in the life of this small child. After the death of her mother, Maraya started looking out for her younger siblings at a tender age. Onume was so wicked to Maraya and treated her as a slave and a trash in her father's house. Maraya father was a gentle and quiet man he had no say in his home anymore. Onume vowed that Maraya will not finish high school and she will suffer in life and if possible she will make sure she dies.


Psalm 94:16 says "Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will stand by my side against trouble makers?"


At a point in Maraya's life, she could not stay under the sun because her skin will burn as though she's a vampire, she had stomach ache as though vultures were feeding on her which resulted to stomach ulcer. Maraya started experiencing partial amnesia that almost caused her problems in her home. In the midst of her struggles as a teenager, Maraya was a victim of circumstance. A young man sets his eyes on Maraya and found out she was pure, he then used a charm to lure her to bed and dis-flowered her. One day Maraya found out she was pregnant and wondered how it happened, truth be told she has never laid with any man. Series of investigation was carried out and it was said that Maraya was raped. Maraya's father cursed the young man that defiled his daughter. Maraya gave birth to a boy in her young adult hood and this became a scar in her life.


The devil tried all possible means to end her life so she would not fulfill her purpose in the land of the living, but God's hand was upon her.

A few years later, Maraya relocated and got a decent job in the Northern part of Nigeria. Maraya began to experience strange things in her life, she started having different dreams and revelation about Heaven and Hell, she did not understand these things and was totally confused with the whole scenario.

A man who was said to be a man of God was praying in his home and God showed him a picture of a woman who was walking on a dangerous ground and gave him an instruction to carry out. God said to him "go and meet this woman and tell her she is working on dangerous ground as you go do not talk to anyone on your way neither should you make a stop until you reach your destination".

One faithful day at her place of work, a certain man came in search of her, and she identified herself and the man said to her "my brother sent me to you". Maraya was confused because she has never met this man. Then Maraya asked "who is your brother?" the man replied "my brother JESUS CHRIST sent me to you that you are standing on a dangerous ground". Maraya looked perplex to the message given to her and said to herself, "Jesus knows who i am? does this mean he knows everybody on earth?".


Isaiah 53:5 says "And by his stripes we are all healed".


Maraya took a turn and gave her life to Christ and dedicated her life to Christ. The calamities in Maraya's life began to fade away, the stomach ulcer, the burning sensation under the sun and the partial amnesia were all gone. Jesus healed her from all sickness and diseases and she lived her life like a normal human being should.
