Years ago Maraya had a premonition about her daughter Rejoice. Maraya saw herself in a family gathering, they were all celebrating and congratulating Rejoice cousin Mercy. Maraya was wondering what the celebration was all about, she then turned and saw Rejoice siting at the corner of the room with sadness in her eyes and her palm placed on her cheek as she watched how they gathered round Mercy praising her. Maraya woke up immediately and prayed and the Holy Spirit ministered to her and interpreted the message of the revelation she had. Rejoice glory was stolen in the spirit realm and gave it to her cousin. Rejoice is the one who is to be celebrated and not be put aside and be treated like she's a nobody.


In year 2017, Rejoice went for her Youth Service (NYSC) in the western part of Nigeria. Things were not easy for her but she was contented with what she had. One day Rejoice returned from work, had her bath, ate and went to bed. As she was asleep two demons in the disguise of young ladies who appeared to be skinny and black showed themselves physically in her room. They walked towards her bed and tried to lay with her sexually, Rejoice was so weak that she couldn't move her body but she tried so hard to struggle so they won't touch her. The second lady stretched her hand to touch Rejoice head, but Rejoice was unable to move as she tried to avoid contacts, but they succeeded in touching her head and rubbed it. Rejoice was praying within her asking God for strength to push them away. Immediately she received strength from God and stood up from the bed with force and they disappeared.

As Rejoice saw this, great fear gripped her and immediately she remembered her mom's revelation about her glory. The devil saw that Rejoice glory was so bright and now he wants to take everything from her.


Job 19:9 says, "He has stripped my honor from me, and removed the crown from my head."


After her service year, Rejoice went back to her home town. Rejoice applied for various jobs but nothing positive came forth. One faithful day, a family friend was led by the Spirit of God to visit Hazon's family and pray for them. Hazon was not around because he doesn't believe that he has foundational problem and dark entities neither does he believe that few of his siblings especially Samuel sold his soul to the devil to torment this family. So most of the time Maraya makes sure he is not around for the prayers because he will rebuke whoever God is using and will not be in agreement of the prayers. During the cause of the prayer, it was revealed through his servant that indeed Rejoice glory was taken away from her, all he credentials became useless. As they kept on praying a woman in the spirit realm was trying to run away with Rejoice documents but because of the power of God at that moment she returned the original document back to where she took it from.


The devil made sure that any man that comes her way with the intentions to marry her they end up disappointing her. She faced a lot of disappointments and heartbreaks. Anything she lays her hands on don't seem to work. Rejoice was getting frustrated, devastated and was going into depression because she was not moving forward in life.

Times without numbers, the devil always show Rejoice the level of her life achievements and compares it with her childhood friend in her dreams. The devil mocks Rejoice saying "look at where you are and look at where your friend is in life now. She is high on top and you are down below. Ha ha hah ha"


Rejoice was not spiritually strong to rebuke the devil. Whenever she has these dreams her life continues to remain stagnant.

Hazon's sister Hauwa vowed saying, "over my dead body will I see Rejoice get married, she will continue to remain single and stay in her father's house."
