5 When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly. 6 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets. 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.” 8 So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, “Please divine by the familiar spirit, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you.” (1Samuel 28:5-8)
Saul was desperate. He had some challenges but because he had become desperate, he could no longer think clearly. He was ready to do anything and he sought wrong means. Disguising himself, he lowered his position as a king and bowed before a witch. He started well in life, was chosen as king and anointed by Samuel but ended with a witch.
And in my novel – In Love For Us, because Rhoda was desperate and wanted to keep the father of her unborn baby by all means, she went to Tolu’s office to fight. Giving Tolu an icy stare, she said, “Get out of my man’s life! And stay out! … Husband snatcher! … By the time I finish with you, you won’t know what hit you!”
What Rhoda did was very wrong as Ben pointed out to her later. “There is a better way to handle the matter. If a man doesn’t love you, marriage won’t make him change his mind. In fact, marriage will worsen the case because he will feel tied down. He might become aggressive and resentful, and engage in extramarital affairs.”
To be continued. God bless you.
