I met Abraham in 2020 when I went to a prayer meeting. I had always heard about him but never met him until that day. Every other lady seemed to be crushing on him and wishing to have him. Honestly, I didn’t feel that way at first, probably because I didn’t know him personally. The ladies nicknamed him TTH (Thick, Tall, Handsome) Prophet, but that didn’t move me.

Before I met him, I had been heartbroken for three years, which made me play with the emotions of men who approached me. I was nowhere near ready for a relationship when he came to my church for a prayer service in September 2020.

That day, we were about 12–15 people present. He prophesied to everyone except me. When we closed, my brother urged me to approach him for a prophetic word. I did, and to my surprise, he spoke about my heartbreak. “I prophecy into your life, that God will bring someone better into your life, and this person will marry you,” he declared. He then took my number and texted me when I got home.

His text made me remember the way I felt in his presence. I couldn’t look at him directly. I felt goosebumps all over me, the entire time he spoke to me. It was love.

I had just met him yet when he asked to know more about me, I told him everything without hiding even my flaws. I trusted that as a man of God, he wouldn’t judge me. Rather, he would help me overcome my struggles.

Two weeks into knowing each other and talking often, he asked me to date him. Before that, he told me he had always prayed about me. On the day he proposed, he said it was God who told him to marry me. I prayed about it for a month and received my own confirmation before I said yes.

At first, everything was rosy. Three months into the relationship, he came to ask my elder brother for my hand in marriage. I wasn’t ready. I asked them to wait so I could further my education first.

The beautiful relationship everyone admired changed after I moved in with him. I saw many messages from women and noticed how happy he was talking to them, even though our relationship was public. He would post me on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, yet he kept other women on the side.

Because he knew what he was doing in the shadows, he didn’t want me close to any man. He wanted me to frown and speak harshly to men, and he even became jealous of my own brother’s calls.

Along the line, my ex came back bearing apologies. He asked for another chance, which I refused. Unfortunately, one day my ex called me while Abraham was out with my phone. It resulted in a heated argument between the two men. After that, I blocked my ex. But from then on, AB became cold towards me.

This relationship was barely five months old when the silent treatment began. You won’t believe me but it went on and off for four years. He never supported me financially, but I continued to live with him. I performed all the duties of a wife. People even assumed we were legally married.

I caught him cheating more than five times but I didn’t leave. This emboldened him. He would call other women right in front of me and plan dates with them. If I confronted him, he would insult or even beat me, depending on the level of his anger. One time he blatantly told me, “I like women with big buttocks. You know you don’t have some. You look like a skeleton.”

The longer I stayed, the worse he got. Someone who claimed he had no money to provide for my needs would send other women money to buy food or shop. There were times I fell sick from hunger.

One day I decided I was putting up with too much disrespect, all in the name of keeping a man. So I packed my stuff and moved back home.

Despite the distance between us, my heart was still tied to him.

How The Death Of Our Son Nearly Brought Our Marriage To An End

Shortly after I moved out, he asked for a breakup. He said I don’t give him peace and that I cry too much. Then he told both our families that he left me because he caught me sleeping with my ex. He also said I constantly accuse him of cheating, and that his ministry was at risk because of my behaviour.

No one asked me to defend myself. They believed him because he is a man of God. Today, he is dating a woman I once confronted him about when we were dating. Also, his ministry is gradually collapsing. Despite everything he has done to me, I still care about him. I am worried about what’s happening to his ministry.
