I got into a blood covenant with a lady by name Sarah who I was in a relationship with. We sealed this covenant with a padlock and threw it into the sea about 12 years ago deep in the night. She was my first girlfriend and we even have a child together.

Along the line when things began going on well for me, I messed everything up. I could not fulfill any of the promises I made to her during our hard times. So I ended up breaking her heart by marrying another woman.

Life became very difficult for me after marrying the new woman. Finally, I met a man of God and he told me my girlfriend cursed me because I didn’t fulfill any of the promis­es I made to her.

I am now seeing the traits of the curse controlling my life for the past eight years. My life has been miserable from drinking, bedwetting and now being homeless. I have lost all my investments and everything in my life.

I embarked on finding my first love but a friend told me that my baby mama got mar­ried to another man and they both left the country long time ago.

How do I seek forgiveness from my son’s mother?

Dear Samuel,

It is pleasing to note that you are truthful in your presen­tation.

Making a blood covenant is a serious issue which links you with the devil and it will auto­matically torment you.

Since the effects of the covenant and the curse are still hanging on your neck, you need a strong man of God to exor­cise these powers of darkness to set you free.

You must look for the relatives of your girlfriend to locate her so that you can seek her forgiveness.

The word of God cautions Christians that, “ When you make a vow to God, do not delay in paying it.” It went fur­ther to say that God does not take pleasure in fools.

This can be compared with the promise you made to this lady but failed in fulfilling it, thereby, making her angry.
