    About this ebook

    Bongani allowed his grief to overcloud his reasoning, he believed that he has achieved all what he has achieved because his father was always there for him and after his father’s death he became fearful and doubtful. He became to say my Bow is gone which mean he is an arrow and his dad was a bow that helped him to shout. Therefore God send him a messenger to remind him that he God is still there for him and he also reminded him that it was Him who give us power to succeed in life.
    But in this book we see that God really meant it when he said nothing can really separate us from him.
    God gave Bongani a vision about Terry’s twins however he dismissed it as just a dream because he had the revelation while he was drunk and weakened by the demon of alcoholism. Terry as well because of her arrogance and greed, she was manipulated by the demon of false prosperity as a result she became a surrogate mother for the devil. And also through her wealth many dreams were shattered and destinies were diverted or delayed.
    In this book we also learn how people expose themselves these false prophets who go about deceiving people with false prosperity and how dangerous it is to trust on man for success instead of trusting God , people believes more on the power of network connections than on the word of God Deuteronomy 8:18 which says it is God who give us power to get wealth.
    Most people on Terry’s network lost their blessing to her as the demon were switching their luck with hers all in the name of power of connections because people forgot that to succeed in life is not based on whom you hang out with, or whom you know and connected with or whom do you play golf with but it is God who direct our step in Psalm 37:23 and in Ecclesiastes 9:11, which says chance happen to all of us.
    At the end God restored both Bongani and also used him to restore Terry and Steven marriage and God gave them triplets for the twins that went to heaven early.

      Bongani Overwhelmed by Grieve

      As Bongani is the only son of his father, he did everything with his Dad since he was a teenager.

      Even when he got married to Palesa he asked his father to be his best man, but his dad turned him down and said son is time for me to let you go so that you can become your own man.

      But when Bongani 1st child was born his dad was there for him, they had a strong bond and yes had a strong bond.

      Bongani’s dad passed on a year ago, he had a kidney failure and he didn’t survive the attack and Bongani is unable to come to terms with his Dad's death, he felt so sad like an arrow without a bow.

      Out of despair Bongani started drinking hoping that he will stop thinking about his loss and also he won’t feel sad, unfortunately his mind can only be temporarily out of duty only when he was drunk, but as soon as he become sober his mind start again to rehearse his loss back and forth, back and forth.

      Eventually sadness begins to overwhelm him and he ran to the bottle of alcohol again and before long he was drunk again.

      The only problem with alcohol therapy is that it is illegal to drink at work and while driving therefore his drinking habit begin to create problems for him at work and adding more pressure on him.

      Bongani begins to have problems at home as his wife and kids felt neglected and at work he became very forgetful about a lot of important things and that made his superiors and colleague very angry with him as he was affecting their jobs and causing a lot of customer complaints and a loss of revenue for the company.

      His mother as well felt abandoned by him as he couldn’t support her and help out with things that needed a man's attention in the family.
