The Dark Times are finally Here… When the Golden Calabash goes mysteriously missing, the world as all know it is on the verge of utter destruction. Within Iloba, a conspiracy to return the Dark Lord to power slowly unravels. It is up to a priestess of the Elysian, a crown prince, a royal guard and a widow – a most unlikely band of heroes – to find the Calabash and stop the world from being plunged into chaos. Omifunke would never have imagined that she, an ordinary priestess, might ever journey into the dreaded Dark Lands or battle demons, but this quest proves to her just how much she knows about her life.

This new start will not be like any other you have ever experienced because you are going to restart your life with God, this time around.

When you wait on God, you give Him permission to take total control in every area of your life. This is your time of change! God does not want you to run to another partner for comfort. He wants you to run into His arms. There is a process of spiritual, emotional, mental and physical healing that God wants to take YOU through. As He does this, He will not only prepare you for the blessing of marriage in His perfect timing but most importantly, He will prepare you to walk in the divine purpose for which you were created.
