Spellbound Chronicles

You know those strange dreams that leave you feeling uneasy the whole day? That’s what happened to Janet, a 30-year-old woman from Nakuru. For months, she kept dreaming about snakes. Not just any snakes, but huge ones that would chase her, coil around her, and make her feel trapped. At first, she thought it was …

If you’ve ever started something new, like a job or a business, only to see everything go wrong soon after, you know how it feels to be caught in a cycle of misfortune. The excitement of a new opportunity quickly fades as you realize things aren’t going as planned. This was exactly the story of …

Growing up, I was the guy people called "sharp." Teachers liked me. I aced my KCSE, did well in college, and my parents even had this little photo of me holding my degree on the wall. I had big dreams, man. I saw myself running a big company or starting a chain of businesses. But …

I’m 34 years old, and for the longest time, I felt like love was something meant for others, not me. Every relationship I entered seemed promising at first, but just when things were getting serious, the man would pull away. It was as if there was an invisible barrier preventing me from finding lasting happiness. …

I remember the first time Brian said, "Mama." He was just over a year old, and it was like music to my ears. But what I did not know then is that a time would come when I would do anything just to hear that word again. Brian was a happy, active boy. He used …

I had always believed in hard work and determination. For years, I dreamed of serving the people of Kiambu as their elected leader. I gave it my all—sold every piece of property I owned just to finance my campaigns. I believed my vision was right, and I thought the people would see it too. But …

I still remember that night like it was yesterday. It was around 3 AM when I received a call that jolted me out of bed. My store in Eastleigh, Nairobi, had been broken into. In a panic, I rushed there, only to find the door wide open and the shelves stripped bare. Clothes worth about …

In our home in Narok, cows are not just animals. They are pride. They are life. So when one morning we woke up and found six of our best cows missing from the kraal, it felt like someone had stabbed us in the heart. I still remember that morning. My father was shouting. My mother …

When I tell you I almost gave up on love, believe me. I am 33 years old today. I have been engaged three times. Each time, when the wedding plans started getting serious, something bad would happen. The first man just disappeared without a word. We had set a wedding date, booked a venue, even …

Growing up in a small village near Busia, we often heard stories about night runners. Some people said it was just superstition. Others said it was real but only affected certain families. Honestly, I never thought it would happen to someone so close to me. But last year, it happened to my uncle. Uncle Joseph …

Losing someone you love is never easy. Last year, when my elder brother passed away, our family in Kakamega was left in deep sadness. We gave him a beautiful send-off. Friends and relatives came from far and wide. We thought after the burial, life would slowly get back to normal. But that was not the …

For as long as I can remember, my family was always fighting. It did not matter if it was a wedding, a funeral, a birthday, or just a normal Sunday gathering. There would always be arguments, people shouting, cousins refusing to talk to each other, and even at times, grown adults exchanging blows in front …

I never thought I would ever reach a point in life where even my own wife would roll her eyes when I spoke. I am Pastor James Njiru, and I have been a man of God for many years. I have led a church along Thika Road and helped many people find their way back …

If someone told me last year that my life would change just by using Anointing Oil, I would have laughed at them. I was that person who believed in hard work only. I thought if I worked extra hours, said the right things, and met the right people, success would come. But life taught me …
