CROSSROAD – CHAPTER EIGHT

CHAPTER 8 –
© MOMOH GIFT

Father! Please do not leave me all alone. My strength cannot save me. My wisdom cannot save me oh God. Arise and fight my battles for me Jesus. Deliver me from the hands of my enemies and prove to them that you are indeed my Father. Let them see how great you are likewise run and surrender unto you for help. Let your mercy speak for me Lord. Though sometimes, I feel discouraged and afraid but I will keep trusting you because you will never fail me. Help me to keep holding firm and to continually fix my gaze on you. May I not disappoint you Lord. I have come too far to fail you Lord. I am aware of how the devil is trying so hard to bring me down but I am more aware that my father in heaven is carrying me with His mighty hands. Therefore, I am not afraid of whatever they may plan against me. Help me to continually trust in you. Ade is nothing without you. I am weak and weary and without you, I am finished. Therefore I come to you and submit all my burdens, fears, worries and doubts to you. Give me your strength oh God. That I may not be consumed by the evil plans of the enemies.

I laid down on the floor in my room praying and weeping. And then I heard His voice clearly.

No man shall be able to stand against you. I will put the dread of you and the fear of you upon all the land where you tread. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid and do not tremble or be terrified because of them. For I, the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies and to save you. So fear not my son. For I am with you always. Though, they might try all their best to get you or to hurt you but I will stand by you always because you are my beloved. I have loved you with my everlasting love. Even if a mother will forget her own child, I will not forget you my son. I will shield you from all evil and give you total victory. Whoever that wants to deal with you will have to contend with me first. Just watch and see my goodness upon your life.

Though sometimes, it looks as if you are about to be consumed but I want you to be assured always that I am with you even in the wilderness of life. I am a Father that will never forsake His children. The challenges of life will come but will never overwhelm you because I am with you. I am not sleeping neither am I too far away from you. I am here with you always. For my presence will never depart from you. My children all over the world shall not be consumed as well. Rather, I will give them total victory against every challenge they may face. I love all my children and I do not joke with any of them. I shall bless you and prosper you my son. Just make sure you continue to be steadfast in all you do and never allow yourself to be deceived by the enemies.

Continue to encourage all my children that I have handed to you. Tell them to hold firm to me and never give up. Tell them that I am with them always and will never forsake them. I will be their God and will wipe away all their tears. I will continue to strengthen them and grant them the grace they need to overcome.

Also my son, make sure you never abhor unforgiveness in your heart. No matter what anyone does to you, make sure you forgive them and release them from your heart. And I will continue to bless you and make your way prosperous. It is well with you my child.

Oh! Thank you Father. Thank you for always standing by me. I am grateful for all you have done for me and for all you are doing right now. Thank you for your supernatural strength Lord. All glory be to your name.

Wow! Today is the day that the Lord has made for me and I shall rejoice and be glad in it. Oh! The Lord has made a way for me. I am highly blessed and favored among others. Soonest, I will become a young millionaire. People shall bow before me and honor me. I am grateful today. Very soon, I will go to church and share my testimony. In fact! I will pay my tithes and support the building project. I will share some money to all the elders.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Bro Ayo good morning.

Ah! Ah! Who is knocking on my door this early morning? Why is it that some people cannot just stay in their house and enjoy their life? Imagine coming to somebody’s house this early morning. Anyway! Let me check who he is. Who knows if he is my helper.

Oh! Bro Mike! Good morning to you. I never knew you were the one knocking. Please come inside. I hope everything is fine oh? This one you just marched to my house this early morning after so many weeks. I hope you brought goodies for me oh.

I’m really sorry for not checking on you all these while bro Ayo. It’s just that I have been very busy these days. I am supposed to be going to work now but I just have to share the revelation I had with you because it was very scary.

Hmmmm! Which revelation is this man talking about again? I hope he has not come to start saying rubbish to me or to spoil my joy this early morning? All these devil’s incarnates that are trying to take away my joy will never succeed. Their plans will fail.

Bro Ayo! I hope all is well? You are not answering me. I just said something to you and instead of telling me to either go ahead or keep quiet, you are just staring at me.

Forgive my manners bro Mike. I was just carried away by something. Please have your seat and share your revelation with me but please be fast about it because I have an urgent appointment to meet this morning which I must not be late.

Alright bro Ayo. I will be very fast because I also need to be in the office on time as well. I had this vision very early this morning. I saw you jumping with excitement towards an elderly woman who was holding a beautiful package in her hands but her face wasn’t that of a normal human rather she has the face of a monster and was smiling wickedly at you. She was calling your name and asking you to come and receive the package in her hands. You responded to her without minding to look at her face. You were just carried away by what she wants to offer you and did not listen to us who were at the other side calling your name.

You went to her and immediately you collected the package from her, she laughed loudly and opened her mouth. I saw long set of teeth in her mouth and blood all over her mouth and neck as well. She held you and bit your neck with her long set of teeth and you shouted with a very loud voice and fell to the ground weeping with great pains. She began to chew your flesh and left you there in great pains. Then I woke up. It was very scary bro Ayo and I had to come and share it with you very early this morning. I believe that the Lord is trying to warn you against something dangerous and He don’t want you to be consumed because He still loves you.

Hmmm! Is that all bro Mike?

Bro Ayo! You look very weak and skinny in that revelation. Which may imply that your spiritual life is very weak. How are you coping spiritually? How is your relationship with God? Is your fire still burning for God?

Well! I really dont have all the answers to your questions bro Mike. All I know is that I am a believer and a lover of God. Though I am not like others who go about behaving as if they are the one that killed Jesus. I am more wise and very sensible than all of them. The fact that I am a born-again Christian does not make me a fool. I go to church and I pay my offerings and tithes. In fact! I am a director of a particular unit in my church so the fact that I haven’t been coming to your fellowship regularly these days should not make you think that I am not on fire for God.

Oh no! Please don’t misunderstand me bro Ayo. I am not condemning you neither am I embarrassing you. I am just trying to share with you what I saw in the revelation so that you can be more careful and prayerful as well. Please don’t allow yourself to fall into the trap of the devil. Not all that glitters are gold. The package in that revelation was very beautiful and shinning. You were carried away with the beauty not minding to look at the face of the person offering you the package.

Thank you very much bro Mike. I have heard all you have to say. It was a very good revelation and I’m glad you sacrificed your time in order to share it with me. Thanks a lot. I really need to be on my way now.

You have a call bro mike. I think your phone is vibrating.

Oh! That is my boss in the office. Hello! Good morning sir.

Good morning Mr. Ayo! Where are you? I hope you are on your way to the address I gave to you because madam Carthy just called now saying that she just arrived there and waiting for you. Please don’t make her wait for too long because that would be a bad impression. I hope you understand?

Yes sir! I shall be there very soon. I will not disappoint you sir. I promise to make you proud. I will call you once I’m through sir.

Good! I wish you the very best my dear. Go and prosper. Possess everything possible.

I will sir.

Goodbye Mr. Ayo.

I’m really sorry Mr. Mike. Please I need to go now because my client is waiting for me already. Thank you for your advice sir. God bless you.

Amen! May the Lord help you and deliver you from all evil.

Thank you. Have a nice day.

Imagine! This foolish man has come with his evil revelation to come and discourage me forgetting that I am very wise and know people like them. They will never come and share a good revelation with someone rather they will be going about sharing evil Revelations and prophecies. Maybe he just changed the revelation himself because he has seen that I was about to receive a beautiful package and so decided to come and say useless story so that I will be discouraged. Enemies of my progress. God punish him for me. Nonsense. Oh! Let me quickly rush to meet up with my appointment.

Ah! Ah! What sort of bad luck is this today? Why will I be seeing Ade now when I’m about to go and receive divine favor? Ade that is always spoiling things for people with his bad luck.

Good morning Ayo. How was your night? You are going to the office very early today oh. I haven’t even taken my bath yet. We are supposed to resume in the office today by 9am due to the meeting that will take place between the junior staff or have you forgotten?

I have not forgotten Ade and who says I am going to the office? I am going to receive that which you have rejected because of your lack of sense and wisdom. I want to go and get that which originally belongs to you since you have decided to throw it away. And I promise that I will go and collect it and show you to your face.

What! Don’t tell me you are accepting the offer of that lady all because of the money she is willing to give to you. Why will you exchange your glorious destiny with the fake things that the devil is trying to offer you? Remember not all that glitters are gold.

Enough! Ade! I’ve had enough for today. You can save the rest for your unborn children. I don’t even have the time stand here and exchange words with you. I have better things to do with my time right now. Please just try and mind your business sir. Allow me to do anything I want with my life because it belongs to me and not you.

The fact that we are friends does not mean that you have the right to control my life. Just mind your business and let me concentrate on mine as well. Is that clear? You can continue to hold unto your useless principles and die as a wretched man while I will continue to shine and prosper.

Hmmm! It is well. I hope it is not too late before you realize your mistake. May God’s mercy speak for you my friend.
I dont need your stupid prayers Ade. Excuse me.

Oh! Father! Please help my friend. If not for anything but for the fact that he served you faithfully throughout his undergraduate days. Remember how he was committed to you and won a lot of souls for your kingdom. Please help him Father.

Now! I understand why so many students who were on fire for God on campus has become something else in the real world because of all these temptations. I pray that your mercy will speak for him and bring him back home.
