CHAPTER 3 –
© MOMOH GIFT
You are all welcome to this meeting.
I am really grateful for your cooperation.
God bless you abundantly and we shall never miss our rewards in life.
I am very grateful. The Lord, the great rewarder, will reward us mightily and whatever we ask from Him, He will do for us. Oh! God bless you.
Amen! They all chorused.
Briefly today, we shall be discussing what the youth program which is coming up next week will look like.
I want all of us the executives of this meeting to give our ideas on this issue.
We need the total estimates of what will be needed for the success of the program.
We also need to draft the order of programs for each day and those who will minister in words, songs, and prayers.
We still need to print out the fliers again because the ones we did previously have been exhausted and so many things for us to discuss.
Wow! Just look at how cute he looks.
Oh! This man is greatly endowed. I love his height, complexion, beard, and the way he speaks. I love this guy so much. How I wish he would just be closer to me,, I will not let him go again. What else do I need in a man? Bro Ade is perfect in all areas of life. Let him just be mine.
Lord bless me with this your son.
I just have to get bro Ade no matter what.
I won’t allow any other lady in this church to have him because he belongs to me alone.
Florence you must have him all to yourself and not them.
You will be his wife and no one else.
People shall also respect you greatly.
All those ladies both in church and outside will honor you greatly.
Even if it means me doing anything contrary to my belief to get this guy, I will do it.
The sleepless nights I have been having must not be in vain. I will not lose him at all.
I spoke to myself confidently and continued admiring Bro Ade as he spoke without even minding to listen to whatever he was talking about.
Wow! I’m so amazed by all our contributions so far.
They are all wonderful. I will give the report to the pastor immediately and thereafter, the full preparation will commence.
I know that God will do great and wonderful things in our midst and every youth that will come for the program shall have a great encounter with the Holy Spirit.
God bless you all for your time. We all shall never miss our rewards.
Amen!
Please let’s all rise as we take our closing prayers.
Madam! What are you thinking about? Stand up for prayers now. Mirabel pushed me slightly.
As I jerked back to the present environment and was shocked to notice that the meeting was over.
But how come? Why has it ended so fast? We just started some minutes ago now.
Though I know it would be a very brief meeting I wasn’t expecting it to be this short.
I really don’t want this meeting to end now so I will continue to stare at the husband of my dream. Did I just call him my husband? Yes! He is my husband whether the devil likes it or not. I thought quietly as the prayer ended.
Florence! I can bet that you were not concentrating all through the meeting.
You did not listen to all that bro Ade said from the beginning to the end.
What is wrong with you? Is there any problem? Please talk to me, my friend. Maybe I can be of help to you.
Hmmm! Mirabel! I am madly in love with Bro Ade.
Not just mere love but madly in love with him.
I really can’t do anything reasonable without thinking about him.
I see him in all of my dreams, visions, and Revelations.
I love him so much and want him for myself. How I wish he would just look at me and even ask me out, I will accept him on my knees.
This man is the man of my dreams.
He has everything I want in a man. He is cute, hard-working, humble, and very spiritual. I really want him.
This is serious! Even you Florence? You are among all those ladies running after bro Ade? I can’t believe that you are the one saying all these my dear friend. I have always known you to be a lady of principle.
You are highly disciplined and spiritual too. Why are you allowing the spirit of lust to take over you? What! I shouted.
Don’t get me wrong Florence. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t admire Bro Ade. He is a man with great virtues and everyone really loves him. But you shouldn’t allow your emotions to control you to the extent of lusting after him.
Don’t allow anything to distract you for now.
Just continue to remain busy serving God faithfully and He will help you at the right time.
What are you saying, Mirabel? Do you understand how I feel towards Bro Ade? I guess you don’t know the gravity of the love I have for that guy.
Please forget about spirituality or being disciplined. I am in love with him and that is all that matters. Though it pains me a lot why he doesn’t seem to notice how I do stare at him romantically and all my advances towards him are not regarded as anything.
He is just too over-spiritual for my liking.
You see what I am saying. He does not even notice that a pretty damsel like you is dying in love with him and doing anything to have him because he is serious with His God-given assignment and doing everything he can to make God proud of him.
See my sister! Bro Ade is not the kind of guy that will settle for just anyhow lady.
Not at all. Get busy with God and if he is the man for you, then God will connect both of you.
Don’t be faster than God for His purpose in your life.
Allow God to handle everything for you. Stop being too desperate for someone who is not even focused on your direction.
There are lots you need to get yourself busy with within the house of God.
And also allow the Lord to prune you properly rather than trying to make things work for God.
Hmmm! I really can’t wait for God’s timing because I know that I’m in a great competition with so many ladies concerning this guy and they will not want to wait for God’s timing. So what if he now accepted one of those ladies? What will happen to me? I can’t take such a risk oh.
I will do everything to have Bro Ade to myself. It’s just painful that he never allows any sister to visit his house for any reason. He even went to the extent of announcing in the church that time he came that he could only book an appointment with a sister in the church.
I would have visited him and talked to him about my feelings.
What! You would have talked to him about your feelings and even go to his house?
Sure! I can do anything just to have him for myself.
I just wish he would open his eyes wide and see how he is making me and other ladies in this church restless. But why will he have all those unnecessary principles? Is he scared of ladies or what?
No! But because he doesn’t want to fall into all these temptations. He knows himself and doesn’t want to deceive himself.
He knows that since he is being loved by almost everyone in this church, then he needs to be very careful. Mirabel replied.
Well! That won’t stop me from having my way. Though I don’t know what to do right now I will definitely do something and won’t just sit down and watch another lady have him.
Anyway! If you insist then I can’t force you. I have advised you like a good friend is supposed to advise.
I just hope that you won’t regret your actions later and cause shame and disgrace to yourself. It is well with you.
Amen! Thank you, my dear friend. Please continue to put me and my lovely husband-to-be in your prayers. So that the Lord will settle me and bro Ade this year. I don’t want it to be very long.
Alright, ma! No problem at all. I will do as you have said… Mirabel replied with her usual smile.
I am impressed with these reports bro Ade. I know that with this, the program will be a huge success.
I love how diligent you are.
The Lord will not leave you alone. His presence will always be with you.
I am glad to have you as the youth president because you are truly an example to all the youths both the ones in church and outside.
I pray that God will continue to uphold you and grant you the grace never to disappoint him.
Amen! Thank you so much, sir.
You are welcome, my dear son. Lest I forget! I want you to be very careful in all of your dealings.
Never be too careless and hold on to your Godly principles.
Never compromise those principles for anything. The truth is that the devil is not happy with the way you are very zealous about the things of God and he can do anything just to bring you down.
He is always on the lookout for a way to bring down all those whom God is using mightily.
That is why you see so many young people whom God has been using mightily in the past now as a tool for destruction in the hands of the devil or they died mysteriously.
The fact that God is using you mightily doesn’t mean that you should be very careless of the things you involve yourself because so many people are watching you secretly.
They are following your lifestyle and you are their secret model whom they emulate.
These days so many people are not really interested in reading the Bible because they feel that it is too boring but what they do is to watch the lifestyle of a believer.
To them, all that you do as a believer is the right thing especially when God is using you mightily. Your life is like a mirror to them.
That doesn’t mean that you won’t make flaws or mistakes, you will but the Holy Spirit is always with you to help you always.
Hmmm! I really appreciate sir.
Alright, dear.
You can go now.
I will see you tomorrow. Make sure you take good care of yourself.
Sure I will sir.
I left the pastor’s office quietly and went to a corner of the church.
I just want to be in a quiet place and interact with the Holy Spirit right now.
A lot of things are running through my mind right now.
Precious Holy Spirit! Your son is here again. You are the only one who understands me perfectly.
I know that so many people are looking up to me with lots of expectations and some are looking at my life as their own source of direction and motivation but the truth is that I am not perfect.
I have a lot of weaknesses. I am just reminding you Holy Spirit that you are all I have got in life.
Please don’t allow me to fail you.
There are so many distractions in life that are trying to take my gaze away from you.
Please don’t let me turn away from you Father.
Then I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder and I quickly rounded off my prayers and raised my head to see who just touched me.
Good evening bro Ade! I have been looking everywhere for you since we finished the meeting but I couldn’t find you. I’m glad I have found you at last.
Oh! Good evening sister Jennifer. I’m really sorry about that. I have been in the pastor’s office since the meeting ended. I just left his office a few minutes ago.
Alright! Indeed you are a very hard-working man. I love how highly anointed you are and how serious you are with the things of God. God bless you abundantly sir.
Amen! Thanks a lot, ma. I really appreciate it.
Actually bro Ade! I have an issue which I would like to discuss with you. It has been bothering me for so long and I really don’t know what to do about it. But it just dropped on my mind this morning to share with you. I think it’s getting late already and you would like to be going home now. Since my apartment is on the same street, we can go home together while I discuss the issue in your place.
Oh! There is nothing to worry about at all sister Jennifer. I will…
