CROSSROAD – CHAPTER TWELVE

CHAPTER 12 –
© MOMOH GIFT

I am the son of the Most High God, the lion of the tribe of Judea, the ancient of days, the king of Kings, and the Lord of Lords. I am God’s favorite.

I belong to the one who owns the heaven and the earth. The creator of the whole universe. I belong to the great SHEPHERD.

What! Did you just mention the great SHEPHERD? So you sent the great SHEPHERD to destroy my life right? Why will you send your father to attack me in my dreams? You are not supposed to be alive Ade but this old man won’t just allow me to deal with you.

He never allowed me to even start with my plans before He arose to defend you.

He had warned me to stop my evil plans against you.

I have realized that He is more powerful than I am and would deal with me if I try to go ahead with my plans.

That is why I have called you here very early this morning to discuss this with you.

I confess that your powers are greater than mine. No doubt about that.

Please give me this power of yours.

I want to be as powerful as you are.

I need to have this great power.

I can give you any amount you request because I now know and can see that my powers are nothing compared to yours.

I know you have claimed to be a true believer but I also know that you have a deep secret power that you depend on to help you attack anyone who tries to plan evil against you.

Please just show me these powers of yours as well.

Sir! I have no other power except the power of the Most High God.

He has been my defender and shield all these years. He is the source of my powers. I have no other powers except the one given to me by Jesus.

But that’s not true. I had also served this Jesus for so many years yet I had never experienced such a mighty power from Him before.

He is just too slow to save and He shows mercy to my enemies whenever they repent of their sins.

I really need a god with a great power that will crush anyone that I so much desire to be crushed.

Your friend has told me how this power of yours has destroyed so many people who had planned evil against you.

He told me how they come to you to confess and receive their deliverance by pleading to you to pray for them.

I never believed what he said until I tried. I hadn’t even begun my process before your source of power arose to challenge me.

Ade! I understand that you are a true born-again Christian and so also aware that you do so many activities in church but I really want you to show me the giver of all of your powers.

You can trust me with the secret.

I won’t leak it out. I won’t even be surprised when you tell me the truth because I know that every man of God out there who claims to have great power from God is not genuine at all.

Most of them do come to receive powers from the herbalist we transact with. Some do bury different sacrifices on their altar. So you see, yours will not be surprising to me.

Sincerely, I agree that I was wrong for taking your powers for granted just because I thought you were far younger than me and look very quiet but right now, I am ready to bow to you just to get the same powers. I need these powers to do a lot of things in life.

Mr. Ade! You really don’t know the essence of what you have oh. If I had half of the powers you have right now, I would have gone very far in life. Last night in my dream, I saw a wall of fire all around you with an inscription saying “Touch not”. Then I concluded while coming to the office in my car that I just needed to discuss with you and plead for the same power. I am ready to give anything you wish no matter how dear it is to me.

You don’t need to give anything to get this power, sir. All that needs to be given has been paid on the cross of Calvary.

The blood of Jesus has paid it all and as children of the Most High, we have been given the power to dominate and to subdue the earth.

There is no other power that is greater than him. He is the owner of the greatest power here on earth. You need to know the giver of this power before you can get the power.

Not again Mr. Ade! Stop playing around with me.

I understand that you don’t trust me enough to share your little secret with me but I promise to repay you greatly.

Just give me this power of yours.

Stop using Christianity or the cross to cover up.

You can only talk of all those ones when teaching the theoretical aspect on the pulpit to those who do go to church every Sunday.

I am tired of listening to all those messages every Sunday from preachers who can’t even demonstrate such powers to us.

After listening to those sermons, we still go back to our various homes and the same demons continue to oppress us.

I really don’t believe that there is power in the God of Christianity. I had been there before. I know how it works.

Mr. Ade! That belief or religion is just too slow for my liking. God doesn’t even answer the prayers of His people when they call all because He feels it’s not the right time for such prayers to be answered.

He only blesses just a few people and leaves the rest.

We do see the same people coming out to testify every Sunday while the rest are just spectators.

So please stop hiding it from me.

Just tell me the source of your power and I will give you whatever you ask from me.

You mean even your life and that of your children and wife? Is that what you are saying, sir?

Well! I really can’t submit my life because that would make it impossible for me to enjoy the power. I can give you my wife or even my only son because they can easily be replaced. Though it would be very difficult I don’t care at all. I am ready to offer anything apart from my own life to get this power. Just name it Mr. Ade.

Sir! I have nothing to give you except Jesus Christ.

He is the only secret of all the powers you have seen working in my life. You just have to stop looking about and run back to Him. He has everything you desire. All you need is to surrender yourself totally to Him.

Hmmm! Mr. Ade! I can see that you are not ready to give me what I want rather you are making me look more stupid for begging to
receive powers from you.

I know people like you will not easily bend to receive my offer. So I know how to handle you. I will see you later.
Please excuse me for now.

Sir! But…

I say leave my office, Mr. Ade! I will call you when I need you again.

Alright, sir.

                    *.                *.              *

Oh, Father! But you said you would do something extraordinary for him. He is rather worse right now or have I said what I shouldn’t have said? Have I gone against your instructions?

Not at all my son! Just watch and see. Though you don’t know I had used you to pass the message I want him to hear to him already. I will handle the rest from here. Just sit and watch. I heard him say quietly to my spirit.

Hmmm! Thank you, Father.

            *.                *.                *

What is happening to me? Why am I this restless? Was Mr. Ade really telling the truth? Is the power actually from God or is he hiding it from me? But he said he is the son of the Lord of Lords. That is the name the believers do call their God and others he mentioned when I was still a Christian.

Seriously I can’t believe that this great power was from God. It just can’t be at all.

As I was speaking, I felt very dizzy and had felt my eyes closing. Oh no! This is not the time to sleep right now. I have a lot of things to do. I just can’t be feeling sleepy right now. Not in the office.

I stood up and took a bottle of water from the fridge in my office.

I drank a glass of the water and then sat back on my chair but this time around it became even more deeper.

I tried keeping my eyes open but before long, I surrendered as I laid my head on my desk.

                            *.                              *                           *                                 

Johnson! Johnson! Johnson! How long will you continue to seek what you can’t get elsewhere? Aren’t you tired already? Will you continue to run away from your Maker? You have gotten a whole lot of wealth and authorities yet you are not satisfied because my peace is absent.

You are now in search of powers where you can’t get them. Why are you punishing yourself this hard?

What! You this old man again? What are you doing here again? I have agreed not to do any evil to Ade anymore.

I only need him to tell me the secret of his powers. I know you are the one giving him the power, please I desperately need this power as well. Give it to me. I will do whatever you ask me to do. Just give me the power.

All of a sudden, the old man blew a breeze on my face and then my eyes opened. Everything around me changed because an amazing light that shines very bright shines brightly everywhere making me afraid.

The old man changed as well. This time around not to anything else, but to a man putting on a white flowing garment with His face shining so bright.

Though the place looks like my office I really can’t tell if it is the same office I do use every day.

At this point, the man was sitting on a very beautiful seat which I don’t know how it came about or who brought it.

His face was shining so bright that I found it very difficult to look at him.

Johnson! My beloved son! Though you have gone astray and left me for so long I never stopped loving you.

I knew that you would come back running to me even without your awareness of something you need desperately.

That power which you seek belongs to me. I know you thought I had never defended you or blessed you all because your spiritual eyes were not open to see what I do for you at every moment.

I am Jesus! The Same one who you don’t believe existed because you have not seen Him. I am the one who died for you on the cross of Calvary. You were very vibrant in your walk with me until you allowed the devil to fill your heart with so many evil thoughts.

Though you were very vibrant then within a little time of your stay with me, you allowed the devil to manipulate you.

He gave you so many reasons why you shouldn’t stay with me.

He deceived you by introducing so many temporary things of the world to you thereby giving you so many reasons why you shouldn’t serve me anymore.

You lacked patience and all you wanted was to be wealthy, powerful, and famous.

That was your original motive of seeking me and that was what was used by the devil to get you.

Now watch this!

A screen appeared from nowhere and I began to watch myself. I saw how I was sleeping on my bed and a demon came to my room. As the demon was about to hold my neck on the bed, another person dressed in white with wings appeared and stopped that demon from touching me.

The next one I saw was someone who I couldn’t really recognize but had a very sad expression on his face putting a substance in my drink.

I never knew that the drink was poisoned by an unknown enemy and as I was about to take the drink, an angel appeared and stretched his fingers towards the drink.

The substance in the drink vanished within a few seconds before I swallowed the drink. I was shocked watching all these things I was never aware of.

Oh! The one that brought tears to my eyes was when I saw an angel on the screen with a very big package coming to give me but met me having sex with a young lady on my bed.

I wept bitterly as I watched the angel going back with my package in his hands.

I remembered all that happened that day very well as it was still very fresh in my memory.

I saw an advert on social media about a job opportunity and the huge amount of money attached to it as well.

I called the phone number and a young lady picked up the call and asked me to come over to the office. I got to the address and marveled at the size of the huge company. Then I was directed to meet the manager.

I never knew that the lady wasn’t an ordinary lady but a demon who was there to block the blessings of God from getting to me. She told me she would grant me the job immediately if I can satisfy her on bed.

However, she said it was my choice as so many applicants were waiting to get the same job as well. I never thought about the offer she made because of the huge amount of money attached to the job.

So I agreed immediately without thinking of anything about my belief in God.

She saw my address and she replied that my house was actually very close to the company than any hotel.

So she asked me to take her to my house.

Which was the most foolish thing I had ever thought about.

This was strange. How a woman I am meeting for the first time in my life is requesting to follow me to my house in order for me to satisfy her in bed. That was supposed to be a signal to me that she was on a mission but I never thought about that.

As if she heard what was going through my mind at that point, she said ” You can accept the offer or reject it if you wish.

I would really love to go to the hotel but I just wanted privacy and your house should be best right now.

Why is this woman so desperate to go to my house? I had never heard such in my entire life before.

I will pay you twice of the salary if you take me to your house. It would just be for once and the job is yours. She replied to my thoughts.

Wow! Immediately I heard that, I never thought about anything again. I hurriedly took her to my house like someone who was being controlled spiritually.

Unknown to me, she had a hidden agenda that must be carried out in my own house. It was at that point while we were in bed that the angel appeared with the answers to every of the prayers I had been praying in the past months. All these was what was showing on the screen.

Oh! I wept as the angel shook his head and disappeared with the blessings after meeting me on the fornication bed.

What shocked me the most was that while having sex with the strange lady, I saw another demon through the screen using a syringe and needle on my body. She appears to be extracting something from me. I was confused and really did not understand what that was and just as if Jesus read my thoughts, he replied to me immediately.

Those were your glory she was extracting. You exchanged your glory with that money. You literally sold off your birthright that day for a certain amount of money which was not going to last for long. That same money has never given you peace of mind.

Have you imagined why you were not given the job by that lady who came to your company recently? You thought it was because you were not young enough but that wasn’t the case.

It’s because you had lost the virtue she needed already. So you were not useful to her.

Some of my children all over the world are just too careless with their lives and destinies and that is why the devil keeps on tricking them and collecting their birthright in exchange for a very fake thing that looks real in their eyes.

They do call Esau a fool for selling his birthright in exchange for food not knowing they make that same mistake unknowingly with their way of life almost every day.

Immediately He stopped speaking, and the screen appeared again but very blank.

Then all of a sudden, the screen changed and I saw a woman who I recognized to be my old mother in the village. She was kneeling down and praying with tears coming flowing from her eyes. Oh! I felt really bad as I recounted all the evils I had done to my mother as her only surviving child.

Since I became very rich after my encounter with that young lady, I had never once called my mother on the phone to ask about her well-being or talk more about going to visit her in the village.

I lied to my wife when I was about to get married to her that my mum died two years after my dad’s death.

So I hired another woman who stood in place of my mum as my mother while my mother was still very much alive and suffering in the village.

The hatred I had for my mother began when a prophet whom I stumbled on a bus told me about everything happening in my life and how my mother who had succeeded in killing my other siblings was responsible for it.

He told me to stay very far away from her and never communicate with her anymore if I want to live long.

At that moment, I hated everything concerning my biological mother.

I never allowed her to know anything going on in my life and each day I wish she died wherever she was.

How come this same woman whom I had believed all these years to be a witch is on her knees praying for me?

“Lord! Please let your mercy locate my son wherever he is. Don’t allow the plans of the evil ones to succeed over him. Jesus bless my son wherever he is. Deliver him from every bondage and shield him from the wicked ones. Oh! Let Johnson have a personal encounter with you oh Lord. Let him fulfill the purpose which you have created him for. Oh! Father remember your promises over Johnson and let them be fulfilled by your mercy. Help me to see my son once again before I go home finally to rest.” She continued praying and weeping at the same time before the screen disappeared again.

This time around, I fell on the floor and wept bitterly. Oh! I am not worthy of my mother’s love. I neglected her all because of a wrong message given to me.

Ah! I am not worthy to be called her son. I never knew it was a wrong prophecy. I thought the prophet was a true man of God.

That was where you got it all wrong Johnson. You listened to the prophecy and believed it without confirmation from the One who knows everything. You should have asked me.

Though I kept on telling you that it was wrong you were too carried away by anger at that moment. You never listened to my voice and you decided to do what he said.

That man who pretended to be…
