CROSSROAD – CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

CHAPTER 23 –
© MOMOH GIFT

What do you mean you won’t be able to do that, bro Ade? Are you indirectly disobeying my orders? Who do you think you are? Are you the only Spiritual person who wants to make heaven? When did you even give your life to Christ? Are you behaving as if we are not the same believers? I am telling you that you should stop preaching all those sermons on holiness and rapture. It is just too much.

Can’t you see that we are loosing our members too much already? Just two Sundays before the last, the population has reduced drastically.

Thank God for bro Vincent who came last Sunday and helped us retrieve some of our members back.

Please enough of all those sermons and start teaching on topics that will bring more members to church.

No doubt you are really doing well but you truly need to adjust.

I’m really sorry sir but…

But what? Bro Ade! What do you want to say? You don’t have any excuse to give me at all.

This church needs more members and not reduction of members.

Enough of those teachings please.

You are making the members more scared.

Stop making them to run away from the house of God.

We are to populate the church and not send the people away by what we preached.

The elders have reported you to me already and that is the reason why I have called you into my office to talk to you like a father would talk to his son.

I don’t want you to continue those things.

Let us just be moderate in everything we do.

I really want you to cooperate with bro Vincent because that man is filled with the fire of God and also knows how to use the anointing in the best way.

Please work with him so that both of you can do exploit together.

I am also with you guys because I really enjoy how bro Vincent handled the service last week.

Didn’t you see how he was using the power of God so mightily last week? There were so many miracles and healings.
I want you to learn from him. Please be radical my boy. This will attract wealthy men who will greatly influence our church. Your life shall also be greatly blessed because your pocket will never run dry.

Hmmm! Precious Holy Spirit, is this really my pastor speaking to me in this manner? No this is not the same pastor I know.

Was he not the same person who used to encourage me and even pray for me those days? Oh, Lord! If this is really happening in your vineyard then what would be the hope of so many youths who are trying to grow in the Lord? I really can’t believe that even the Shepherd of the church is going astray already.

What will now happen to us the sheep? Oh! I need to pray more. This is not ordinary at all.

Imagine, the pastor and leaders of the church are trying to attract wealthy men in order to populate the church when we should be winning their soul for Christ and populate the kingdom of God.

The church is now after money and other material things.

Oh God! Please come to our rescue.

We really need your divine intervention, Father. Let every…

Bro Ade! Are you sure you are listening to all I have been saying?
Oh! Ehm! Yes sir.

Better! I really want to see great changes in you okay?

Yes sir!

Good! Please you may excuse me now. Tell bro Vincent that I would like to discuss something important with him immediately.

Alright, sir.

                                    *                                   *.                      *                            

Good day, bro Vincent. The pastor wants to see you in his office.

Good day, Bro Ade! I sincerely admire the way you were teaching during the bible studies yesterday. You are really grounded in the word of God.

You were just flowing so well.

You are indeed greatly anointed by God and I know that very soon you shall be ordained as a pastor and possibly be given the branch of the church to act as the senior assistant pastor.

Honestly, that would be very nice or don’t you like it?

Hmmm! I will only do whatever God wants me to do and not what my flesh desires.

So if it is the will of the Father for me then who I’m I to decline it? I will gladly go.

But if it is not His will then I won’t give in either.

Wow! That’s very nice. See bro Ade! I really want you to know that I am right behind you because I really admire how you work diligently for God.

Please never mind whatever people are saying rather hold firm to your God.

Always feel free to share with me whatever that is bothering you. We shall handle it on the altar of prayers.

Oh! Thank you so much, bro Vincent.

Also, I want you to know that we can be prayer partners and study the word of God together as well.

Let us try to help each other in our walk with God and He will surely see us through.

Amen! I am really grateful to you sir. God bless you.

Amen! You are welcome bro Ade. Let me quickly go to the pastor’s office so as not to keep him waiting for too long.

Alright, no problem sir. I shall be on my way home so as to prepare for work tomorrow.

That’s good. Have a good day. Bye.

Bye, sir.

Hmmm! Wow! My plans are actually working. I could hear the pastor’s voice as I was peeping through the door outside when he was talking to Bro Ade.

I love that kind of anger. Now I will make sure I plant the seed of hatred in his heart and all those who claim to love bro Ade.

I shall be the only one who is permitted to love and care for him so that he would rely so deeply on me and also give me a lot of his secrets on how he relates well with God.

Now, let me quickly meet that foolish man who calls himself a pastor.

A pastor under my own feet.

I shall crush him when I am done with him so that he will go and rot finally in hell.

I will make sure that I make life more miserable for him as I command him around to do whatever I ask him to do.

Let me go inside and hear all the rubbish he wants to vomit out of his mouth.

Good day sir. You sent for me sir.

Yes! Good day, bro Vincent. Please have your seat.

I actually wanted to tell you that you should prepare greatly for the forthcoming program which will commence next week.

You shall handle each day of the program because we know that the mighty hand of God will move powerfully through you.

Wow! That is not a problem at all sir.

I will do my possible best.
Yea. That reminds me bro Vincent.

I want you to also partner with Bro Ade so that a great revival would take place in this church and even in this state as a whole.

Please teach him how to be radical and also how to use the power of God mightily to get miracles and healings.

Oh! That would be awesome sir.

I would be very glad to do that sir.
It’s just that bro Ade would not like to work with me because he seems to be envious of the kind of power and anointing I carry on me.

I overheard him the other day telling someone that I came to overthrow him in this church and that I had made you love me more than him.

He said so many things including his plans of starting his own personal ministry very soon.

However, I was shocked because I never expected Bro Ade to say such things at all.

What! You mean bro Ade said all those words? No! I can’t believe that. Bro Ade cannot say such words. He is not…

Hmmm! I think the evil power I released last night on this pastor is really not strong enough.

He is supposed to believe whatever I say to him about Bro Ade and not doubt anything.

He is supposed to develop a strong hatred for him that whatever Bro Ade does would never be pleasant in his sight.

But here he is trying to defend the brother again.

I really need to be very fast in everything I do.

I must make sure I blind all the spiritual eyes of every leader in this church so that they will never want to see the good of Bro Ade or even associate with him.

I really need to frustrate his life till he gives up and runs to me for help.

Are you still here bro Vincent? Are you bothered about something? Is anything wrong with you?

Not at all, sir. I am just trying to think of the ways we would impact this state and also bring revival to the land.

I will go and speak to Bro Ade as well.

I don’t want us to waste any more time again. The world at large needs to hear from us.

Yes, my son! That’s the spirit. Thank you, Mr. Vincent. I really appreciate your passion for the Lord. I pray that we all shall not lose our reward in Jesus name.

Amen! Thanks a lot.

You are welcome, my dear.

Bye sir

Hmmm! Things are already moving the way I want. It’s just that I really need to add more to what I have done to that pastor so that he would believe and also do whatever I say to him.

All of them in this church shall be under my control.

The elders are not my problem anymore because they have been our instruments right from the very beginning till this time.

Now! I will start to work with Bro Ade as he leads the youth department.

I will make sure I turn everything he has labored for into something else that he can never imagine.

I know what the youths always want to hear. I will teach them that they don’t need to live a holy life before they manifest the power of God.

They shouldn’t waste their time trying to build a relationship with the Lord, studying the word or even praying for hours anymore.

I will show them how to get the power they desire and I will make them love all of my teachings and also make them hate bro Ade and his teachings.

Oh! Lest I forget, I will encourage premarital sex among the youths as well because I notice that most of them are not really strong in the Lord.

They are still baby Christians. Since Bro Ade has released most of them from our trap, I will make sure I put them back into that trap.

They will never be able to escape from me anymore.

I am here to destroy lives and to make every life miserable.

The young girls as well would be totally destroyed because I will make sure I take away all their glory through sex and cause them to have uncontrollable sexual urges so that they can destroy more youths outside for me through sex.

Well! my main target here is bro Ade.

He has to fall or lose his guard before all these would be made possible because I know that he won’t allow me to do anything yet.

I just need to plan very well.

Once I get the shepherd then the sheep’s are all mine already.

Nobody would be able to save the sheep anymore.

Wow! This is indeed a great plan. Let me relax and chill first before I go ahead to meet Bro Ade.

                              *.                              *                        *.          

Oh! This is too much for me to bear all alone Lord.

Even the pastor has joined the elders as well.

Lord, what are you saying to me in this situation? I can’t compromise my faith for anything right now.

Lord, I can’t go against all the instructions you gave to me to please humans.

I have been threatened by the pastor.

He feels I am going to the extreme in my spiritual walk with you.

Lord, please come to my help. I really can’t do this all alone because my own strength will fail me.

I need help oh God. I feel so discouraged right now. It feels like every soul in the church is against me.

Even my close friend Ayo has broken his friendship with me because I refused to compromise and to do what he advised me to do.

I don’t even know where he is right now.

Everyone thinks that I am acting too foolish. Oh Lord please help me.

Will you continue to watch foolishly as Bro Vincent takes over everything you have worked for many years? Can’t you see that people now respect him more because he seems to be manifesting the power of God more than you can even imagine? Even the pastor loves the way he flows in the anointing.

For how long will you continue to follow all these principles of yours? Don’t you think that it’s time for you to manifest so many powers and also command respect from the people? So far what have you gained in your so-called godly principles? You have gained so much hatred, and disappointment and lost so many great opportunities. You have…

Nooo! I rebuke your strange voice.

I refuse to allow such evil thoughts in my heart.

Even if I will die, I will never compromise my faith.

I stand for Jesus alone. I don’t care about the persecutions I am passing through.

I will stand for my Father. Whatever God is not ready to give me now, I will wait patiently for it. I rebuke envy and pride.

Oh! Spirit of God! This is beyond me. I really don’t understand but I feel all these are not ordinary.

The devil is trying to wage war against your church.

Please Mighty man of battle, arise and take charge. I refuse to be weak at this point. Help me to stand strong in you.

Father, please raise men and women that will stand firm for you.

I lay on the floor and began to pray in other tongues.

           *.                                                        *.                                                     *

Oh shit! What sort of a man is this? This man is far stronger than I and Grand Master thought.

See how he rebuked the voice that I programmed in his heart.

He seems to understand the power of evil thoughts which is the reason why he silenced them so fast and began to pray.

He did not even take time at all to ponder on those words in his heart.

Oh! Indeed! I need to prepare more for this man.

I must prevail against him. Ade must be destroyed.

Well! I’m glad that he is the only one standing while I have the pastor, elders, and some other members who will work with me.

Let me see who will win this battle.

The battle has just begun Ade. Be prepared for me. WE SHALL SEE.
