Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 23

“Since birth, two powers have been battling over your ownership,” the woman of God revealed and Mr Samuel stood stiff like a stone watching her.

“You grew up in grace and in favour with God and men. From childhood, you began to sing soul lifting songs and people became very fond of you. It was on one of those your occasions of singing special numbers that a white man took note of you and began to sponsor you.

All the while, you thought it was your local church pastor that sponsored you because you lived with him after your mother’s death, but it’s not true.” She said looking at the confused Mr Samuel, then she continued.

“Do you know any White man called Smith Bush while growing up?” She asked and Mr Samuel shouted,

“Yes! Yes, yes ma! He used to hug me each time I finished singing in the church and tell me that I will be a great child…” He said and opened his eyes and ears to hear more.

“Smith Bush was your original sponsor. He didn’t want to be known, so he sent the Pastor allowances for your welfare ranging from your feeding, clothing and educational needs from primary to university level and told him never to mention his name to you or anybody as your sponsor.” She said and he shouted holding his jaw with the palm of his hand.

“Growing up as a young boy and all through your youthful years, you found out that young girls were always having their eyes on you;and were willing to offer you their bodies free of charge, even when you did not ask them out.

But because of your love and fear for God, you avoided them and made a law never to allow women into your room…” The woman of revealed again and he started nodding his head repeatedly and panting hard.

“I did my best…” He tried explaining in tears but she interrupted him..

“Yes, you tried. You started very well and heaven was proud of you. But you couldn’t finish strong. The temptation of that night was supposed to be the last sexual temptation you will face before marriage and heaven had already prepared a promotion for you to go international in your music ministry.

God Himself had gone ahead to place your burden in the heart of many international music evangelists and church leaders who were present in that program you ministered that night in Lokoja.

But you were too weak to resist the temptation. Heaven wept over your downfall” She revealed and Mr Samuel broke down and began to weep loud and roll on the stage as other people including the Pastor joined him to cry.

“But there was a cause” she spoke up after a brief silence. And waited for him to give him audience.

“Do you want to know the cause?” She asked and he nodded with him head unable to talk.

“That week alone, you ministered in about five different churches and that crusade was your sixth ministration. Am I right?” She asked him and he said,

“yes!” Then she continued,

“You were too busy giving out but didn’t make out time to refresh your spirit man. While you were ministering in those programs, some people got healed, depression left so many lives and the hand of God was brought down mightily so that revival broke out in those churches.

This provoked hell and they began to seek for a loophole through which they can deal with you. They found out that if they are able to make you become very busy so much that you can’t find time for personal prayers and studying of God’s word, you will run out of virtue.

And so,they manipulated you into accepting so many invitations,coupled with your job where you are given much responsibilities and other religious activities.

By the time you comes back in the night, you are too tired to pray and once you woke up in the morning you rushed your morning devotion in order to go to work early.” She said and people began to shout ,clapping their hands in amazement as many of them were guilty of busy lives.

“So, that night in Lokoja, you ministered so powerfully and the power of God was everywhere, people got baptized in the Holy Ghost and were soaked in prayers, speaking in tongues none stop while others fell under the power of God.

The atmosphere was a something else, and other international music evangelists who were invited began to purpose in their hearts to work with you.

A particular international preacher from the UK had sworn to invite you over to the United Kingdom to minister in his annual convention and he was ready to take care of the bills of your paper preparation…'” She was talking but had to pause as Mr Samuel began to cry, hitting his head and rolling violently on the stage.

“Ushers, hold him and make sure he doesn’t injure himself” she said and ushers rushed him immediately, trying to calm him. After a while, she began to speak again.

“Sir, give me your ears. Am already exhausted. This is 12:20 pm and I have been standing here since yesterday.” She said and Mr Samuel gathered himself together,still hitting his head in regret,he looked up at her indicating that she should go ahead.

“When you handed the microphone over to the Pastor, everyone were already soaked in the spirit. It was a powerful ministration but virtues had gone out of you. So while you were climbing down the podium, a young girl rushed over to you in tears and hugged, saying,

” Psalmist, I was blessed by your ministrations ” and you felt a thud in between your legs then you released yourself from her and walked past her to your seat. But your life was never the same again after that hug…
