Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 15

*****

Daniel pulled out of the house

and slotted an audio compact

disc into the CD player,

listening to shout to the lord

by Don Moen . The journey

continued until a car started

running after them, Daniel

never knew, he loved the

music so much that he had

engulfed himself in

it. Shortly, the car caught up

with them.

Two hefty guys came down

from the vehicle. They really

knew what they doing

because it was a quiet arena

where no car passing that

minute. Daniel whined down

to question why

he was blocked, then he was

shot by the head. He collapsed

instantly.

The guys went on to Nora and

grabbed her. They threw her

into the vehicle and sped off,

leaving Daniel’s body in the

car.

Gloria stepped out of her

house. She had just finished

praying after she had dressed

up for her place of work.

Her soul had been lifted by her

sister’s words that she heard

the day before and had made

up her mind to let go of Alex.

She had even been brewing

if she should just delete his

mobile number away from her

mobile phone. She had been

hating herself for going into a

relationship with someone

God never approved for her.

God, bring the right man! She

had been muttering around

the house till even that

morning.

As she stopped to pick up a

cab, a car screeched to halt

beside her. She moved

backward as she took some

steps to her left, wondering if

the vehicle had probably

stopped to get something

around. She stood akimbo,

expecting a cab until a young

man came down from the

vehicle. “Hello.” He waved at

her.

She looked by her left to see

the fellow who just waved.

She bowed as she greeted

back. “Good morning.” She

said.

The guy slammed the door

of his vehicle as he wiped his

mouth and pocketed his car

key. He was about six feet and

two inches tall, dressed his

black suit with a low cut

hairstyle. He was handsome,

had a nice redolence even in

his pair of black and shining

Italian shoes. “I waited for

you, dear.” He said.

Is this one a Christian?

Gloria wondered as she

assesed him. Does it even

matter? Bible said in Isaiah

that we shouldn’t judge, who

am I to assume things

already? But wait, why did he

even stop because me? “Me?”

She dimmed her eyes as she

asked, transferring her pure

black leather back to her right

hand.

“Yes. I’m David.” He

stretched his hand for a

handshake.

He’s a Christian, but he’s

dressed as if he’s off to office?

Who’s asking him all these?

“That’s nice.” She just gave a

faint smile.

“I’m sorry, but I’ve stopped

to get you to your

destination.” David said.

Does he know my

destination? Gloria wondered.

“You’re funny.” She chuckled.

“You don’t know my

destination and you’ve talked

as If you know where I’m off

to.”

David chuckled too as he

wiped his face. “I’m Makinde

David, I came to Maverick

Companies yesterday

concerning the contract…”

“Ooh…” Gloria remembered

him then. He came to their

company the previous day but

she didn’t even see him, she

only heard that Makinde David

came around to see the

Director of the company. Gloria

just started working with

Maverick Companies that

supplied building materials to

sites and companies where

they were needed.

“But I didn’t see you,

yesterday, Sir.” She smiled.

“You were busy writing, but

I actually saw you as I was

about to leave your company.”

He smiled.

“Thanks for recognizing me

again.” She smiled too.

“We don’t need all these

here, I’m off to your company

again, can I just drop you off?”

He raised his brows and

shoulders, in quest to know if

she’d agree.

“Urgh…” Gloria smiled. She

wasn’t so comfortable with

the offer, but at least she

knew him already now.

“Alright.” She nodded.

David walked to the

passenger’s seat and got the

door open. “You can sit

down.” He smiled.

Opening the door for a lady

to sit, hmmn… I hope you just

want to drop me off and that’s

all. “Thanks.” She grinned as

she sat down and David closed

the door gently.

He hopped into the car and

kicked the engine.

**

It was the birthday of

Daniel’s mother. He had sent

her text messages and called

her before he left the house

that day. Daniel had also

promised that he would check

on his mother with his wife,

Nora after work that day.

The evil guys had taken

Nora away already while a car

halted behind Daniel’s car. The

car had honked severally for

Daniel to leave the way, the

driver never knew something

had happened.

The driver got down out of

indignance to challenge Daniel

when he met a shot dead

body in the vehicle. He

shivered instantly, trembling

with fear as he rushed back to

his vehicle and kicked the

engine. As he was about to

speed off, he marched on the

brake again and wondered if

he could help.

Firstly, he was afraid if it

was a set up to get someone.

He knew what the world had

turned into already, setting

people up in various ways just

to get their valuables.

Secondly, how sure was he

that he wouldn’t be referred

to as the murderer?

He shook his head in

disagreement to try his

assistance, but felt it would be

unkind of him, by the way, his

conscience wouldn’t give him

peace.

He got down and walked

slowly to the car again,

shivering as he held Daniel’s

wrist to feel his pulse. “He’s no

longer breathing.” He

muttered.

Dropping his hand, he saw

his mobile phone on the

penguin hole of the car and

picked it up. He checked the

last person he called and

found Best Mother. He quickly

dialed the mobile number.

“Hello. There’s a problem.

Could you come to Grace Road,

along Best Way Companies?”

He enquired as he paused for

a moment.

“Just come first, but there’s

a problem.” He said and ended

the call, still wondering if he

wouldn’t get into trouble.

“This man’s dead.” He said

again.

**

“You haven’t told me your

name, my sister.” David said as

he drove on.

“Sorry, I’m Gloria.” She

replied.

“That’s a great name! Sister

Gloria.” He grinned. “Seeing

you, you must also be a good

Christian.” He said.

“Sure, I am a Christian.” She

nodded. “You?”

“Abegii.. I am just David, I

don’t believe in either Jesus or

Allah. There’s no God, don’t let

us just decieve ourselves.”

“No, Mr. David, you’re

wrong. There’s God! A living

one!” Gloria affirmed.

David chuckled. “I know

you’ll start battling with me,

but, there’s one question I use

to defeat everyone who

believes in God’s existence.”

He smiled.

“So? You can ask me and

let’s see if I’ll be defeated too.”

She faced him.

“Have you ever seen your

God before, I mean face to

face now?” He asked.

Gloria chuckled. “So, who

are those you usually ask this

question that can defeat you?

I have seen him severally and

even you!” She said with

passion.

“Don’t trick me, even if you

have seen him before, I have

never! A God I can’t see

doesn’t exist!”

“You definitely have seen

him before, but you never

knew you saw him.”

“You are just beating about

the bush, sister.”

“The book of Exodus 25:8

says, let them construct a

sanctuary for Me,

that I may dwell among them.

Firstly, when you prepare

your heart to see God, you will.

Now, God is not who you can

see physically, but deep inside

you, when you build a

sanctuary for him, you’ll feel

his absolute presence!”

“So, before I see your God, I

have to build a sanctuary? I

hope your company will

supply me with materials.” He

laughed.

“The sanctuary the Bible’s

talking about is your heart!

What is a church? You are a

church! That’s it, the building

in which we are worshipping

God is not the church, it is just

a building! We people

worshiping inside the building

are the church! So, it’s your

heart God needs, not a

building!”

“Hmmn..”

” Matthew 5:8 says blessed

are the pure in heart, for they

shall see God. When you make

up your heart, you will see him

in various dimensions!” She

spoke with passion as she

continued, “the book of

Jeremiah 29:13 also says you

will seek Me and find Me when

you search for Me with all your

heart. So, how do you expect

yourself to see God when you

are not in right terms with

him? How can we be fighting

with you and you’ll decide to

award our company with a

multimillionaire project? That’s

just what it means! Proverbs 6

also said can you be in sin and

ask for grace to abound? You

can’t fighting with God, you

can’t be against him and ever

want him to reveal himself!”

David sighed. “Gloria, no

one has ever quoted this

much to me. Na you write

Bible? But honestly, you just

hit me with words.”

“This is not about hitting

you with words. You shall knw

the truth and the truth shall

set you free, that’s all.”

“If I now want to

experience God’s presence

what do I do?” David asked.

“Just surrender all to him, let

him guide you, then you’ll

know that you’re seeing him!

Then you’ll know he’s not a

dead God because he will be

speaking to you.”

“Gloria..” David just called

her name softly. “I’m a great

sinner. I’m absolutely sure

your God can never accept

me!” He shook his head.

Gloria smiled. “That’s wrong.

My God loves sinners but just

distastes sins, that’s it. If you

confess those sins and start

walking in his way, you’ll really

know of his existence.”

“I want to know more

about this man.” He said.

Gloria smiled. Thank you for

this soul, Lord. She thought

within herself. “Can I have

your mobile number?” She

asked as she brought out her

mobile phone.

“Sure.” David grabbed the

phone and punched in his

mobile number.
