Pastor Dan - S01 E08

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8

CHRIST MERCY CHURCH[CMC] “i Call On Our Guest Speaker Pastor Dan,to Take Us On Preaching Today”i Heard Pastor Musty Said,the Very Minute I Enter The Church.I Look At Idris Who Was Smiling at me Childishly.Oh God If I Had Waste A Little Time At Home Again,it Could Have Been A Big Disgrace To Me,for Coming To Church Late As A New Pastor And On My First day

My Heart Was Vibrating Seriously.Anyway I Manage To Cool Myself Down And Walk To The alter majestically but reluctantly.the happy congregation were clapping their hands loudly which even added more fear to me.my brain immediately went blank,all what i have been rehearsing just when off my head.

i stood at the alter looking at pastor musty childishly like a molded statue.oh god i must learn how to overcome these stage fright…

* *

“first of all brethens,i will start by introducing myself”my trembling voice sang out to the quiet congregation.i could hear the echoe of my voice and i knew i was in for it.

“am pastor dan”i continue,why i could see pen dancing furiously to my tune”well my brethens for todays preaching topic,the topic should be…”i turn and look at the congregation who were staring at me steadily like flies”my topic for today is “WHY DOES GOD ALLOW EVIL AND SUFFERING

“brethens beware God does not support our sufferings.God really have a reason for these.for a limited time now, God allow rebellion against his sovereignty[us]to show that no effort to rule without him benefits people[ecclesiates 7:29;8:9].”i pause”if observe clearly,over the years,human rulers have failed to eliminate war,crime,injustice and disease[jeremiah 10:23;9:17]….”i continues preaching on and on until it preaching time expire…

fast forward……..after service

after service,they was sharing of food and drinks to celebrate my ordanation as a pastor.i was surprise the way idris was eating like a hungry dog.these boy no well o.see as him the eat as if na him own occassion,i was still wearing a thinking Cap,when I Felt A Soft Romantic Touch At My back.instantly i knew it was not a man.i turned my back to see the person and fortunately it was sandra.these girl Eh

My Church Activity was running smoothly for one month until trouble struck again.a seven day fasting and prayers was going to be held and i was in charge of the deliverance section.pastor musty who did the compilement of the activities knew fully well that i cannot even cure a fly talkless of taking incharge of deliverance section Still Put My Name…

“oh thank you jesus”i shouted the very minute i drop the last load.i slum into the big vita foam bed.idris and i have relocated to a new apartment since both of us were working now.the new apartment was more nice than the former one,a two bedroom flat,with kitchen toilet and even tap water.money sweet o.

me:[shouting]idris haven’t you finish bathing ?

idris:[inside the bathroom]ahh these is my first day here na,so allow me to bath and also study and explore everything here

me:okay o.scientist idris mcheww

i stood up from the bed and went to the kitchen to prepaire something to eat.remember these our first day here,so we gat nothing to eat except yam

after boiling yam and oil,i ate my own share and kept some for idris.i came out of the kitchen and met idris at the parlour.he was already through bathing so without wasting time,i went inside the bathroom to take my bath,while idris went to the kitchen to eat after i must have told him i kept Yam For Him

Me:see Is Like You Don’t Understand,both Of Us Are The Only Two Pastor There.There Is No Way He Can Replace My Name With Another Person Name

Idris:[angry]then Tell Him To Replace Your Name With His Name

Me:you Don’t Understand

Idris:anyway I Still Have One Option For You

Me:[eager To Hear The Option]which Is?

Idris:you Asked Him The Source Of His Power

Me:but That Will Not Be Easy And Moreover,i Don’t Think That Man Power Is Natural

Idris:[eye Widen]what Do You Mean?

Me:think Bro,remember The Video Tape.No True Pastor Will Commit Adultry And Still Be Able To Heal People

Idris:yeah That Is True,but Maybe He Had Repented.Infact Just Forget All These Stories Just Try And Visit Him,he Might Have A Solution For You

Me:yeah.Should I Visit Him Now Or Later?

Idris:now Remember Delay Is Dangerous And The Fasting And Prayer Is Next Week

Me:alright Bro.Thanks Very Much
