🔥 THE MINISTER 🔥

Episode 21

As she sped along, she thought to herself. What kind of pride is this?
This guy is a dead man already. He didn't seem like someone that had someone he listens to. She was irritated in her heart but still, she heard that still small voice.

"You disobeyed my instruction," the Holy Ghost said to her.

"He's such a proud person. He doesn't deserve any favour whatsoever", she replied in her mind.

"Oh wow, and you deserve the favour you have now?"

"Well I'm not proud. I brought myself under subjection. Me I dey listen na"

"Do you know that it is the same pride in him that is in you. That's what is speaking now"

Her heart skipped a beat. It then dawned on her that for her to come to the place where she thought she deserved the mercy and favour God had bestowed unto her meant she was proud. She remembered, grace brought her there. Who was she to feel entitled to His grace?

"Turn this car now and go back"

"What!!! No Lord no. I can't. Please don't make me do this. Lord please no"

He didn't repeat himself. She knew he wouldn't. She slowed down the car and parked. A tear trickled down her face. She knew she had no choice but to obey. She knew this was a key to her next level. She knew, but she didn't want to. She also knew better than to be led by her emotions. Slowly, she turned the car and headed back to Presido's house. He was sitting in front of the house when she got back. He seemed so surprised to see her. He tried checking if he had forgotten anything in her car.

"You're here. Any problem?" He asked with a calmer energy than before.

"No actually. As....I.....I actually....the Holy Ghost asked me to come back. He asked me to give you this before but I forgot, she said stretching out a white paper bag which contained a plate of rice and chicken, a bottle of Pulpy Orange, some pastries and an envelope to him.
He stared at her for a minute before collecting it.

"Have a nice day," she said in a hurry to leave but again, the Holy Ghost asked her to still talk to him. She desperately wanted to cry, but she comported herself.

"Does ministry matter more to you than true fellowship?" She asked calmly.

Presido was taken aback by the sudden question. He didn't answer though. He was still trying to process why had asked her to come back.

EPISODE 20

"See Presido, mi o gbadun o", she thought. But she didn't say it out loud. She simply took a deep breath and sighed. She was irritated but didn't show it, instead she beamed with a smile.

"I'm sorry about that. Presido, e ma binu. Since you're an adult, who am I to be lecturing you? I'm just a small child still growing. What do I know? Unlike you that has spent years in ministry. Don't mind my childishness jare. Let me not waste your time", she said smiling. Presido felt proud that she had realized her mistake.

"Ehen, now you're talking. It is well with you this younger generation sha. Thanks for the ride anyway. It's such a pity that I didn't take my car out today. Thank you sha," he said arrogantly.
The young lady smiled, though filled with disgust. She quickly started the car and made ready to go as Presido alighted. She didn't even bother asking the Holy Ghost about the food and sum of fifty thousand naira that he had asked her to give Presido. Whether or not He was still interested in giving him, she wasn't and she didn't mind the consequences of her actions. She would rather face that than give this arrogant man. He didn't worth it at all. She didn't say anything, she just drove home thinking of how she had just wasted her time.

Back in Pastor Segun's house, his wife was pleading with him.
"Honey you didn't have to do that now. That boy was hungry and the Holy Ghost asked me to give him food. You just prevented me from obeying the instruction of the Holy Ghost. And you know instructions are keys to next level", she said almost in tears.

"Is it the Holy Ghost that bought the food in the house? I don't know why you women think like this. I am the head of this house. My decision stands and is final, do you understand?" He shouted authoritatively.

"Honey you are the head of this house, I'm not disputing that, but even the bible says you should immitate Christ as He is the head of the church. Christ never refuses to help the needy, or give food to the hungry", she said patiently.

"Okay you are now lecturing me abi. You have now grown wings to be teaching me the bible. I don't have sense abi, I don't have the Holy Ghost", he retorted.

She was burning inside, but she didn't show it. Her role was to be submissive and she would do just that. She went on her knees and pleaded.

"Honey, please don't be annoyed. I didn't imply any of that. In fact, I'm sorry for everything I said. Let's just forget this conversation ever happened okay. You know I love you," she said and gave him a warm hug. He smiled feeling proud of himself. She was a wonderful woman, but how she had ended up with such a horrible man who didn't deserve her was still a mystery. He didn't say anything, he just left. He wasn't mad, he just wanted to feel proud.

Presido laid like a dead man on the bed. He had not even drank water since he got back from Pastor Segun's house. He was as weak as anything he knew of. Somehow his mind went to the question the young lady had asked him, "Who is God?"

He had been pondering on it since he got back. Who really was this God?
He had felt really hurt when that lady had called him a primary school student. Who was she to determine that? He had lived all his life serving this God. He remembered all those days him mum would wake him and his siblings up just to go to church. It usually angered him alot. He had sacrificed a lot for this God. And to him, he really didn't deserve everything that was happening to him. He deserved much more. His stomach grumbled. The last time he had experienced hunger like this was when he was very young. It felt like he wouldn't wake up the next morning, but did he?

🔥 THE MINISTER🔥

Episode 19
.... zoomed in front of him. He didn't know who it was until the person came down from the car and approached him. It was a sister from the church. One of the very few sisters who didn't drool over him. He didn't know her much, in fact, from the little he knew, she wasn't really an active member of the church. She approached him with a big smile on her face. For the first time he noticed her beauty. No it wasn't just beauty, there was something about her. There was something about her smile that was just different.

"Presido, good morning sir," she said warmly as she approached him. Her voice was tiny, but her confidence was charming.

"Good morning missssssss" He dragged trying to recall her name.

"Evelyn," she reminded him.

"Yes....miss Evelyn"

"Sir please drop the formalities jare. Sister Evelyn is okay," she said smiling again. She sure seemed to smile alot.

"What are you doing here though? Do you stay in this estate?"

"Huh, no I don't. I came to see someone. I just decided to rest a bit before going home. What about you?"

"Well I stay in this estate", she said playing with her fingers.

"I can drop you off if you don't mind", she added.

He would have said no, but when he remembered what was at stake, he decided to drop his ego and accept that this was God showing him mercy.
"But which God sef? Is it the God that could not save him from being sacked? Or the God that couldn't prevent his phone from getting stolen? He had served this God with all he had yet he had nothing to show for it now," he thought.
"Did this God even exist?" He asked himself.

"Okay", he said simply.

She ushered him into her silver Venza that stood proudly by the roadside. They talked all through the way home.

When they finally reached his house, as Presido was about to alight from the car, she pulled him back and said, "I don't usually go through the route I went through today. I was quite confused when the Holy Ghost asked me to pass there, I don't know but I think there's something God wants to tell you. I sense there's a lot of pain and confusion in your mind. I don't know what's going on in your life right now but God wants you to know that He's not done with you yet. God really is not done with you Presido. But do you even know this God? You have been so overwhelmed with activities and ministry that you have forgotten the main thing", she said softly.

"I don't understand what you're saying. I'm a man of God, I have been serving God for over ten years of my life, " he said proudly. She could see the pride in his eyes, it was so evident.

"Hmmmm, can I ask you a question?" She asked.

"Yes go on."

"Who is God?" She asked.
He stared at her taken aback by the question. He knew the answer, or at least he thought he did. But as he tried to answer, he realized he actually didn't.

"Presido, you preach a lot about a God you don't even know," she said warmly. She was so calm and warm in her expression that you could see that she was not in any way just trying to prove a point. She was not as egocentric as the ignorant baboon sitting in her car.

"What makes you think I don't know God? Of course God is a supreme being, the creator of heaven and the earth", he replied not willing to accept defeat.

"Jomi, that was a definition we all learnt in primary school. I wasn't asking you to define God. If it's the revelation of God you had since primary school that you still have now, then, no offence but that only means that in the realm of the Spirit, you're still in primary school. There is more to God than being the creator of heaven and earth Jomi", she said still maintaining the calmness.

He was shocked she knew his name. It had been a while anyone called him by his real name. He breathed in and out. For some reason, he felt angry.

"Did your parents train you to be this disrespectful? You don't call adults by their names," he said harshly.

Her heart must have skipped many beats. It was his audacity for her. This was the height of pride she had seen all her life. Did this guy think she was one of those ladies who flaunted about desperate for his attention.

"See Presido, mi o gbadun o.....
