Written by Nnenne uju izuanagbara.
“it is so good to have you in our mist. Kelvin. With you, i am sure to get alot of souls into my Kingdom”. This December promises to be the best of it’s kind for you. Not to worry. You will swim in the ocean of wealth and millions. You will no longer be ridiculed. Whatever you want will be at your beckon. Just name it, or wish it, it is yours”.
I was supposed to be excited but i wasn’t. Still, my spirit was cold. I felt something wasn’t right but i couldn’t place it. The queen sensed i wanted to say something then she said to me…
-c’mon kelvin, speak up. what’s bothering you?
-Please, where i’m i? why do i feel so strange? why do i feel i’m not in the right place?
SHE TURNED TO MORIAH AND SAID….
-Why is he still like this? you did not do your Job well.
-Your majesty i did. With time, he will be fine.
SUDDENLY I REMEMBERED ALL I WENT THROUGH. I BROKE INTO TEARS. THE QUEEN STOOD UP, WALKED TOWARDS ME, I WAS STARTLED BY HER BEAUTY. HER HAIR WAS SO LONG. ALL MY, I HAVE NOT SEEN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL BEING. SHE WALKED UP TO BE WITH THIS CHARMING SMILE. SHE WIPED THE TEARS OFF MY EYES AND SAID,…..
– “I WILL HELP YOU. wipe your tears. This kingdom does not make a promise it can’t fulfil. Many like you came here with tears but today, they are enjoying. You will be all you wish to be on one condition.
AS SHE WALKED BACK TO HER THRONE, I WONDERED WHAT HER CONDITION WILL BE. AT THAT POINT, NOTHING MATTERED TO ME ANYMORE. MY FAITH MATTERED NO MORE. I WAS CONCIOUS OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. I KNEW I HAVE LOST MY SALVATION, MY REDEMPTION HAVE BEEN TERMINATED, I CARED NO MORE. WHAT HAS SALVATION BROUGHT TO ME, I THOUGHT. IT HAS BROUGHT NOTHING BUT PAIN, SHAME, AND MISERY. SO I THOUGHT. AS THESE THOUGHTS RAN THROUGH MY HEAD, I HEARD THE QUEEN SAY SOMETHING. SHE SAID….
-you will marry moriah!!!!
WHAT!!! That easy? i couldn’t believe it. I was about jumping into space when she Thundered what turned into a bitter pill.
-……….As an invisible wife!!!! This means you are not permitted to have any other wife in the world. You will continue with your work of MINISTRY but in a new dimension, according to my instruction. You will possess great powers to see vision. That’s what the people of the world wants. They like PROPHECY. You will be one if the most powerful prophet in your locality. So long as you keep sleeping with my princess, MORIAH. Deal or no DEAL!!!
WITHOUT WASTING ANYTIME, I SHOUTED DEAL. TEARS ROLLED MY EYES. DEAL WITH THE DEVIL. I WAS VERY CONCIOUS OF WHAT I WAS DOING. I KNEW I HAVE FALLEN, I NEVER KNEW IT WASN’T JUST AN ORDINARY FALL….I WAS DOOMED.
RIGHT THERE IN THE MARINE, I WEDDED MORIAH. I SPENT TWO WEEKS IN THE SEA. THAT NIGHT, I CAME BACK TO EARTH. I HAD NO IDEA, THE NEXT STEP TO TAKE. I JUST WALKED OUT OF THE BEACH AREA. GETTING TO THE MAIN ROAD, I SAW CROWD. PEOPLE GATHERED. I WALKED TOWARDS THE CROWD. I NOTICED A WOMAN CRYING. SHE HELD A CHILD IN HER ARMS. I WAS TOLD THE BABY DROWNED IN A WELL NEAR THE COMPOUND. THE BABY HAD STOPPED BREATHING. HE LAID LIFELESS ON HIS MOTHER’S ARM. I WALKED UP TO THE WOMAN.
-Woman, i said, by the power of God, your child will live again.
I LAY MY LANDS ON HIS CHEST, AND CLOSED MY EYES. I FELT A HEAVY FORCE, LEAVE ME. I FOUND MYSELF SPEAKING IN STRANGE TONGUE. THAT WASN’T THE HOLYGHOST TONGUE I SPOKE. I NOTICED THE BOY WAS JERKING TOO. THE SNEEZED AND OPENED HIS EYES.
THE QUEEN IS WISE, SO I THOUGHT. INDEED, SHE WAS OUT TO HELP ME. THAT SINGLE MIRACLE WAS THE EXPOSURE I NEEDED. TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT, I BECAME POPULAR. I BECAME PROPHET KELVIN. MY FAME WENT ACROSS. MEN OF TIMBER AND CALIBER CAME TO ME FOR ALL SORTS OF CONSULTATIONS. EVERY NIGHT, MORIAH COMES. WE WILL MAKE OUT ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. THAT WAS HOW I RENEWED MY POWER.
DECEMBER 15th, I BOUGHT MYSELF A BRAND NEW LEXUS JEEP, LASTEST MODEL. DECEMBER 20th, i BOUGHT MY FIRST DUPLEX. AN EIGHT BEDROOM DUPLEX, ALREADY FURNISHED.
I WAS READY FOR DECEMBER. I COULDN’T WAIT TO GO HOME. I THOUGHT OF A MORE LOUDER WAY TO ANNOUNCE MT NEW STATUS. CRUSADE CAME TO MIND. I DECIDED TO ORGANIZE A VERY BIG CRUSADE IN MY VILLAGE. I ALSO HAD IN MIND TO RIDICULE PASTOR HEAVSON. I WENT TO HIS OFFICE WITH A BOTTLE OF VERY EXPENSIVE ITALIAN WINE TO MAKE HIM A GUEST SPEAKER IN THE CRUSADE. I ALSO GAVE HIM ONE MILLION NAIRA TO MAKE PREPARATIONS. HE COULDN’T RESIST THE HONOUR. HE OBLIGED.
I THOUGHT OF INVITING REVEREND JUDE, MY FATHER IN FAITH. I WENT TO HIS OFFICE. HE OFFERED ME SEAT. I SAT. MY REV LOOKED AT ME FOR TEN MINUTES AND BURST INTO TEARS. I WAS AFRAID. MY DADDY IN THE LORD IS ALWAYS A MAN IN THE SPIRIT. THOSE TEARS TOLD ME HE ALREADY KNEW.
MY DADDY KNEW, HE KNEW (crying). HE KNEW THAT THE KELVIN BEFORE HIM IS NO LONGER THE KELVIN HE KNEW. I WAS AFRAID BUT THEN, MORIAH CAME IN. SHE WAS INVISIBLE BUT I SAW HER. SHE ORDERED ME TO LEAVE AT ONCE. ONCE SHE IS AROUND, I LOOSE CONTROL OF MYSELF. I CAN ONLY CONTROL MYSELF TO DO WHAT SHE SAYS. AGAIN, REVEREND JUDE SAID….
-How terrible!!!! a child of God, now a son of balia, entangled with the daughter of darkness.
I BECOME MORE AFRAID.
-kelvin, he shouted. you have just made the worse decision. You just boarded a wrong flight my son. This flight is leading you to BERMUDA!!! have you heard of BERMUDA? It is said that no plane crosses and comes back. You are heading to BERMUDA, A PLACE OF NO RERURN. The door of grace is open for you my son. Cancel this flight NOW!!!
ON THE OTHER HAND, MORIAH WAS SCOLDING ME TO FOLLOW HER IMMEDIATELY. MY REV WAS SINGING….
Jesus, who gave his life for you
what have you done for him
He died on the cross, for you and me
He shed his blood, for all of us
He died on the cross, for you and me……
what have you done for him!!!
MY REV CRIED AS HE SANG. MORIAH FIRED BACK….
-don’t be a fool kelvin, where were they when you were duped and rejected, almost left to die. Where was he?
THAT’S RIGHT, I SAID. WHERE WAS HE!!!
I FOLLOWED MORIAH OUT!!!
