"Hmm, I can't believe this. So Magdalene was a demon all the while..."
I became irritated and infuriated with myself for ever having anything to do with Magdalene.
I thought carefully about the three weeks we had been in the secret relationship hiding behind corners, going to school earlier than normal, writing love letters and doing so much together.
I had developed strong feelings for her such that I was wishing we could make the affair public such that husband and wife does, yet I was blind to know that Magdalene was nothing but Misha; the demon of hell sent to destroy lives, a perfect wolf in sheep clothing. How I escaped her jaw only meant that God had me at heart.
I shrinked and came to my senses then checked the time and discovered it was 2am down into the night.
My textbooks, Bible and writing materials were on the bench.
It was my usual character to study down the night to even daybreak. I didn't know I had enumerated so deeply concerning Magdalene, my formal girlfriend who now appears as the beast of hell coming after my soul. How on earth will I be able to tell my story that I was in love with a demon?
As I continued to meditate on this, I felt a weird wind blew towards my direction and a darkness closed in on me. I looked up into the sky and a smoke of darkness swept over the moon preventing it from giving light upon the earth. Fear gripped my heart and I gathered up to go into my room, but everything came back to normalcy.
Having everything back, I returned to studying. Shortly, sleep wind over me and I was on the bridge between mortals and the immortals - that bridge been called sleep.
Immediately I closed my eyes, I saw Misha standing at the entrance of my house with demons accompanying her.
One of the demons breathing threat flew over to me and began to suppress me to the bench where I lay.
I was being pressed down to the bench. I wanted to stand up but I became so heavy that standing up meant like having a huge mountain behind me.
I started shouting the name of Jesus but it was too heavy for me to pronounce, tried turning either way but I was so stiff, heavy and glued to the bench. I could see the demon standing above and pouncing on me. "If only I can stand up from this place, I would deal with this demon mercilessly." I dare in my mind.
I was at the bridge of the spirit and the physical yet I could not overpower what was behind me, but finally, the name Jesus came out of my mouth. Immediately I said Jesus! the demon disappeared and I opened my eyes. This would be the first time such a humiliating thing would be happening to me.
Distress wore in heavily. I wasn't afraid of the circumstance but was only worried why the enemy should humiliate me this way.
Where was God? Where was my angel and the host of heaven? Why didn't any came to fight this spirit off?
The second question I asked myself was why Misha didn't come by herself. I guess if she had, it would have been worse. Was she afraid of me or was she reserving some little pity for me because of what we had done physically? Well, it will be later on before I would be face to face with her in the battle field.
The thought of her couldn't go off my heart. I saw her again. It was Misha but what I was seeing was Magdalene, because Misha was dwelling in her body so it will be correct to call her either Misha or Magdalene but the real person was Misha.
I was getting late for school. I quickly went to the kitchen, cooked and served everybody, swept and bathed then left for the school.
Throughout the first session, I was not a happy soul. I looked moody and sulky. Everyone was asking me what was wrong including teachers but there was only one man who could attend to my questions - Mr OGBONNA.
During the break, I ran to his office and mate him praying. Despite not knowing that I was in the Laboratory, I heard him praying for different people and I was one among them.
He had his office distinctive from the main laboratory. So I waited, baffled how much he loved me to the point of praying for me in his secret place.
He would always say patting my head; "David I am praying for you."
Well, it became very obvious to me this day that I was being prayed for by a man I respected and cherished so much. That alone lightened my face.
I sat for the next three minutes and I heard him called me in.
"The Lord told me you were waiting for me with things bothering your heart so I had to suspend my fellowship until you are attended to." He said to my surprise after greetings exchanged.
"Sir! You have so much anointing, wisdom and presence of God. You see clearly in the spirit as well which gets me scared most often. Why don't you open a Ministry to reach out to people more?" I asked expecting a positive response.
He shook his head, smiled and looked at me; "David! Ministry is not what you do because you have the anointing or what have you. Ministry is calling and calling is directional. Anointing, wisdom and ability to see spiritually are things every child of God should have. They are the heritage of God's children, but Ministry has do with calling and as I say calling is directional.
As you can see I'm doing my ministry already."
"What do you mean sir?" I asked becoming highly interested in learning.
"You see, I left my former work to become a CRS teacher so as to reach out to students and help them lay a proper foundation."
"Mmm, daddy that's true sir!" I answered thoughtfully.
Mr OGBONNA stood to his feet and brought a flax of warm water and made two cups of tea.
"Have you taken something since morning?" He asked me rolling a spoon in the cups.
"No sir!" I answered simply expecting him to ask me why, but he didn't. Rather, he handed me one cup of tea and I collected it.
"I know you aren't fasting but rather bothered. Now tell me what is the problem. Did you have another vision?" He asked.
"Yes sir! I answered and explained to him the vision I had which was more of like a nightmare.
He smiled and looked at me; "David! You have dealt with stronger powers. What visited you yesterday aside Misha are low ranking demons in the kingdom of darkness. They are the simplest to handle. All you need to do is grow in the knowledge of God's word. They come to test the potency of God's word in you." He explained.
"What about Misha daddy?" I asked
"The angel of the Lord already told you about Misha. Do not be worried about her, but you have to train!"
"Train? Please explain what you mean daddy." I pleaded.
"David! The battles ahead of you are many. Go to your camp; I mean to the word of God, to prayer and purity to gain training." He told me.
"Alright daddy. Thank you so much for being a blessing to my life. my spirit is put alright now." I said and put the cup on the table, then returned back to my class.
"One of the true virtues of calling is the people God place around you, to lead and guide you, not those you are leading. A shepher leading sheep without a shepherd over him is soon to become a prey. Hmm." I thought carefully, nodding my head as I walked back to my class.
"Senior! Why are you nodding your head like that? Are you talking to anybody?" One of the junior students ran to me and asked holding my hand.
"No! I was meditating." I answered.
"Meditating? what is meditation and how do one meditate?" She asked looking confused.
I smiled; "Don't worry. Come and see me tomorrow during break and I will teach you on that." I answered.
"Alright Senior, thank you so much. I use to love it each time you teach us, me particularly." She said and ran to her class happily.
I watch her and smiled, finding fulfilment to how I treated my younger ones in school making them to always rally round me in great love.
