THE JESUS SLAY QUEENS
Episode 52
The door bell rang.
"Yes I'm coming!" I said as I ran to open the door.
"Juliet be careful! You're still recovering!" Susan said and overtook me.
"I'm healed. Don't call me a recovering person again. I am healed!" I replied.
"I know you are, but the rough play you and Ella played today was something else. Please rest and let your body heal properly!" She said and opened the door.
It was Mr and Mrs Abayomi at the door.
"Mummy and Daddy!" We all yelled like little kids.
We literally jumped on them. It was my first time meeting daddy since my incident. He had been out of the country and just came back today. Mummy went to get him actually, so it was a great reunion.
"Juliet! I heard you had a fist battle with 15 girls in your school. Only you against 15 girls, yet they were no match for you!" He said grinning.
"Yes ooo! I beat the hell out of them!" I replied smiling."
"Haa! Aunty Juliet! You wey dem nearly kill?" Ella said clapping her hands in scarsm.
"Nearly kill who? They were at my mercy!" I replied.
"So how come you landed in the hospital and they didn't?"
"I went to the hospital to freshen up. You know the hospital is not only a place for treatment but a place to relax!" I replied and everyone burst into laughter.
"Madam! You really try! God go bless the labour of your hands," she replied.
"Amen oooo!" I said aloud.
"Funny girl!" Daddy said and shook his head.
"So Daddy what did you bring for us?" Ella asked.
"Yes! Bring me the bag over there!" He requested.
Susan went to get it, but I outran her and playfully pushed her out of my way.
"Mummy tell Juliet ooo! Ever since she recovered, she has been playing rough play. Tell her to stop ooo! She almost opened the wound on her stomach today!" Susan reported.
"Mummy don't mind them. They keep telling me I'm not strong, that I am sick. While me I'm busy proving to them that I am very strong. They're even getting jealous of my strength!" I said in my defense.
Daddy and Mummy burst into laughter.
"Please take it easy! You're strong and we can all see you are. There's no need to prove anything. Just be careful, so the wound can heal faster and dry up completely.
"Okay ma! But Mummy! Tell them to stop looking for my trouble ooo! I will deal with them the way I dealt with those 15 girls," I said.
"Or we will deal with you more than the way the 15 girls dealt wait you?" Susan replied.
"Susan!" I shouted and ran after her. She took to her heels and we both chased each other around the sitting room.
"Okay! That's enough! Let's see what I brought for you girls," the Daddy of the house announced.
He brought out dresses and some shoes. I was given a pink new gown. Susan and Ella also received a a gown each. We were all given a tye same type of gown, the same style, but a different colour. Susan's gown was yellow, while Ella's gown was blue.
I guess someone would help me with this mystery.
Anyway I was so excited when Mummy opened her bag and brought out a cooler of egusi soup and wraps of fufu. I jumped in excitement.
We all jubiliated.
"Let's go and devour!" I said to the girls.
We all sat down at the dining table and unfolded the wraps of fufu. While everyone was still eating one wrap of fufu. I was done with one and was unwrapping the third.
"Haa! Juliet! Wait for us na! Don't forget you are not eating this food alone," Susan said.
"Aunty! The battle is won by the swift. If cannot be be swift, give me chance."
"You're not faster than me ooo! It's just that I decided to be slow today," Ella said.
"Flimsy excuses! You know you cannot handle a champion like me. Just admit it and stop claiming you can handle me!* I replied.
"Really?"
"Yes!"
"Susan, can you hear your sister? Does she know who I am?"
Susan stood up.
"Do both of you know who I am when it comes to eating competition?"
"Haa! Today is food eating competition. Fast and furious! Let's see who will be the winner. First to finish!" Ella announced.
"No! It's first to belle full!" Susan and I chorused in unison.
"What? What kind of food eating competition is that?" She shouted.
"Let's see who will get tired first and stop eating. That would be the
loser." I said.
"Are you ready?" Ella asked.
"Ready!" Susan and I replied.
"Start!" Ella announced and we began to devour.
We ate and ate until there had to be a loser which was Ella. Susan and I were not ready to quit at all. I wasn't ready quit either, but my body betrayed me. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach at the place where I was stabbed and quickly accepted defeat.
I already had a bulging tommy. I looked at the two girls who were so heavy and saw they were almost looking like pregnant women. None of us could stand up to do anything. We all remained on the chair like a bunch of lazy women.
Ella managed to drag herself from the chair and went upstairs. It was already 10pm that night. We were supposed to pray by midnight tonight. Haa! I just remembered ooo.
I managed to clear the dishes and rushed upstairs to Ella's room.
"Ella! Please to forget our prayers by 12am tonight!" I said as. I opened her door.
"I cannot get up ooo! Jesus! Na who send me food competition?"
"Let's try our best please. We have already told God we would be meeting by 12 in the night. The angels have already heard it. They will be here immediately it is time for the prayers. Please, let's do our best to ensure we are present!"
"Julie baby! You don't understand we have been attacked. I can't believe I knew all these and allowed it to happen. If mummy had seen us, she would have told us to stop immediately."
"I don't understand what you're talking about? Are you saying the devil attacked us to stop us from praying tonight?"
"Yes! Eating too much at night is one of the reasons why you feel too tired to pray. Infact we are usually advised to eat something light before going to bed, so we are not so tired by the time we wake up to pray. I can't believe I neglected all these instructions. I got carried away!"
I felt guilty on the spot. These girls had become so friendly with me. We were like strangers in the house. But they suddenly came close to me and what did I do to them? I have pushed them into commiting the son of gluttony.
Haaa! Juliet! See what you have done!"
Proverbs 13:20 He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
That was the scripture that popped up in my heart.
Oh no! They have made friends with the wrong person. I was nothing but a bad influence to them.
"Ella! I'll set an alarm! I know it will surely wake us up!"
Ella remained silent, not uttering a word.
I reached for her phone and unlocked her password. I quickly set an alarm.
"It's 10:30pm already. Please rest! By the time it's 12am, you'll feel better.
"It's alright! That's if God says he'll cancel the natural order. Because by nature, we will sleep till daybreak."
"No Ella! Don't say that! Have faith in God!" I said almost crying.
"Gluttony is one of the biggest sin that many believers are taking for granted. And it is one of the sins that destroys prayer life so fast. It is also the sin that fuels masturbation and pornography.
Each time you eat too much, the urge for copulation becomes high. That's why in the world, when a guy takes a lady out to mess her up, the first thing they do is to eat or drink alcohol. It's not because they need strength to perform the act, it's because it is the pattern that fuels the urge to commit sin.
That's why first Corinthians 10:7 says, 'Do not be worshipers of handmade gods, as some of them were; just as it is written [in Scripture], "The people sat down to eat and drink [after sacrificing to the golden calf at Horeb], and stood up to play [indulging in immoral activities].'
Gluttony fuels the urge for immorality. That's why if you notice very well, some or most of the people addicted to masturbation and pornography eat alot. They have very large appetites and can shock you with the quantity of food they take in.
They usually say that one sin leads to another. Gluttony is one of the sins that leads to the sin of fornication.
Mummy once told me that if you cannot control your belly, you cannot handle any demon."
I already had tears in my eyes.
"Ella please stop talking like this. Where is your faith in God? Can't God still make a way for us?"
"Yes he can!"
"So stop concluding we have lost the battle to the devil! We are going to pray whether the devil likes it or not!"
"Juliet! Principles are very powerful. We have failed the principles of waking up at night to pray. The only thing that can break the protocols right now is God's mercy!"
"Then let's hold on to mercy! Let's ask God to show us mercy so we can wake up for the prayers!"
I held her hands and wept as we prayed together.
I left and entered the room Susan and I shared together. Susan who was supposed to be reading her bible tight now was already fast asleep.
"God I'm so sorry! These girls were on fire before I met them. Now I've infested them with my coldness. Please don't let the devil win the battle! Please Lord! I beg of you!"
Those were the lasts words I spoke. The next thing I saw was a picture of two naked people fornicating with each other. It was as if I was watching a video.
I wanted to look away, but I didn't know how the urge to keep looking at them took over me. I continued watching them commiting sin, until I was seriously aroused.
The next thing I saw myself doing was shocking. I reached out for my thighs and was was about to play with my organ when I suddenly realized myself.
"Jesus!" I shouted and jumped out of the bed.
I looked around and discovered I was in the house. I can't believe I was almost masturbating in the dream.
I quickly checked the clock on the wall. It was 6:30am.
I almost felt like killing myself.
"Daddy! We prayed! We asked you to stop the devil from stopping us." I lamented.
"YOU PRAYED YES! BUT THE BIBLE SAYS WATCH AND PRAY! WHAT HAPPENED TO NUMBER TWO? YOU PRAYED, BUT YOU WHERE NOT WATCHFUL!"
To be continued...
Gluttony fuels the urge for immorality. That's why if you notice very well, some or most of the people addicted to masturbation and pornography eat alot. They have very large appetites and can shock you with the quantity of food they take in.
Don't play with this information. One of the things that kill prayer life is the sin of gluttony.
We have overlooked it and called it sweet names, foodie,
That thing kills prayer life very well. That was one of the enemies I fought with in order to build consistency in the place of prayers.
Adjust the way you eat, especially before going to bed. So that you will not be too heavy to get up for your quiet time.
You guys should pray for Juliet and her Slay Queens oooo. Satan is seriously fighting tooth and nail to stop the assignment God has placed in their hands.
