THE JESUS SLAY QUEENS 2
Episode 76

It was an eventful day. I had to do my best to ensure this mentee of mine was groomed into maturity. Honestly I loved the art of giving up on people who are not giving me a level of seriousness I demand for, but this was the first time that he was going to insist on a particular person. It made me to draw a conclusion that God never gives up on his own. In every man there is greatness embedded in your soul.
So I decided to invite him for a prayer meeting in mummy's house. A few of the sisters who were aware of my visit to mummy's place, decided to meet me. It was a reunion for all of us. Some of them were even asking me if the popular music minister Kayla Adebayo will be coming.
Yes, I never said anything about her. She became a popular music minister like those gospel musicians you know who spill out fire when the minister. She was gifted in worship songs and most of the songs she usually sang we're composed by her. We are surprised by this outpouring of the spirit in her vessel. It didn't take long before we started seeing manifestations of healing and strange signs and wonders whenever she sang.
I placed a call across to her. It was her P.A. that answered the call. Wow! So Kayla now has a P.A.? God when am I going to be having my own P.A.?
"Hello! Am I speaking with minister Kayla?"
"No this is minister Kayla's P. A. You can leave a message on to get across to her to me."
"Actually this is Juliet Anderson! And I would request you give the phone to her so we can talk."
"Well she gave me strict instructions not to bother her because she's having a personal rehearsals. She will get back to you as soon as she's done in the next 3 hours."
"What do you mean 3 hours? I don't have 3 hours. Tell her that her mentor wants to speak with her."
"I'm sorry ma! I'm only doing my job."
"You would be sorry if she finds out I insisted and you refused. You better do what I'm telling you right now before anything bad happens."
"I'm sorry I just can't do what you are asking of me. A lot of people have always tried to make an exception and each time I allowed them, I always get the worse from her. In order to avoid a repetition of those bad experiences, please beer with me. In three hours time you'll be speaking in the great music minister.
By the way, you said you are her mentor, why aren't you a great music minister like her?"
This was an insult of the century. Anger boiled within me and I was going to lash at her. Instantly, I felt a restriction in my spirit. My mind quickly flashed back to what daddy taught me the previous day and I understood what was happening.
"BE ANGRY BUT DO NOT SIN!" That was the scripture that being used to reply me.
I understood I was still a work in progress. God was dealing and braking me developing the fruits of meekness in my vessel.
"Daddy this is the most humiliating act I've ever seen. If at all you wanted to break my pride, why didn't you do it in a better way?"
"ARE YOU GOING TO TEACH ME HOW TO DO WHAT I KNOW HOW TO DO BEST?"
"No sir! But this is seriously humiliating!"
"IT WAS HUMILIATING BECAUSE YOU ARE SO LOADED WITH PRIDE. THE MORE THEY PRIDE IN YOU GUYS THE MORE YOU WOULD NOT SEE AN OFFENCE IN THE QUESTION SHE HAS BUT SIMPLY GIVE AN ANSWER. SHE ASKED THAT WAS INSULTING BUT ALSO HAS AN ANSWER. YOU BETTER LET GO OF YOUR PRIDE EARLIER IF NOT, I WILL DISGRACE YOU."
"Haaaaaaaa! Daddy, it hasn't gotten to that na! I'm a humble girl oh! If you see my humility ehn! You would be so shocked!"
"I HAVE HEARD YOU. ANYWAY, I AM WATCHING YOU. IF YOU LIKE MISS BEHAVE I WILL CRUSH YOU AND TAKE AWAY YOUR PRIDE."
"Hello are you there?"
"Yes I understand your question but I'm not a music minister, because I was'nt called into music ministry. That's the reason why I'm not a music minister like your boss."
"Oh! Okay! Please I am so sorry for the question I asked. I'm not supposed to ask that kind of question. It is so wrong of me. I'm even talking to my boss' mentor and I am speaking as if I am the boss. This is someone my boss will say yes ma to and I have been misbehaving all along.
Please woman of God, I am deeply sorry for the response I gave you earlier. Can you find a place in your heart to forgive me?"
It looked like I was dreaming. The PA that spoke irrationally was now speaking with so much respect and revere for me. Daddy is this how you exalt the humble?
"THINK YOU WOULD GET RESPECT BY SHOUTING AT EVERYBODY? YOU LIE! THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT CAN BE RESPECTED ON EARTH ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE HUMBLE. YOU HUMBLE YOURSELF I LIFT YOU UP. YOU CARRY YOURSELF UP AND I THROW YOU DOWN.
REMEMBER THE STORY OF GOLIATH AND DAVID. GOLIATH WAS SUCH AN EXPERIENCED WARRIOR, THAT DAVID WAS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO HIM. FOR GOOD 40 DAYS, HE INSULTED THE ARMY OF THE LIVING GOD AND INSULTED THE LIVING GOD ALONG WITH THEM.
HE KEPT DEMANDING FOR THE HEBREWS TO BRING OUT A CHAMPION TO FIGHT HIM AND AT LAST APPEARED A BOY SO TINY. A BOY WITHOUT WEAPONS OR ARMOUR. A BOY HOLDING A SHEPHERD'S STICK AND A BACKPACK.
GOLIATH FELT INSULTED THAT HE HAD TO ASK DAVID IF HE WAS A DOG THAT YOU PURSUE WITH A STICK. IT WAS MUCH MORE OF AN INSULT WHEN DAVID BEGAN TO OPEN HIS MOUTH TO TELL HIM THAT HE WAS GOING TO CUT OFF HIS HEAD. IF AT ALL A WARRIOR WAS GOING TO CONFRONT GOLIATH, IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A SMALL BOY. BUT I WANTED TO DISGRACE GOLIATH COMPLETELY AND THAT WAS WHY I HAD TO USE THE SMALLEST KIND OF HUMAN TO FIGHT HIM.
A BOY WITHOUT ARMOUR, SWORD, SHIELD OR DAGGER. ALL HE CAME TO THE BATTLEFIELD WITH, WERE STONES AND A CATAPULT. DAVID DIDN'T HAVE TO SHOOT THE CATAPULT TWICE. ONE SHOT WAS ALL IT TOOK TO BRING THE GREAT IROKO TREE GIANT LANDING ON HIS FACE.
ALL GOLIATH'S FANS, WERE SHOCKED AND EMBARRASSED AT HOW CHEAPLY THEIR GREAT WARRIOR WAS DEFEATED.
THE BATTLE BETWEEN DAVID AND GOLIATH WAS A CONFIRMATION OF MY WORD. GOD HUMILIATES THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
"That's awesome daddy! I have never seen the battle between David and Goliath in this fashion. This is really deep!"
"Hello ma! Have you forgiven me? Please find a place in your heart to forgive me!"
"Haaaaaaaa! The girl is still apologizing. Let me stay enjoy your apology small!" I replied grinning.
"YOU BETTER TELL HER YOU HAVE FORGIVEN HER BEFORE I KNOCK YOUR HEAD!"
"Haaaa! Daddy na! Allow me to enjoy myself small!" I grinned sheepishly.
"Hello ma!"
"Yes I have forgiven you!"
"Thank you so much ma I really appreciate!"
"You're welcome."
"Now I would love to try one more time. I'm taking the phone to her. Whatever her reaction would be, I'm trusting God."
"No you don't need to. I Will Wait for 3 hours. Don't worry about taking the phone to her. I'll call back in 3 hours time."
"No ma! You said you were her mentor. That means she's supposed to stop whatever she's doing and attend to you. It's too late to stop. My mind is made up. Hold on for your caller," she said I went mute.
Daddy is this how you can raise up a humble person? If this is how you treat people that are humble, then I'm going to be humble for the rest of my life.
"SO YOU WERE PLANNING TO BE PROUD BEFORE?"
"No oooo! God forbid bad thing! Me, plan to be proud? God forbid! I'm a very humble girl! Can't you see how humble I am?" I asked grinning.
I could hear daddy laughing. Seriously, I was just enjoying the way I was teasing daddy.
I could hear them speaking, especially when the girl said it's your mentor ma. Kayla shouted at her telling her that she should have hurried up to give her the phone. I was just grinning sheepishly from my end.
The conversation went well it was a happy reunion for the two of us. And I was able to invite her for the meeting.
We all gathered later in mummy's house that evening. Segun was not able to be a part of the meeting because I deliberately made sure he wasn't. I was yet to give him the heartbreaking news. Ope, who was engaged to a popular pastor son, Joshua, was also present. I don't have time to mention names, but the meeting was fire.
My girls and all the invitees prayed like there was no tomorrow. I also made sure I kept my eyes on Romeo. He was also praying fervently and I didn't know why I was just smiling at him. I was glad he didn't see me smiling at him. In fact, each time our eyes met, I frowned at him.
This made him to keep his eyes off me and concentrate on the meeting.
Kayla ministered in songs and the whole place was set ablaze. There was screaming and crying everywhere. I was amazed when Romeo fell on the ground, praying in the Holy Ghost. It was a great revival.
I made Kayla come with a personal assistant. I wanted the girl to meet me in person. She was also during the meeting and fell under the power when I've begun to minister in the word. I spoke about the generation that seeks the face of God. And I saw a lot of them lamenting of how cold their spiritual altars have been.
Many of them who were on fire when they were teenagers, had abandoned their altars in the name of pursuing career.
God use that meeting to cause a revival amongst us all.
When the program ended we all sat down to discuss and get together.
Romeo excuse me, telling me he wanted to discuss something important with me. I quickly stood up and told him we could go outside the house, to somewhere more private.
We both stood up and waved bye to everyone.
"So Romeo! Can you tell me what is bothering you?"
"I don't know how to say it but it's been in my heart lately."
I was beginning to ask the Holy Ghost questions already. Was this proposal coming? The answer I got was no. Was he having another challenge with his spiritual life? The answer I got was also no. Then what could be the problem?
"WAIT FOR IT!"
"Okay sir!"
"I don't think I'm supposed to share something like this with you. It's kind of embarrassing."
"Romeo, feel free! You can always tell me anything. It will never make me look down on you."
He was silent for a while. He looked at me over and over without taking his gaze away. I felt like he was going to propose and excitement welled up in me.
"I have been in touch with Kayla for a long time. Right from our secondary school days, I have always admired her. All these years we have been in touch despite our busy lifestyle. Seeing her today revived all the feelings in the world I had for her.
As my mentor I decided to let you know that I want to propose to Kayla. Can I go ahead?"
Please I want to faint! Can someone show me where people usually faint, so I can lie down and faint?
To be Continued......
Romeo is about to propose. Can anyone give Juliet and advice. Is she to tell him not to propose, because she wants him to propose to her. Is she to command him to propose to her?
This is a very important topic in the body of Christ. I know many of us are aware that sometimes God can reveal your man to you, without your man knowing that both of you are to get married.
And at the end of the day, such a man ends up marrying another person. This is a shocking experience. You know God said he is yours and he ended up in the hands of another person.
What could be the reason? How can it be avoided?
We are going to learn a lot. Get ready for the next episode!
