"Are you surprised?" He asked.
"Not really!" I answered with a bold face. My shock was completely visible earlier. It took grace to pull myself together.
"So why were you shocked when I told you I was going to propose to Kayla?"
"I wasn't actually shocked. I felt a lot of pity for you. When was the last time you observed your quiet time?"
He was speechless for a while, trying to scratch his head before answering.
"I believe that would be this morning."
"And how long did you spend in God's presence?"
"Well if I am to estimate, I think I would say 30 minutes."
"Romeo, you spent 30 minutes in God's presence! Can you hear yourself? You that can pray for hours without stopping. You that whenever you kneel down to pray, you get lost in the presence. Now you are spending 30 minutes in the presence of God and that 30 minutes was enough for God to reveal you your future partner."
"Actually, I have known that she was a long time ago. Show me wanting to settle down with her now it's just me discerning the time."
"Wow!" I said and clapped my hands.
"So, your spiritual life went down, but your ability to discern the times and seasons stayed with you, right?"
"I mean since I had already known all this while, I believe it's time to finally make the move, before someone faster than me takes her away."
"Oh! You're trying to ensure nobody snatches your girl away?"
"Juliet, I'm feeling embarrassed with the way this discussion is going. I'm only saying this with you so you can give me your blessing. Time waits for no man and every man must learn to be bold."
"But you are never bold enough to spend an hour in God's presence. You can be bold enough to take a very important life decision without consulting God for confirmations?"
"I already consulted with God a long time ago. As for my prayer life, I believe it's getting better and better everyday. I know I'm not perfect yet, but I am getting closer to it. It hasn't been easy for me to put myself together after realizing I just lost his soul to hell. It seriously broke me into pieces, but I thank god he's fixing me together.
And to be more honest with you, sometimes the devil made me feel you were the reason why it happened. But I always defended you in my heart, like a sister. I always silenced the voice of the devil trying to make me feel the blame. In the long run, I find myself struggling with a lot.
I'm so glad god is finally fixing me up. After gaining a level of peace in my heart and asking God questions, I got the nudging that it's time to ask Kayla the question of the century. I only said it will be so wrong for me to go ahead with such a decision and not carry you along. Since she's your daughter and we are both here spiritual offspring. It would be wrong to start something like this without informing you."
At this point, I realised I was the bad one and he was the good one. I was totally devastated. All the weapons I wanted to use to attacking has been nullified. I was so weak but everything in me didn't want him to go. I have treated him badly and said all manner of things against him. But he treated me with so much respect and undeserved love. This was truly the kind of man that a person like me needed. But it's so sad that he is going into the hands of another person.
Well, I'm not going to give up without a fight. I still have one more thing to do before giving him up.
"Romeo, before you take this decision I want you to pray about it first. I know you have your confirmations in the past, but presently, you need to ask God. Whatever you review to you he might still want to show you some more today. Remember, this is a popular music minister. I would never want her to fall into the hands of the wrong person. Because it would affect her ministry to the world.
So I need you to seriously pray about it and get confirmations."
"I already did. When the thoughts started coming often, I started taking it to God in prayer and meditations. I began to get all the answers in my spirit that she was the one. Also I had a dream that confirmed everything. In that dream, I saw myself with Kayla walking down the aisle. You also stood by as the chief bridesmaid. I was surprised you were the chief bridesmaid. I never expected you would assume that position. We started saying our vows before God at the altar. That was when I woke up.
And these days, I have been having the urge to hurry up about it. Of a truth, there is time for everything and every man must use that time judiciously. So I decided it's time to ask the question and inform you."
I was completely disarmed. I didn't know what else to do or say. It was obvious I have lost him and he was preparing to move on. But an idea came into my heart. If he was not going to bend, my next line of action would be getting Kayla to pray and fast about it.
"It's alright Romeo. You can go and make your intentions known to her. When do you plan on proposing?"
"Tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow?"
"Yes! I'll take her out and then after discussing with her, make my intentions known."
"That's a brilliant idea. I pray she accepts that proposal."
"She will! She better accept it or else I will just fall down and die," he said and started laughing. If only you knew girls are not smiling, he wouldn't crack that joke. But thank God for grace that made me laugh heartily.
I was just looking for a way to get to Kayla. I dismissed him, but remained outside thinking of what next to do. Kayla was my only line of action right now. I have to look for a way to prepare her. One of the ways I could do that for us to have a discussion with her. I need to call her aside and talk to her about accountability in relationship. I need to prepare her mind to be ready to carry me along if a proposal comes her way.
The truth about it is that Kayla and I have been far apart. Our communication has seriously been poor. That's the reason why I was surprised she had a personal assistant when I called. It's been a while since we spoke. I need to act fast! Where's Kayla?
"JULIET, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?"
"Daddy I was even waiting for you to speak. You told me this was my man and here you are, handing him over to another. It looks like my spiritual sight has glaucoma?"
"HERE'S MY ANSWER TO YOU. FOR GOD HUMILIATES THE PROUD BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE. SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND ITS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND EVERY OTHER THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU."
"Daddy! That is not the answer to my question."
"YOU CAN ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU WANT TO ASK. MY ANSWER REMAINS MY ANSWER. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHATEVER IS HAPPENING HERE YOU WILL SOON HAVE A CLEAR DESCRIPTION OF IT."
"Daddy you have still not answer my question. How can you say this is my husband and the woman is getting married to someone else? I asked you several times if he was the one and you gave me yes in capital letters. You even gave me his native name. I never knew his native name in the first place. It was you would told me. All of this made me completely certain that he was mine. But here you are doing something different.
I'm confused! I don't understand anything anymore."
"WHEN GOD TOLD ISRAEL THAT THE LAND OF CANAAN BELONG TO THEM, THEY SENT OUT 12 MEN TO SPY THE LAND. BY THE TIME THEY GOT TO THE LAND, THEY SAW GIANTS, MEN OF POWER, WALLED CITIES AND MANY OTHER TERRIFYING THINGS.
THE FACT THAT GOD POINTED AND SAID THIS THING BELONGS TO YOU DOES NOT MEAN YOU WON'T FIGHT FOR IT. THE FACT THAT GOD SAID CANAAN BELONGS TO YOU, DOESN'T MEAN YOU WON'T CONFRONT GIANTS THERE.
SO WHY HAVE YOU CHOSEN TO BECOME A BREAD AND BUTTER CHRISTIAN? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THERE'S ALWAYS WARFARE IN ATTAINING GOD'S PROMISES FOR YOUR LIFE? WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT IMMEDIATELY GOD SAYS, THIS IS YOURS, SATAN WILL NOT COME TO FIGHT IT?"
"So what am I going to do?"
"IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW THERE'S A WALL OF JERICHO CONFRONTING YOU. DO YOU NEED TO CONSULT WITH GOD TO KNOW HOW TO FIGHT IT AND BRING IT DOWN. IN THIS BATTLE I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN YOU THE FORMATION FOR WINNING IT. SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND EVERY OTHER THING SHALL BE ADDED TO YOU. THE SECOND TACTIC IS, GOD HUMBLES THE PROUD AND GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
APPLY THIS TO YOUR LIFE AND YOU'LL WIN THIS BATTLE. JULIET, SATAN KNOWS HOW MANY LIVES HE'LL BE ABLE TO CRUSH, IF HE CAN PUT YOU IN THE WRONG MARRIAGE. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS. FIGHT THIS FIGHT, FOLLOWING MY INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU'LL WIN."
"I think I understand where it's coming from. But still, I must get Kayla to be accountable. It's very important she learns to be accountable when taking decisions about her marital destiny. I need to tell her what mummy told me, so she doesn't go ahead to take decisions without getting me involved. That's the right thing to do. This would make me able to stop them both from getting into a relationship.
That's a brilliant idea."
I entered the house, only to find Romeo on his knees holding Kayla's hand and asking the question of the century. There was no ring presented and I believe I heard him telling me he wanted to propose tomorrow. Why was this guy moving so fast? This is serious!
No wonder mummy said whenever it comes to the issue of relationship, you'll find the most loyal of mentees becoming rebellious. Simple instructions they won't follow anymore. This speed was too much and it was seriously irritating.
"I know I'm supposed to do it in a grand style, but my love for you is overwhelming. If I wait till tomorrow, I will fall down and die," Romeo said.
I was already hissing in my heart.
"Kayla Adejumoke Adebayo! Will you marry me?"
"So even knows her native name? Me that is a mentor, I don't know she has a Yoruba name. This guy will answer a lot of questions after this proposal. By the way, Kayla would also have to pray about it so I don't believe she's going to give him yes.
"Yes! Yes I will marry you!" She screamed aloud and there was excitement in the air as everyone in the room cheered and applauded them.
Please I want to faint! Can someone show me where people usually faint, so I can lie down and faint?
To be Continued........
Please I need someone to console Juliet. Two rounds of fainting is too much. Yesterday she fainted and today she's fainting again.
When she fainted yesterday, you had no idea of how we had to rush her to the nearest hospital! All of you were busy laughing!
🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂
She never understood what God was telling her. God always has a strategy for warfare. Whenever you are confronted by specific battles, He'll reveal to you the strategy he wants to be applied in achieving victory.
Once you go out of track to win according to your own human understanding, it would look as if God is powerless.
There is a strategic way to solve the problem on ground, but her emotions will not allow her to follow what the Holy Ghost is saying.
Let's find out what happens next.
