IN THE HOUSE OF THE WORD, UNIDENTICAL TWINS WERE BORN. FAITH AND PATIENCE WHERE THEIR NAMES; BUT HOPE WAS AND IS THE FIRST NAME OF FAITH. THEY GREW STRONG IN THEIR ROLES. THEY WERE NOW ABOUT TO GO ONE OF THEIR MISSIONS IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN.

Hope: Patience please I need your help oo!

Patience: for what do you need my help, believer?

Hope: I cannot carry out this role on my own

Patience: aren't you the expectation of the righteous.

Hope: but you are the endurance of the righteous. Get over here and help me please!

Patience: for sure I will. But you have to grow up in this life.

Hope: The life I work in determine the stage I walk in. if I walk in a new believer, I have to take baby steps in most cases, but in a firebrand Christian, I escalate into full blown faith.

Patience: I get it already. Don't worry. I myself find work uneasy on my part.

Hope: How? Isn't all you do; wait! Wait! Wait! , till brother change come.

Patience: You know he goes by many names; testimony, answers, result, reward, expected end. Even by many phrases. By the way my work and waiting assignment is full plate.

Hope: How do you mean?

Patience: It is tedious. Many drop me after a week, a month, a year or more. They drop me too close to their answers. Making some of my missions fail. I cry at times you know.

Hope: Same for me. They lose me.

Patience: I know! Because we walk together. Just before Brother Change comes, they pick up regrettable choices.

Hope: and you know that you have to be there before Brother Change can come if not the journey of the testimony man is aborted.

Patience: hmmn….. (Sighs)...Well, work goes on.

Hope: Our enemies, temptation gang and trial brothers keep us on our toes.

Patience: Trial Brothers test my patience so hard.

Hope: aaaaah (laughs).

Patience: but my strength is dependent on the Word through the person who holds me.

Hope: (speaks sorrowfully) Many that loose me, die in Mr. Depression's hands. Those that are about to let go of me, still suffer in Mr. Depression's hands. (With a frown) My Archenemy!

Patience :( In sympathy) I feel your pain too. Your heart is so tender yet so strong. That joy stealer, so annoying.

Hope: I want to be strong against that depression. Christians wake up! Use me well against Mr. Depression. I just wish many of them would. (Looks up).

AS THEY WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE TO STEP INTO THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN FROM THE WORD SCENCE. A CALM FELLOW SAID.

Peace: Brethren go in peace! Don't be unstable in the believer's heart.

Hope: Yes Sir Shalom! The believer still decides.

Patience: He or She always has a choice in their hearts stability.

AS THEY WERE ABOUT TO STEP INTO THE BELIEVER'S HEART WAY TO CARRY OUT THEIR WORK, AN ARCHENEMY CAME BY!

Mr. Depression: Ah! Ah! Ah!

Hope: Haggard and dressed in the best rags as usual.

Mr. Depression: This is my fashion taste, proudly designed by my dear friend Sorrow. How about you, always putting on that simple and basic look. Ah (laughs).

Hope: You know how drastically I transform in a true believer's life. Go read the scriptures and good books. It seems like you need a reading plan re-construction.

Patience: Enough! (Said firmly) though Hope you are right.

Hope: (stands boldly).

Patience: We don't have time to waste. The particular Revelation of the Word has gone forth and we must move too.

Hope: You are so right.

Mr. Depression: You think we don't have our plans. Ah! Ah! (Sinister laughs).

Patience: Hope, Ignore that soul down caster. Let's go! Forget his laughs, deep down he is full of grief.

HOPE AND PATIENCE HURRIED INTO THE BELIEVERS HEART WORKSPACE (HW), ONLY TO SEE SIN , THE TRIAL BROTHERS AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE TEMPTATION GANG IN THE BELIEVER'S HEART.

Sin: Surprised!

Hope: No! Determined to see your end.

Patience: I admit I was a little surprised.

Sin: Seems like the righteous fellow you both came to help employed you too late. (Chuckles from the gang behind).

Hope: It is never too late for God to help

Sin: but this believer has made it late for you to come in. Oops!

Particular Revelation (P-REV): The believer you speak of has caught me and Mercy has found him.

Mercy: (affirming) indeed he has Hope.

Hope: (smiled)

Sin: Where are you all just popping from? I have sealed the work with my gang and brother.

Mercy: NO! (Thundering voice).

Hope: (glowing) Yes! I believe! Mercy says NO

Mercy: God is not through with him

Patience: He has not given up on His child.

P-REV: Before I walk you and your gang out, leave this heart this instant.

Patience: (putting up a bold front). Don't make me lose my patience!

Hope: (laughs by reason of Patience words).

P-REV: (glowing intensely) I drive thee O Sin and thy group with these FIRE WORDS. (fire spewing out of his mouth)." Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? (thundering and lightning) "But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered (fire and thunder sounds). "for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. (intense atmosphere)

Hope: Patience, see the fire from P-REV's mouth.

Patience: Sin waileth

Hope: (laughs).

Mr. Depression: (just walking in) (speaking sarcastically) I warned you Hope and Patience but you didn't..... (fire caught up with him).

Hope: (laughs)

Patience: Do not speak too soon Mr. Depression; fire is burning here (smiled).

Hope: I know the fire words; it is the forty ninth chapter of the book of Isaiah, verses twenty four to twenty six.

Patience: Particularly King James Version.

Hope: (Smiling) that's right.

AS THE FIRE WORDS FROM P-REV's MOUTH SCOURGED SIN, TRIAL BROTHERS, THE REPRESENTATIVE OF TEMPTATION GANG AND MR. DEPRESSION, THEY RAN FAST (WITH SCARS OF THEIR EXPERIENCE TO TELL) OUT OF THE HEART OF THE BELIEVER. P-REV BREATHED HEAVILY AND SPOKE.

P-REV: (looking around the Heart Workspace- HW) This Christian must keep feeding on the WORD OF GOD because those destructive fellows have not given up yet.

Hope: hmmm…

Patience: that's deep.

P-REV: (about to give Hope some instructions) Hope, (in amazement) Wow!!!

(Hope was now transforming fully into Faith in the believer's heart with an evidential brilliance.)

Patience: (talking to P-REV) that is how he transforms when the believer shifts in level of spiritual victory and maturity. I was not surprised when he glowed also because he glows when faith rises in him-his inner self.

P-REV: That's why faith is the matured Hope, the substance of Hope and the progressive growth of Hope in a Christian's life!

Patience: You are so right Sir.

HOPE BECAME CLOTHED IN ARMOUR (WARFARE APPAREL) WITH A SHIELD HAVING A CROSS IN PRINT ON THE SURFACE. HOPE BECAME FAITH. MERCY STANDS QUIET, GRACEFULLY IN THE HW.

P-REV: Faith and Patience.

Faith and Patience: Yes Sir!

P-REV: We have work to do.

Faith and Patience: Ok Sir!

 P-REV: Patience, keep the believer's heart in check while we wait for Testimony Man. He is on his way.

Patience: Yes Sir!

Faith: I prefer to call him Brother Change though. (jokes) Brother Patience wait till Brother Change come. (laughs)

Patience: (jokes also) Brother Hope or should I say Brother Growing Hope, I think Brother Faith is better (laughs) look up, don't look down in life (extreme laughter).

P-REV: Enough joking around. Faith, keep this believer's heart away from doubt and depression as we await his testimony. They are watching closely so that they can attack his heart and make him lose his arriving testimony.

Faith: Yes Sir!

P-REV: I reside here as he builds on me. I just pray the believer never stops gaining other revelations from the Word.

Faith: How many are You?

P-REV: We are different Lights and Revelations with numerous numbers and categories. From thousands, to millions and then uncountable in the WORD OF GOD.

Patience: How is that Possible?

P-REV: You can never see all revelations from the WORD OF GOD. The Word never runs out of new light. It is still a mystery to me.

Faith: hmmn... (ponders)

Patience: that's deep

Faith: (laughs at Patience)

(P-REV and Patience joins in).

AFTER A WEEK, TESTIMONY CAME ALONG WITH JOY; THE BELIEVER DIDN'T LOSE FAITH AND PATIENCE. (Faith hears footsteps on the heart way)

Faith: Who is there? (asking boldly).

Patience: You take this duty as serious as I do right or more. (with a teasing smile)

Faith: Don't tease me. I am sure I am hearing footsteps.

Brother change: (approaching the HW entrance) It is I, Testimony or Brother Change whichever way you call me.

Joy: la… la...la... (making melody as she approaches the HW entrance also)

Faith: I know those voices anywhere in the world… (excited)

Patience: Joy! Testimony Man! (leaping excitedly and hugging them as they entered the HW).

Faith: (giving them a hug also after patience) Joy, your melodies announce you anywhere anytime.

Joy: Yes that's me oo

Patience: Testimony, you always come with bags of goodwill to does who keep the Faith

Faith: …and keep the Patience. We are even now (laughs).

Patience: I see… (funny smile)

Faith: Wow! Our waiting is over.

Patience: I could wait longer, but this is also good.

Joy: No waiting is in vain! No consistency of Faith and Patience is in vain my brother.

Testimony: I just wish believers will know that I am on my way. I have turned back from my journey on many accounts because of the work of Impatience in many believers. Impatience annoys me as he annoys brother Patience here.

Patience: I don't want to spoil my joyous mood thinking about my opposite.

Faith: He is your opposite in everything

Patience: True.

(A few seconds silence)

Faith: Anyways. I also wish believers know that my Brother Patience here (patting Patience gently) is very key in getting their answers even you, Joy.

Patience: (talking to Faith smiling) and you also know that Testimony must meet you vibrant in their hearts.

Faith (turns to Joy) Joy, where is Praise?

Joy: I could have come with Praise before Brother Change, but is seems this believer is yet to fully know our roles and importance in Christianity. Nevertheless, we did some work from the Word for him.

Testimony: You know that Joy comes with me on most cases especially when she hasn't gone ahead of me.

Joy: Yes! that's what siblings are for.

(Joy and Testimony laughs).

Faith: Still curious though, Brother Change, how did you and Joy find us. How did you know we were here?

Brother Change: I have CC TV cameras in every believer's heart and a tracking device by authorization on you and Patience. To know if the believer was patient and still had Faith in his/her heart as I came.

Patience: Because when the believer lacks Faith and has given up on God. Testimony Man's journey is…

Faith: aborted. I know… I know (laughs).

FAITH NARRATED TO JOY AND TESTIMONY MAN, THE INCIDENCE OF VICTORY THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE BELIEVER'S HEART.

Joy: All glory to God, for this believer gained victory in this phase of his life. ( she dances )

Faith: God never fails

P-REV: (waking up from sleep) Yes.., Yes…. Yes… sleeps back.

Mercy: (speaks after a long silence) other revelations are now coming in and residing in this heart.

Joy: that's good news.(turns to talk with Testimony and Patience).

Mercy: (puts down a seed in the heart)

Faith: (seeing him) What's that Sir?

Mercy: It is a seed of mercy. I must plant this in the believer's heart. (he planted it)

Faith: Mercy grows?

Mercy: (announcing loudly to Patience, Joy, Testimony and even faith beside him) Make sure you all remember to plant your seeds. Joy and Testimony know what I'm talking about (smiles). (looks at Faith) don't worry, they will teach you and Patience .

Faith : (still waiting for an answer to his question)

Mercy: Faith grows (mercy pats Faith on his shoulder). I have to go, see you all soon.( smiles and leaves the HW).

Faith: (nods in clarity).

PATIENCE, JOY AND TESTIMONY TALKS AT THE BACKGROUND. FAITH JOINS THEM, P-REV AND OTHER REVELATIONS REST IN THE BELIEVER'S HEART.
