PART 17
"ONCE UPON A TIME"
©️Opeyemi Akintunde

Pastor Greg woke up from his brief sleep. He looked around at the cubicle he called a room. Despite the Grace he carried, his life was not reflecting it. He prayed for people and they always got their TESTIMONIES, but TESTIMONIES were alien to him.

His two thousand Naira phone Nnamdi had sold to him rang jolting him out of his thoughts. Even someone who he prayed for to get a job, miraculously got a job at a phone hub and part of the job benefit was receiving a brand new phone, Instead of giving him the phone as a way of appreciating him, he sold it to him instead....

Pastor Greg shook his head...

" Hello!" He said after picking up the call...

" Hello sir! It is me Nnamdi!" Nnamdi said

Exactly who he was thinking about!

" I hope he has not been fired and he is looking for someone who will pray for him" Pastor Greg said in his head

" Pastor, your prayers are about to be answered ooo, my boss needs a Pastor and my immediate boss asked me if I knew any pastor who could conduct deliverance, I knew there was no other person that you...Pastor, my boss at the top is very rich, I believe he will bless you and take you out of poverty, very soon you will start living on the Island and driving big cars like some of the pastors we see on TV, Pastor Greg, this is your season...." Nnamdi said in a rush

" Nnamdi, slow down...I had an all night prayer session, so I am still trying to wake my brain up...please help me by going straight to the point....My brain is not processing at the moment..."

" Pastor, Ok do me a favour...please come to our office this morning."

" I don't have transport fare!" Pastor Greg said.

He was tired of praying for people and he spending his money in the process...

" Pastor, I will send you airtime, sell it and use it to transport yourself down here!" Nnamdi said before hanging up.

Pastor Greg hissed and went back to bed...

*******
" What did he say?" Elder asked Nnamdi.

Elder had noticed his new staff Nnamdi was a Church boy; he was always playing gospel songs at work. After Boss Rogers had told him to look for a deliverance pastor, he thought to look towards Nnamdi for a Pastor.

" He will be here sir!" Nnamdi assured him.

Elder took his phone. He needed to update his Boss.

******
Rogers heard the vibration of his phone as it moved on the side table.

He didn't have a lot of friends. Ever since he pulled out of the confratenity, he tried to live a quiet life. Coupled with the death of five women attached to his name, he wasn't a popular person among people. Therefore, he knew the call had to be business related.

"Hello ! Elder...What's the emergency?" Rogers said

" I have found a Pastor who can do the deliverance for the girl!"

Sleep immediately disappeared from his eyes...

" Oh Really?"

" Yes, one of the staff here recommended a Pastor and he is on his way here."

" Ok.. I will be there..."

Rogers wanted to see to the freedom of the girl at any cost....That way he can be live in peace knowing he has rescued a life.

*******
Harry was driving towards the hospital, the priest had given him good news on waking up.

" But I thought you said she has bad luck? And the witches' hands are all over her!" Harry asked confused at the sudden change

" Yes! But the witches got back to me saying I could still make use of her, but as a living ritual"

" Living ritual?"

" She won't die, but her life will be as useless as a dead person. That way no one suspects you!"

" Oh great! So what's the next move?"

" Bring her here!"

" Ok...I am on my way to the hospital right away."

Harry had jumped into his car without taking his bath, he needed to whisk Rachel out of the hospital before the two intruders got there....

It was the battle of the fastest!

******
Kemisola walked into the hospital room, Rachel's bed was empty...

" Oh No!"

******
Pastor Greg kept turning on the bed, he had prayed breakthrough prayers all night, so he was not ready to spend his money on anyone ....

He dozed off, only to find his hand tied together in the Spiritual realm. He looked closely at the rope tying his hand, only to see that it was a rat that was used to tie his hands... He tried shaking off the rat but the rat was glued to his hand....

Pastor Greg snapped out of his trance...

" Jesus! What is this?"
