" ONCE UPON A TIME "

" Heavenly Father! I am not understanding sir... How can this be my Nineveh? I have never met this man before! Jesus! Jesus! Evangelism to Ritualists is not part of the Job description you gave me sir...Jesus Christ! Please do not leave me ... No! It should be Father do not forsake me..." Pastor Greg was saying to himself
" Because of You, Nnamdi's Boss has been Kidnapped. He came out looking for you after you left in anger and pride: in the process he was kidnapped .That's him seated in front." The inner voice replied him
Pastor Greg stretched his neck to have a better look at the man sleeping in front.
It was the face of the man in the hospital ward...
" I wanted you to win his soul for me at the hospital, which would have been a very easy one for you, but since you always like to be bent before you do my will, you will have to win his soul for me in the Ritualist's den." The voice said angrily.
" Den ke? Ha! Baba ...I am sorry... ABBA don't leave me like this, don't deliver my soul as a prey into the teeth of the Lion." Pastor Greg pleaded but there was no more response...
" Father please!" Pastor Greg pleaded once more
He knew that Silent treatment he got from God whenever he allowed his pride bring out the worst in him. It was time he tried his human power...
" My brother, I am not one of those you can use ooo, If you take me to your den, I will spoil all your charm. Kindly just drop me here with the man seated in front..." Pastor Greg
" En En...Pastor is commanding me ooo, Listen Pastor, if your prayer could not stop you from entering my car, it can not stop me from taking you to where you will slaughtered and sold. With the anointing on your head, I will make more money. For me to have kidnapped you, it shows you have offended God somehow. Maybe you have been doing some bad stuff, Like sleeping with your heavy duty church members!" The driver mocked laughing out loud.
" No, I am a genuine servant of God, I only disobeyed God, that's why you were able to carry me...It doesn't mean God has left me. In fact, Let me shock you, it is possible God allowed you to carry me so I can destroy your ritualist's den. Mr man, for your own good, drop me off...with the man too!"
" Pastor! Go and sleep!" The driver said laughing...
" I will scream!"
" Please do and that will be your end. " the driver showed him a gun he hid under the chair...

" I want you to know that we can protect you if this uncle of yours wants you out of here against your will." The Doctor said to Rachel as she laid on the bed.
" He is my uncle and he wants to help me" Rachel repeated the words Harry had told her she was to say to any doctor.
" Are you sure?"
" Yes!"
" But do you think a priest can save you from suicidal thoughts?"
" Yes... I have offended someone so badly the person wants to destroy me. I believe she joined witchcraft to destroy me. I believe it is the Witchcraft spell that makes me have suicidal thoughts always. The priest is going to help me appeal to her and wash off the evil mark she has put on me"
" Can you use a dirty broom to sweep a dirty room?" The Doctor asked
Rachel didn't get the correlation of the broom with what was happening to her life...
*******
Kemi knew she had to stand up that moment...
" I really need to go now! I will come check on you later." Kemi dashed out of the room before Janet could stop her...
*******
Janet knew something was wrong with her, but she could not explain it. She was extremely hyper....
She immediately rushed after Kemi. She was going to follow her to wherever she was going for the whole day...
" Am I running mad?" Janet asked herself.
On stepping out of her room, She saw all the nurses sitting at the Nurses Station..
The other time, she had told them she wanted to stretch her legs; What would be her excuse this time around?
Janet walked to the Nurses station...
" Can we help you ma?"
" I feel out of breath in that room, I have a phobia for staying behind closed doors for a long period of time, so can I walk around more."
" You can walk around this corridor"
" I am sick of this floor, Can I look around other floors..."
The Nurses looked at each other...
" Ok, but a nurse will accompany you!" The Matron on duty said...
A Nurse was told to walk with her. Janet didn't care, she had a mission...
******
" We need to inform the doctor about the sudden behaviour!" The Matron said to the Nurse seated by her
" Yes Matron... I believe Doctor Mike will give her something to calm her nerves. I can tell that the death of her husband is beginning to get to her... This life is complex, how can a man just fall on his wedding day and die?" Nurse Ayo said
" I heard he was presenting a car gift to her when it happened." Nurse Nwoke said
" Yes ooo May we not experience evil on the day of our Joy in Jesus name..." Nurse Ayo replied
" Any date that has been marked for evil for us, the Lord will render that evil null and void over us but instead the intention of the wicked will return back on their heads in Jesus name..." the matron said
All the Nurses chorused Amen!
