"ONCE UPON A TIME "

Evangelist Tobi was so happy about the new soul won. He was happy Silas had caught a big fish...
" Can you help me become a Christian and Know God better?" Redemption asked
" Yes, we can introduce you to Christianity.Fr
" Yes, that's why I went looking for you at the junction. Your voice wakes me up every morning."
" We do not own a Church, I am just an evangelist, but I will help you find a church close to your place, that will help you grow... Where do you live?"

The Police Officers got to Kennedy's house and met his absence. Kennedy had taken to his heels early that morning. He had a feeling something terrible was coming for him...
******
" Sir, the Chaffeur has absconded. His neighbours said they saw him leaving his house in a rush with an overnight bag."
" I told you he was in on the murder. How careless of you to have let him off so easily. Listen! You are not to treat this case until you find the Driver. There is definitely a lot to the death of the girl. "
" The preliminary result of the autopsy is out. It is suspected the deceased died of a heart attack!"
" Heart Attack? "
" Yes Sir!"
" She looks too young for that!" The top officer tackled
" Yes, but the heart condition could be hereditary."
" That's true, but notwithstanding

Kennedy sat on the field of the prayer camp. He had remembered the scripture about Balaam. It was stated that when Balaam wanted to hear from God he went to barren height ; a place of no distractions. Kennedy thought of no other place than the prayer camp...
" My father! I am here...I am here to hear what you have to say concerning the situation. You didn't just bring me into this story for nothing. It is obvious you want to do something in the lives of these people. Three souls were won last night and suddenly they are in Prison!"
A scripture dropped in his heart immediately...
"Paul after Encountering Christ had to stay in darkness for three days. Those three days, he learnt to concentrate on Christ. Could this situation be a period of God reaching out to them. If that Is the case, I will stay here till you get them out." Kennedy resolved in his heart.

" You can leave here Sir!" Pastor Greg said from behind the tree where he had been hiding.
" You? What are you doing here...Pastor, you are stretching your luck with me..." Kamal said angrily but Abena's hand on his shoulder restricted him from doing what he could have done.
" How can we leave here, we are the leaders of this evil place. We have trained people to be evil..."
" The same power you had to train them to be evil, you still have it to train them to be Good. The mad man of Gadarene was screaming in the cave and cutting himself, but after his encounter with Christ, he later used that same voice to go around the countries evangelizing" Pastor Greg said
" Teach us what we have to do!" Abena said
" First, you have to be good, before you can make them good but the truth is that of no man's strength can he become good and righteous. Our righteousness is in God through Christ. There is a good man you need in your life and his name is Jesus!"
" Father says Jesus is not real, He said the whites came up with the idea of a SAVIOUR to put the blacks under them!"
" No! That's a lie, Jesus is as real as your husband is to you... Why don't you ask that He reveals himself to you. "
" I can ask Him to reveal himself to me? " Abena asked
" Yes, but first you must be his friend. You must accept Him into your life as your Lord and saviour. That way He becomes the boss over your life." Pastor Greg said
" I must not lose my wife and my daughters over this!" Kamal said as those were the only people in his life...
" Jesus does not deduct good things from us, He only adds."
" We can try it ? Right?" Abena asked Kamal with pleading eyes.
Kamal nodded...
" How do we start?"
" First, you give your lives to Christ by saying these words after me" Pastor Greg said
" Ok!" They both agreed
" Heavenly Father of all creation, we come to you as sinners that needs redemption. We have decided to accept your free gift of salvation. We therefore accept Christ Jesus as our lord and personal saviour. Please Lord forgive us of all our sins and guide us in this new life we have chosen, in Jesus name we pray."
Kamal and Abena said the prayers.
Abena felt it strong in her heart that she had just connected to a strong force...
Kamal felt a surge of peace rushing at his heart...
But was this enough sign to encourage them, that Jesus could bring them and those they had influenced wrongly out of this life...
From somewhere in the dark, Gino watched all that had happened. He felt betrayed again. He thought the plague of betrayal was over for him after he became one of the people in this village, but here was Abena and Kamal about to betray him and everyone in the village.
He was going to raise a rebellion against these two, kill them and become the leader...
