THE JESUS SLAY QUEENS 2

Episode 25

I opened my eyes and discovered everywhere was getting bright. I was trying to believe this was reality and not a dream. I tried to sit up and discovered I could do that effortlessly. I was no longer heavy as I was last night. I could hear vehicles moving out, giving the confirmation that the day had broke. I mad to stand up and I did without breaking a sweat.

Wow! Thank God the entire process is over. It was almost as if I would never be free of the pain. It was as if I would never get rid of it. I moved towards the door and opened it in a jiffy. I felt different, but I needed to be sure I was still in the physical realm and not having a dream. I moved down the stairs and looked around.

My eyes met with the clock on the wall and it signified it was 15 minutes to 6am. That meant in 15 minutes time, the entire family would be downstairs for family devotion.

I quickly raced up the stairs and entered the room I shared with Susan. I met her awake, reading her bible.

"Juliet! Thank goodness you're okay!" She called as she stood up immediately I entered.

We hugged each other.

"Seriously you're such a drama queen," she said and I grinned.

"How are you feeling?"

"That's an interesting question. I feel.....I feel..... Hmmmmmmm I don't really know how to describe how I feel right now. But for now, let's go with I'm okay as my response."

She smiled and patted me on the shoulder.

"You should get ready! We would be downstairs anytime soon."

We were both interrupted by the sound of my ringing phone. Who would be calling me at this early hours of the morning.

I gave Susan that look of curiosity and she responded with the same look.

I walked up to where the phone was kept and picked it up to check the caller's ID. it was Segun's Dad.

Wow! What could be happening over there right now? Why the distress call?

I quickly swiped the green bar and placed the phone on my left ear.

"Hello! Good morning sir!" I greeted.

"Good morning Juliet! The young lady Apostle of our time!"

"Daddy, please! I'm only a small girl!"

"You better stop that rubbish and agree with reality. You're much more than you claim to be. What you did yesterday was out of this world!"

"Sir! It was the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our sight. As for me, I did nothing. For without him, I can do nothing. For in him we live, in him we breathe and have our being."

"Wow! A young girl loaded with a lot of scripture. God is definitely going to use you mightily! Such a humble girl!"

"Thank you sir!" I replied grinning.

"So I decided to call you to give you a report on how my first quiet time with the Lord went. I have never spent time with Jesus one on one and I have to admit it wasn't perfect. But I noticed I felt real, like real real. I don't know if I'm making sense, but I felt like he was really listening to me. I felt like I was talking to someone and he was replying me.

Because when I opened my bible and applied that reading pattern you taught me, I saw his response so clearly."

"Wow!"

"Juliet! Quiet time is really sweet! I never knew it was possible to find peace and joy in this troublesome world we live in."

I chuckled.

"Do you want to know what he told me this morning?"

"Sure I do! Please don't keep me waiting!"

"It was in Jeremiah 31:1. I read it the way you taught me to read the bible, so I was putting my name in the passage.

At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Adebayo, and they shall be my people.

Verse 2. Thus saith the LORD, The Adebayo which was left of the sword to be destroyed has found grace in the wilderness; even Adebayo, when I went to cause him to rest.

Verse 3. The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee Adebayo with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Verse 4. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Verse 5. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.

Verse 6. For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.

Verse 7. For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Adebayo, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save your Adebayo, the remnant of Israel.

And you know the most amazing part of that scripture that touched me?"

"No sir!"

It's verse 10. Hear the word of the LORD, O ye Adebayo, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Adebayo will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

Verse 11. For the LORD hath redeemed Adebayo, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he."

"Wow! Hallelujah!"

"Yes! It was so real! Like! I can't believe that God was speaking directly to me. I can't believe that the bible was that real.i was putting my name inside the pages I was seeing a perfect picture of myself and how God was telling me that he has rescued me. It was so awesome! I feel like reading my bible all day, but I have to go to work!"

"Yes!" I chuckled.

"This Jesus is so sweet. I want everyone around me to know about him too. I can't wait for Kayla to hear this. And the most amazing thing happened yesterday. Segun is also born again. He walked up to me and told me himself last night. He told me he has forgiven me from all my past misdeeds.

It looked like a dream. This Jesus is such a problem solver!"

"Indeed he is! I'm so happy for you!"

"Yes! And Juliet, there's something I want to tell you."

"I'm listening!"

"Can you come over to my place this evening? I need you to also minister to one of my friends. I can't wait for Jesus to turn his own sorrow into joy. I'm really enjoying Jesus here and I want him to have what I also have."

"Wow!

This man was seriously a man with speed. It wouldn't be shocking if God starts using him mightily tomorrow. He's really ready to spread the gospel just after one day of conversion.

Lord give me passion for souls. Give me hunger for souls.

"Are you there Miss Anderson?"

"Yes I am!"

"Please don't say no! I know it's too sudden, but this is a perfect opportunity I would not want to miss. I'll be inviting the guy to my place so it would be easy for you to get to him.

Please don't say no! I'm begging you!"

"Sir!"

"Yes Miss!"

"The problem is that you don't live around, so we had to spend our money on transport to get to where you live. And yesterday, I exhausted everything on me. I don't...."

"That's not an issue! Do you have a bank account?"

"Yes, but please, don't border!"

"Send me your account details! Please!"

"Sir! Don't worry, I'll give my Dad a call! Although it's not yet the end of the month, but if I explain myself very well as to how my upkeep money got exhausted, he'll send me something in a jiffy."

"I know, but give me the privilege of sowing into your life and ministry. You have been a blessing to me. I want to also be a blessing to you as well. Please, send me your account number!"

"Sir! Please, I don't have any ministry. I'm just a secondary school girl!"

"You're more than you think you are. I know God will use you tomorrow. Allow me to sow into your life so I can be blessed in return."

"But sir!"

"Miss Anderson!"

"Sir!"

"I'm an elderly person ooo! And I'm pleading with you to do something for me. Please honour me as an elder and grant my request!"

This man knew the right buttons to press. It would be disrespect on my part to hear an elderly person pleading with me and yet, turn him down.

"Okay sir! I will!"

"Thank you! Please do it right now! I'm waiting for it!"

"Okay sir!"

"So I'll be expecting you today, right?"

"Yes sir!"

"Yipeee!" He cheered like a kid.

I was just laughing at my end and ended the call. I quickly forwarded my account details to him and in one minute, a credit alert of 20,000 naira appeared on my screen.

"Haaaaaaaa! See this man ooo!"

"What?" Susan who had been listening to our conversation asked.

"20,000 naira for transportation! Who does that?"

"Jesus!" She answered.

"You don't mean it!"

My phone started ringing. Mr Adebayo was calling. I quickly took the call.

"Sir!"

"Hello! Have you seen it?"

"Sir! You sent me 20,000!"

"Yes! Is it too small?"

"Haaaaaaaa! Sir! It's too much na! How will you send me 20,000 naira for transport?"

"If you complain again I'll send another 20,000."

Susan was already laughing.

"Juliet! Please complain oooo. Na beta complain be that. The children of Israel complained in the bible, na snake bite them. You complain na 20k you go receive. Abeg complain oooo!"

"Haaaaaaaa! Sir! what so I do with the balance?"

"Miss Anderson, this is your last chance! Don't dare me this morning! I'm not joking when I said if you complained, I'll send another one. Don't try me this morning!"

"I'm sorry sir! I'm so grateful for your gift! God will reward you in Jesus name!"

"Amen!"

"Chai! Juliet! Complain na! Please complain!" Susan pleaded with a mischievous grin on her face.

I took the phone away from my mouth and whispered to her.

"You no get conscience!"

She burst into laughter.

"Juliet abeg, my account is also empty. If you complain now and another 20,000 land for your account, you go remember me in your kingdom."

"Get out of here jare!" I whispered and hit her on the back playfully.

"So I'll be looking forward to seeing you today! It would he an honour to have such a young minister in my humble abode."

Oh my goodness! Is this the man that Kayla was calling a beast? Wow! He's such a blessing! Satan is really a deceiver. Look at the treasure of a human being he hijacked and made a rapist. Such a man with a kind heart!

Chai! Satan! You're a thief! You really stole a lot from me. But thank God, for this reason the son of God was made manifest that he might destroy the works of the devil.

I will do more collateral damage. Just wait and see."

To be Continued....

One of the greatest gift I have seen God given to me in life is what I call the gift of men. Yes! People! They're not perfect, that true! They have ups and downs, no doubt. They can be terrible sometimes, make no mistake about that.

But people are a gift from God. There are people that have really being a blessing to me in their own little way.

Many of them came to me with challenges, but today God has taken glory out of their story. I was so glad I didn't leave them.

Sometimes, that uncle that you call a dragon, unreasonable and hot tampered, may be the saviour God will use for you tomorrow.

Humans are a gift from God. Love them, cherish them, pray for them.

By the way, you guys should tell Juliet to complain ooo!

Abi what so you think
