TWIST OF FAITH

This was the night i let go all my years of purity

I never believed that one could be in sin and at the same time manifesting the unprecedented power of God

But it was all proven wrong the night I fell face flat to IMMORALITY

I was going to be the guest speaker in a Friday vigil in one of the Pentecostal ministries

My host had already informed the congregation that a powerful deliverance and prophetic man of God who had much fire to roast the devil was in town and was going to be hosted that Friday

I was not ignorant of what he could do, to a point that I became afraid for the unneeded praise-singing that was reigned on me both in my presence and absence

I was looking forward to this night and waiting with eagerness to have God use me to touch the lives of his people

My host had told his people to bring all manner of sicknesses and disease

Both those who were lame and afflicted in one way or the other

I was not afraid because I knew what God could use me to do

Much as I counted it upon my purity and dedication to holiness which I was very much afraid to loose by virtue of sin and IMMORALITY

I had all my life believed that once I had anything to do with sin, most especially sexual indulgence, the ANOINTING would disappear

I went to the mountain and did three days fasting and waiting upon the Lord to birth his power upon me and praying for the success of the meeting

On the third day which was the all night gathering, I descended the Mountain and locked myself in my room mediating and keeping tuned to the spirit before I depart to the meeting

Just then, I heard a knock on my door

I never knew Satan was preparing a cup of tea for me

I asked who was knocking and Betty, my fiancee called out that she was the one

"Betty? What is she doing here?" My mind muttered as I budged the door slightly

"Betty, what are you doing here? You never told me you were coming" I quarreled

"I wanted to give somebody a surprise visit" she said smiling

Her smile took me off and I glanced through her body

She was gorgeously dressed;

rocking on her body a fitted red gown - just the way I use to tell her that I would want her dress when we are married

She made new hairstyle and had a hand bag hanging on her left arm

She wore heels with a gold chain resting on her chest

Dear, you are staring at me. Can I come in please?

"Yes, yes, come in" i shrilled and said quickly

"Betty, you never told me you were coming" I brought the issue up again and she waved it

We began talking

For the first time I could feel my flesh burning with an intense desire and hunger for Betty

All the spiritual countenance and presence of God i had returned from the mountain with declined and was replaced with the admiration that stood out of me for my betrothed

We had been courting for a few months and had even gone for introduction

As the feelings grew more and more tensed, I quickly decided to leave before something should happen

I cut off the discussion and decided to go spend sometimes in my friend's place and allow her stay before the time of vigil

As I stood to go, Betty's face twisted and she threw a frown

"Dear, you did not even give me a side hug " she said

"Haa, I'm sorry. Oya come" I invited with no lustful intension, but never had I known that the invitation would become the gravest mistake of my life
