THE BATTLE LINE IS DRAWN

I rushed into the guest room and fell on my knees crying profusely like a little baby who has been orphaned

An idea dropped into my head and I rushed out into the bedroom where I quickly hung on my skin some shabby wears and left for my car.

Betty rushed after me to inquire where I was heading to in a hurry but I muted her off. My action made her a bit scared as she could not figure what I was up to.

I started the engine of my car and drove off.

Where was I going to?

I was heading to my spiritual father's house to explain to him what had befallen me, because I was too perplexed to handle it myself.

As I drove on, many thoughts flashed through my mind.

Never had I at any point imagine that I would impregnate a lady - such as Betty who all of a sudden turned into a beast I could not imagine.

I thought if my ministry and became scared for what would become my fate. Despite the angelic encounter, my flesh and mind hunted me, even much as things had turned bitter all but in the twinkling of an eye.

"Hey, hey hey! pee! pee!! pee!!" My car went off the road and was speeding fast into an uncompleted building, as cars and other vehicles maneuver to avoid a terrible collision with mine.

I strengthened my hands on the steering as I regained consciousness. After much efforts, the car stood just some centimeters away from coming against one of the pillars of the structure.

People rushed to the sight and helped me out of the car as my chest panted fast.

Some police officers joined in and quickly inspected me and the car, ensuring that I was well and stable.

"Oga, we will have to drive you home. it is obvious you are not okay." One of the officers said.

"No please officer. I need to be somewhere urgently and I can't cancel the appointment. My life is in danger!" I pleaded

Many who knew me and some who were members of my ministry had already gathered to the scene and were very much concerned about my well being.

"Man of God, your life is more at risk if we allow you drive now. please one of us will drive you home where you should rest and regain yourself before you may think of going out again.

Seeing the much concern, I gave in and was drove back home where I mate people already gather at the gate.

I quickly came out and addressed everyone ensuring them that I was healthy and strong. This I did in order not to have anybody meet Betty in the house acting like she was already married to me.

The officer drove in and she was shocked to see me been escorted back home by a police officer.

"Please he needs properly relaxation and rest before he does anything." The officer issued an instruction to Betty and left.

Betty came to give me a hand but I disallowed her and went in myself.

"Why are you doing this to me? you are not the woman I mate and trusted God to marry. Betty, you have changed! Why are you doing this to me? Do you want to destroy my life and ministry?" I questioned sadly.

"God forbid love, I want the best for ..."

"Will you shut up my friend! I almost lost my life just now because of what you have become." I said not allowing her to pause.

"By the way, you saw the officer that escorted me home. I have his contact and he is aware of what transpired on the road. If you don't leave my house right now, I'm going to call him for your arrest and inform him that you are the reason behind the incidence that almost claimed my life. I'm sure he would be glad to drag you behind the cell."

For the first time, I saw Betty trembled. Fear gripped her, most especially as she was not aware of what had happened.

She calmly and pitifully walked away into the room and quickly had her things arranged.

When she was done. She came to the sitting room where I lay enumerating and spoke to me;

"Babe, I don't care anymore. I'm in love with you now and ever and you are the man that would pay my bride price. My pregnancy test result is on the bed. You can have a look of it anytime suitable for you, but I would advice you to take things easy because Betty would make life unbearable for you if you don't play according to terms. There are many things behind the curtain you are not aware of. I am giving you space to think of how soon, we are making our wedding arrangements." She concluded and reached out her lips and kissed me, then went into the room and picked her bag off.

It was now clear to me that I was dealing with Lucifer himself beyond the Betty I had known.

I quickly picked my phone and dialed my spiritual father's number but he didn't pick. I decided to hit the road again to go see him.

The Lord had used him in my life on several account and I had confidence that he would guide me out of the mess I was bathing in.

When I drove to the house that morning, I mate him and his wife rocking in fancy uniform. The countenance of their faces was so bright that it brightened my own mood.

Seeing then, I could not resist smiling. I had never for once seen them in love that much.

I greeted them happily and told him that I was coming to see him.

"Oh my son, I and my wife reconciled yesterday and we planned going out today to spend time together to enable us bond better." he said and the two of them smiled broadly as I had to force mine.

"Can we make the meeting later in the evening today?" he asked and I was about obliging when the wife cut in;

"Darling can't you see? David is not happy. I can see worry in his eyes and it tells me that he needs our attention." The wife said as if speaking my mind.

"That is true!" My father said. I tried persuading them to go on with their date but they objected and the three of us went back into the sitting room for a talk.

I narrated everything that had happened to them and told them that I had also obtained an instruction from the Lord to put her away.

"Then what are you waiting for, when the Lord has already instructed you?" she asked.

"Mummy, daddy, she is already pregnant." I answered and the two of them shouted in disbelief.

"This is indeed complicated, none the less we must put our trust in the Lord and look onto him for his guidance." my father said

"David, you have made a lot of mistakes already but you must not concede your sins otherwise they would grow and multiply.

It is obvious the time has come for you to confess and be ready for all the consequences that would follow the pleasure you had with the enemy to entice your flesh.

"My husband committed adultery with his church worker few days ago which he told me you are aware. He kept the secret from me until the lady started threatening him and using the means to make money out of him. My husband was wise to let me know as a means of confessing his sins. I felt bitter and it hurt me to the marrow. It was as if I would never forgive him but I did and eventually we are better off fighting together than he standing alone. David, every secret sin has it penalty even when forgiven." She paused allowing my father to speak.

"My son, you have fought the good fight of faith all these years and it is obvious hell has come after you to waste you and your calling but victory is already yours."

I shouted a loud Amen

"Do not be afraid. You must be wise and more careful. I and my wife will go to the Lord in prayer for direction and invite you tomorrow to let you know the best steps to take on the issue. You must not learn to cover your sins as doing so would rather multiply them. Meanwhile I hope you have learned your mistakes just as I did mine?"

"Yes daddy!" I answered
