Is your name in this Book of life
By Nathaniel bassey
**********************************
SON I have been hoping to hear from you ,please tell me you are doing alright"
Pastor Dotun spoke from the receiving end of the phone .
Jesse could tell from his excited voice that they had been anxious to hear from him
"I am fine Dad how is mummy"
" she is okay, your mother is always praying for you son"
Jesse gave a little smile knowing his mother well
" I was led to a community oppressed by a said god,they are really In need of Jesus,the journey had not been easy ,But Jehovah has promised to be with me till the end, his grace is sufficient already... Diverse testimonies I have experienced "
" praise God! Hallelujah to the most High ...can we be of any assistance "
" Actually yes,that's why I called,I need the prayer bands and crusade crew here with me"
" Jesse I see the hand God working massively in that community, I will send them right away to you just forward the location"
" Amen, I will Daddy and thank you for your prayers"
"Good son,hope you are finding the answers you seek"
" I stopped having those nightmares dad,I feel like I have been born anew, I am yet to understand the mystery of why God wanted me to leave south Africa and come down to Nigeria, But my purpose here is not in vain,God is working "
" you see son I told you it's not over until God says it himself that its over,you had always felt you were worthless just because you were picked from the slum and had failed academic wise,God is a respecter of nobody he looks not on our status or achievement but at the purity and sincerity of the heart,I hope to tell you someday why I had picked you that cold night"
Jesse could tell he was in tears
" Please don't cry Dad" Jesse said brokenly humbled to tears as he recounted his life ordeals
" I will send the crew,tell me how soon you need them in the location you will send"
" okay sir"
" watch and pray son,the devil is roaming around looking for who to prey on" those were the last words of pastor Dotun before he hanged up.
Jesse tossed his phone as he knelt down in prayer
" ohh Abba father ,let your will be done in This place
Bring an end to the gods and ancient spirits that oppresses this land...
" Pastor...pastor Jesse" he heard the call then the desperate knock at his door, he had to quickly round up the prayer going to open the door and was surprised to see Adanna younger sister .
" hey pastor my mother ohhh..."the young girl was panting heavily "Nnomma asked me to call you"
"Calm down ..what happened to your mother" Jesse asked now worried
"Please come ohh,she is dying ohh...hey"
"What?wait" he went inside and very swiftly carried his Bible and Anointing oil he then hurried down alongside to there compound, it was just a stone throw away from Nnomma fathers compound.
The sun was scorching hot but no one seems to care as they were all aggrieved at the sudden mystery that had befallen mama Adanna..
Jesse found mama Adanna lying on the lap of her daughter struggling with her breath liked she was been choked ,Nnomma was held her hand and was praying she stopped when she saw pastor Jesse
"A wind that carried dust blew around her and she suddenly collapsed to the ground" Nnomma explained.
"A wind..." Jesse paused in his sentence knowing it was an attack he anointed her head and begun speaking in aggressive tongue shocking and confusing the people.
"The blood of Jesus is against you,I set you loosed and free from the holds of Satan, darkness and light has nothing in common, she no longer belongs to you Satan,I arrest your powers ....
" Amen "The girls chorused ,the people gathered watched the scene ,most reluctantly shouted Amen curious to witness that said miracle they have always heard the pastor performing.
Suddenly Mama Adanna stopped struggling and laid limp and lifeless on the ground.
Heyy...the gods are angry with her, she has left us
Wailings and murmurings filled the air
This man is fake and will die like that other one
He had brought calamities upon us by misleading our people to a strange God
Remember the crippled man his god healed,or the twins of Adam that are still living
Jesse heard and saw the doubt etched on there faces ,this people needed more than hope to believe.
" mama...mama ohhh"Adanna cried out
"Ewoo pastor do something, I don't want my mother to die ohh" she wailed hitting her hand on the ground her sisters hugged her crying
"Have faith ,she is not Dead" He said trying to make them understand when mama Adanna opened her eyes and looked around her weakly.
"Mama" Cecelia shouted"Mama has opened her eyes"she said calling everyone attention
"Mama are you okay" pastor Jesse squatted beside her
"Yes pastor,I am fine now,thank you" she whispered in tears"I thought I will never live to see another hour"mama Adanna cried as her daughters hugged her too with tears of relief and joy.
"The word of God said that because he lives ,you live too,don't thank me ,live your life in Thanksgiving to God,only him is the resurrection and life,your freedom is permanent in Jesus name"Jesse replied them as they all gathered round him hugging him in gratitude
" you are indeed God sent"Nnomma replied him as she wiped her tears.
The people in the community joined the family to thank the God of the stranger it was a miracle that had never happened before in there land.
Many that day dedicated there life yo God denouncing oshimiri as their god putting Satan to shame.
"I will do more than this so that they would believe I Am Who I say I Am" Jesse heard God whispered to him it came as as swift as the breeze.
"Watch and pray ,for the devil is roaming around looking for who to prey on" he spoke of the same warning his father had told him earlier on the phone
"I see God working massively in this community, the battle is of the Lord" he prayed for them all present and went back home.
