Episode 6
Mary continued “I’m not a preacher, but I still remember the last teaching I heard, so I would love to share it with you all”
They nodded in agreement.
“The topic says; ‘Don’t curse God’ We will be looking at the story of Job, who satan tested with the approval of God to see if he would curse Him. Job lost his sheep, servants, and ten children in a day.”
“Like seriously?”
“Yes. When Job heard the news, He tore his clothes and shaved his head in sorrow, yet he still praised God in his prayers.”
“Wow!”
“Satan was not contented with that. So, God gave him another opportunity to test Job. This time, he attacked him with terrible skin sores. His wife urged him to curse God and die, but Job refused, he endured the affliction with constant praises to God.
God was so proud of him, He restored his health, granted him double of the property he lost, gave him new children, with a remarkable long life”
“Wow” They showed excitement one of them broke down in tears. “I’ve cursed God severally.”
“Don’t cry, he’s a merciful God, please let us all praise him again”
They continued worshipping till their caregiver arrived popularly known as Joygiver.
“What is happening here?” She asked.
“We are thanking God because he will soon restore our health”
The caregiver laughed, “And who is deceiving you people”
“I’m not deceiving them, I’m telling them what God is capable of doing” Mary answered with full courage.
“Did you even ask some of them the numbers of years they have been here, leprosy is curable I know that, but it does not happen suddenly”
Mary felt bad, as the caregiver kept countering her faith in God.
The night of that same day, Mary saw her late father while she was asleep.
“Daddy”
“My daughter is been a very long time.”
“Yes Daddy, why did you live me so early?.”
“Your mother send me to this side of the world, she poisoned my food because of her new lover”
“What!, she lied to me”
“She has always been a liar my dear, but today is not for her. I came here to guide you. Tell me have you realized the purpose of God for your life?”
“Purpose? No Daddy”
“Mary every man on earth has a purpose, a reason for their existence, which has been given to them according to their strength and ability. Mary, you are called into the healing ministry, and your time is now”
“Healing Ministry??”
“Yes my daughter, have you ever heard of Kathryn Kuhlman, you are to work in her path. After today go and study her life, Mary, sickness will bow at the sound of your voice.”
“Daddy, how is this possible? Where will start from?”
“Start from where you are, you have over 10 leprosy patients lying close to you including yourself. Before I leave, a man has been assigned to work with you in line of destiny. He is to be your life partner, Is someone you know. But you have to pray for him so he will not miss his part.
Lastly, the only weapon you need is the full armor of God”
Mary Jumped up after his last statement. She looked around fearfully “So it was a dream. healing ministry??” she asked again and again.
*******************************************
Pastor Elijah was in his study room when his phone rang.
It was Rebecca’s Dad calling him
“Jesus!” He screamed
“Hello, Elijah come over to my house now!”
“Only God knows what this girl told her Dad.” He lamented.
Rebecca’s Dad was an Army officer and a real estate manager. He owned six estates in Benin city.
The soldier part of him feared Elijah a lot. He was almost pissing on his body when he saw some soldiers with frowning faces standing with him.
“Start frog jump from there” Rebecca’s Dad announced as he sighted Elijah
“I warned you not to ever toil with my daughter heart’s, didn’t I?
“You did sir” Elijah cried “I will not do that again sir.”
“Because you said you will not do that again once you get to 1000 you stop.” The other soldiers with him began counting numbers for Elijah.
“And now the Holy Spirit will be laughing at me” Elijah said in regret. At a point he thought of escaping but all entrances are guided.
Rebecca stepped in “Daddy forgive him please I still love him..”
