PASTOR HELENA
Written by Nicholas Stephen
Episode 5
(She came to my room that evening)
“Victor, Victor..” she called my name. Meanwhile I was acting like I wasn’t hearing her. I just stood there observing her.
“Victor we need to pray before you sleep. I’m coming there just hold on don’t sleep yet.” She said, wrapped her body with the towel left the bathroom…
I collapsed on my bed and muttered to myself “how do I make this woman to fall for me or if possible to fall in love with me knowing fully well that she’s a pastor. Mehn! I so much admire this her exceptional beauty. Talk more of her curves, her breãsts and so on. So succulent….”
After a while she came knocked my door and I opened up. She then entered my room. She wore a very green light gown. “Victor I said something earlier before I left the bathroom, I don’t know if you heard what I said..” She muttered, holding her Bible and sitting on my bed.
“Ummm I heard you mentioned something about prayer.” I said to her while imagining the unimaginable, staring at her smooth skin from her chest down to her hips.
“Yes please go and call Ada for me so that she can be part of it.” She said.
I left the room, while she continued to flip through her Bible.
I saw Ada still playing in her room, then I carried her to the room.
“Alright so Ada close your eyes it’s time for praise and worship. Victor do likewise.” She muttered and they all closed their eyes excluding me.
She prayed for approximately 30minutes before they shed the grace. Then she instructed Ada to go to bed. Immediately she was about leaving I held her left hand and said to her.
“Ummm pastor. There’s something that I want to tell you…”
“Okay so go on I’m listening. What’s it about, feel free…” She said..
“Mehn what do I ask her now… Let me look for something eye catching to discuss with her. Mehn I so much admire this her beauty” I said to myself.
“Ummm Pastor you said back then when you hadn’t given your life to Christ, you said you did some awful things… Would you love to share.” I questioned her without letting go of her hand.
She sat down and said to me.
“Victor you know living an ungodly life is something that can take you away from God. Yes I did alot of awful things, back then I go to clubs, I drink, I was fornicating in short, all manner of hõrrible things before I had an encounter with God.
“Ummm please sorry for this my question. Why do many people always say that fornicating is a sïn. What’s wrõng for someone to have a partner that he or she is having a romantic relationship with?” I questioned her.
“Alright. Good question. Fornicating is a huge sin against God why? Let me use David as a scenario. You remember the lady that David slept with in the Bible?”
“Yes I remember.” I said drawing myself very close to her.
“Okay, do you know that God was very ãnnoyed with him.. After all the blessings God had gifted him, God was so annoyed with him to the extent that David started bêgging for forgiveness. Fornicating is a spirit and once the spirit is there, such person is already separated from Christ. Do you know what would’ve happened had it been Joseph slêpt with Potiphar’s wife?”
“Okay so it’s the sêx that’s the sin not the relationship. Isn’t it?” I said, and quickly placed my left hand on her shoulders.
“Victor this is hard for you to understand. And you can’t understand everything now no matter how hard I try. The only thing that God accepts is mãrriage. When you’re married, you can do whatever you want with your partner But those doing any other thing aside being married will definitely separate them from God. Fornicating is a huge sin.
“Okay pastor ummmm. Ummmmm what if.. Ummm what if…” I kept searching for the right word to use.
“Yes go on.. I’m all ears.” She muttered.
“Pastor Please I hope my questions are not going too far.. I hope you know what I mean” I said. I was already lost in thoughts. I was just thinking of weird ways to ask her the questions I had in mind.
“No no no it’s okay, as a true child of God learning never ends.” She said while looking at me.
“Ummm pastor but it’s not a wrong thing to admire someone either isn’t it?”
“Yeah sure, it’s normal to admire someone. You know we are humans and it’s the way we position, align… The way we maintain ourselves that matters. But as long as it doesn’t lead to fornication thenj there’s nothing wrõng with it.” She said.
“Okay pastor. What if I tell you I’m admiring you right now?”
