Judas in the church episode 21&22

Judas In The Church!

Episode 21.

It was a beautiful Sunday, and pastor Chris was beaming with smiles. He was on his well ironed blue double breasted suit and he looked smashing.

Pastor Douglas looked at him wondering what was it that was making him smile. He focused his gaze on him filled with anger and hatred for the young pastor.

Brother Chuks as usual took over the mic singing gloriously with all the sisters dancing and smiling and winking at him. Sister Gift who sat at the front of the church didn't seem comfortable at all. She was always scratching with style. And Brother Chuks was watching her with style while singing.

After the praise section, pastor Douglas took over the mic and addressed the church admonishing them to always love God and obey him. Then he announced to them that the special oil was still available and anyone who needed to buy should contact him directly. He went further to analyze the power in the oil. And how miracles will happen once they use it.

He knew that pastor Chris was against what he was saying but he didn't care, once in a while he stole a glance at him and saw him staring but he didn't care one bit. He continued talking about the oil and pastor Chris stood and went to stand by him to hand over the mic but still he ignored him and kept on talking about the oil.

Pastor King was in his office watching and hearing everything that was going on. He was surprised to see how much Douglas had changed. He was surprised how much the church had changed, he stood in his office and went on his knees praying for wisdom to handle things now that he was back.

Finally when Douglas had satisfied himself, he handed over the mic to Pastor Chris with a stern look and then went over to take his seat. The people shouted and screamed in excitement as Pastor Chris mounted the pulpit. When the congregation had calmed down he began.

''People of God praise the Lord. I am very happy today because today is a day of joy. For some time now a lot has been going on in church and so many of us have been asking questions, well today, I can gladly tell you that your questions will be answered. Stability will be restored to the church, honour and glory will be restored to the church to the glory of God and to the shame of the devil. There is someone in our midst today.''.

Douglas didn't understand what Pastor Chris was talking about and so when he heard there was someone in their midst, he started looking around wondering who might that be. Pastor Chris continued.....

'' I know we all will be excited to see this wonderful man of God. He is someone we all love and have missed and I'm very glad and happy that he is in our midst today.

Church of God with a standing ovation, help me welcome the man of God, our very own PASTOR KING.''

There was a loud shout and cry as the people stood up clapping their hands turning round and round looking for where Pastor King would be coming from. Even Douglas was shocked he stood up turning left and right trying to see if it was a dream or if it was real that Pastor King was back.

As they all wondered and watched, the office door flunged open and pastor King stepped out in grand style full of smiles. Pastor Douglas was shocked to see him. He kept on looking from Chris to King and suddenly guilt was written over him. He wished he never talked about the oil. He felt like he should disappear but then there was nothing for him to do.

Episode 22.

It was a glorious service as Pastor King ministered, lots of miracles were taking place, deliverance happened and the whole place was filled with the glory of God. At the end of the service so many people waited to see the man of God. Some for prayers and some to collect whatever it is he brought from the United States. It was a long hour of seeing and attending to people but eventually they were through.

Pastor King had asked Douglas to wait and see him after service and so during all the hours of meeting and attending to people, he waited. After everything, he eventually went inside to see the two men sitted opposite each other.

Douglas' face looked like that of a masquerade because it was obvious he was angry.

Pastor King: Brother Douglas my pastor, it is so good to see you.

Douglas frowned even more and one can easily see his anger.

'' why is your face like that?'' Pastor King asked.

Douglas: Pastor King honestly I'm not happy, I'm not happy at all. I'm been treated like a nobody in this church.

King: How do you mean by that?

Douglas: I mean how can you be returning from the US after almost 5months and I was not aware. Your pastor here (referring to pastor Chris) did not tell me anything, he kept it to himself, he is it to himself as if I am a wizard that will cause your plane to crash or what? I just don't understand, how he does things by himself. (Turning to Chris) , okay you want pastor to think of me as a bad person that's why you went alone to bring him from the airport na. You did not even mention it that pastor was coming how can your heart be so deep this man. See eh! Life is more than that let me just tell you. You can't spoil me before Pastor King, because he know me and now he has seen the kind of person that you are. (To Pastor King) that's how he is o, that's how he has been behaving since you travelled, doing things by himself, keeping things to himself, treating me as if am a nobody. Thank God you are back and you saw things by yourself. Thank God!

Pastor King: Ah! Brother Douglas, see all the plenty things you've being saying, why don't you calm down. I told Pastor Chris not to tell anyone that I was coming.

Douglas was shocked to hear this from Pastor King.

Douglas: including me?

Pastor King: Douglas, that is in the past. Let's move ahead.

Douglas dropped his head without saying a word. Pastor King continued.

''Douglas I heard you are talking about a special oil, I do not understand. Please can you explain to me what special oil, where it came from and why is it been sold in this church. ''

Douglas kept quiet without saying a word.

''Pastor Chris, what is going on?'' He asked again.

Pastor Chris: Honestly I don't know pastor. I came back and met pastor Douglas selling the oil, I tried to ask questions but he shunned me

Douglas quickly interrupted him.

Douglas: May the thunder of sango strike you there if you ever mention my name again. (Chris and King were shocked to hear him talk like that)

Pastor King: Brother Douglas, sango?

Douglas: pastor don't talk to me now I will talk to you another day. (He picked up his bag and Bible and turns to Chris) as you've turned yourself to an enemy, an enemy you will remain and the reward of an enemy will you see.

Pastor King: Brother Douglas, even in my presence?

Douglas: You have come I have become Brother Douglas right? Just because you have come back. No problem.

(He stormed out of the office with Pastor King looking at him, Pastor Chris just laid his head down shaking it slowly)

Pastor King: What just happened?

Pastor Chris: pastor thank God you are back, this is what I've been seeing since you travelled. Thank God you are here now to see by yourself.

Pastor King: How do I even start? Where do I even start from? This is gone very far beyond me.

Pastor Chris: my pastor, that is what I've been telling you.

Pastor King stood up pacing up and down in the office with Pastor Chris staring at him.
