-We lost him.

-He sent that message two days ago. He also sent it to me.
-heeey!!! God!!! ooh God of mercy!!! arghhh!!!. REVEREND WILLIAMS ooooo. oh my God!!! (pastor Vincent lamented )
UD CALLED A MEETING OF ALL CHURCH EXECUTIVES.
-praise the Lord.
-hallelujah
HE STARTED CRYING.
-I can't believe it. I'm still shocked. My father in the Lord. The man who stood by me through thick and thin. This is so painful for me. I can't seem to get over it (he cried deeply ). I must make sure his death is properly investigated. I will spend my last kobo to bring the perpetrators of this wickedness to book. Even if it requires my life. I am taking the whole cost of the burial on me. You can still support with what you have. He left kids behind and they need to be cared for.
REVEREND WILLIAMS ASSISTANT WAS BOILING IN ANGER. PASTOR VINCENT INSTRUCTED HIM TO BE CALM. HE SHOULDN'T ACT. THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THIS MATTER.
EVERYONE SUPPORTED UD. THEY STARTED MAKING DONATIONS FOR THE BURIAL OF REVEREND WILLIAMS.
REVEREND WILLIAMS SISTER INLAW ARRIVED NIGERIA WITH HER FAMILY AND THE REVEREND 'S CHILDREN. SHE KEPT THE CHILDREN IN HER FAMILY HOUSE HER IN NIGERIA. IN THE TEXT MESSAGE SENT TO HER, REVEREND WILLIAMS TOLD HER TO WORK WITH PASTOR VINCENT AND HIS ASSISTANT, PASTOR UCHENDU. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE HE TRUSTS.
THE TRIO HAD A MEETING. REVEREND WILLIAMS SISTER IN-LAW TOLD THEM SHE IS AN INVESTIGATOR. THEY SHOULD USE THEIR OFFICE AS MINSTERS OF GOD AND PRAY FOR HER AS SHE STEPS INTO THE LIONS DEN WITH HER OWN PROFESSION. UD MUST BE BROUGHT TO BOOK.
PASTOR VINCENT REPLIED.
-God knows how to do things himself. UD's cup is full. God will bring him to judgement by himself. Mark my word, even without our sweat, God will fight this fight. REVEREND OLEMBE'S MESSAGE WAS TRUE. This should serve as big lesson to ministers of God and every child of God. We must not let material things blind our SPIRITUAL EYES and Destory our sense of SPIRITUAL REASONING.
CHIOMA, REVEREND WILLIAMS SISTER IN- LAW SWAM INTO ACTION. SHE VISITED UD IN HIS MANSION.
-good afternoon sir
-good afternoon pretty. Welcome to my little home.
-What??? you this edifice little? nooo, this is huge. Impressive, you are doing well for yourself.
-hahahaha, I thank the Lord who has crowned me with the riches of his glory. please make yourself comfortable. (she takes a seat) So, may I know you and why you came to see me?
-first of all, I must say I am wowed at your humility sir. The warm reception you accorded me is really AMAZING and to that I mustn't fail to say THANK YOU.
-you are welcome he smiled.
-Secondly, I know who you are. As in, the real you and I am one of your kind.
UD WAS SHOCKED .
-what do you mean by "The real me"
-Yea, the real you. You know what I mean. I know who you are. I have come for you to lecture me on how you balance both lives that people do not notice.
-I am a royal priesthood, a peculiar people, a chosen generation. I am a child of God.
-yes I know, in the church but outside the church, (she whispered ) you are a grand master. Don't worry, we are together. I am also a priestess and a deaconess in my church.
UD STOOD UP.
-you are a spy. I suspect you. You are looking for something.
-hahahahaha. spy? c'mon. My grand master. I have lots of Respect for you. The formula you're using is what I'm using. Give them what you have, that they want and take from them what they have that you want. The church is the best place to do "OUR BUSINESS " Haha, you know what I mean. There are bunch of frustrated fellows in church. I lay my eggs in their mist.
UD GRABBED A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY FROM HIS CUSHION.
-My case is different(he sipped ) I am on a revenge mission. They left my mother to die ERmysteriously in a very painful manner. My father is the great grand master. it's a long story. I will tell you everything.
UD OPENED UP TO CHIOMA. HE TOLD HER HOW HE HAS BEEN SACRIFICING FEMALE MEMBERS. HE TOLD HER ALOT AND TO WRAP IT UP HE SAID ...
-I just killed REVEREND WILLIAMS. I will give him a befitting burial and continue till I die.
-my grandmaster. I want you to lecture me on how to play both parts well.
-you don't need to be lectured. If you are on the same course with me, you should know what to do.(he sipped his drink and smiled at her)
-sure we are. That's why I came to you.
-Alright. Be what you have to be when the need arises. That's all.
-wow, thank you so much master. I should be on my way now.
-hahahaha, UD LAUGHED on your what? hahahaha, are you being serious ? (he became mean) how do you think, you can walk out that door alive with all you've just heard? Is it possible for mere mortals to deceive spirits? huh?? is it possible ? First of fall, hand me the recording.
CHIOMA WAS AFRAID BUT TRIED TO STAND HER GROUND.
-What are you talking about grand master. I don't know what you're saying. what recording? please are you ok?
UD SLAPPED HER.
-How dare you? you dare try to play smart with the omnismartest? I am spirit. I read you.
OUT OF ANNOYANCE, CHIOMA SLAPPED BACK.
-fool, get a grip of your blood thirsty soul. You must have succeeded in killing innocent souls, Today will be your end. In Jesus name, you shall be PULLED down.
-I knew it. You are not whom you are. UD REPLIED. I need your head and breast for the next sacrifice. Tonight, I shall feast on you.
HE GRABBED HER .
PASTOR VINCENT ENTERED. HE BURSTED IN TONGUES.
“Howyou are fallen from heaven,
OLucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart:
I will ascend into heaven, will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.
UD LEFT CHIOMA AND WALKED TOWARDS PASTOR VINCENT.
-what are you doing in my house? who let you in here? Get out. I said get out of my house.
-Your end has come UD. Today, the Lord God of host shall disgrace you and bring all your hidden secrets to light.
UD TRIED TO MAKE SOME INCARNATIONS, PASTOR VINCENT BURSTED IN TONGUES AND SHOUTED.
-I pin you to the earth in Jesus name. Job 5:12
"He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise". Roman's 8:19 "For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God" I paralyze your powers by the Power in the blood of Jesus christ.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ATMOSPHERE CHANGED. THERE WAS THIS PEPPERY AROMA PERCEIVED EVERYONE STARTED COUGHING. UD WAS LAUGHING. PASTOR VINCENT WAS COUGHING AND PLEADING THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST. MEMEBERS WERE PRAYING OUTSIDE HIS COMPOUND. IT WAS GREAT BATTLE. UD CALLED ON HIS FATHER, THERE WAS NO ANSWER, HE SLUMPED. CHIOMA CALLED IN THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY. UD DIED ON HIS WAY TO THE CELL.
ROMANS 8: 35 -39
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future nor any power neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord"
BRETHREN STAND FIRM. BE ALERT. LET US NOT BE CARRIED AWAY BY THE PLEASURES AND CARES OF THIS WORLD.
"YOU HAVE BEEN SO STORNG, YOU CANNOT BE WRONG FOR IN PAST, YOU HAVE OVERCOME, ON YOUR FACE THERE IS A LIGHT, THAT SHOWS YOU ARE A WINNER, YOU ARE GEM IN THIS LIFE, YOUR GLORY WILL SOON UNFOLD, YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO FAINT, IN THE THE PHASE OF THIS TRIAL, IT IS TIME TO STAND AND OVERCOME AGAIN....DON'T GIVE UP, IT'S NOT OVER, WHEN YOU GIVE UP, THEN IT'S OVER, HOLD ON TO THE LORD, AND TROUBLE NOT YOUR HEART, EVEN WHEN YOU FAINT, IT'S NOT OVER"(panam percy paul)
