The Power Above All Powers ( 3)

“HE had spent a fortune on his ill health but all was to no avail. He was on his sick bed for several months with no improvement. He was back to his shrine. He called on the gods to come to his rescue but it failed. He was definitely at the point of death and was seeing the ghost of death. He started crying and shedding painful tears. It got to a stage that he couldn’t walk again.

On a particular Wednesday morning as Ewenje was reeling in pains on his sick bed, a man of God suddenly came in to speak with him. The man of God, by name Pastor Araoluwa was clad in immaculate white suit and expensive white shoes to match.

“Praise be to God!” the man of God said and continued, “Ewenje, I have come to bail you out of your misery and pains only if you will confess your sins and believe in the Almighty God who has powers beyond human comprehension or understanding.”

“I’ll do whatever the Almighty God wants… please O saint of God… I don’t want to die… please…” Ewenje begged in sorrowful tears, “I have committed abominable sins and wickedness to mankind… don’t let God take my life now. I’m at the point of death… every day I live in pains and sorrow. My bucket of sins is full and pouring over. Just don’t let me die. The things I’ve done are terrible to recount. Countless numbers of people have died through me. Some have suffered terrible diseases and many had gone mad through the evil machination of my hands. But I can feel the ghost of death staring at me. I can see and feel the presence of a power far greater than my powers hovering above me.”
