Wanted – 19
Part 19
Benita mounted the pulpit that Sunday morning.
“Somebody shout hallelujah.” She started worshipping…
“I know a God who’s merciful and kind, faithful and gracious. I’m the apple of his eyes; the thought that fills his heart every morning noon and night. He loved me when I didn’t care; was patient till I came running back into his arms. Look how he turned my life around, made me a shining star. His glory to reveal; I will worship him forever, love him forever because THIS GOD IS TOO GOOD O. Heeeeeeey ya ya ya ya; I call him God of wonders; the body that death could not hold. Jesssus; I call him the double edged sword. Jehovah overdo that can do and undo. Mountains melt at the mention of his name; ocean dries up at the sound of his voice. Impossibilities are made possible because he is God.”
Onishe iyanu. Alagbada ino. Kabiyesi. Okaka. Ome ihe ukwu. Ebube. Ekwueme. Somebody worrrship… ” She started speaking in tongues.
The whole church was on fire, power came down, and people saw God. The worship was beyond extraordinary. Benita titled her message DO YOU KNOW YOUR GOD.
She talked about Israel and the red sea; Esther, Mordecai and Haman; Elijah and the prophets of Baal.
Benita said, “We are mesmerized by the devil because we do not know our God and what he is capable of. They that know their God shall be strong. Christians, we are weak. Weak to pray, weak to do God’s will, weak to challenge God, weak to face the devil.”
“Brethren, demons are not soft; be strong. Listen…” She continued… “It is called HARDSHIP. ONLY HARD PEOPLE FACE IT, COUNTER IT, OVERCOME IT, AND SUBDUE IT. Child of God, be strong.” She started speaking in tongues. “Stop crying for the devil. OUR TEARS SHOW HIM OUR FEARS. IT MEANS WE ARE WEAK. Our tears are like fuel to his engine. It encourages him and makes him feel he can win. Be strong, and then see you do exploits.” She spoke in tongues. “See you say to that mountain, get out of here! See you say to that demon, get out!”
“Are there people I’m provoking spiritually, stand to your feet and say I KNOW MY GOD!!! I AM A WONDER, I KNOW MY GOD!!! I AM FOR EXPLOITS, I KNOW MY GOD!!!! I AM AN OVERCOMER!!! SOMEBODY SHOUT JESUS!!!….”
Then she began her story. People were moved to tears.
“Because I know my God, I refused rape stigma. I am pregnant as a result of the rape. It doesn’t change the way I feel about my God. My family rejected me, yet I follow this God because I know my God. Doctor says I was born with a perforated womb but I’m carrying twins because I know my God. THEY THAT KNOW THEIR GOD SHALL BE STRONG AND SHALL DO EXPLOITS. Receive power for exploits in Jesus name! You can’t do exploits when you say no to what the devil wants you to do. Pray for grace and for righteousness.”
Benita revived many souls that day. Many gave their lives to Christ. Power for exploits came down. Heaven shook the earth. It was a service people wouldn’t forget in a hurry.
THAT NIGHT AT HOME…
Pastor and Pastor Mrs. Kelvin came into Benita’s room.
“Benny,” Pastor Kelvin started “…God bless you for today. It was really great in His presence.”
Benita replied, “Thanks dad for giving me audience.”
Pastor Kelvin said, “You are welcome. Emmm, Benny, we want to ask for a favour from you.”
Benita replied, “Okay.”
Pastor Kelvin said, “Once you have the babies, we would like you to hand them over to us and move on with your life. Get married, have more children. We are willing to pay any amount. Please help us.”
Benita stared in shock.
