As I stepped into the church today, all eyes turned towards my direction because of my nicely sown senator cloth that I wore.
I needn't to be told that I was just too hot today.
As I sat down on the chair where the usher directed me to sit, I heard the pastor telling everyone to move out for evangelism.
He told everyone to go and win souls for Christ.
Everybody including me went outside as we dispersed to different direction.
I sampled my big blue Bible as I walked from street to street looking for a wandering soul to capture for Christ.
It was as if everyone has deserted the streets because I couldn't find a single person to preach to... I sat down at one corner to rest a little before I continue my journey.
I was still sitting down when I lifted my head and sighted a man sitting down on the pavement down the street.
I thanked God for providing the soul as I walked briskly towards him to preach to him.
"Good morning brother...Can I have a moment with you?"
He just stared at me and nodded in affirmation.
"Wow...God bless you richly", I said.
I quickly opened my big Bible as I turned to the popular scripture (John 3 vs 16).
I spoke to him about the love of Jesus Christ towards mankind, how he died for us and rose again on the last day.
As I was preached to him, he just kept looking at me and smiling at random.
I didn't read meaning to what he was doing because I was so happy that I would win his soul.
After more than 40 minutes of preaching, he didn't utter a word or ask me questions.
" Brother....Jesus loves you and he wants you to accept him as his Lord and personal saviour", I kept preaching to him.
All these while,he kept looking at my trouser and smiling intermittently.
I was confused but I remembered the popular scripture ( Psalm 23). I was so bold that I didn't look at his body gestures.
After preaching to him, I closed my Bible as I asked him....
" Brother, have you given your life to Jesus Christ?
He just nodded again in affirmation.
Brother, "can I pray with you before I leave?"
He stretched forth his hand towards me as I held him and started praying for him.
I prayed for minutes with him. I was about to recite the "Lord's prayer" when I saw something awkward.
He was in chains!!
I didn't notice it when I started preaching to him at first because he was trying wrapper.
Immediately I saw the chain that was used to tie his legs, I tried to remove my hand but he gripped me firmly with one hand while he used the other hand to grip my Pimpim!!!
"Blood of Jesus Christ"...."Blood of Jesus Christ"..... Somebody should save me.
When I noticed that nobody was coming to my rescue....I changed to my dialect.
"Obara Jesus Christ" ....."Obara Jesus Christ"
The mad man just held my Pimpim firmly as he kept drawing it and licking his lips.
Two men rushed towards us but all they did was to hold my hand and drag me so as to pull me out from his grip!
The mad man held my Pimpim with two hands while the two men kept pulling me out.
I d.ied and resurrected .
I was about to give up a ghost because I was in pains but all of a sudden, he left my Pimpim to pick the #100 that fell out from my pocket.
I was freed from his grip.
Viam! They pulled me out from his grip. They told me how he has been a nuisance in the neighborhood.
Before they could finish their story, I left my Bible with them as I ran as much as my legs could carry me back to my house.
He who runs today, lives to fight another day!
