Favour splashed some water on her face on getting to her room...
“ Favour, What are you doing?” Favour asked herself
“ Get a grip on yourself, don’t let the devil get at you... Favour, I know you need a man and you feel lonely most times, but stop it... Stop it!” Favour burst into tears...
“ God, I get lonely at times, forget the bold face I put out there, but I need a man... Chuks is not available, he has a wife, though no one knows where she is... God, I am lonely...!”
“ You don’t need a man, but if you insist on having a man, I will give you!” the voice replied
“ Thank you! God, Give me a man... I don’t even mind someone like Akanbi who has lost his wife. I will help him grow Spiritually!”
The voice went silent...
“ You are not saying anything Lord!” Favour noticed
Favour laid on her bed and slept off...
*******
Mercy woke up sweating profusely ...
“Are you okay?” Kenneth asked..
“ Mum! I saw a man cutting her head off!” Mercy said
“ It’s Okay.. calm down. Let’s pray about it. She will not lose her life!” Kenneth assured Mercy...
“ Let me tell her the dream!”
“ Not now! Let’s pray about it first and when it’s morning we can go over to the Lighthouse!”
Mercy and Kenneth got on their knees and prayed for Favour...
*******
Shola was packing his bag. He wanted to leave the hotel very early...
“ You can’t go..!” He heard the intentional voice
“ I am not needed here!” Shola replied
“ She needs you... they need you!”
SHOLA sat back on the bed, not knowing what he ought to do...
“ God, what do you want me to do, they don’t want me around! “
“ But, I want you around! “
SHOLA sighed
“ So what do you want me to do?” He asked again..
**********
Favour was so excited to start her mentoring program with Akanbi. For the first time in years, she made deliberate effort to style her hair and she wore a dress really fashionable. Favour could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit standing beside her not approving what she was doing...
“ I have a feeling you don’t approve what I am doing but I know you won’t let me fall, so I just want to have some fun!” Favour said giggling...
Tina walked in on her applying a lipgloss on her lips.
“ Where to? Are you having a date I don’t know about?”
“ No date! Just starting my mentoring program with Akanbi...” Favour said
“ Akanbi?” Tina could not hide her surprise...
“ Don’t have wrong ideas...”
“ What other ideas am I suppose to have? Incase I am missing something, please let me know... You are all dressed up to have a Spiritual time with Akanbi. What idea should that give me?”
“ The idea that I want Akanbi to know that the fact that we are Christians does not make us trashy. I want to look good...”
“ For him? Favour! What’s wrong? I think something is wrong, This man has not spent days here or even a week and he is already having this effect on you... I was the one who brought up Akanbi Damino’s case up. I know him very well... Our target were his sons. We wanted to reach out to his sons , because of the large social media following they had amongst youths and teens... So why this effort to look beautiful for him? Do soldiers wear make up or fancy clothes to the battle ground?” Tina said
“ I....!” Favour couldn’t find the right words. She felt like Tina had poured a glass of chilled water on her...
Like a boss, Tina walked towards her dressing table, took some of Favour’s facial wipes and placed it in Favour’s palm.
“ Do the right thing!” She said
Like a robot, Favour wiped her face clean!
“Thank you!” She said hugging Tina.
Followed was a breakdown, Tina understood...
“Favour, I understand what is happening, I know we haven’t spoken about this, but I know we both feel lonely at times. I know this work of ministering to these young ones may cloud us at times and that makes people have the feeling that we don’t have issues... I long for a partner as much as I know you yearn for one as well, but don’t let us rush into error...” Tina said
“ Having a relationship with Akanbi now without him becoming genuinely saved will be a great error in your life.” Tina continued
“ I know!” Favour said in tears
“ Favour, we will be fine, And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not....Favour you have come too far with God to let a diabolical man sweep you off your feet... At the end of the day, no matter how anointed we are, we must remember that we are humans who have feelings and emotions. And let me tell you this, FEELINGS ARE VISITORS, THEY COME & GO... What you are feeling for Akanbi Is a visiting feeling... Tell it, this is the time to leave...” Tina said holding Favour’s face between her hands
“ Thank you Sis!” Favour said feeling very relieved...
********
SHOLA stood up from the floor where he had laid praying. He felt a relief in his Spirit. His prayer had been very simple....
“ Lord, help your daughter not to be destroyed by the person she ought to deliver in Jesus name and Lord, help Akanbi not to be pushed into error with the one you have sent to deliver him in Jesus name....”
SHOLA had prayed the prayer for close to two hours as the Lord had sat him down to explain the true picture to him...
TWO HOURS EARLIER!
“ So what do you want me to do?” He asked again..
“ SHOLA can’t you see what is happening?” The voice kept nudging him.
“ No!”
“ The devil is after both of them. This has been the case of many of my children... I send my children to Male and Female deliverers but when they get there, the devil deceives them into sleeping with each other...Consequently, the devil destroys both the deliverer and the one to be delivered!”
“ Oh! Is that why a lot of pastors sleep with their members?” SHOLA asked
“ Exactly... the plan of the devil is to rob the person of his deliverance.”
“ My God!”
It was this realization that made SHOLA fall to the ground to pray for both of them...
**********
PRESENT TIME....
“ Thank you Jesus! So what next ?” SHOLA asked after having the relief to get up from the ground...

Akanbi was in clouds nine, his heart was racing really fast like a dog on heat... He wanted to desperately sweet talk Favour and in few days get her down on the bed and get what he wanted from her...
“ Here he comes!” Shally said to Joy
Akanbi saw the piercing eyes of the girls. He wanted to discard them. He wasn’t at the Lighthouse for games...
“ Hey Ladies! I am sorry about Last Night, there was a bit of distraction...”
“ Distraction... You mean to say your net caught your fish!” Joy said sarcastically
Akanbi pretended to look ignorant...
“ What does that mean?”
“ Stop pretending ! We know about Favour... We know you want to sleep with her...” Joy said bluntly
Akanbi felt naked...
“ SHOLA told you this,I am going to kill this boy!” Akanbi said angrily
“ SHOLA? Who is that?”
“ My PA, the one I dismissed!”
“ Oh He! Never mind , he is not our concern.. She is our concern. Are you ready to play ball with us or else we truncate your plans...!” Joy said
“ Speak on !” Akanbi said
“ Favour has offended us , in her past she has killed someone very dear to us, and it is time to revenge!” Joy lied
“ So you want to kill her?”
“ Not really! We just want her to lose her Spiritual power and our research has revealed to us that you are after her Spiritual power. That shows we have the same enemy and same motive. We want the power out of her, you want the power in you! So You help us and we let you do your job .”
“ And if I am not interested in whatever it is you are offering, what happens?”
“ We truncate your plans and don’t even think of trying some of your baby powers on us! We are not babies!”
“ What do you want me to do?”
“ We have a virus we need to transfer into her and it can only be transferred through sex, so all you need to do is sleep with her and transfer the virus into her...”
“ What about me?”
“ We will take out the virus once you are through!” Joy said
Akanbi smiled and walked away from them...
“They think I am a child” he chuckled
He walked towards Favour’s office...He met Tina at the door and he asked to see Favour...
“ You need to hold on Sir!”
Akanbi’s ego hit the rocks when Joy walked up to Tina...
“ Good Morning ma’am, I will like to see Madam Favour, I had a terrible dream about her.!”
“ Really? What was the dream about?” Tina replied
Joy looked towards Akanbi indicating that she wasn't comfortable divulging her dream before him. Tina understood Joy's language, she nodded and pulled Joy aside..
“Tell me the dream"
"Hmmmm, Ma I take my dream seriously because whenever I dream it comes to pass. Overnight I saw Madam Favour sitting at a dinner table with a man, the man looked like a very rich man. Madam Favour seemed carried away... Suddenly, I noticed the man had a knife under the table and before Miss Favour could say anything he stabbed her right in front of everyone and cut off her head. That was my dream, so I don't know if Madam Favour has a husband or Fiance. Is she planning to date somebody? if she is, Ma tell her to be very careful of any rich man coming close to her, thank you ma" Joy said.
"Oh Wow!!" Tina said.
"Is there a problem ma?" Joy asked looking very innocent.
"Not really but I think you need to tell Madam Favour this dream personally, come with me" Tina said and pulled Joy with her.
Akanbi sat looking at both of them from afar, he knew something was off, something must have gone wrong. He watched with keen interest and utmost shock as Tina took Joy into Favour's office.
“Excuse me madam, I think I was here earlier than her. Why is she going in before me?" Akanbi said to Tina
“ I'm sorry Mr Akanbi but what she's here to tell Mrs favour is very important. She had a revelation that is very important and Mrs Favour doesn't joke with revelations, I promise you immediately after her, you will see Mrs favour".
As Joy walked in after Tina, she winked at Mr Akanbi. Akanbi understood the meaning of that wink, It meant its either you join us or we truncate your plans. Akanbi sat down wanting to see the end of the whole thing.
Akanbi's wait felt very endless to him. He kept wondering what Joy was doing indoors.
Finally she walked out and again she gave him another wink to indicate she had done her job.
Tina and Favour stayed in the office for another 10 minutes before Tina eventually stepped out
"Mr Akanbi you can come in now" Tina said.
Akanbi stood and walked into Favour's office .
"Mr Akanbi Good morning sir. How are you doing? Please have your seat.
So let's get it straight, you came here because you said the Lord directed you to the Lighthouse and that you are in search of spiritual power. I'll be very straight forward with you, I have no spiritual power other than the power in the name of Jesus and the power is in levels which means that the moment you give your life to Christ, the moment you get born again you have a certain level of spiritual power but what helps you grow is your tenacity, your relationship and your communication level with God. The more you draw near to God the more He draws near to you. The more you plug yourself into the socket of God’s fellowship, the more spiritual power you will gain.
The reason you are to stay here for a month is to inculcate in you a lifestyle or give you a foundation of the kind of life you have to start living from now, it's more like a foundation program, do you understand what I am saying?" Favour asked in a very professional way.
Akanbi wondered what had happened, this was not the Favour he had a heart to heart conversation with the previous night. He knew something had gone wrong, he knew Joy had come to do something but what it was, he could place his hand on it or did she tell Favour what they had discussed... he doubted it.
"OK ma, that's will be fine..Whatever you suggest I am in for it." Akanbi said putting up a strong face
“Alright Mr Akanbi First things first, you need to give your life to Christ, you need to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior. Are you ready for that?”
Akanbi nodded...
“Good! Say this after me, Heavenly Father, I accept your Son Jesus Christ as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I say no to Sin. Forgive me of all my sins in Jesus name. Help me to live a sin and guilt free life in Christ Jesus. Thank you Father! In Jesus name I pray...”
Akanbi repeated the prayer!
“ For better follow up and growth, I will hand you over to Mr Chuks. If you have any issues, you can always check back with me!” Favour said to a very shocked Akanbi...
“ This girl has truncated my plans indeed... Now, I won’t have a close rapport with this woman! Damn!” The aggressive businessman in Akanbi rose up..
“ But God sent me to you, not Mr Chuks!”
“ God sent you to the Lighthouse, not to Miss Favour!” Tina said
Akanbi knew this must have been finalized between the two ladies. There was no point arguing with them...
He bowed his head and stepped back...
“ Alright! “
Akanbi walked out knowing he had to go look for that girl called Joy!
