***THE FAKE PROPHECY***
"Hmm... I want to prophesy! I said I want to prophesy!"
So the man of God said and the entire church aside from mom and I responded in ecstasy saying:
"Prophesy Man of God, prophecy."
"I said I want to prophesy..."
"Prophesy man of God!"
After saying this he stepped down from the pulpit saying:
"There is a woman here! I said there is a woman here! Hmm... She is suffering from a spiritual husband..."
The man of God said with his eyes closed, he performed like someone in a trance.
Now the entire church was silent in anticipation. Many were silently praying and hoping that a prophecy from the young handsome man of God will come directly to them.
Yeah, did I forget to mention that the church was dominated by ladies? If I was to guess the percentage, I'll say that among the multitude in the church eighty-five to ninety percent were ladies while the rest will be men and kids.
"Hmm... This lady is here with us... This spiritual husband is not just the type that appears in the dream, he comes physically, and she goes to the beach to make love with him."
He continued.
"Oh! What we do for power... All these are just for money. How can you make love to a water spirit to the extent of having a son for him, this is not a spiritual son, this lady literally has a son for this evil spirit. And both of them are right here with us... They are among us, they could be the people sitting by your side, she could be the one looking at you right now."
The man of God asserted in the most dramatic means...
This caused the whole church members to look around in fear, with each person suspecting their female neighbor.
"Seriously? Is this what you brought me to? To be made ridicule of? He called me to his office only to ask me all these things about me, after that he extorted a huge sum of money from me, five hundred thousand naira, yes, five hundred thousand naira was the amount he swindled from me only to turn the story around and make a mockery of me."
Mom said to aunty Paula as she fumes in anger. Now I felt confused, what could mom be talking about? And that man is definitely not referring to her, all this his story has no likeness with my mom's quality. Right now everyone in the church kept looking ups and down, front and back to see if anyone will be identified as the one who the prophecy was talking about.
"You don't have to be ashamed, it is good as you have realized your mistakes and decided to retrace your step to the Angelic Ministry International, a home of Answers, deliverance, and restoration."
The man of God said...
"Yes, her name, her name, you said what? Ok, her name, If you hear your name I will want you to come outside, you are the one I'm talking to... Hmm... You stay in Maitama, and your name is... Hmm... Armageddon! Your name is... Miss... Miss what? Ok, Miss. Juliet Chibuzor. Yes, Miss Juliet Chibuzor. Come out Miss. Juliet Chibuzor, our lord has chose to deliver you, come out with your son as well, to day is your lucky day."
So, the man of God blurted. This got mom so furious, she almost burst out of anger.
I think this man is sick in his head, his reasoning is beginning to go awry, or should I say wonky. How could he call mom's name now as the person he just describe?
Now mom got up from the chair like he was standing to answer to the call. As she stood up, all eyes turned to see her, many people started babbling, chattering, and uttering some sickly words, but my mom was not standing to answer any call, she had gotten enough of the insult and deception.
"Are you going or not?"
Mom asked aunty Paula as she grabbed her handbag and my hand with her. Aunty Paula who was also as surprised as I was quickly stood up and followed us, but as we were just coming out of the chair row to leave, the man of God open his gutter to spill yet another trash.
"You don't have to run away, here is the only place you can find the solution you seek. Your little demon son will be delivered."
So he shouted. Wait a minute, did u just call me a little demon? Who ordained this decoy?
Now, mom could no longer hold it. She turned to him with a smile, then walk rewards him, as she walked towards him the church started clapping and cheering but they were only disappointed when mom collected a mic from one of the ushers to say this.
"Now listen to me, you have until the end of today, to refund my five hundred thousand naira, else you will have to answer to two things, one, his father, and two, the EFCC. You might have successfully defrauded many people, but I tell you that you have just jammed the wrong client."
So my mom said and threw the mic at his face as she left with us leaving the church in awe and the sham of a man of God in shock.
Like an angry soldier, mom walked down the stairs, matching her feet so hard to the ground, it almost sounded like a giant's walk. We walked past the receptionist who seem to be terrified by mom's countenance, she tried to communicate something to us, but Mom's facial expression spoke to her wisest thought which suggested to her to keep her hospitality to herself. Aunty Pula, on the other hand, was dumbfounded, she couldn't air a word, or do any other thing, all she did was just follow mom as I did.
