Bro Paul: Episode 4 Paul wanted to fulfil righteousness and be holy to God, his girlfriend he loved so much was out there feeling lonely and bored. Paul was confused on how to balance his spiritual life with his emotional life. He wish he could make eunice happy but he doesnt know how to go about it. He was already back to his spiritual stand with God. He wish he could make eunice spiritually fit like himself but it was always impossible. He couldnt leave eunice because he loved him so much and the love was hindering him from thinking straight. He keeps hearing this two contradicting voices about Eunice. One voice will tell him to quit, another voice will tell him to hold on to eunice. He couldnt tell which of them is of God and of Demons. After struggling with thoughts, paul decided to consult a spiritual leader for a divine insight on his situation. He knelt down and he was prayed for. After 18mins of prayer, the spiritual leader told paul that he wasnt compatible with eunice, they are two opposite character and it wasnt Gods chosen. Paul tried to let the pastor realises how he often dream about her and how a voice always spoke to him about eunice, but the pastor repeated it again that eunice was a wrong choice, the only solution is to quit. Paul was shocked. How do I go about quitting with the girl I loved with all my heart?, I need to go on to God personally for confirmation paul thought. The following week, eunices attention was shifting gradually from paul. Even at school, she wasnt fond of staying around paul again like before, she was always seen chating on her phone and laughing out alone at intervals. Paul wasnt getting comfortable with this latest development, he decided to go on a 3 days fast and prayer to get a confirmation about eunice. 3days into the fast, he had a dream and saw himself sitting infront of a house containing maidens. He came there to pick a wife, Eunice was in rags coming out of the room looking dirty and smelling. Then someone called her back and told her see that guy out there (pointing at paul), he wants a clean woman as wife. Take this clean cloth and perfume to cover yourself so that he would pick you. Eunice immediately sprayed the perfume and wore the clean with cloth, she washed her face and she appeared good looking. On getting outside, paul was carried away by the outward look without taking a look at the inward appearance and he immediately picked eunice and left for the aisle. Along. The road to the aisle, wind was blowing and eunices good looking dress was about to be blown open by the wind, then eunice told paul. Dear, I dont want you to see me until we get to the aisle. Let me tie this little cloth on your eyes and I will hold your hands to lead you till we get to the aisle. Paul agreed and his face was covered. Eunice held pauls hand as the walk along, on their road. They met another dirty young man eunice immediately held the man with her left hand and the 3 were walking along while paul was blindfolded to notice the latest development and also, he couldnt see people waiving at him to stop and see his new company. Paul woke up immediately and started sweating. He picked his bible and began to pray. This time, he held a voice clearly with any hindrance saying paul, paul, paul!!!, she is not your woman!!!!. Paul took the boldness and courage to open up to eunice and broke up with her, telling her it was an instruction from God. The both cried for days. Few days later, eunice finally cheered up and sticked to valentino. NYSC ended, paul travelled to lagos to stay with one of his friends who promised to help him with a job. At lagos, another problem happened to paul........ ************************************ Paul got to lagos, he stayed with his friends who were working with big firms and were living together. One of his friends earns 120k while the other earns 135k respectively. Paul thought he could get job as soon as possible, but he doesnt go beyond aptitude test level ever since he had been applying for job in lagos. 6 months went by and paul hadnt gotten any job. His two friends tried to fix him in their different workplaces but it still doesnt work out. Paul continued praying and hoping on God for a job but each time he prayed, he always heard a silent voice saying wait!!!!, the appointed time is near. He was convinced in his heart that soonest, he would get a job. 18months went by, paul was still in lagos without getting any job. He decided to increased the duration of his fasts and prayers. He even went to the mountain to pray but he was still given the same word of wait!!!!, the appointed time is near. Pauls friends were getting fed up of feeding him with their salary for over a year. One of them suggested that they should take paul to the baba that always assist them whenever they have spiritual problems or any problem, paul was angry on hearing this whaaaaaat , a whole me? Servant of the most high God?, follow you guys to an herbalist?, Never!!!! Paul yelled at them and walk away into his room. The friends were beginning to be tired of paul. One of them vowed never to drop a single kobo for paul again since he isnt ready to help himself. The other friend went inside the room to meet paul and talk to him. Paul, you see, this man gave us divine favour soap that we used to bath and it helped us in getting jobs in time. We arent telling you to do rituals, neither are we telling you to offer or carry any sacrifice, we understand how religious crazy you are. But God doesnt go against assitance, dont you hear the general saying of *heaven help those who help themselves?*, see let me tell you, we also attend churches and at the same time, we meet prophets to assist us in reaching to God faster, and that is why we wanted you to follow us to meet this man. He is going to help you ..........bla....bla....bla. The other friend continued convincing paul but at the end of everything, paul rejected the idea. The following week, the other friend who vowed not to drop a kobo fulfilled his vow, he would spend a lot outside, branched at eateries to eat and only comes home to sleep. The other friend began to complain of been the only one to provide for the house. Paul was getting hurt inside of him as his previous good friends are suddenly turning against him. Weeks later, the other friend also stopped providing for the home and paul was left alone to survive on his own. He decided to walk across the street one day and he saw vacancy for a sales boy at a provision shop. He decided to apply for it just to have a means of income. The shop owner told paul that she would be paying 5,000naira and he agreed without hesitating. On getting home, he told his friends that he had gotten a small job, they asked about it and he told them everything. They both laughed and mocked him. So you prefer 5k compared to the 135k and 120k we both earn respectively? One of his friends said while mocking him. Wont you rather follow us to somewhere where you would be assisted and get favour?. The other said. Paul felt sad and walked away. Paul started his sales boy job and still continued hoping on God for a turnaround. He was tired of praying alone and he decided to visit the pastor of the church he attends in lagos for prayers. The pastor said the same thing to him that his appointed time is near. If only he could be patient on God. After 6months of working as a sales boy, he had faced enough insults and humiliation from his employer. At home also, his friends werent contributing. They both eat outside and only comes home to sleep. And paul isnt ready to leave lagos and return to his parents. He just had this belief that he would get a nice job in lagos. After 3years and 8months of staying in lagos, paul sat down and began to think. He envied the luxurious lifestyle his friends were living. He wish he could have a 6 digit salary job and ride cars like his friends, but he isnt ready to meet any baba for help. Me?, baba?, never!!!, I will never compromise my God paul said in his heart. At shop in the following week, pauls employer had went out and mini thieves came to steal items worth 60,000 in the shop while they were buying things. Paul was unaware until his employer returned and find out that goods were missing. He was seriously cursed and insulted by his employer who doesnt believed that the shop was robbed. She believed paul sold the goods and kept the money. Paul was slapped , arrested and sacked from the shop. He went back home after been released from the police station and began to cry about his frustrated life. His friends persuaded him again to give baba a trial and look out for tremendous change in his life. This time, paul agreed after many considerations Episode 5 Loading...
