Episode 8
Folake has done several evangelism and many people have given their lives to Christ through her. She was on fire for God and many people emulated her including her friend which later joined her church. Also, people came to meet her for mentorship, she organized programs and her academic was going fine. God manifested his glory and presence in her life.
Months later, the revelation pastor had began to manifest.
“Folake are you seriously in love with that guy" Dieko asked.
“Which guy is that? Folake asked.
“Hmmm, how many guys are you in love with? Dieko asked.
“Well, I cannot say for now. I am confused" Folake replied, looking worried
“Folaaaa, don't let this love of a thing distract you. Remember you have nations on your shoulder also, many people emulating you. This may be one of devil's plot in your life. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you can't love anyone but you need to know what your Father (God) is saying about it. This may not be the time for Love, be patient and remember the pastor's revelation" Dieko said.
“Oh please, I am not moving out of God's plan and moreover, the pastor said things of the world. Is love things of the world" Folake asked angrily.
“Love belongs to everyone in the world but who we choose to go into a relationship with is not our own doing. We depend on God, let him choose the right person at the right time" Dieko said as Folake's phone rang.
“Its Matthew" she said smiling.
“Matthew! You mean Matthew in our department, the guy who own the medical man's club association (MMCA). This is unbelievable, tell me what is happening Fola? Dieko said.
“Chill down, you worry too much. We became friends not quite long and this guy is really nice. He invited me to Minister to his people" Folake said and she smiled.
“Folake tell me is this the level at which you now go to minister in the name of God. This is totally unbearable. What do a light have to do with darkness? Folake we ought to bring them into the knowledge of God as a light, not dwelling with them in darkness. Remember what the bible says in the book of 2 Cor 6:14. Moreover, what do you expect your band members and those that you are grooming to say, that our evangelism coordinator has gone out of the way and they are now advising you and praying that God touch your heart instead of the way round. Never, God forbid! I want you to think about it" Dieko said.
“ You talk as if you are perfect. Just one call and all these preaching. What if I now go, what are you going to say. She smiled and continued, I understand everything you said but I still have to go for tonight" Folake said. She changed her clothes and leave the house.
“Hmm.. God I need your intervention" Dieko said and entered her room.

Episode 9
After that night was the beginning of another chapter of life for Folake. She started dating Matthew and move with his clique, men and ladies that goes to club. She got attracted to their expensive lifestyle as she relocated from her house to join them. Folake stopped coming to class as her presence in church gradually dropped. Diego didn't give up on her as she calls her, even though she didn't pick up and she continued to pray for her.
It is time for prayer meeting as Dieko hurried to go to church. The prayer meeting was firegetic and more revelation, encounter and prophetic words were realized. Dieko knelt down to pray and after her prayers, she carried her bag secretly without allowing anybody to notice her and as she was about to move out, bro Goke who has been watching her steps ran to double cross her.
“Sister Dieko of life, where are you going to secretly? Bro Goke asked.
She felt so ashamed as she gave a fake smile and said “I am going to... Church, sorry I mean home”
“But why are you behaving like this? This is not you. What is going on, tell me? Bro Goke asked as he sat her down. Instead of her to talk, she started crying. He brought out handkerchief from his pocket and gave her.
"It's fine " he said as he patted her back.
“mmmm...mmm.. Hmm, what is going on here " Pastor asked as he cleared his throat. Bro Goke stood up and moved back. He turned his face towards Dieko who was crying.
“Sister Diego, why are you crying? Did bro Goke offend you or did he disappoint you " Pastor said but bro Goke quickly said “No sir and he explained everything to him”
“Okay now I understand. Is it because of your friend sis folake" pastor said. Seiko raised her head and said “She was once a fervent, prayerful and passionate Christian and sometimes, I envy her because of God's dealings and encounter in her life but all of a sudden, she was lost and carried away. Pastor I don't understand " she cleaned the tears that was about to drop.
“I could remember vividly that day I called and told her about the revelation I saw. Though, it was not for her but the spirit of God laid it in my mind to tell her specifically. The devil's attack on the Christian brethren is very serious now and those who wait, pray, obey, commune, study the word and stay strong in Christ can overcome. Psalm 91:1 made us understand that he who dwell in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty which signify covering and protection but sis folake have left the secret place. Now, what we have to do is to pray that she goes back to the secret place and that is what I have been praying about with some members in the church. We have been interceding for her and I know you are doing the same. Wipe your tears and let's pray " he said as he raised her face. It is well dear.
Dieko thanked him for those words revived her as she stood up, thank bro Goke for his care and went home to pray.
