The Creator
Episode 8
©️ Shedrach Baba
It was noised across the village what happened during the crusade.
“They claim their God is the most powerful, yet Abike who just joined the witches, turned the crusade around, what if Fijabi or Ogundiran appeared, what would have happened”, some of the villagers scoffed.
The crusade which Pastor Segun hosted turned out to be a total disaster, he clearly wasn’t expecting to be handicapped.
He thought he was still in the university, where he could engage in all kinds of immorality but still preach and go unscathed, but he learnt the hard way, university was obviously different from the village, he was eventually going to be dealt with it in the university but he unknowingly fast tracked the whole process.
He forgotten the bible verse which says,
“Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD”
Fijabi and Ogundiran were the most dreaded individuals in the entire Dotumu village, their cruelty been known to both young and old, Fijabi once turned an entire family to tubers of yam just because they appeared five minutes early to a meeting he called for, yes, because they arrived to early.
He felt It was an insult to arrive early when he wasn’t present and it was an even greater offence when you arrive late.
“God, what is happening?, we have prayed and fasted still no response from you,
Why don’t you want to answer?, am I even sure God is hearing me?,”, Moses was feeling discouraged.
After the incident, Pastor Segun was sent back, and the youths were asked to remain which left them puzzled, a Pastor was made handicapped, what could they even do?, They are about to find out.
Moses and the youth started praying and fasting for two months and it seemed as if God doesn’t want to answer their prayers.
“No, I won’t give up now, Moses picked up his bible and began to read.
“Thus saith the LORD, the heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool”,
“Wow, so the whole heaven is God throne, what is a throne?”, Moses started pondering, he saw a chair, and sat on a chair.
“This means, our God is sitting”, Moses saw stool and brought it close, placing both of his legs.
“No, a footstool”, He removed his left leg.
“God is extraordinarily big and large, if the second foot his not on the stool, then where is it?. Moses asked a rhetorical question.
In Kingsley, Olubo and Ugo room
“When will Asuu call of the strike, I am getting frustrated, I cannot wait to leave the village”, Ugo complained.
“I just hope FG and Asuu reach a common ground”, Kingsley sighed.
“I thought this was going to be a breeze but it is turning into something else, the mosquitoes here are demonic”, Olubo also complained.
He had treated malaria about two times last month.
“We would survive, I just need Omo eleje tutu”, Kingsley sighed again.
“Better control your prophetic mantle, do you want to end up like Pastor Segun?”, Olubo advised.
“Speaking of Pastor Segun, see how he was disgraced, and I was thinking he was a man of fire”, Ugo shook his head.
“We all know Beelzebub cannot cast out demons, what were you expecting?, A man that is shoulder deep in immorality”, Olubo hissed.
“Keep your voice down, do you want the others to hear”, Ugo whispered.
Pastor Segun escapades were known only to them, because he sometimes carried them along
“Olubo, we all know he isn’t clean but I was expecting a miracle”, Kingsley also whispered
“Forget, Pastor Segun, God cannot be deceived”

“What is happening, why am I seeing light almost descending on Dotumu Village, who is this person?,
“No, I can see a group of people, they want to deliver Dotumu village,
They dare?!”, Fijabi consulted with the figurehead in his shrine.
“I will kill them all, Ogundiran said some incantations and turned into six black dogs with talisman round about their necks.
