EPISODE THREE (FINAL EPISODE)

John's father returned the same day, from a business trip to Abuja and was informed about John's new behaviour and his decision to follow Jesus. He was highly excited and exclaimed "that's my boy!, I'm so proud of you. Now you can do much more than we have ever done". He continued, "It was through the grace of God that I was able to resist the urge to get married to another woman when family and friends were on my neck to do so, I really thank God that His grace has found you". Both parents then joined hands with their son and prayed earnestly for him. 

John's life turned around. He became a bright student because he stopped being lazy. He read his books daily and his Bible consistently. On Saturdays, John would go to his discipler's house (i.e. Mr. Afolarin's house) to learn more about the word of God. He was growing fast in the Spirit and he began to share some lessons with his friends. People began to call him Pastor. John completed his education and got a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. He later went to a Theological Seminary to learn more and he eventually became a Pastor.
 
John got married to a beautiful, God-fearing woman of faith who supported him very well in ministry and they gave birth to five lovely children. John had been winning souls and he continued to win more souls for Christ, together with his wife and they trained all their children in the way of the Lord. 


Story ended.

LESSONS FROM ARTICLE TWO

 2) Prayerlessness: James 5:17-18 "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."  Even after delay is for an appointed time, we need to understand when its timing is over, in order to avoid prolonged delay. Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain and it did not rain on ground for three years and six months. In 1 Kings 18:41, Elijah prophesied about a sound of abundance of rain and to bring it to pass, he went to pray earnestly. 1 Kings 18:42. Prayerlessness prolongs delay but prayer brings it to an end. Hannah went up to Shiloh to pray unto the Lord and made a vow. I Samuel 1:10-11. She had been delayed in Child bearing; the Lord shut up her womb. She prayed unto God to remember her. We need to pray unto God. Are you experiencing any form of delay, pray unt

CAUSES OF DELAY (CONT'D) LESSONS FROM SECOND ARTICLE

 5) Sin Proverbs 14:34 "Righteousness exalteth a nation: But sin is a reproach to any people.  Sin is a major cause of delay. Some people experience delay, not because God wants it but, because they have sinned. Moses and the children of Israel experienced delay in the wilderness, because of the sin of disobedience. Num. 14:34 "After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise." Joshua 5:6 "For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey."  Disobedience is sin and it can lead to delay in the fulfilment of God's promis

She began to raise voices of intercession unto God and prayer altars to God on behalf of her family and, of course, she put the headmaster's family in prayers too.
