I noticed Favour gave me a Lot of distance, although I knew I started it first. We only greeted each other officially. I wasn’t free around her anymore.
“ Favour is not the enemy, stop treating her as one… You more than anyone should know this is how the kingdom of darkness works. They present you the image of someone you love as an enemy in your dream to make you far from such a person, and moreover this case is even different, Linda revealed herself right here before us… You should stop this distance you are creating between you and Favour…. Moreover, you should know this could be the SCA’s Plan B. They may want to build up enemity between you two… Favour has your best interest at heart. Back at the SCA. I saw how she fasted for you one day a week for the salvation of your soul, so if she suddenly lost it by being emotional, you should know she is human…” Tina said to me bluntly in my office.
“ Thank you!”
“ Is that all you have to say!”
“ Tina, honestly thank You!” I said
Tina was obviously irritated at me. It must have taken her new found faith in Christ that restrained her from cursing.
She walked out very pissed at me …

Favour was seated at one of the balconies at the Lighthouse. She was having a video chat with Mercy…
“ You really look lean and unhappy!” Mercy said
“ I am fine, trying to watch my weight!”
“What weight? You are beautiful just the way you are!” Mercy said “ Mum, please be careful about the craze of losing weight ooo, a lot of people are becoming psychologically imbalanced because of this trend!”
“ Hey Mercy! Sorry to intrude!” I said , Favour jumped back in Shock
“ Hey.. Uncle Chuks, I am not happy with you, you promised to come say hi to Kenneth and I but we haven’t seen your brake lights…” Mercy said playfully
“ I am sorry… I really don’t know why recently I have been offending a lot of people” I said jokingly
“ Really?” Mercy said taking my joke seriously…
“Yeah, and I think your mum is part of those I offended, so can you please apologize to her on my behalf”
“ Hmmm… that sounds interesting… What was your offense?” Mercy asked
“ Mercy, never mind… it’s adult stuff!” I said laughing
“ Ok… now that is an insult, Uncle Chuks, because the last time I checked I was an adult, fully married” Mercy said
That brought Favour out of her shell as we all burst into laughter…
“ Seriously… I am an adult” Mercy went on and on about being an adult.
She ended the video getting nothing out of both of us, but ended with these powerful words…
“ I know whatever it is, you both will settle it, you are a team made from heaven… Though you may not be married, but I see you as partners that God has prepared to capture, nurture, repair and launch great destinies into our world who will Inturn do great wonders for God!”

“ I am sorry!”
“ For?” Favour asked as she maintained a straight face
“ For trying to create unnecessary distance between us…”
“ it’s okay!, it’s for the best!” Favour said
“ No! we are partners… and partners can’t be far from each other…”
“ Our feelings?” Favour asked
“ We are a work in progress, we will be able to put our feelings under subjection, as we have a greater assignment in our hands” I said
“ Which is?” Favour asked
“ To pull down the SCA and I need you as my partner…”
“ Tina is available …”
“ Yes I know, but Tina can never replace you in this fight, Favour, you are special and graced. You carry a special kind of anointing, zeal and Love of God that can bring down the SCA … Please…. Will you join me in this fight?”
“ Only on one condition!” Favour said….
“ Tina joins us in this fight, a third person will serve as caution!”
“ Fine! I agree to that, besides a three fold cord can never be easily broken. With you and Tina with me as my partners, we can and will pull down the SCA…”
Favour stretched forth her hand for a handshake and I reciprocated, though I wanted a hug as I wanted to let her know how sorry I was.
“ Partners..?” She said “ Nothing more, Nothing Less” She said with a smile
“ Partners, Nothing more, Nothing less” I replied
“ Now, this is more like it…” Tina said from the doorway of the balcony…
Obviously she must have heard our conversation because her next line was…
“ I promise to be the Love watchdog between both of you, making sure you do not cross the line in your line of duty, so help me God!” Tina said laughing as she stretched her hand for the partnership handshake….
“ So What is the plan?” Tina asked “It’s time to take down the SCA”….
To be continued…..
