“What do you mean by they are all lesbians?” I asked.
“Please keep your voice down!” He replied and looked around if anyone heard us.
Luckily, no one was looking at us, but I wasn’t buying it. I have been in Broadway academy all alone. Just the few minutes I found a family, Romeo was about to spoil my mind towards them.
“I don’t care if anyone hears us. Tell me why you accuse them of being lesbians, you this porn addict!” I replied.
He looked at me with shock written on his face.
“You are the saint right? You are the righteous one. You are now the one with the pure heart. You think God has not been revealing to me how you have been secretly watching porn and hiding it from your parents.”
He looked at me and I could tell from the looks of his face that he was angry.
“Juliet! Are you righteous yourself! You this stubborn and arrogant girl!” He replied.
I was shocked but I made sure to hide my expression very well and not give him the satisfaction he was looking for.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Do you know what I saw those girls doing that made me run away from them? You didn’t listen to the entire story and you’re here telling me I am a porn addict.”
“One things I hate most in my life is to watch others destroy friendship by speaking something evil about their friends. I hate it with passion and I’m not ready to give you that satisfaction.”
“Fine! If you would not give me that satisfaction, won’t you give God what he wants?” He asked.
I exhaled.
I had disobeyed God twice today. Just in one day, have rejected two powerful instructions. I wasn’t ready to even start another round of apology. I was tired of the regular slogan, ‘Daddy I’m sorry’.
Whatever wants to happen let it happen. I’m done trying to tell God I’m sorry. Today I’ll repent, tomorrow I’m back. Let me just roll with my backwardness. At least God is fed up as well. So what’s the need apologizing to God. I had failed so much that I cannot make it spiritually anymore.
Simple instructions, I will not obey. God, go ahead and do your worst! I’m done trying to be good. I want to quit. My failures are too many.
Ezekiel 22:14 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
That was the scripture that popped up in my heart. Instead of me to reconcile with God, I have decided to ride on with my disobedience. Will I have what it takes to withstand God?
I waved the thought aside.
“What do you want Romeo? What do you hope to achieve by spoiling a good relationship?” I asked.
“A good relationship?”
“Yes!”
“Just in one day?”
“Yes!”
“You know what? I don’t think we have anything to discuss. Since I’m the one trying to spoil a good relationship. I’ll accept I’m at fault. I’m so sorry for trying to ruin your friendship with darkness. You are light and yet you want to make friends with darkness,” Romeo said.
I was shocked by those words. Those were exactly the same words I said in my dream. I gave him a look that showed he was surprised, but he hissed and looked away.
“I’m sorry!” I quickly apologized.
“I didn’t know what came over me! Please forgive me!”
He hissed and didn’t reply.
“If you want to be a lesbian, go ahead and join them. Afterall, you love them so much!” He said.
This got me angry at the spot. Who does he take me for?
I was about to lash out at him when a teacher walked into the class to teach. It appeared our conversation had to continue later. So I maintained my cool.
We had teachers coming in and out of the class for the next 2 and a half hours and then it was closing. Before I could start another conversation with Romeo, boom! He was gone.
At least I needed him to tell me what he saw that made him discover those girls were lesbians. At least I needed him to tell his own side of the story. But I had gotten him angry already.
I strapped my bag on my back and walked out of the classroom. I had not walked a few steps when someone hugged me from behind.
I wanted to jerk free and resist, but I maintained my cool. When Angela said it was her.
“How are you sister?” She asked.
It’s been a long time someone at Broadway academy asked me how I was doing. Nobody was there for me, not even Romeo who claims he was helping me. I had no companion except Fejiro and we only had time for ourselves during closing hours.
“I’m fine!” I said.
“Can I walk with you?”
“Of course!”
“Okay! Thanks,” she replied grinning.
“You’re welcome darling!”
“There’s something I want to share with you. God is about to do something mighty in this institution. I can sense it in my spirit. He sent you to us at such a time like this. To liberate and put an end to the reign of darkness in this territory. This is the great assignment God has given you.
But there’s something I have always noticed. When God is about to do something, Satan fights very angrily to stop God from doing what he’s about to do. He fights with great zeal an passion. Afterall, he’s every believer’s sworn enemy.
So whenever God is trying to help save a generation, Satan is ever present to destroy what God is about to do.”
“That’s absolutely true!” I concurred.
“Remember in the bible how Moses came to the earth to liberate God’s people from the Egyptian slavery? That was the same period Pharoah made a decree to sink all Hebrew babies in the river Nile. Exactly when Moses came that’s when Pharoah decided to kill Hebrew babies.
That’s same thing repeated itself when Jesus was born. At the same period when the son of god was made manifest to destroy the works of the devil, that was when Herod suddenly woke up and decided to kill every child in Bethlehem.
Can you imagine?”
“That’s absolutely true!” I answered.
I was wondering where she was heading with her conversation.
“I don’t like what God has placed in my hands. Honestly, if I had a choice I would prefer to have boyfriends and enjoy what all my mates are enjoying. But because God has revealed to me that someone unexpected is on the way and that I should hold on. If not, sometimes,I felt like quiting.”
“No! Quiting has no rewards. Quiting or giving up makes you a loser in the he hands of the devil. Please, don’t quit, you’ll be declaring the devil a loser.”
“Sometimes we are tempted to drop God and walk away. I mean what do you do when people go about spreading lies against you?” Angela asked.
I was a bit confused.
“Did anyone lie against you recently?” I asked.
“I don’t know how to hear it. That’s the reason why I came here to report to you. Because you are a woman of God and you are God sent. How do I handle everyone out there? Because we are all girls, people started calling us lesbians.
Please how do you expect me to swallow that kind of false accusation?”
I looked at her with shock written all over my face. Was this discussion a coincidence? Or was this seriously a made up conversation?
This must be a made up conversation. Broadway academy is not an ordinary school, but a spiritual battlefield. Maybe they had seen my conversation with Romeo and they had decided to persuade me into believing her story nor than what Romeo had to say.
And they also manipulated Romeo to be too angry to go ahead and reveal their true identity to me. They have been spying on me spiritually because I revealed my identity to them.
Could this be what is going on right now?”
Suddenly, Angela burst into tears and went down in her knees.
Students passed by us and some stopped to watch the scene she had created.
I quickly pulled her up and placed he head on my shoulder.
“Please stop crying. It is well! God is in control. You’ll make it out of this situation.
“Make it to where? To more insults or to more false accusations? You don’t know the things I’ve suffered in this school just because I chosed to serve God. Now look at the names they are calling me? Just look at the insults I’m receiving? Just look at the terrible name they are calling me? Just because I chosed to believe it n a day when light will defeat darkness.”
“John chapter 1 verse 1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Verse 2. The same was in the beginning with God.
Verse 3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Verse 4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Verse 5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Angela! The light of God we carry will shine in this darkness of immorality in this place and the darkness of immorality will flee out of this school in Jesus name!”
“Amen!”
“I’m sorry for all the pain you had to go through sister. I never knew Satan was trying to make a fool out of me. I almost misjudged you,” I said pulling her to her feet.
“Wait you mean you believed the lies the devil was feeding you with?” She asked and gave me those wide eye balls.
I nodded in the affirmation.
“How could you?” She asked and drew back from me.
“I’m sorry! Please find a place in your heart to forgive me!”
She stood and looked away from me for a while. Then she stared at me.
“For the sake of the Jesus that I carry in me. Because he has always taught me to love my enemies and forgive those who persecute me. That’s why I’m forgiving you also.
You’re my sister in Christ! I see you as a God sent deliverer. How can I hold grudges against my own sister in my heart? Please forgive me for getting angry with you for believing the lies of the devil.”
Angela was such a wonderful. I was the one apologizing to her, but here she was apologizing to me. Such a pure in heart sister. And that arrogant Romeo was busy painting her as the devil when he was the true devil himself.
I can’t believe I taking her for a lesbian. It’s good not to judge a book by its cover. I condemned an innocent soul because I opened my ears to that foolish boy Romeo.
I hugged her and began to wipe the tears off her face.
“Don’t weep anymore dear sister. I man God sent! I will be your consolation. I will wipe away your tears from your eyes. Your weeping days are over. Be of good cheer.”
To be continued…….
