This chappie is dedicated to my friend, Ade strange 😅😄😄😃🤩🤩

" That money is to shut you up, Mr. Anjola" said Popoola walking back to his sit.

Anjola didn't say anything. He stood up and walked out of the man's office.

Popoola pressed a button on his intercom

* Don't let that man leave this place.*

Anjola stopped in his track and felt the urge to go back to that office.

Meanwhile Popoola was communicating with his personal assistant,

* Sir, I don't see him * said his PA
* What do you mean by that? Can a man just disappear into thin air*

" That's because I didn't go far sir" said Anjola walking back to the man's office.

" Or so I see you've changed your mind " said Popoola smirking.

" You shouldn't conclude yet sir. I didn't come back for the filthy money " said Anjola in between gritted teeth

Popoola demeanor changed. And, it definitely showed discomfort.
" So what are you here for then? " asked Popoola after a long moment of silence between them

Anjola was trying to keep calm and not say something that he'd regret.

" I came to tell you the truth which apparently you don't know " said Anjola more calmly than ever.

" I'm listening " said Popoola trying to appear relaxed but internally he was very uncomfortable and feeling guilty.  Something he hasn't felt in a long while.

" You are a national rapist and pauper who can't fend for himself without getting involved in national robbery. You are the highest criminal. You don't know how it's feels to be cheated on your right by heartless people who have more than enough but are too selfless to give "

" You don't know what true Leadership is because if you knew you won't be doing what you are doing "

" Do you know what you are actually doing. You're not suffering the people but yourself. All the blessings that should come to you, will be curses from the people. Sir, if you still have a heart please stop what you are doing " said Anjola finally before walking out of the man's office.

Popoola felt bad about what he was doing. He felt remorse but it was cut short when a voice came out of his intercom after a few minutes.

* Sir, I've seen him. He's approaching the gate.*

* Don't stop him, let him go *

* But sir, you'd asked me...*

* I SAID LET HIM GO * shouted Popoola

*Uhmm, okay sir*

Anjola drove out of Popoola's office not regretting what he said to him and drove straight to his friend's house, Ade.

Ade is Anjola's best friend. They are like twin brother. Ade is a linguistic teacher and a counselor in one of the best schools in Kwara state. He isn't just a mere teacher. He is an excellent teacher. All his student always come out the best. He wasn't only a teacher but a motivator. He made sure all the students, that pass through him and would pass through him, come out the best not only in academics but also character. They had a teacher who understood them and was able to say the right thing they needed at the right moments. So every student in that school always go to him for advice. Seeing this, the school authorities made him a counselor.
Anjola arrived at his friend's humble abode.

" Hi, guy! Longest time. I wasn't even expecting you " said Ade excited as he allowed his friend in

" Yeah, sorry for that bro"

"No, it's okay. Now we can talk together "

" Okay when you walked in I saw GREATNESS on top of your head" said Ade all of a sudden

†††††††††††

Ade is sensitive just like Tanya. Ade wasn't always like this. He was about wasting his entire life in school if not for people like Anjola, Oyinda, Damisola, Tomiwa ( a course mate ) and Tanya. They were all Jesus addicts, ready to rescue every of their course mate from destruction. And it so happened that Anjola was the one to help Ade realise his purpose. It's wonderful when friends bring out the best in each other. And Ade was lucky to have a roomie like Anjola to help him and to introduce him to other Jesus addict like him.

Ade was on the path of destruction when God brought Anjola to his path. He was coincidentally placed in Anjola's room by the school portal. Anjola was merely being a good christian when he felt God placed a desire to bring his new roomie to Christ. Ade was Anjola's roomie together with Tomiwa. Anjola and Tomiwa were good christian making Ade to feel left out and sad when he sees them but he always hid his emotions well. But the HOLY SPIRIT could see through it so He told Anjola. And Anjola decided to inform Tomiwa of it and they both partnered to bring Ade, their new roomie, to Christ.

A day came when Ade went out and he hadn't come back to the hostel for a long time. It was already getting to midnight meanwhile Tomiwa and Anjola were in the hostel preparing for a long day of lectures. Tomiwa was busy reading while Anjola was cooking because he hadn't eaten since afternoon due to his busy schedules as president of student affairs.
Tomiwa was getting signals of worry for Ade but he dismissed them on the claims of trying to concentrate on what he was reading. But then what Anjola told him about helping Ade surfaced and this made him to voice out his concern.

"This one that he isn't around I hope he's alright" said Tomiwa with worry hitched in his voice.

" Let's pray for him then" suggested Anjola while coming out of the kitchen with a plate of well cooked potato omelette.

" Wait, is that potato omelette?" asked Tomiwa surprised.

"Yeah, why?" said Anjola worried that he would have to share with Tomiwa. But then he dismissed the thought and said to himself. ' it's good to share'

"I thought you said you don't know how to make it" said Tomiwa surprised that Anjola cooked something.

"Yeah but thanks to the HOLY SPIRIT's encouragement I tried it and I got it" said Anjola placing his food on his bed .

" Ohh, and I was already thinking that I was the only good cook in this room"' stated Tomiwa confessing his feelings.

" You are, just that we have another one now" soothed Anjola. He really appreciated one thing in Tomiwa, he never left place for jealous in his heart. If he felt hurt or jealous he'll say it in a calm and wise way that doesn't hurt or harm the other party involved.

" Thank God" said Tomiwa smiling.

" Let's pray for Ade" reminded Anjola.

" Ohh yeah. I almost forgot" said Tomiwa.

And they prayed for Ade. Tomiwa and Anjola felt the nudge to pray more and in tongues too.

Meanwhile Ade was on the verge of committing suicide because he felt like he didn't have anything to live for. He felt life was nothing but just mere existence. He felt everything is just falsehood.

Why did he feel this way ?

His girlfriend, Mory cheated on him with is so called best friend.

He found them together in bed in an hotel. Mory's friend, Betty had chatted him up about Mory being in hotel and in trouble. She wanted Ade to be hers so when her friend told her about being in a double relationship with two guys. She ceased it to get Ade so she lied to Ade so he would find out the truth about Mory's unfaithfulness.

She thought she would be getting what she wanted but she didn't because her action led Ade to want to commit suicide.

Ade felt disappointed, hurt and disgusted. He drank every bottle of bear the money on him could buy in a nearby bar. He was drunk to stupor. He couldn't handle himself or his emotions. He felt betrayed by the girl he thought was going to be his future wife. Yes, he's friends had girlfriend for the fun of it but Ade wanted something permanent.

And that permanent thing chattered his heart and made him feel strangled between his emotions.

He had pure intentions for Mory. He cared about her and loved her.

After drinking everything he thought could take away the pain. It still lingered, taunting him to the point of thinking about suicide. As he looked forward, he saw a tall building and he got the idea for his suicide method

He approached the building. As he climbed the stairs, he thought about everything he would lose, he thought about his life and future but he dismissed them thinking they were mere nothing without Mory.

Meanwhile Anjola and Tomiwa had already started praying for him. It was when he was about crossing the veranda of the high building, that he felt a hand touch him. He stopped at first and turned back but saw no one.

He resumed his crossing when he felt that hand again. He turned back but no one was there. He continued what he was about doing when he felt that hand again. This time he aborted the suicide idea and started running as if someone was chasing him. He ran fast for someone drunk as him.

He ran to his hotel, barged in with every force in his body and landed in front of Tomiwa and Anjola.
Anjola and Tomiwa were rounding up their prayers when he landed in front of them.

They were shocked and surprised. They didn't know how to react but then they ran to him after overcoming their shocked state.

Ade was on the floor curled up like a ball. He was crying profusely like a baby. Tomiwa and Anjola went over to hug him.

Ade hugged them and cried in their arms. He felt love radiate from their bodies. He couldn't comprehend what he felt in their arms. But now he knew it was Christ hugging him through them.

After crying so much, Ade sat down on his bed looking lost in thought.
Anjola and Tomiwa observed him and prayed for him under their breath.

Then he said suddenly

" I want to know HIM " he said inaudibly.

Tomiwa and Anjola didn't get what he said at first but Ade repeated it loudly.

" I want to know HIM" repeated Ade loudly.

Tomiwa was already smiling like an idiot while Anjola chocked on his food.

" You do know what you said right ? " asked a smiling Tomiwa.

" Yes I do" said Ade looking straight at a smiling Tomiwa which also infected him to smile genuinely for the first time in a long while.

Anjola recovered from his chocking state soon enough to say something

" Wow! That's great. All you need to do is give Him your life. " said Anjola.

" But I don't know how to do that." Confessed Ade.

" Don't worry. We'll help you." said Tomiwa smiling.

" Just open your heart. Tell him you've sinned against him by your way of thinking, tell him you're sorry and want to change to the person He wants you to be. Tell HIM to wash you clean. Invite HIM to your heart ❤️" instructed Tomiwa. While Anjola prayed along with Ade but in tongues.

Ade did as instructed and then he felt the Lord touch him. He fell on the floor rolling in tongues.

Anjola and Tomiwa were amazed at the sight in front of him. They've never seen anything like this before. A newly convert was speaking in tongues.

" GOD, you are amazing " confessed Tomiwa

" GOD!! " exclaimed Anjola in shock.

And from that day, Ade became a new man. Everyone noticed it. Even his past friends. But it didn't stop Anjola from couching him on how to be a good christian and supervising his spiritual progress.

Ade made friends with all of Tomiwa and Anjola's friends and left behind all his old friends. He continued in Christ with the help of his new found friends. And he was given the gift of prophesy.

†††††††††††

" Okay when you walked in I saw GREATNESS on top of your head" said Ade all of a sudden.

Anjola smiled at his friend.

"Tell me about it." said Anjola.

" The simple thing is that God is planning something great for you, my friend "

"Now let's pray it to past." concluded Ade

And the both of them prayed together in tongues

Then did some catching up

Hi guys

I hope you're enjoying the story.
Please do leave a comment and also If Ade's story changed you or touched you please leave a comment

LOVE YOU ALL WITH THE LOVE OF CHRIST

Do you guys know that praying in tongues is good. And you can pray the fulfilment of God's purpose in your life. You can even pray over every needs and problem you'll have in future in tongues

So for as many that have the gift always use it. And congratulations just make sure you understand what you are saying ( 1 Corinthians 14; 13 ) and for as many that don't. Don't worry the Lord wants to give us. So anticipate in continuous prayer for it 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

1 Corinthians 14:13 KJV
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

Notice that Ade got that supernatural experience ( of someone touching him ) because Tomiwa and Anjola prayed in Tongues. They must have prayed God's perfect will on Ade
