God still speaks

 

Known with an unparalleled devotion to the things that pertains to God, uncharacteristic love for his family, diligence in his working place coupled with punctuality, Engineer Charles Posey, became a symbol of envy to some of his colleagues in the business and community alike. His best friend at working place who knew his in and out, whom he shares thoughts and believes with happened to be the top of the list that were jealous of his successes, promotions especially in the working place where the former was a project supervisor of the group in which the latter was one of the groups.

 His reasons for his actions were not far-fetched. As narcissist he is, he thought within himself that he is a better programmer, better in algorithm and better in team work. Well, those traits are not uncommon with the category of people in that niche but when the push comes to shove, the former appears at the top of the best performing Software Engineer in A-Z Software company in Francisco, California, USA and besides, his employment has brought a positive trajectory in the revenue of the company.

When Walter Bryan could not contain it anymore, he did something about it. He went and connived with certain gangsters to hatch his plans.

 

****************************************************

He was struggling in his sleep doing all he could to get through a gang of mob that came after his life. Not quite long in that battle in the dream, he woke up, fidgeting and startled, stares, completely oblivion of the surroundings at the moment. It was a terrible nightmare. After a couple of minutes, it appeared that his raced heart beat returned to normalcy, he stood up and went to the sitting room to have some words of prayers. He was in the midst of heated prayer when a tap from behind brought his prayer to a halt.

“Is everything alright, Honey?”

A head nodded in response

“Okay, I am just checking on you”

“Thanks”

Few steps away from where she stood afore, she was interrupted,

“Would you mind joining in the prayer?”

“Not now Honey,” she said, continued her steps towards the bedroom while the husband resumed what he was doing.

The chiming of the alarm clock announced to Charles that the morning has brokered. He rounded off his devotions and went to do quiet time with his wife. In their morning quiet time, made it known to her, his horrible nightmare, both prayed against it. Finally, the quiet time came to an end paving the way for other activities for the day. He was doing some house chores as the wife prepares the breakfast when a call came from his friend. Walter made known to him how, he needed his help in something that was troubling him. He queried to know what it is so that they can trashed it at once but the caller insisted that it is not something that can discuss over phone. After the persuasions from the caller with the sugar-coated words, the recipient succumbed. He ate his meal, told his wife where he is about heading to and was behind the door that leads to the staircase when a voice spoke audibly into his mind, “be careful.” It was a weird moment as he turned to query the wife.

“Did you speak to me now?”

“Off course not”

He backpedaled, came and sat on one of the cushion seats. His wife whose gaze was still fixed on him was transfixed.

“What is going on?”

“The nightmare, the voice is not coincident, are they?”

“I don’t understand”

He came closer to his wife and explained everything to her. When it became cleared to her, she seconded him not to go anywhere. He immediately sent his friend an update which he received with a great displeasure, alleging him as a bad friend who can watch his friend die and will not dot an eye. As Charles tried to make him understand that they can still talk via a video app and every means technology has provided, still Walter who was boiling did not grasp the other’s line of reasoning. The whole things became clear when he sent him a very disgusting text message on how he hates him so much and wish nothing but death to him. It was then it dawned on Charles the meaning of the nightmare he had. He consulted a Cop and sent the texts to him after thanking God for sparing his life on that day.

 

Reading: Daniel 2 vs 22.

Morales of the story: God still speaks but the challenge is with whom He is speaking to—Isaiah 42 vs 19.  Again, jealousy is destructive and don’t let it into your life—Proverb 27 vs 4.

If you have not been hearing from God, take a time to examine your life and do well to pray for Spiritual perception and opening of ears.
