He wrote: So, again in 2017, simply after my NYSC, I used to be touring to Lagos from Abuja to see my household. As a few of you might already have the ability to inform, the journey was actually an extended one. Omo, that route is one my most dreaded ones due to the gap.

We began out from Abuja very early within the morning (I feel round 7 am) however spent the complete day and night time on the highway. In actual fact, it turned out that by 1 am the next day, we had been nonetheless on the highway, primarily as a result of the bus saved breaking down practically each 1 hour.

Naturally, I used to be very drained. Everybody on the bus was drained. However, I used to be in contact with my household all through the journey. 

Finally we bought to Ibadan by 2 am. I referred to as my dad to tell him that I used to be now in Ibadan. This was one thing I all the time did; I normally knowledgeable my household at any time when I bought to a brand new metropolis as we journeyed onward.

When my father realized I had reached Ibadan, he advised me to not proceed the journey to Lagos anymore because it was 2 am already. As a substitute, he requested me to get off the bus and go meet a good friend of his, Anthony, who occurred to dwell in Ibadan on the time. The plan was for me to spend the night time at Anthony’s home then proceed on my method to Lagos by dawn. This sounded good to me as a result of I used to be already bored with the bus I used to be in.

My father referred to as Anthony after which despatched me the person’s quantity. Shortly after, Anthony himself referred to as me and directed me on the right way to meet him. 

We finally met and this was the place the issues started.

See, I used to be anticipating to be taken straight to Anthony’s home so I may get the sleep I used to be deeply eager for, as a result of I used to be actually drained. My tiredness sef don tire at that time. However, as a substitute of taking me to his home, Anthony, who was fairly huge, like Cubana Chief Priest, advised me he was at an evening vigil and subsequently, I must  observe him to church to participate within the vigil. Bro, did not you hear that I have been on the highway all day? I am unable to freaking go to an evening vigil!!!

Anyway, I had no selection however observe the person. Anthony took me straight to his church and requested me to sit down wherever I preferred and participate within the prayers. Omo, wetin concern me, I simply discovered a nook of the church, sat down then promptly slept off. Make dem simply pray for me abeg.😒

By the point I awoke, it was virtually 6 am and these individuals had been nonetheless praying. I could not consider it. How lengthy had been they going to maintain praying? Ah, Pele o. Prayer warriors! 

Anyway, I started to get myself able to proceed my journey. It was already dawn, by the best way. Finally the church rounded off the prayers. This was about .

It was round this time that Anthony got here to seek out me the place I used to be sitting. He requested me to return with him instantly, with a be aware of urgency in his voice. I puzzled what this urgency was for. I adopted him anyway. Anthony took me exterior the church and knowledgeable me that he spoke with the pastor about me and that the pastor needed to hope for me. 

Ah, pray for me? Okay o. Nicely, who am I to not desire a man of God’s prayer?

The pastor quickly got here out of the church and walked proper to the place I used to be standing with Anthony. Instantly, about three ushers rushed to the place I used to be and promptly stood behind me. I do not forget that considered one of them unusually appeared Iike Don Jazzy. I puzzled if Michael Collins had a brother that was a church usher.

Anyway, I immediately understood what was occurring. The pastor was going to hope for me and I used to be anticipated to fall down. When this “falling below the anointing” occurs, the ushers behind me would then catch me.

With out saying an excessive amount of, the pastor launched into the prayer and positioned a hand on my head. At first the prayer began slowly, then the pastor finally ‘entered gear 2’ and his as soon as rose larger. At this level, his hand was starting to maneuver towards my head a bit extra roughly virtually like he needed to push me backwards.

Earlier than I knew what was taking place, the pastor pushed me actually onerous and mentioned “Obtain it!” The push was actually onerous however it was not onerous sufficient to knock me off my toes so I remained standing. This appeared to startle the pastor somewhat as a result of he paused for a second earlier than persevering with the prayer. I opened my eyes a for a bit and noticed a glance of close to disgust on his face. I did not actually perceive what that look was for, although.

Anyway, he continued his prayer once more and this time, he pushed me even more durable. I remained standing nonetheless. He pushed once more however I saved standing. At this level, the pastor handed his Bible to Anthony who was standing beside him then proceeded to position each his palms on my head. 

This time, the prayer was louder than ever. He was casting and binding each spirit of stubbornness from me. I used to be shocked what he meant by ‘stubbornness’. I had by no means been recognized to be cussed. 

Anyway, he pushed me this time with each palms and the drive was actually robust however not robust sufficient to knock me flat on the bottom. I puzzled why he saved pushing me like that. 

After some time, he pushed me very onerous once more shouting “obtain it!” This time, he pushed me so onerous that it really pressured my toes to maneuver again a number of steps. I seen that the ushers behind held on to me and tried to tug me to the bottom, however I resisted. I puzzled what they had been doing. Minister of Defence sef no do go like that.

This was when all of it dawned on me. The pastor needed me to fall down. As a result of by falling down, it could imply his prayer had labored. If I did not fall down, it could imply he did not have any energy and this could be deeply embarrassing for him.

I opened my eyes and appeared on the pastor. The look of disgust was nonetheless there on his face. He appeared like he needed me to fall instantly so the prayer might be over and he can be free to go house after that lengthy night time vigil.

I smiled. I knew the pastor desperately needed me to fall. I felt some pity for the person so, I made a decision I used to be prepared to provide him what he needed. 

I waited until he touched me once more. The second his hand touched my head when the prayer started once more, I pretended to convulse just like the individuals I normally noticed in a number of viral deliverance movies I had seen earlier than. After convulsing for a number of seconds, I let myself fall backwards whereas the ushers behind me grabbed me and gently let my again contact the bottom.

Whereas doing all these, I struggled onerous to maintain myself from laughing out. What shocked me was once I heard the pastor say “I’ve simply felt advantage go away my physique. He’s free. He has been saved”

Saved keh. Bro, nothing do me o, I simply fell down to save lots of you from embarrassment ni.

Anyway. Couple of minutes later, I stood up from the bottom and shook palms with the pastor and Anthony who congratulated me for my profitable deliverance. I puzzled what I had been delivered from.

I continued my journey to Lagos shortly after. However that reminiscence nonetheless stays with me to this present day.
