'GOD DOESN'T EXIST' BY MICHAEL CHIDIEBERE.

The bible says we should rebuke the devil and he will flee. But there are some devils that will refuse to be rebuked, there are some you will rebuke and instead of them fleeing, you will be the one to flee. 

  

There is this devil that lives at the outskirt of our street. Jack! The devil has a name o. His name is Jack. 

  

Jack is the wealthiest dog on our street. Nobody dey drag with am ooo. I wonder how people that live in the same compound with that dog sleep with their two eyes closed. 

  

You can imagine a dog that wears sneakers, blings, expensive wristbands, even eye glasses. Dog that has swag. 

  

If you've seen those dogs that have long pinky tongue, huge biceps, and black mouth, Jack was like that. In fact, Jack was so brutal that those other giant dogs don't like strolling through our street.   

  

There is this one he pursued one time into our compound. Everybody ran inside and bolted their doors. The dog he was oppressing was literally begging him to tamper justice with mercy. Baba refused o. You needed to see that dog receiving slaps. Na dat day I know say dog sef dey slap. 

  

Football will not kill boys dem. Yemi had warned me several times to stop coming to his place after 9pm in the evening. He lives in the same compound with Jack. 

The night I finally got to know that I am a descendant of Usain Bolt was the last time I went to watch Man-U match. 

  

Immediately I stepped into the compound it was Jack the greeted me first. Wahala! The Pro Max version of wahala is when Jack welcomes you into the compound by that time of the night. 

  

I should have respected myself and walked away. But village people did not allow me. I began to motion Jack to get out of my presence before I broke his leg. 

  

That was it. 

  

Jack leaped. Poor me JaPa! 

  

If you saw me running that night you would think I was doing so to win a marathon. 

It was only when people saw Jack trailing behind me that they understood what I was going through. Jack will never stop chasing you until you beg. I don't know how, but baba no send you ooo. 

  

I ran through every corner that I thought he wouldn't reach. For where. Baba said I will see whiiii. 

 

In those moments of running my last race for life, I remembered one dog like that that used to bully people anyhow. I decided to run through that area to see if the dog would be of help. 

 

When I got there, the dog saw Jack and ran inside. 😂

  

Brethren. I lost hope. I was running and confessing my sins because this devil refused to be rebuked. I was already seeing heaven. 

  

What more does heavenly race look like? 

  

As God may have it, I saw one church like that along the road. We don reach main road ooo. I ran inside and fell on the alter asking God to forgive me for rebuking a devil like Jack. 

  

To my greatest surprise, Jack did not enter the church. I thanked God. I sang songs of praise. I rested for over an hour. Then I headed for home, of course watching out for Jack. 

  

Ever since, anytime Jack sees me, na war. 

 

Me fa, I dey kukuma deh gallant. Before Jack knows it, pheeeeeuuum! Church one way. 😂

  

Church dey spoil im jazz. 

 

Na so I take turn born again oooo. 😂

  

Well, after all in all, only God is our refuge. When troubles arise, run to him and be saved. 

  

Shalom!
