CHAPTER 25 – BATTLE OF THE BRETHREN

Battlefield Altar

I still haven’t recovered from what I witnessed that night..Because when the altar becomes a battlefield, no title, no mic, no position can stand…only truth will stand. A lot had happened in just a short period… witches confessing that they wanted to kill our Mummy G.O and initiate the children and teens… What will be left of the church if all of these happened. Also a whole Pastor Dan had said a lot.. Confession without a priest!

The emergency vigil was called “Repentance and Realignment.”

No choir ministration.
No guest preacher.
No praise night flyer with someone holding a mic and fire emojis.

Just plain.

A bare altar.
A gathering of tired saints.
And a pulpit waiting for fire or mercy.
Church filled up by 9 p.m.
Faster than usual.

Even people who don’t attend vigils showed up.

Nobody wanted to miss what might be the day heaven decided to speak back.

Daddy G.O. didn’t wear agbada…Just a simple white shirt and black trousers.He stepped forward slowly.

No protocol.
No intro.

He looked at us and said:
“We have grieved the Spirit.And if we don’t repent,our lampstand will be taken.”

Silence.

Then he removed his shoes.
“Tonight, the ground we stand on is not carpet… it’s judgment ground.
If your heart is not ready to change, please go home.”
No one dared move, we all stayed.
And Daddy G.O. knelt and led the first prayer.

“Lord, deliver us from ourselves. Deliver us from flesh..Deliver us from the Cain Spirit, Deliver us from our Altar being Cold, We are neither Cold nor hot… do not spit us out of your mouth.”

That was it.

People fell flat.
Elders. Ushers. Deacons.

Even I…
Mabel, the “hear-and-see-everything” PA…
I dropped on my knees and cried like someone who had just discovered her heart wasn’t as clean as her white gown.

Then it happened.

Around 1:14 a.m.

The air changed.

Not like a breeze.
But like a veil tore.

Suddenly, four people started screaming.

Different corners.

Different genders.

Deliverance broke out.

Not the kind where pastors shout “Out!”
No.

This was raw, altar-wide repentance.

By 4 a.m.,
We were not just weeping.
We were washed.
No one remained the same.

And the real revival?
Had finally begun.
Guess what! T.J was actually in church all through, but didn’t let anyone see her. It was when church closed, I saw her walk out of the children church. She had participated in the vigil from the children Church…

She wasn’t seeking Attention! She wasn’t looking for human Worship.. I needed to have a conversation with this lady. It was high time I did. I told myself.
The moment people noticed her, they rushed towards her and asked that she pray for them, she shook her head in the negative…
“Daddy has prayed for you… there is no other Blessing I have to release that he has not released upon you already. He is our father.”

I believe there was more she didn’t say, but I could read it from her eyes. I believe she wanted them to know she only came to light the church up, and now the Daddy G.O has been lit up, he was the best person to bless them. I was walking towards her to engage her in a conversation, because I was afraid I might never see her again.
It was as if she heard my thoughts.. she walked towards me and we met at the center…

“You are going to write about all of these.. I will see you on Sunday and all your questions will be answered!’ She said with a warm smile. She held my hand warmly..I felt a surge of fire…

God! I need this too..

All through out Saturday, I rehearsed different kind of things she was going to tell me and my reactions to them. Eventually Sunday came but it didn’t go as I had rehearsal it, it came with a mighty twist because even after revival breaks out, the accuser of brethren doesn’t rest.
