“ Three men dressed in Bee Keeping suits were fumigating a green farmland with a water-like liquid” Massai repeated Folabi’s word.

“ It was a trance, while we were praying” Folabi said.

“ Ok… Well I don’t know what that has to do with our situation, but I am sure there is a reason for that!” Massai said. He had learnt to keep revelations in mind as some might take years before fulfillment…

Anthony watched his skin wasting away. Right before him, without him being dead, his skin was turning to dust. The voice that was always mocking him kept at it, day and night. As he sat outside the cave house waiting for death, he kept praying silently..

“ God, I know what you are trying to do. I know this is a punishment. I know you want me to feel the pain of death gradually. Who was I to determine those who deserved to die?. Father forgive me for my zealously wrong approach. I thought it was wise to kill the evil politicians. Forgive me and though I know I don’t deserve to live, please let me at least make heaven. The thief at the right hand made it into paradise at the last minute. Please Father….. My father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name…”

The Shutdown gave Juliana the time and opportunity to lead Naito to Christ and to teach her the things of God…

“I never knew Christianity was this interesting! Thank you Juliana.. but why can’t God correct everything happening in the world?”

“ Most of the things happening in the world is as a result of man’s wrong choices, therefore we have to live up to the consequences..”

“Hmm… that reminds me… I keep seeing the witches in my dreams asking me to come back!”

“ Ok and?”

“ I told them I was no longer interested”

“ And?”

“And…. Nothing.” Naito said and Juliana knew there was more

“ No… believers don’t tell lies”

“ So believers can’t decide not to tell another person something they want to keep quiet about!”

“ It is better to be honest and say “There is a lot more I ought to say, but I choose to be quiet for reasons best known to me.”

“ Hmmm… Smart… so let me say it to you…There are things I ought to share with you, but I chose to be quiet about it.”

Juliana laughed …

“ Student proving smarter than her teacher…but as a more experienced teacher I can tell you what you are hiding from me.”

“ Take a guess!”

“ I am not guessing, but I know for a fact that when a person denounces a satanic group, the members will come back to entice the runaway member and should in case the runaway member refuses, they threatened to kill the person or their loved ones”

Naito became quiet.

“ How did you guess that?”

“ I didn’t guess, the HolySpirit in me told me”

“ They said they were going to kill you and Angie” Naito confessed

“ And you kept quiet about that? Naito you don’t keep quiet about things like that. You should have informed us about it so we can reinforce.!”

“ Reinforce? What’s that?”

“ We will need to set ourselves more on fire, so we don’t become victims. When they come looking for you or us, they must find fire around us..”

“ Ok…”

*******

Chief Larry and LARA sat in their room…

“ God is really the Master of the world, no business meetings, no international trips, nothing … Despite having billions in our account, we can’t spend it…” Chief Larry said

“ You are getting it, I got this realization weeks back…”

“ What are we going to do with all the money we have made?” Chief Larry asked looking absentmindedly at his wife.

*****

Folabi had called Stone and they agreed to do whatever the hospital decided was right. Stone wept.

“ I wish I didn’t let her go for the trip.” He said weeping “I am sorry about this.” Folabi said as tears flowed down. There was a knock at his door.

On Opening the door, it was Rejoice.

“I saw my mother!” Rejoice said

*****

Lucky, the chef looked around and when he realized that no one was in the kitchen, he spat into the main pot of white soup. He stirred it together and dished the soup for all those in the Airship…

The kitchen intercom rang suddenly…

Lucky jumped back in fear… He looked at the cell number calling, it was from the cell of the First king…

He suspected he had been caught…

“ You are not to give Ruth any of those prepared meals. Only give her water once a day. Am I clear?”

“ Yes, King!” Lucky said heaving a sigh of relief

“ When will the food be ready?”

“ In 15 minutes.”

“ Aiit”

The First king dropped the phone receiver. He was in the room with a Chief pr0stitut€ he had brought along.

They were headed to an island where they planned on staying for the days it would take for the earth to be consumed. As long as they stayed in the Airship, he knew they would be fine. Afterwards, a new government would emerge. They had loaded the new currency of the new world in their Airship.

“The New World is real….” he said to himself

******

“ You saw your mother? Where?” Folabi asked Rejoice

“ Yes… I was taking a nap and she walked close to me”

“ Ok?”

“And she said “Pray for me” Folabi became more confused…

“ Is that a sign your mother will survive

the virus? We only have till tomorrow morning to decide finally”

“ Let’s Pray!” Rejoice said with boldness…

“ Father, What is Islingbee Virus before you, it was created by him that was created. Therefore the Creator has power over what was created .” Folabi said

Folabi fell to the ground groaning to the Lord in prayer to please heal Ella…

Then the trance flashed before him again but this time understanding hit him.

The men who wore the beekeeping suits were fumigating the green farmland. Therefore taking Ella’s life as a Farmland, and Islingbee Virus was a form of contamination, what was needed was for God to fumigate Ella’s life.

“ Oh Lord my father disinfect Ella’s life of every form of Virus in the name of Jesus”… Folabi wailed

Rejoice also join in

“ Oh Lord my Father, If you take my mother away, you are still God… but Lord Show your power over Islingbee Virus and heal my mother. Disinfect my mother in the name of Jesus Christ”

“ God, I have always liked Ella…and this might be the reason; for me to have enough passion to rise for her in intercession… Lord With your water of cleansing disinfect Ella’s life. Fumigate her life”

Rejoice remembered one of the novels “ MY FATHER’S FARMLAND” by Opeyemi Akintunde which her mother had bought for her… She remembered the author likened people’s lives to farmlands. It, therefore, was making sense that Mr Folabi was praying that the Lord fumigate her mother’s life…

Hmm… her mother’s life ( farmland) had been infested by the Islingbee Virus therefore the angels of the Living God must fumigate or disinfect her life…

Folabi and rejoice prayed that prayer for hours till they slept off…

*******

Seun kept wondering where Rejoice was. Ever since her mother had been kept in the hospital, Rejoice had been sleeping in their hut…

She picked up the intercom in a bid to call everyone to find out if Rejoice was there, but the intercom was dead…

She picked up her phone but there was no network…

“ God, What is happening? Has the phone network companies also shut down already? My God! How will I talk to my kids?” Seun started pacing in the room.

“ God be with my children, God watch over them please” Seun Cried Softly in prayer as she didn’t want to wake Smart up…

Ella!

The name dropped in her heart..

“ Have you prayed for her, since she caught the virus?”

“ No… I thought it was a virus that will be cured medically?

“ Pray for her now!” She heard in her Spirit.”

****

Stone woke up suddenly, he felt like Ella passed by him…

“Ella!” He called

“Oh my God! I hope Ella is not dead” he reasoned and hot tears flowed down his face…
