She called him Man of God
He called her daughter
He was fifteen years older than her
He was a minister of the gospel
She was a lawyer
She had followed his ministry since the days she was a student at the University of Ife
He went to minister at one of the campus fellowships and

she saw the mighty miracles God did through him
When she got home she told her mother all about him
Her mother told her she ought to have taken advantage of the occasion to ask the Man of God to pray for her
Her mother told her she was a beneficiary of such a grace when she was

an undergraduate
Her mother said a minister of the gospel came to the University of Ibadan and some of her friends went for the programme and came back to the hostel screaming with awe
Her mother (She had slept off and didn't go for the programme) set out for the venue as soon as

her roommates were calm enough to tell her all the mighty miracles and signs they saw during the programme
When she got to the hall, the Man of God was still around
She went on her knees and he blessed her
Three days later, she met her husband at the recruitment event organized

some companies
She went hoping to get employed into the Nigerian Customs and she ended up falling in love with the recruiter sent to their school by the Nigerian Customs
Three years later she was happily married and had opened her ophthalmology practice.
She knew it didn't happen

by chance
She knew the grace of God was released upon her in the place of prayer and she was always grateful for it
She never attended the Man of God's church or met him again but that fateful day remained an encounter she could never forget
She reminded her daughter of this

story when her daughter told her about this man of God she met on campus who was walking in the supernatural
As soon as her mother reminded her of the story, she promised herself she would locate the man of God and get him to pray for her
She searched for his handle on the social

media and began to follow his movement
He was an itinerant preacher who travels a lot
She was sure the wind would bring him her was eventually, and it did
He was invited to minister in a church in Kano, she and her parents were living in Abuja
Her life was at a standstill at the

time
Even though she was employed in a law firm, her job was more like that of a personal assistant
She was earning stipends and there was no immediate prospect of advancement
She wanted to go for her Masters in law but the school she wanted was quite expensive and her parents

couldn't afford to sponsor her to England as she desired
She really needed a break
So she packed her bags, withdrew her savings, and took a flight to Kano to attend the ministration of the Man of God.
She got to the venue on time and the atmosphere was charged by the Holy Spirit

She waited until the man of God stepped down from the altar before approaching him
The ushers wanted to stop her but the Man of God motioned them to let her be
She fell on her knees just as her mother did
The man of God blessed her and left
By the time she got back to Abuja the

following day, a letter of employment was waiting for her from the chambers of a lawyer she met when she went to file some petitions
They had a brief chat and both of them went their separate ways
The meeting was over two years before that day
How the man still remembered her was

a mystery
She took the job and her fortunes changed
Unlike her mother, she sent her tithe to the ministry account of the man of God and became an online member
There are many pastors and prophets in Nigeria but her spirit clung to the man of God and his ministry
As the year 2018

was coming to an end, the man of God announced that he had been invited to Abuja to minister at a pentecostal church
She sent him messages immediately that she would like to see him during the event
He replied her by giving her an appointment but the event was jam-packed and she

couldn't even get a seat in the church
She really wanted to see the man of God but the people that brought him to the city kept his location secret and refused to share any information with her
A door of opportunity to study abroad suddenly opened in her new office, she was not

even qualified to apply because she was a new staff but she was sure if he prayed with her, she would get it
She was desperate and she tried her best but she wasn't able to see him before he returned to his city
Throughout that week she was not herself, by Thursday she picked her

phone and called the office of the Man of God
She told the secretary it was a family emergency
She said her family wanted to have a close of the year prayer meeting with the Man of God
She explained that his ticket fee and accommodation etc shall be taken care of
He just needed

make himself available for one day before the end of the year
The secretary got back to her after 30 minutes that December 27 was free
She booked the ticket & the hotel
The man of God came and blessed her family
By January 2nd, her boss decided to sponsor two people for the trip

to the UK
The one that had been chosen and her
Just like that
She knew what worked for her
Her parents threw a lavish party when they heard the news
The year had started on a perfect note
She traveled by September that same year
The lines had fallen unto her in pleasant places

She called and shared her testimony with the man of God
The Holy Spirit had specially ordained him to be a blessing unto her
She kept in touch with the ministry
She never missed a church service and she grew in the knowledge of Christ
She also began to pray in the spirit and by

the end of her first session, she was completely transformed
Then the Man of God was invited to minister in Wales
It was too good an opportunity to miss out on
She got on the first available train and got to the church a day before the programme began
She told the ministers of

the church that she was the advance party for the man of God
She sent the man of God a message and all the man of God did was send back a smiling emoji
He didn't travel with an entourage
She was his entourage, his protocol officer
The ministration went well
The man of God had

other meetings in the UK
They left Wales together by train to Cardiff
The man of God lodged into a hotel
She sat at the reception and acted as his PA
A lot of people wanted to see him
She worked all-day
When the last person left, he ordered food for the two of them
They ate and

she went home
(Her school and flat were in Cardiff)
The next morning, she had arrived to resume her PA duty
The number of people reduced some but she still worked all-day
While attending to people in a private room, she had access to his hotel room keys & all
Whenever he needed

anything from his luggage she would run upstairs to his room to get it
By that evening she was spent
When the last person left the private room, the man of God found her asleep on the chair at the reception
He woke her up and told her to go and take a nap in his room
He waited at

the reception until she came down later that evening
She went home
By the time she returned to the hotel the third day, there was nobody at the reception
The man of God was still asleep
She walked upstairs to his room and knocked
He opened the door and she walked in
It felt so

natural
They talked a bit
They ate
He joked and he laughed
She talked and he listened
At a point, she wanted to use the bathroom and walked right by him
His body brushed hers and she turned around
They kissed and clothes started splitting like the red sea
Somehow they got on the

bed and the man of God's hands began to do signs and wonders
She waited for him to finish it after the foreplay
The man of God couldn't
He busted into tears, hot tears
It was totally unexpected, anticlimactic and it made her feel self-conscious
She got up and dressed up and left

He never called her again
She never called him too
She stopped following his church online
She was angry for many reasons
Not because she didn't know he was married with children and what happened was wrong but because it felt like he rejected her
it made her skin crawl in shame

PS: She told me this story in tears
Many months after the incidence
They didn't have sex and yet she couldn't pray
She didn't feel like being close to God
She was just angry and she couldn't explain why
The Holy Spirit stepped in and helped her
He restored her to Himself
Glory!
