PRINCESS STORIES

EPISODE 17

Daniel was busy in the office when he received a call from an unknown number.

“We’d strike this evening. Make sure you provide the necessary information one hour before the agreed time of operation.” The speaker said and cut the call.

Daniel smiled mischeviously.

🌹12pm🌹

Belinda suddenly felt the urge to pray as she was relaxing in her office chair, lazily flipping through some documents. When she couldn’t resist the urge, she locked her office door as she wasn’t expecting any visitor for the day, opened to Gen. 11 and began praying as led.

🌹2pm🌹

It was break time in David’s office. He was about to head out to get something to eat at a restaurant close-by when he re-called a prayer he had prayed that morning with his wife before leaving the house.

“O Lord, deliver me from every evil work, in the name of Jesus.”
He sat back on his chair to pray.

🌹2:30pm🌹
There was a knock on David’s door.

“Yes, come in.” David said as Daniel walked in with an innocent smile on his face.

“Davidooo” Daniel hailed. David smiled and felt at ease.

“My long-time friend. How far na?” He asked as they shook hands.

“I’m fine o, wassup?”

“I’m good.”

🌹3pm🌹

Once again, Belinda feels a strong urge to pray. The urge she felt now seemed to be stronger and more urgent than the initial one.

“But God I don’t know what to pray.”

“Open your mouth and I will fill it up.” A voice within replied her thoughts.

“Not now Lord. I’m seriously busy please. I have to get this thing done in 30mins time.” Belinda said and continued her business.

🌹3:10pm🌹
Daniel and David could be seen laughing heartily at the office.

“Mehn, it’s been long we had a long gist. We’ve been talking for about half an hour now”

“Ehe least I forget, I had wanted to ask- around what time would we be going home today?” Daniel asked.

“Immediately we close of course.”

“You’d be passing Redmi Junction right?”

“Sure, that’s where I always pass when I’m going home. Why asking though?” David asked as Daniel smiled.

“Nothing, I guess I was just curious to know.”

“ Or you want us to hang out?”

“Nah, maybe some other time.” Daniel said and begged to take his leave.

“Car model: Toyota Corolla
Plate number: ABS 132-902
Colour: Black
Would be seen at Redmi Junction, at exactly 4:10pm” He texted.

🌹4pm🌹

Once again, Belinda felt an urge to pray. She would’ve waved it off since it was work-over and she’d pray at home, but the urge kept coming.

Again, she closed her office door and began to pray.

🌹4:05pm🌹

David walked out of the office building, heading towards his car.

“Mr. David.” He heard his name just as soon as he was about entering his car to take off.

“Yes, Mr. Raymond.”

“Good day Mr. David. I hope you don’t mind but is it okay if I ask you to drop me off at the junction close to my house?” Mr. Raymond made what seemed like a weird request to David. He glanced at his car parked not too far from him and stared back at him.

“My car? It just broke down now. I’ve been trying to see if I can fix it but I think I’d have to involve the mechanic. I can’t do that now, that would be tomorrow.” Mr. Raymond explained.

“Where would I be dropping you?”

“At T&D Junction.”
“T&D Junction? That’s exactly opposite of where I’m headed; and I want to beat the traffic so I can get home early.” David thought aloud

“Please Mr. David, just help me for today.”Mr. Raymond begged. After a few thoughts, he obliged and let him in.

🌹4:10pm🌹

Daniel was in his office.
He was instructed not to leave the office premises till the deed was done.
He glanced at his watch and wondered why he hadn’t gotten a feedback.

“I mean this is 4:10pm already.” He murmured to himself. Just then he heard a knock on his door.

“Sir it’s past office hours already.” His secretary announced as soon as he walked into his office.

“Yes I know. Drop the office keys, I’ll lock my office myself.” Daniel said. She handed over the office keys and left.
As soon as she was gone, he received a call.

“Where on earth did you say this Daniel guy is?!!!!”

“O Lord arise and set confusion amongst my enemies, like you did to the people in the tower of Babel, in the name of Jesus.” Belinda prayed fervently as she heard in her heart.

“At Redmi Junction of course.” Daniel replied.

“At which Redmi junction? We’ve been here for the past 5mins now and no show. Are you sure you didn’t give us the wrong information?”

“No I didn’t. Ah ah, what is happening? I’ve been close to this guy for over two months now to know he passes Redmi Junction to his house at exactly 4:10pm everyday. I even asked this evening to confirm.”

“Oga your confirmation is wrong abeg. We’ve been here for over ten minutes now and no show. Are you sure you’re not setting us up?”

MY COMFORT ZONE EPISODES 11-20

Belinda was stuck in traffic. After about ten minutes of go-slow, all cars were put to a halt as there weren’t making any headway anymore. To worsen the case, the traffic warden in-charge of the junction wasn’t around.
Belinda made great use of this opportunity to concentrate on the prayer ringing non-stop in her heart.

“O Lord arise, and set confusion in the camp of my enemies, in the name of Jesus.”

“Setting you up??? For God’s sake, why would I do that?” Daniel asked bewildered. He immediately cut the call and decided to phone David.

“Hello Davido, how far? Where you dey now now?”

“Omo I dey traffic jam o….na wetin I wan avoid today be this.”

“Traffic jam? Asin you don pass Redmi Junction?”

“I no follow that side again jare. I drop Mr. Raymond for T&D junction so I dey follow the filling station side as shortcut to my house.” David sad and immediately the call dropped.

“God! What kind of a human being is David already?” Daniel said, hitting his fist on his steering as he thought of the next action to take.

“Hello, I just called him now, he’s at the T&D filling station. He’s stuck in traffic, so we can still catch up with him.”

“O lord arise, set confusion in the camp of my enemies, in the name of Jesus.” Belinda prayed hard. It felt like the more she prayed, the greater the tension she felt. Just then, her thoughts flashed back to the dream her daughter had of her husband.

“Is someone trying to stab my husband at the back today? God please don’t allow it to happen please. My husband mustn’t die untimely.” Belinda thought aloud before resuming her prayers while still stuck in traffic.

“God this is exactly what I had wanted to avoid today.” David said frustratingly as he has been in traffic for over 20mins now.

While ruminating on where he would’ve been if he hadn’t obliged to drop Raymond, his thoughts went back to the brief discussion they had had.

“Wow, this is a praise cassette. Do you listen to it often?”Raymond had asked as he took up a disk lying at the radio section of the car.

“Yes I do.”

“Oh wow nice. I never knew you were a Christian really. I always see you as someone who isn’t a religious fanatic at all.”

“Well, you’re right about that. I’m not a religious fanatic, neither do I practice religion. I only believe there’s one God and try the much I could to please him.”

“Hmmm….well that’s God. So you pray then?” Raymond asked and David nodded in response.

“Can we share a word of prayer then? I mean, since we’re less busy and in this traffic.” Raymond suggested. David obliged.

“O Lord we thank you for today. Thank you father for your word says……” Raymond paused in the middle of his prayer

“Hmmm….thank you for your word says you will deliver us from every evil work, Lord I ask this evening that you deliver your son here from every evil work, in the name of Jesus.” Raymond prayed. David was at the verge of opening his eyes and asking Raymond how he got that prayer point but maintained his cool

“But how did he know about it? Or did he watch that evening programme that day too?” David asked himself.

While whispering the same prayer to God, the traffic soon got to clear

“O thank God!” David clapped joyfully

🌹4:30pm🌹

Daniel’s phone rang loudly as he drove out of the office premises.

“We lost him.”

“What? What do you mean by ‘we lost him?’”

“And what do you mean by that question???”

“Look I paid you heavily to get this job done, I’m definitely not interested in your cock and bull story.”

“Listen old man, you had your part to play to get this done but you failed woefully at it. How on earth do you expect our operation to be successful when you provided us with the wrong information in the first place?”

“How dare you accuse me of such a thing? I was sure of…..” Daniel said but realized the call had ended.

“Curse it!! David you may have gotten away this time, but you won’t be so lucky next time I promise you.”

What prayer can do……please do not neglect the “urge” you feel to pray for your spouse, yourself or your family, especially in quite odd places, as the case may be. You never can tell how far those prayers can go.
