Some years ago, a man of God called Afolabi (not his real name), was a prophet in a remote village in Osun state.
Afolabi was annointed and so powerful, the presence of the lord was so mighty on him Afolabi, was that type of man that will embark on 40 days dry fast without changing clothes or shaving his beard for the entire fasting period
When you see him, his face shone. He carried the presence of the lord
Afolabi was about 40 years old. One day, Afolabi died unexpectedly
Everyone was thrown into mourning and confusion
"How can Afolabo die?"
"Is it that God doesn't have power to protect his own anymore?"
These were the questions in the mind of many
The village was known for deep occultic presence
Therefore, there were insinuations that demons killed him because through him, many were delivered from darkness
Many years after, God asked one man called Timothy, to go and start his ministry in that village
Timothy was scared to the bones, if Afolabi with all his annointing and power could die.... him that didn't carry such power and grace
Timothy was scared
Already, people were telling him that if he goes to the village, he would die
One day, Timothy decided to take the matter to the lord in prayers
Will God call him and not protect him
Then God revealed Afolabi's secret to Timothy
Afolabi was annointed and could fast like Jesus, but unknown to everyone
Afolabi was a serious adulterer
All those women trusting God for the fruit of the womb, all other people's wives.,.... Afolabi was filled with adultery
The adultery was what opened the door of his life to the enemy Timothy went to that village and through him, salvation has entered that village
I want us to look at our lives today
God is merciful, you can keep sinning and asking for forgiveness, you might even take God for granted
But you see the devil, he is watching you closely, monitoring you.
It is better, not to embark on the work of God, than to embark on it with sins in your hands
What sin is there in your hand?
Pride, lust of the eyes, lying, manipulations..... whatever it is, you are opening the back door of your life for the enemy
Ponder on it.
