TELL SISTER CHRISTIANA THAT HEAVEN HAS MOBILIZED A SEARCH PARTY FOR HER SAKE…
Oooh! I write this in tears…
I remember Sis Christiana very well… She was a spiritual pillar in the Scripture Union fellowship those days…
She was a fiery prayer warrior and a mobile blazer… Her zeal for God was unflinching and her commitment to evangelism was ‘something else’…
Her appearance depicted Holiness and her lifestyle portrayed Christ…
The period I’m talking about now was year 2003…
Sister Christi (as we fondly called her those days) never walked passed our house without holding a gospel tract…
She was so crazy for God that many ladies in our environment tagged her a-fanatic…
They found it difficult to believe that a lady of her age who was a paragon of beauty could be ‘wasting’ her time serving God instead of enjoying her life in clubs and flirting around with married men…
Guess what? I even joined the bandwagon of those who criticized her those days…
It wasn’t my fault… I was very much younger and I wasn’t born again then…
We called her names like ‘Holy Mary’, ‘Mama Jesus’, ‘Pretender’, ‘Carry-church-for-head’ etc…
Sister Christi was never moved; she kept the fire burning…
Those days there was no way you could walk pass Sis Christi’s family house at night without hearing her blasting in tongues…
She was a real treat to the kingdom of darkness and a light to her family…
Until an event played out that I can never forget…
She walked passed a neighbor’s house one day and the man came out and confronted her…
He called her all sorts of names and stretched his hand to her and said “let us bet, in few months time you will drop this your bible and start doing what other girls are doing in the streets”…
Sister Christi responded by saying “God forbid”, but she never knew at that moment a battle line had been drawn…
The host of hell had been mobilized to hunt her down with a price tag…
It happened like magic…
Few months after that incident we began to notice obvious changes in Sis Christi…
She began to dress different, talk different and act different… She even started hanging out with some bad girls in the environment…
We were all watching…
Sister Christi was no longer seen holding her bible and gospel tracts… She was no longer seen hanging out with her Scripture Union brethren or preaching the gospel…
We were still watching…
It got so bad that we started noticing some fine cars coming to drop Sis Christi at her house at nights…
We kept watching…
Sis Christi started dressing like a Jezebel and dating married men like other bad girls…
That was how we watched her rapidly decline spiritually until there was no trace of flames or even ashes upon her spiritual altar any more…
Today, she is nowhere to be found in God’s map…
Guess what? After her spiritual decline, that same man who had boasted to her, later hit his chest in pride and started telling everyone that his words had been fulfilled in Sis Christ’s life…
Aaaaah! Oh God! May the expectation of my enemies not manifest in my spiritual life!
Guess what again? Many of the Scripture Union brethren who were on fire for God the same way Sis Christi was burning for God those days are all doing exploits for the kingdom today after many years…
Some of them are general overseers of mega ministries; others are wives to general overseers… Some are itinerant evangelists; some others are business moguls and highly placed men/women in society today… but Sis Christi is still nowhere to be found…
Who knows if she would have been the Kathryn Khulman of this generation…?
As I remember Sis Christi this day, tears drops from my eyes…
Those days I was among those that were irritated by her zeal for God… I joined them to criticize her… but today, I have encountered the same God and have picked up the zeal Sis Christi dropped…
Aaaagh! Are you getting this at all…?
God forbid that after making ‘noise’ for Jesus preaching the gospel I will drop the fire and the yahoo boys of today will now be the ones burning for God tomorrow while I’ll be nowhere in God’s agenda…?
Aaaagh! Sisters, God forbid that the slay queens of today will take your position in the kingdom tomorrow…
What is it that is making you look away from the cross today…?
What is it that wants to pull you down and deprive you of your inheritance in Christ…?
It is time to wage war!
I refuse to quit on this journey… Baba help me!
Sis Christi could be anybody reading this post now…
Her story is a true life story… Heaven is still in search of her…
Let us not allow our own story to end like hers…
IT IS TOO LATE TO DROP THE Fire. CRY NOW
