Chapter 43
Lucifer stood toe to toe with Michael, and waited for his fallen angels to surround him….“At last we meet again Michael, and you’re all alone this time. No petty mortals to come to your rescue,” he sneered, drawing his sword slowly.
Michael waved off his elite who had come to his aid…it was as the Spirit had told him…he had to fight this battle alone…his angels were baffled as to why he refused their help.
“Well met Lucifer, and yet I am never alone,” said Michael grimly. The fallen angels that surrounded him gave him a wide berth…not many of them had ever escaped the wrath of his sword, bequeathed to him by Majesty himself.
It was rumoured that the Sword was the Sister Sword to the Sword of the Spirit that was given to every true believer…but no one knew for sure…except that when Michael wielded it in the power of the Spirit…he became unstoppable!
They began circling him like vultures…waiting for the opportunity to strike…Michael kept his eye on Lucifer, who in turn kept an eye on his fallen angels…they were waiting for some prearranged signal from their Lord.
It came suddenly as Michael feigned to his left…they instinctively attacked him from his right flank…but Michael had anticipated their move…he had been given foreknowledge by the Spirit.
They collided with themselves and inadvertently pierced each other viciously…they fell away with horrible screams, for they had damaged each other with their own weapons…therefore being gravely wounded and disabled they had no choice than to leave earth’s realm.
Lucifer recovered from his shock rapidly and squared off against Michael…it was just the two of them alone now…he toyed with the idea of sending for Baal, but knew that the Enemy of Darkness had to be kept busy so she didn’t put up an appearance here.
Lucifer suddenly grinned at Michael…”I beat you once Michael, in the Warrior Games before the Fall…remember? Well I can beat you again!”
Lucifer launched himself forward with his sword poised straight ahead…he had taken a few paces backward to give himself full momentum…he knew Michael’s weakness…unlike Lucifer who could summon a cloak of darkness, Michael could only be revealed in the light…unless the Spirit shielded him…and Lucifer didn’t think that would happen now…it would be cheating against the Lord of Darkness…two against one as the mortals would say…
Lucifer chuckled to himself as he covered himself with a cloak of darkness moments before he pierced his sword into the essence of Michael’s being…he would disable him for a very long time to come…
Kola heard someone call his name from afar off…it was urgent! But he couldn’t recognize the voice, nor could he see the person…the distance between them was too great…
You have to wake up and kick out!
Kola only wanted to sleep…he was really exhausted, but this person kept telling him to wake up and kick out.
Okay I will when I have rested a little while okay? Kola responded, trying to silence the voice that pestered him so much.
No you need to wake up RIGHT NOW!
The person had started yelling and Kola felt the beginnings of a really bad headache…
Okay okay okay! Wake up and kick out! I’ve heard you! He replied grumpily.
Baal positioned the scalpel steadily; pointing it directly at Kola’s heart…Dr Ekwueme’s hands were very steady and Baal was glad for that.
He raised the scalpel and brought it down straight into Kola’s heart.
Wunmi stood outside in the reception along with the others praying in tongues…she felt uncomfortable because of the premonition she was having…something evil was going on and she couldn’t quite place her finger on it…
Get past the nurses and go to the third room on the right…NOW!
Wunmi turned to the nurses and suddenly began to run…instinctively Maryi ran swiftly to cut off the nurses…she remembered what had happened when they had taken Pastor Adewusi to the hospital and Wunmi had broken through the knot of nurses trying to stop her…she must have received an instruction from the Spirit and Mary intended to help her fulfil it!
A tall nurse stepped in front of Wunmi just as she reached the door but Mary ran into her…
“Oh my God, I’m so sorry!” Mary apologised.
“You are trying to help her to get through abi! I will have to call security to send you people out, this is not allowed!” ranted the nurse.
“Please don’t do that, we are very sorry,” said Pastor Adewusi coming up to join them…but Wunmi was already gone.
Two things happened simultaneously as the scalpel held by Baal in Dr Ekwueme’s body plunged towards Kola’s heart…the door burst open jarring his concentration and swerving his hand slightly…just as Kola woke up and kicked out…the scalpel plunged straight into the space where Kola had been lying a moment ago.
Baal immediately left Dr Ekwueme’s body in great wrath at having been frustrated yet again by the Enemy of Darkness!
He hovered above the scene and watched as Wunmi pushed Dr Ekwueme aside and held on to her husband. Kola was breathing very heavily and still looking disoriented.
Wunmi pulled out the scalpel and turned to stare at Dr Ekwueme who was just coming back to his senses.
“What have I done?” he whispered in horror.
“Thank God you didn’t do anything. You were being manipulated by spiritual forces sir,” said Wunmi, trying to calm him down as the good doctor began to work himself up, pacing around the room.
Baal faded out of the scene…he had better get over to the battle…if he couldn’t do anything else here, then he could at least help bring Michael down!
Wunmi suddenly turned to face him…she could still see him…
“Baal, I bind you now in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, desist from now on in your manoeuvres against my husband and my loved ones. I forbid your presence and interference in our lives, for whatsoever I forbid on earth, is now hereby forbidden in heaven. Thus I confine you to the heavenly places until the time of your judgement.
With a howl…Baal departed from her presence…he should have left sooner…now he was compelled and constrained to return to the Heavenlies…the power of the Spirit constrained him from moving in any other direction…he had been forbidden on earth!
Do watch out for the Finale tomorrow!
