The Spice

The Spice

He woke up one morning
Hugs his wife and three children
Told his wife he had a pleasant 
surprise for her
Gave the wife a huge cheque
"The money is for your parents, 
God said I should bless them"
The wife was overjoyed!
He told the wife to buy some goodies 
and travel home
The wife took off two days later 
with the three children
The driver drove them to the village
They planned on spending the weekend
Her parents were overjoyed
Their son-in-law has extended a 
hand of love to them
The money he sent was enough for
 them to build a house in the village
The wife set out from the village on 
Sunday afternoon
The village was five hours away 
from the city
They got home around 7 pm to meet
 an empty house
The loving husband she left behind 
was gone
She started making calls
What could have happened?
Where was the father of her children?
Her husband was a pastor
Well, not just a pastor but the 
General Overseer of a young upwardly 
mobile ministry
The ministry started when he was an 
undergraduate
He was a vibrant, Holy Ghost filled 
minister of the Gospel
He was born to preach
She was one his his earliest members
It took the church seven days to 
locate him
He had moved in with a sister in the 
church choir
The sister joined the church less than 
a year before then
Nobody was quite familiar with her
It was a church member that saw the 
pastor in one obscure area at the 
outskirts of the city
When they eventually tracked him down
He said he was no longer interested in 
his family and ministry
He had found the purpose of his destiny
It lied in between the thighs of the 
choir member
She was the refreshing water from the 
well by the gate of Bethlehem David 
longed for
Everybody knew Pastor has boarded a 
bus heading straight for Meggido
How could this have happened?
The church leaders sat with the wife
How did this happen?
The wife was short of words
She said all they had ever known 
was ministry
They got married early and life rushed 
in fast
Ministry was demanding, so we're the 
children and the responsibilities
They drifted apart a little
Sex became boring and adventurous
She was the one that suggested a threesome
She learnt it could help the imagination
She just wasn't feeling the sex anymore
Everything felt flat
So she told a friend
The friend told her about the new sister in 
the choir who used to be a sex therapist
They did a threesome
He was reluctant and she was sceptical
But they had to try something
Spice things up a bit!
It worked
He grew into it
He was happier and so was she
The turn of events was unplanned 
unexpected
How could he abandon everything to 
live in a slum with a slut?
Church members were disappointed
Many left
Like Samson, their pastor was a sinner, 
he broke the edge
The serpent had swallowed him
The church was in disarray
Misery!
Within three months, the church 
was dead!
His wife, battling guilt and single 
parenthood was frustrated
She reached out to the Brother in 
Jeans and T-shirt
'Your brother is lost' she cried
They met and she opened up
"It was my fault but I believe he can 
be restored, please help!'
They went to the slum on a Sunday morning
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt didn't 
know such a place existed in the 
biggest city in their country
The stench of the slum was the death 
of the imagination
It had to be abnormal to leave opulence
 and choose to live like a sewer rat
They got to the house
It was a room
There was a net door
The lady was outside the room washing plates
As soon as she saw his wife, she 
dropped the plate and ran into the room
She wanted to lock the door but the 
brother in Jeans and T-shirt pushed the door
She shifted ground
"I will call the police for you! I didn't 
invite you into my house!"
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt ignored her
He stepped into the room
He saw his brother, the pastor
Lying down on the mat, starring into 
space like someone in a trance
"How have the mighty fallen"
He wept!
His wife started crying too
It was not a sight to see and be calm
It was like seeing Samson without 
His hair and eyes
It was the sight of a fallen star
"My brother, the Holy Spirit said it is 
time for us to fellowship together, let 
us go" The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt said
He got up immediately
"Can I dress up or can we go like this" he asked
"We are leaving Sodom and Gomorrah 
behind, we will take nothing with us" replied 
the Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
The lady called his name
He looked at her, shook his head and they left
No drama, no struggle
When they got to the office of the 
Brother in Jeans and T-shirt
They fellowshipped
The pastor, his wife and the Brother in 
Jeans and T-shirt
Praying in the spirit for three hours
His wife couldn't stop weeping
After some time, the Holy Spirit took 
the pastor over
Power surged!
With his own mouth, he declared his 
freedom and prophesied his restoration
When he was done
The Brother in Jeans and T-shirt agreed 
with him
The pastor embraced his wife and 
returned home
The ministry began again from the 
scratch
It's been five years
Happy Birthday, MoG!
