By Favour Ifey
“Sister Ngozi,sister Ngozi,wait na, don’t go, you’re walking too fast, please wait” Bro Martins said as he ran after Sister Ngozi who paid him no attention.
Bro Martins is one of the Choristers,he was quite talented,he had good looks,and was quite intelligent.
He and Sister Ngozi had been in an amoral relationship,and quite a number of times had he tried to get Sister Ngozi to marry him,but the latter wanted nothing to do with him maritally.
After the revival evening, everyone including Bro Martins,had gone home shaken.
Bro Martins had shed genuine tears of repentance,and wanted to live aright again.
The first thing he decided to do was break the relationship he had with Sister Ngozi. He had had sexual dealings with her,and was not willing to continue with the relationship. He wanted to start on a clean slate with God.
Bro Martins invited Sister Ngozi to the church via phone call.
Sister Ngozi who was wondering when Bro Martins started meeting with her in the church,honoured his invitation.
She had been unprepared for the shocker,but she wasn’t too shaken.

She didn’t like Bro Martins anyways,and wanted him only for the money he showered her with.
She had demanded for explanations from him,and the only reason Bro Martins could give was that he was trying to obey God’s instructions.
Sister Ngozi had stormed off, without listening to anymore words from Bro Martins because she thought he had fallen in love with another lady,not that she cared anyways,there was a bigger fish in the Church that she had been aiming to catch,and that was Pastor John
“You know,I won’t be surprised if Pastor John chooses Sister Sharon as his wife,that woman is becoming too frequent in his Office” Sister Blessing said.
“Noo,I doubt the possibility of that,what does Sister Sharon have that I don’t??? “Take a good look at me and tell me if any man would dare try to resist me” Sister Efe replied as she turned around for Sister Blessing.

Sister Blessing looked at Efe with disdain,she shook her head,and didn’t bother giving a reply to Sister Efe’s statement.
Sister Blessing and Sister Efe were on their way back from an evening programme in the church. They lived in the same house,but different rooms,not too far from the Church,and so trekked back home after every Church service.
They were friends as well as Corp members,they also taught in the same Secondary school as their Place of Primary Assignment.
Every single Sister in Olive Dial Ministries wanted to get close to Pastor John.
He was an unmarried,cute,anointed man of God,and so was the dream man of almost all the women in the church.
On Sundays,every sister dressed their best,in order to be noticed by the Head Pastor,all to no avail.
It had turned to a competition,every of the sisters always tried to out do themselves when it came to telling testimonies,all the singles suddenly became testimony givers, because it was an avenue for them to twist their tongues,and shower accolades to the man of God,who at most times, didn’t even have time to listen to the testimonies.

Pastor John was unaware of whatever pressure his unmarried status was laying on the single sisters in his church.
He had also gone into prayers,as pertaining who to marry,and had been put in the waiting room by God.
Sister Sharon,who was the Church Choir Director had a very huge Liking to the Head Pastor,she had dreamt countlessly of her getting wedded to Pastor John,and had even broken up with her Fiance because of the dreams.
Her Fiance,who didn’t understand her reasons for calling their wedding off,begged to no avail,but her mind was made up.
She had resolved to get closer to Pastor John either by hook or by crook,and she was getting quite Successful,she had taken up the job of cleaning the Head Pastor’s office,even though cleaners had been designated for the Job,and she always ensured Pastor John met her in the office.

Pastor John’s phone wouldn’t stop buzzing of messages,he was always getting anonymous messages of Sisters, dreaming of getting wedded to him.
He was tired,he didn’t know this aspect of being an unmarried minister would be so tedious.
He wished God would answer his prayers and show him his wife,so that his marriage would put a stop to all the troubles from the ladies.
His constant prayer was not to fall,and he was always very careful with his dealings towards the females because he knew what the devil was capable of.
He had strongly warned Sister Sharon from cleaning his office,after noticing the game the lady was trying to play,and that had put a temporary stop to Sister Sharon’s Obsessiveness with the Pastor.
Almost every lady wanted Pastor John,ALMOST.
But there were three firebrand ladies,who didn’t.,they were,
Sister Bunmi,Sister Mmesoma,and Sister Bintu.
One of which would be Pastor John’s wife.
Who would be the chosen one??
