3. The abrupt explosion.
This explosion happened exactly at our meeting spot, at the place we had just departed from. Did Captain also know about this?
Although it did really become nerve-racking to realize that the explosion was meant for our eradication; it was quite an eye-catching exhibition. To watch from far off, as the sky was magnificently garnished with the fire-works by night. This was somehow like the new year's eve. So right away I said to Captain, "This is an incredible night, but I think that we have left out something important." "Which is?" Captain questioned. "The dress code Captain, our dressing does not match with today's happenings.
Now if you will excuse me for a moment, I have a spare short-pant in my bag, and I think that it will add a bit of the taste in today's memories, do you mind if I go and put it on?" I requested. But Captain just smiled and looked away. And I said, "Thank you Captain." While I was still away, I could bridge with the conversation Captain had with the rest of the crew, so he said, "They are out for us, after the humiliation we brought on them tonight, they will not just let us be." "So what is the next move Captain?" Limpho questioned curiously.
"Chill and relax. This is the only mood we have for tonight; I have collected enough food for all of us, you do not need to worry about anything." Captain replied, while from the dim side I appeared dressed like a lost wild female dog, and I said playfully "Yah! Right. This is the chilling and fun night." However, instead of giving praise to my stunning looks, the whole crew was down with laughter. And said, "This girl has completely lost it." So I replied humorously, "This is my code after all." I said so firing them with a little wink.
It is ok to be a little crazy sometimes. Yet still, even if we try to be crazy we could never forget that we were still in the battlefield, our enemies were surely out for us somewhere, this time to brutally kill us, and we seriously had to prepare ourselves for their coming. So I said to Captain, "Now I can't lie to you. I am terrified." But he questioned calmly, "If today was your last, how would you want to spent it?" and I replied, "I would want to spend it in full harmony, doing nothing that I know my LORD would disapprove of, and to sing from the bottom of my heart, a song of praise to my LORD and savior JESUS."
"See now, do you understand why I had requested you to sing that song of praise then, also why I had volunteered to stay out for surrender? It was because I wanted you all to see that, when we are faced with death, it is beyond our power to control. That is why even if we try in every way to hide and protect ourselves, it still finds a way of invading in.
And like wise, when it is not in God's will for us to die, we can go through all kinds of torments and attacks, all kinds of accidents and storms, but we can never die. Therefore, with this kind of view do still consider it wise to keep worrying ourselves about anything? That is why we have to keenly guard our hearts from those worries and fears. By embracing our fades and failures.
You are the witnesses and can all testify of how many battles we have been into in this street, yet tonight became our first with victory. Why do you think this was the case? Ladies and gentlemen, let us cheerfully lead along the peaceful lives, nurture our spirituality and souls while living the rest of our dilemmas and ordeals for God to deal with. Do you get me?" Captain questioned. And all at once we replied, "Yes!"
"Until now I am pretty sure that you are all aware that is not wrong to be wealthy and famous, yet still we have restricted ourselves from such privileges; for we feared most when what we had inside us was defiled or was taken away from us. God does not owe us anything, and if we have chosen to suffer in this manner, let us do it joyfully."
The navy you all saw flying from above was, a sure sign of God honouring us for respecting Him for His role. Which was a decision to less worry about the things we should not be stressing ourselves about. Yet to my concern, I still think that His help was insignificant because, He would have just allowed us to die." Captain added a commend. "Well, maybe it is not too late for your dream to come true, because the people we have been waiting for are here." I said so showing Captain to the left. Where he saw a giant man in white and the rest of his crew surrounding us. Therefore, Captain questioned
"So you are all here now, and I am sure that you have heard what we said. I said that we are ready to die, but we can never form part of you. So do to us as you wish. But the man replied, "Oh! No man of the most-high, we are not here to harm but to protect you, you have mistaken us for your enemies." "To protect us? Who ordered you to do so because, we have never asked for any protection and safety, not even from our God." And the man replied, "Although it is in your choice to die for your God, it is not your responsibility to choose the kind of death you want to die with, also when."
"By the way, we have better of the news you would want you to hear from the Most-high." He commanded saying to us, "Tell them that I have seen and heard their love for Me. And how until the point of their own death, have persevered to reserve Me in their interior as a treasure. And to them now and in years to come. If they open up to new opportunities, I will give them power and dominion over everything."
However, Captain replied, "Tell the Lord we will only open up to any opportunity on earth for as long as He promises to PERSONALLY come and live on Earth here with us." "And what if He promises yes! Would you then quit being Lazaro's descendants?" the man questioned. And Captain replied, "I wouldn't call that quitting because, heaven would have shifted its position then, where God will personally be living with us instead of dwelling with us through His Holy Spirit. Which is the only end we have been keenly waiting for, to spend the rest of our lives, personally living with Him."
" Interesting! But before taking your report to Him, allow us to be among you so that when your enemies come again, they may find you armed because I am sure they are on their way, and this time they are more armed and more devoted to kill you than before… … …"
