71ST ARTICLE IN ALL.

I got this topic from @Chief_Mekus article and I also have a story to share about it too.

There lived a young man whose name was IDK. He was an orphan. His parents died when he was very young. He had a little sister called Binta. They both lived with their paternal grandmother after the parents' demise. A while later, they were sent to live with other relatives in the city. They were not very well taken care of so, both IDK and Binta made for the streets. IDK dropped out of school and joined a bad gang in order to get money for his sister's education.

He grew up to become the leader of his gang. He even involved the services of an herbalist to aid all their operations. His main work was to rob rich men. He and his gang had a very strong networking. One day, a preacher went to IDK's house to preach to him. He was surprised at the boldness of the preacher. The herbalist came in at that time to receive the objects of sacrifice for the next operation and to was surprised to see the pastor in the house. IDK defended himself and told the pastor to leave before he(IDK) returns. He left the house alone with both the herbalist and the preacher. He preached to the herbalist and he surrendered his life to Christ.

The next day, IDK went to the herbalist's house to complete the sacrifice for their next operation. The herbalist told him that being a new creature in Christ, he could no longer offer sacrifices. IDK became angry and told the herbalist that they would carry out the operation succesfully even without his support. On the day of the operation, they were to double cross a very rich politician who was carrying the sum of 1.5 million naira. The rich man had some security men with him and in the process of the attack, one of the security men was killed and one of the criminals was also killed while others escaped.

IDK decided to take revenge on the pastor who did not allow the sacrifice to be completed. On a Sunday morning, the pastor was in church, ministering when IDK's gang members entered the church and shot at the pastor on the pulpit. The whole congregation scattered and he was rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, the bullet was removed and that evening, IDK was asleep when he had a dream that some people were trying to shoot guns at him and he heard a voice saying Touch not my anointed.

The herbalist came in at the time he woke up. The herbalist already knew that he was the one responsible for the attack on the pastor. The herbalist warned him that touching the Lord's anointed is the greatest mistake he would ever make. IDK wondered what God could do to him for killing just a human being. The next call he got was that his sister in the university had run mad.

Binta was the only hope he had in life. He had put all this effort and all his money in his little sister so as to make her to be educated and become great so that he'll be able to live a better life in the future. He sought for solutions in many places and they all told him to go back and beg the person he offended. He had no choice than to go back to the pastor in the hospital. He begged for forgiveness from the pastor and God. His sister became healed but he was later arrested by the policeman for the crimes he had committed.

This is an assurance that God will always fight for His children.
