BEFORE ACT ONE Satan is in a counsel meeting with his 12 top secretaries.

They are planning strategies in the last days. Sat Secretary for the committee of secretary are you here? S.C.S Yes Sir . Sat Read out the register.

Sat Are all the 12 of them in? If yes I want you to read to us in turns, what you have achieved and scheming to achieve in these last days. Fretting and Infirmities are you there? The assembly is ready to hear you. S.F.I Thank you sir, as you know already we work by the spiritual strategy. Through fretting we create and spread infirmities and through infirmities we fan up the flames of fretting, worrying and distrust in God: In these last days, sir we are working on the sons of men especially the saints into a constant state of haste; Patient endurance is equal to unbelief, lack of faith and spiritual weakness. As such a little delay or effort to get him to move by Gods timing results in heartaches and backslidings. By the way that is just beside the poInt As our major programme we are presently doing our best to infiltrate the Christian churches with our H.I.V infested girls who will go and spread the A.I.D.S virus in the churches. Some will go and pretend to be born-again, join the church and get married to a serious brother and even possible to a Pastor. A .I. D.S must get into the churches at all cost. You can trust my secretariat to achieve it.

Secretary for unforgiveness and bitterness how is the going. S.U.B Dear sir, as you know we are strategically positioned in the kingdom to perpetuate strife, war, bitterness pain and also obstruct the prayers of the saints preventing the blessing of God from reaching both the saints and the world. Our job is in two phases 1 ST against the world and then against the church. As long as we are able to get the saints to neglect their responsibility of prayer for the leaders of their nations or even render their prayer ineffective through internal rifts the fire of civil and ethnic strife will continue to blaze around the world. As at now kingdoms are rising against kingdom i.e. People of varying political eclogues or ethnic backgrounds are fighting each other but that in all within the same nation. We are presently working hard to get nations to rise against nations. As long as families, churches and any assembly of Christians wont humble themselves and walk in forgiveness all their praying is in vain and the blood of men is really going to flow because nothing provides a better seat for the reign of darkness more than unforgiveness, bitterness and pain. Sat Secretary for culture and laying of stumbling blocks brief us on your current activities. S.C.S.B. Thank you sir, I am glad to inform your excellency and the entire counsel gathered here that I and my secretariat have not relented at all in our effort to impede the advance of the gospel through culture adulteration. Infact these days we are not using mere stumbling blocks but also planting spiritual land mines which stepped upon could either destroy a life or render the victim maimed forever. Sir, it is the prime goal of my department that by the time He who restrains us from fully expressing ourselves through men is taken out of the way, human society must fully accept that the modern and civilised woman is the one who is able to pose nude on the streets. Sir, we are very determined to work on mans depravity to the point where without a sense of shame nor guilt of conscience he wholeheartedly calls black, white and white, black. Before the advent of the rapture, beach wear should be a normal and acceptable outfit for women on the streets and even in some churches. And if we are able to hit this target then you can believe that by the time after the rapture we can get men to sin openly without shame like dogs. Your excellency I dont want you nor the assembly gathered here to underrate our ability to achieve this objective in any way. I would have you all to remember the fact that not too many years ago only lunatics and the demon possessed fetish priest used to leave their hair in RASTA fashion. Then I told this assembly that my secretariat was in the process of projecting highly concentrated imaginations into the minds of men which will make leaving ones hair unkempt or Rasta something nice and acceptable. Though some of you doubted me then, today you yourself bear witness to the fact that presently the number of the sons of men who have voluntarily left their hair unkempt i.e. the rastafarians far out number those who by virtue of madness or fetishism have their hair as rasta. Again I want you to remember how I could manipulate human depravity to the point of making even the university student strip themselves naked and defecate before onlookers in the craze of winning the title of chief vandal. And today I am telling you that bikini wear, strip teasing and teasy beach wear are all going to make way for perfect nudity in the streets.

2 But currently in collaboration with the rulers of the darkness of the world of fashion whose headquarters is at Paris we are importing in a lot of foreign and unacceptable outfits to the 3RD
2

World Countries, and through the self adoration, even those who preach the gospel cant help planting land mines in the way of their hearers. Sat Secretary for Selfish Ambitions and Rebellion, let the assembly know what you are doing. S.S.R. Well sir, as they are also aware that we are in the last days I mean the Christians, I and my secretariat are doing our best to possess them with a hasty and rush spirit. We are ringing the do something before you die bell strongly in their imaginations. As their God given gifts begin to manifest in any measure, we havent been slow to send our manipulating agents who through flattery and much adulation get them to think of themselves more highly than they ought to. We do not end it there. Imperfect as they are, men, even the saints are bound to offend each other as long as they are together. Once we have them in that puffed up state, the least offence which is naturally evitable can easily result in a breakaway or rebellion. By breaking away we make them fancy highly, the idea of also being called president and founder. Sir, we have already through this method disintegrated many mighty battalions of the armies of the saints into weak groups. Sat Secretary for Misinformation and Discords, what do you have for the assembly. S.M.D Thank you sir. In view of the current confusions and breaks in the kingdom I dont think I have to say much to convince your excellency and this noble assembly. Simply put the main strategy of manipulation that my secretariat employ is work anti biblewise. Now as an example, this is what the bible says in Prov. 26:20 where there is no wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no talebearer, strife ceases. Now we turn it the other way around and do warfare by the resulting principle. i.e. WHERE THERE IS WOOD, THE FIRE DOES NOT GO OUT AND WHERE THERE IS A TALEBEARER STRIFE IS UNCEASING. Also check this principle at Prov. 16:28. Infact we call that a perfect principle because we dont have to alter its settings before using it. Though it is suppose to warn the saints we take it as an instruction to work with. A perverse man sows strife, And a whisperer separates the best of friends. So sir in a nut shell through talebearing, whispering, slander, gossiping, evil, vain and foolish speaking we are constantly creating discords in their midst. Sat Secretary for vain amusement and self love, we are ready to hear you. S.V.A.S.L Sir I and my department are not doing anything more than trying to fulfil the last days prophecy which states that in the last days men shall be lovers of pleasure and themselves rather than lovers of God as found in 2Tim 3: 1-4. Sir, we are working around the clock to tide men with vain amusement and worldly entertainment. Through the proliferation and multiplication of entertainment we are keeping the unbelievers in the state where the thought of eternity is put far away from their consideration. 3 As for the believers our real enemies, through that same method we are getting many of them to gradually substitute sensual gratification for God on the seat of their affections, thus reducing their Christianity and Prayer to Powerless decorations. Believe me Sir so successful has this secretariat been that even some Christians who are thought of to be very staunch will
3

rather cut Church and Prayer meetings in order to watch a movie, drama or a football match on TV. Sir, as long as the eye is not satisfied with seeing and they are also not ready to die to self you can be sure that through the twin weapons of the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes we are really making a big harvest for hell. Sat Secretary for Abstract Religion and Vain Philosophy speak now. S.R.V. Master before I come to that let me first share with you about how we have intensified our attacks against the ministries. Through the twin spirits of complacency and frustrations we have managed to take the wind out of the sails of most of them. Slowly but surely, we are managing to get them to substitute the Gold of true Spiritual worship with the rusty bronze of fruitless fleshy demonstrations. As long as they are not content with what they are but longingly believe they must be like that other popular minister, they dont care what means they adopt to achieve their end. So many of them dont believe they are anointed unless people fall under the power when they lay hands. So in the place of proper slaying we have got most of them to rather push with physical might to get them on the canvas. We are doing our best to always distract them with funerals or entertainment at the weekends. We have also managed to immune the unbelievers to open - air crusade and altar calls. As for the believers we have made their mouth and tongues so heavy that majority of them will not even move a tongue to witness. More so through their pride we have managed to get many of them to find preaching the gospel a contemptible exercise and not dignifying at now the majority of people who are doing house to house witnessing, teaching and sharing tracts in homes, offices and the road-side are our own good friends who dont even believe that man has a spirit. We have managed to get them to pervert the scripture into teaching that there is no difference between a man and an animal after death as though animals too are accountable to Gods commandment. Also by teaching that there is no hell, they are doing a good job of searing the conscience of people against the conviction of guilt. But as for the real Christians we have very few of them witnessing; they themselves wont do it because they are ashamed of being mistaken for Jehovahs Witnesses. Sat Evil Competition and Vain Glory, is the secretary present? let him speak. S.E.V. Your excellency, prince of darkness and members of the inner core. I am glad to inform this assembly of the success of our activities especially in the sphere of national politics and also in the true Christian Churches. We have so far done a good job of playing on mans ego, getting them conceited and bringing them to a speedy fall. We make them esteem their credit with man more than divine approval. By playing on their ego we get them to readily accept and embrace any cheap and even diabolical means if that will catapult their inordinate desire to be called the greatest. Like the secretary for Abstract Religion said, some of them are not interested in anything more than just seeing people fall when they lay hands. 4 Because they will then be thought of as powerful and great. Because of this these days we send most of our girls to their deliverance and Holy-Ghost meeting who feign all kinds of manifestations aimed at ballooning the ego of those ministers who just care for that. Through promoting evil competition and vainglory, self aggrandisement, has become the order of the day. they have left of the real, true, eternal and lasting for the flashy, temporal and vain. We are doing our best.
4

Sat Secretary for Evil Suspicions and Distrust the assembly is ready to hear you. S.E.D Thank you sir, well sir before now I thought I was going to bring you the best of news. In collaboration with the secretary for Misinformation and Distrust, Immortality and Perverseness, Culture adulteration and laying of Spiritual land mines we had almost accomplished the great assignment you gave us to destroy the Pastor of Love Ablaze Int and his congregation for all the trouble he gave us 25 years ago when he started that Church. Infact boss everything had worked almost perfectly until that present pest and current menace to our kingdom Rev. Weststone Abana came into contact with them. I presently have on video a detailed recording of our activities in the Church until trouble begun. I would like to show it to all present to see what you think can be done further.

SAMSONS HAIR GREW AGAIN.

ACT 1 SCENE 1 (At a meeting with board members)

Rev. N.L.

Since this great Church of mine was founded we have never held an evangelistic crusade. These days every Church is having a crusade, preaching on the air and having all kinds of meetings. I think it is about time L.A. Int joined the train. Mrs Slandora what do you say about it? Mrs Slandora Rev. I agree with you perfectly. I believe we must also do something to announce our presence in the community; besides we should let the other Churches know we are also capable of staging a crusade. Pastor I agree. Bro. Critico You know Pastor I have even had a vision and 4 dreams about it already. Pastor it is long over due lets go ahead. You mentioned it just when I was contemplating on disclosing the dream to you. Rev. N.L. Bro. Dan how are we going to go about with preparations. Bro. Dan Well Pastor, since this is basically a major spiritual undertaking I suggest we begin by setting aside a few days or possibly a week in prayer and fasting for the Lords help and then we begin assembling the necessary logistics. (Eyes go around) Miss Litigranda cuts in (very fat) Miss Litigranda A week of fasting? eei why Dan, do you mean to kill us and take the Church? Well I dont even have to complain much since my good ulcer exempts me from such perilous exercises. Bro. Critico You see Bro. Dan a week of fasting before a crusade is too tasking. You know we are all very busy people and therefore might not even make enough time to pray thus rendering the fast ineffective. Rev. N.L. You people should bear with Dan, You know he is young in the faith and full of youthful exuberance, with age and maturity he will come to understand how unimportant and dispensable these things are under the grace. Many times I have told Dan we are no longer under the law but under the grace.

Dan But Pastor.......................... Rev. N.L. Be quiet Dan and listen, I know you are going to mention the fact that Jesus said when the bridegroom is taken away then it will be time for the guest to fast, but also remember the fact that Jesus said he is with us always till the end of the age. Dan I hold 6 degrees in divinity, 2 in theology, 1 in archaeology and 3 in abstract religions. Just let my word be final. Now this
6

is how we are going to prepare for the programme, 3 days of fasting; we start at 6 a.m. and break by 6 p.m. If you are smart you can organise yourself with a ball of kenkey by 5 a.m., alternatively you can fast till 12 noon, whack some heavy food in the afternoon and then continue fasting till 6 a.m. the next day. Dan (INTERRUPTS) but Pastor this amount to Akyirewia and even worse than what the ....... N.L. Dan! Dan! time and again I have warned you not to provoke me to wrath. Infact this is the last time I am taking any of these your carnal comments okay. Infact you are suspended from the board indefinitely. Walk out before I strike. Cri, Slan, Liti, Gos, Info Yes Pastor we all agree; lets get this enemy of progress out of our midst and I believe we shall move faster. (Dan walks out). N.L. Well, I want us to bring the meeting to a close here. I would have very much liked to organise prayer meetings but considering the fact that you are all very busy professionals I will spare you the trouble. Nevertheless let us all in our closets pray a lot about the programme. Thank you for coming Amen.

ACT 1 SCENE 2
Napoleon with Liti and Critico at his hall the night before the crusade N.L. Its so amazing, are you aware that the crusade date coincides with my 42nd birthday? Critico
7

Eer, Pastor then this is surely going to be a super fantabalistic crusade. Anointing will pour like the Boti falls. Infact Rev. I had another vision about the whole show. In a dream I saw you ministering under a quadrupled anointing of the prophet Elijah. You were laying hands and people were falling left, right, centre and behind you like flies. N.L. Oh my son Critico, your comments are always so encouraging and edifying, I know one day you will also become a pastor. By the way I have some small chops around for my birthday, I hope I am not tempting you. Critico Not at all Rev., he who is already down needs fear no fall. Lit Oh Pastor, you know my ulcer condition so I am ever ready and prepared. N.L. Yes you are all good guys. I just had to exempt myself because I found it totally out of order to be on a fast on the eve of my birthday. (They all whack 6 balls of kenkey till they cant breathe) Critico So Pastor how much is it costing us to stage this crusade? N.L My son it is costing 12.5million Lit Eei, that is too much. We could have used the money to purchase a new Barracuda for our Pastor. After all what guarantee do we have that the souls that will be won will even stay. And if they stay can their contribution in terms of offering etc. help recover this sum we are investing. N.L. Oh Liti you think so well about me. By the way who has heard about that pest recently. Critico Pastor you mean that Brother who is still under the law, Dan.

8 N.L. Who else could the pest be? Critico Rev. the last vision I had about him he was marching briskly toward a sign post bearing the writing DEATH. It is too bad Rev., Dan is in error. If hunger is what releases the power of God like no demon would be able to survive in Ethiopia, Somalia and Liberia. Lets pray for him. N.L. Well I will like to spend some more time tapping anointing and picking a few phrases from Rev. Benny Hynns video before the crusade this evening. You know we are a modern and
8

technologically advanced generation. Some years ago man used to track on foot for miles but today we have cars; by virtue of P.A. systems we dont have to employ much man effort to get our audience to hear us like the early preachers used to do, likewise the price one has to pay to possess spiritual strength too has greatly been eased. Our fore fathers have done all the travailing and fasting for us and all we need to do is to just listen to their tapes, watch the videos and then you have INSTANT ANOINTING! Ah, I even heard that people have even come out with fufu powder; one can therefore have instant fufu without having to go through the fag of pounding. Now we can have everything FAST AND INSTANTLY without any fatigue. Critico Oh I see Pastor you have this new Benny Hynns video. That is wonderful! the man is anointed ooh! N.L. Yes Critico I borrowed it from a friend only yesterday to learn one or two things before the crusade this evening and catch his anointing. Critico Pastor I hope you are studying how the people fall under the anointing. Infact these days that and a ministers ability to give a word of knowledge are about the main determinants of the success of a ministry. N.L. Yes brother I think you are right. It seems as though no matter what you do unless you are able to get people to hit the canvas when you pray for them you are not considered anointed. Critico Exactly Pastor! the anointed minister, the man of God of today is the one who slays the people. You know people these days especially believers only attend such meetings to see the minister perform. As a result the pressure it also brought upon the minister to perform and that results in all manner of interesting spiritual antics.

9 N.L. Well but Critico sometimes the end really justifies the means. If all they care for is slaying then I dont think anything really gets damaged if you get it done for them by hook or crook, because at the end of the day they become Church members and that is what matters. Critico Pastor I agree with you hundred percent. Tonight there must be slaying and word of knowledge at all cost; by hook or crook. N.L. Ah! as if you knew it already. Tonight if the spirit doesnt move me I will move the spirit. It is going to be a complete Mohammed and the mountains affair. You know how the saying goes, lets say it together If the mountains dont go to Mohammed then Mohammed must go to the mountains chorus

ACT 1 SCENE 3
Introduces N.L Critico Let us get on our feet and welcome Gods man for our time, day and hour, Gods special Apostle of apostles, Prophet of prophets, Rev. Dr. Prof archbishop, his grace and Excellency. Napoleon Legalo, founder and general overseer of Love Ablaze Int N.L. (He comes to stage and does his best and behaves like Pastor Benny Hynn). Everything is so clumsy. He now comes to the healing line, with all his might he tries to get people to fall
10

under the power. Pushes, Pushes, uses psychology etc. and the thing is not happening. He comes to the alter call, he uses all his might shout, pleads, threatens, begs, demands, frightens and even swears to curse the sinner if they dont respond. And 10 children (at 6-8 years) and one young girl Jessica Kahn 19 years respond to his violent alter call. Napoleon explained saying: Not that I personally push you, but what actually happens is that when I draw near you, the anointing pushes me and then when I lay hands you receive both the anointing and the impact of the spirits push. Do you get the revelation? After the 10 children Napoleon says: I made an alter call for souls but where from these soulets? There is a lady here you have a pink bedsheet on your bed right now. The Lord wants you forward. There is a gentleman here who has been suffering from intense headaches for sometime now, come forward! There are 7 women here who are going through difficult times in your marriage! There is another woman here , you are a business woman and somebody is owing you for so long. And it appears the person doesnt wan to pay, come forward. [ So many women surge forward in response to N.L. word of knowledge]

Slan So what is your profession J Well Sister it is hard to tell but I am a prostitute. Slan Hei God save us! How old are you and for how long have you been in this business. J I am 19 years and have been in this since I was 10 years. I found myself in it when I lost my father about 9 years ago. My mother died earlier when I was 3 years. My education ended abruptly and my step mother who was to care for me drove me way from home after my fathers death then..... Slan Well it is enough. Now you have become a Christian and you know you cant continue in this business. Moreso you must do your best and get a decent job and earn yourself a living. You have become a member of L.A. Int and a member of my department. I hope to see you tomorrow at 4 p.m during our departments meeting. By the way how many boyfriends do you presently have. J 7 please. Slan Hei Sister Jessica, you must surely be baptised 3 times to cleanse all these sins from you. You must go and break up all those abominable relationships before you come to church tomorrow.

SLANDORA, LITIGRANDA, TALEBARO, GOSPITO, CRITICO ALL MEET IN SLANDORAS HOUSE. S Hei you are all welcome, as for today I am so blessed to have all you mighty prophetess visiting me. It is as though it was planned. By the way how did you find the crusade? L Oh Pastor was certainly wonderful; the only problem was with his coat. I think he should have worn a double breasted. G Oh yes you observed it eeh? A blue black double breasted jacket and a green shoe would have been more presentable. T Well I think the main problem was with his voice - it was too soft and ..........
12

Crit Ah! as for this I dont agree, I think Pastor was rather shouting too much. His alter call was a bit frightening. I almost went forward myself to be born-again again. Infact if I hadnt hesitated and blew a few tongues to check whether the Holy Ghost was still in me I would have gone forward. S Hei! you people I have news for you. Let me alert you before it slips me. Did you all see the lady I counselled? The only adult who responded to Pastors alter call. (They respond: Yes, yes, yes what about her). S Now let me warn you to keep an eagles eye on your husbands and you brethren too, you better be on your guard. She is a converted veteran in prostitution. Infact she is a maestro. As at last night she had 7 boyfriends. She must be a deft hubby snatcher. She certainly must be a witch !!! Crit My Lord and God, how are we going to cope with such a sinner in the church. By the way are you very sure she is really born-again, eh?? Liti Well God save us; as for me if I even see her attempt to smile with my husband I will let her live to regret for ever responding to the alter call. S The worse part of the whole issue is that she is a member of our department. T Sheei! Then we are all dead men. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. S But can you imagine who invited her to the crusade. 13 L Yes I was going to ask. Who made that unpardonable mistake? S Who else, but that pest still living under the law. Crit Sheei! you mean Dan added that to his uncountable and miscalculations S Well this all I have to tell you, let us be ready for fellowship meeting tonight. But remember Miss Jessica Kahn will be around. ( They get up and disperse).

ACT 3 SCENE 6
(At their Departmental Prayer Meeting) JESSICA HAS BROKEN OFF WITH ALL HER BOYFRIENDS, SHE IS NOW HOMELESS, JOBLESS AND PENNILESS. SHE IS THE FIRST TO COME FOR THE MEETING. SHE COMES IN MENS CAMBU, AN OLD T-SHIRT AND HER HAIR IS SET IN PONY TAIL FASHION. THEY ALL COME IN AND TAKE THEIR SEATS. SLANDORA BEGINS THE MEETING WITH AN OPENING PRAYER. AFTER THAT THEY SING I LOVE YOU WITH THE LOVE OF THE LORD. THEY ALL GIVE JESSICA A VERY HEARTY WELCOME AND CONGRATULATE HER. Slandoras Sermon S. Praise the Lord. We thank God for another meeting day. It is about a week now since the Lord begun to teach me on a very important and prophetic subject which I believe must go
14

around the globe. Open your bibles to Rom 10:15 and then Isaiah 52:7, I read How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who bring good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaim salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!. But my message dwells more on the opening line. I want you all to repeat it after me How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel. Now today we are going to learn a few practical ways by which we can win more of our world for Christ. But before I start let me ask you this question. First to the men. If you were walking in this town one day, and then suddenly you spotted a man dressed in the kind of attire men used to wear in the day of Sir Isaac Newton beckoning you to come like what would you do? Or you met a man clothed with camels hair with a leather girdle around his waist with a bible in his hands around U.T.C., Accra and he called you, like what would you do? - Well I would flee for dear life. And you ladies if one morning on your way to work you meet a woman dressed like they used to during the Victorian age; (I mean 5those kind of spotts with a narrow top and the parts from the middle to the downward parts like a puffed out parachute) like what would you do. O you met a woman dressed like they used to do during Komfo Anokyes days beckoning you to come - hei I say like what would you do? - Well I will flee so fast that even if Ben Johnson takes a double portion of steroids he cant catch me. Now I have come to understand that one of the main reasons why we Christians are not able to attract and win the world to Christ is because we are still too backward in our way of dressing. If the people we are trying to convert find us repulsive because of our unimpressive outward adornment then how can we ever win their hearts for the Lord. Friends the time has come for our light to shine; the light of our beauty, the light of our prosperity and wealth, that the world may see and be attracted to the Lord. 15 I have not said we must be conformed to this world but in a sense I am only trying to awaken your consciousness to the strategy of the greatest soul winner of all times - the Apostle Paul as he clearly unveils it in 1Cor 9:19 - 23 .............. I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews..........to those without the law; as without law (not being without law toward God but under the law towards Christ) that I might win those who are without the law ; [well I dont fully grasp the meaning of what is in the bracket but I think I can still get the import of my message across without bothering myself with whatever it means. Now verse 23 reads Now this I do for the gospels sake that I may be partaker of it with you. Oh how beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel! But just bend down and you will see brethren wearing all manner of strange things on their feet. I want to urge you brethren that you imitate me and you shall be more successful in your endeavours. I always carry two pairs of spectacles on me; the plain one which I am presently wearing are not medicated at all. But they are purposely and strategically worn to enhance my image. I use that most of the time when I am in the midst of decent enlightened people like you. I also have in my purse my darks which I wear mostly when I am out in the midst of the unbelievers.

15

Our world believes in leggings, mini-skirts, slits that enter into the inner thigh, ladies in shorts, bare backs and front teasers. They believe in wild make-ups, artificial nails, wild hair dos and generally being gay. We must double the dose for them if we want to win them. Scripture plainly teaches that men can only look on the outside . How then do you think we can attract the world to ourselves and then win them to Christ except we adorn ourselves in a manner so as to win their approval. That is what the Apostles and the prophets on whose foundations we are built did and won their generation, and Paul plainly endures it as we have already read Somebody may quote Is 53:2-3 which reads that ............... He has no form nor comeliness, and when we see Him there is no beauty that we should desire him - and yet the Pharisees and scribes themselves testified in Jn14:19 that despite all the effort to oppose Christ they were accomplishing nothing but rather the whole world was going after him! Or you may also ask me why despite his unimpressive outfit even the greatest in the society went after John the Baptist. First let me explain to you that as pioneers and founder there is a certain level and amount of suffering and self-denial that peculiarly falls to their lot. We their followers are exempted from those troubles. That is what makes them only conquers and we are more than conquers Amen!! Shout Yes! Shout Yes ! PREACH ON PASTOR Secondly which of us can claim to have the same anointing as Jesus or John the Baptist who had the Holy Ghost right from the womb? Now this apparent deficiency only makes it necessary for us to employ other strategies to enhance our chances of winning our generation. Henceforth let no man be a poor advertisement of the Church through colo dressing. If their ladies believe in dressing in jeans outside let our ladies get the tighter ones displaying their God-given beauty to his praise. If the leggings fit you, sister get it on and let them know you are not backward. For by so doing you can win their friendship and who knows maybe even get them converted. 16 And you the brothers, some of you are still parading around us with 18th Century hair cuts when even some unbelievers have gone totally western- perming and jelly-curling their hair. I mean with your Macbeth and Mongo-park hair-cut how can you even take your stand before the unbeliever who has styled his hair like Michael Jackson without being intimidated. You still wear crimplyne trousers and guarantee shoes, totally violating Rom 10:15 b. In conclusion I want to announce that with the consent of the elders of the church we shall have our first ever Christian beauty contest in the Church in 6 months time. And also henceforth before we go for outreach we shall inspect spots, and if your spotts are not up to standard we shant go with you, no matter how much you have prayed and fasted for it. Amen. Let us pray. Jessica: ( gets up in the course of the meeting and ask) can you please direct me to the ladies gents. L EEI! EEI! LADIES GENTS?! (They all burst out into uncontrollable laughter) Critico offers to help her to the ladies. After the meeting: They all gather around Jessica and with their mouth show much love, seek more information about her etc. Then in her absence they begin discussing her again. Critico
16

strongly believes she is a witch because of her cambu. This attitude goes on for a whole year, till Bro. Samson Davidson comes around.

17 WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS ........................................... Adwoa Frema can you see that these days Sister Slandora preaches for too long at fellowship meetings? When was the last time we got home on time to watch concert party? I think someone must be bold to check her about it. Frema You are right Adwoa, she seems to be catching that time wasting anointing from Pastor. Haven't you been missing Sunday afternoon movie? Ah! at times I wish someone could be bold enough to snatch the microphone from her and end the service. Adwoa Hmm! Frema as for this 'crife we have joined we are going to suffer oh! Is this the freedom we are called to enjoy in Christ. For me nothing wearies me more than the All-nights. Why does Pastor choose to let us pray for so long. Haven't they read that Jesus said we should let our words be few in prayer because the father knows our desire even before we make the request. You know because of all-nights, we missed the Miss World beauty pageant and also 3 top boxing matches. Frema As for me I am finished with all-nights. I don't believe I must go through a night of praying before God will hear my cry.

Adwoa Frema, what! do you still think about going to Church in the kind of spotts we used to attend the discos with. Frema Well Adwoa you have raised a very important topic. You know when I first got born-again without anybody telling me and also despite the fact that I couldnt even quote one verse of scripture my renewed spirit and conscience suddenly made me know that as a Christian lady it was both improper, indecent to continue dressing that way. Though I have matured to know that in the N.T. we are under no law as to what to wear and what not to wear, yet we shouldnt allow this right of liberty to cause us to make others stumble, if we love Christ. Adwoa, though we are under no law in the sense of the O.T. yet we are specifically brought under the law of love by Christ. Remember what he said, A new law do I give you that love one another. This being the case then if a brother is being pained or his feelings hurt or if he is being injured by what you eat, (then) you are no longer walking in love. Adwoa Frema, you seem to know so much about these things. Then why do you still continue to spott in that way. You should have counselled us a long time ago to be modest in our outfit. ehh? Frema Adwoa, your conscience is still tender ohh. what I have told you is all nothing but impractical theories and there are many such things in the bible. They sound so noble but too idealistic. But here in this life we are in the reality. 18 I sincerely thought it was improper till I notice that all the elderly women in our ministry even do it!! So I was forced to violate my conscience and keep standards lest I become the odd one out. When everybody is looking so modern and western you want us to look African and colo ........... no, no, no my sister. That is too bad. When in Rome do what the Romans do. I believe they even know more scripture, pray more, preach better and are closer to the Holy Spirit than us. Let us no try to make ourselves any too-known. Adwoa Ahh well you converted me so if you think it is okay I have no problem. After all I think it even makes you more attractive thus increasing your chances of getting a husband. By the way, lets hurry up or we shall be late for the meeting.

19 Ras is sitting under a tree alone reading a letter from a girl he has bounced and he is laughing on top of his voice Ras Ah as for this girl anybody who fool pass am de you go face firing squad.

Ras Oh Rambo you sabe why? This pinochio girl wey I toss am wey e still dey write worry me. Rambo Who be pinochio?..... aaah you mean Adanko Jane? As for that girl e be rabbit ankasa. I wonder why she no dey concentrate for her school top. Ras This slut who has so far warmed the beds of all of us twelve friends including Musa, Akwei, Opeele, Suarez, Tikotiko , Opoku and Abacha. And come and read this nonsense, still pestering me with love letters.
19

Rambo I no fit believe say that girl get only one underwear wey e make deep RED! I tell you all the 8 of us see that red panties. Foolish girl make you divorce am quick. Ras You, make you wait, I write am this small polite divorce letter then she talk sey she no dey fit sleep etc. Now the one I dey come write be death warrant. e finish read aaah per e go go hang herself. Rambo Yea charlie, I hear announcement for F.M. top sey, Alpha Blondy de come the stadium this weekend. We for go chill proper. But wey can woman we dey go plus. Ras Yea that is the present problem because now man for graduate from the rabbits and dokodoko women and lay hold on the real HOT DOGS. As for those women who dey walk like goat wey them vex, we finish plus them. We want the type who wriggle like snakes, float like butterflies in their galleys.

20 Rambo Yea, yea, yea, you have reminded me. e make like 4 times now around this same area by this time I have seen 2 ladies wey them spott wild sey them dey go disco. Charlie you see them a you go make small, but Soweto talk sey they be crife. Ras Oh make you no mind Soweto! Sure sey e want jive you then go connect them for himself. Charlie we must get them by hook or crook; but how we go meet them. Rambo Make we pray sey they go pass here this evening ............. shhh yea they de come. Ras Eei Rambo charlie I de collapse, this be hips proper; call it hip of hips and bobby of bobbies. Eei Rambo this one de you no tell me half of the whole truth. I tell you the other baby e get back ohh eei. Today be today. Charlie the woman get shock absorbers proper. Rambo I tell you this one de the spotts sef dey talk sey they bring themselves. Sheei see the way the other one de walk. Just check the rhythm, the harmony, the beat, this is more than music. I tell you I fit dance plus the steps of her galleys. Ras But charlie if after all this people be crife ah then face die go catch us oh; but how we go sabe sey they be crife or not. Rambo Okay Ras I get idea, make we approach them then greet them say praise the Lord or is it praise the God or hallelujah? If they respond with hallelujah or Amen then we must reconsider our approach. But if not then be sure they are GAME.
20

{Ras & Rambo approach Adwoa & Frema who are standing in the middle of the road and talking about Daddy Lumbas cassettes and K.K.K.} Ras/Rambo Praise the God ladies, oh we said praise the God. Frema Oh hi can we help you Ras Oh yea, you have the spirit. Yea ladies you can really help us. By the way I am Ras Kimbo and this is my paddy Rambo. What about you. Frema Well I am Frema and my friend is Adwoa Rambo but I think I have spotted you a couple of times on this road. You look like a regular member of Fox trap disco. One of my funny friends was making a mistake of trying to identify you with those colo crife people or are you one of them? 21 Frema Oh not as such but we normally use this same route to attend some of their meetings at times. Ras Oh I see you mean the crife people them meeting eh? that means you yourself dont really belong to that group. Frema Oh no not as such actually we are also members in a way. Rambo Ah well that isnt too bad after all we all attend crife meetings ones in a while. Infact these days if you dont attend it you appear some way. But we also believe one must really make the best of his youth. But there are some extremist and fanatics among the crifes who make it as though a little enjoyment here and there is sinful for a crife. Ras Yea you see all this is hypocrisy. If you can buy lets say Lucky Dube or Daddy Lumbas tape to enjoy at home, what makes it wrong to attend a live performance of the man at a stadium, disco, concert etc.? Adwoa Yea I think you are making a point after all you can just go and enjoy the music without necessarily taking in the dances as the hard core unbelievers do. Rambo Yea, Yea, Yea you babys got the spirit. I hope you dont mind if we go down to the spot for a tot. After all what matters in boozing is making sure that one doesnt get drunk. Ras Exactly! I think that verse is in Jude chapter 17 vrs 2: that drink but dont get drunk.
21

Frema Oh brother Ras we would have easily gone down with you. We are rather the sociable and friendly type of crife but because of the many fanatics and extremist in our church who will complain and make a whole story out of it, we wouldnt like to go. Rambo Oh come on baby, come on baby, ahh..... They themselves, do you know what they do in secret? These days if you follow people you will end up being the cheated one at the end of the day ooh. Charlie make we go enjoy ourselves small okay? Just a few tots. Ras Look Frema we are experienced men ooh! you think you are the only crife going for a tot at a bar ahh. Look I mean everybody ahh. Me my mummy make a leader for womens class in Womens Aflame ministries for airport. I say my mum de e start the crife from the womb, but I tell you e be me de prepare n bitters for am. e no be sey the olady de use wine or brandy sef for her bitters: she de use proper ogogro; you taste the bitters you go know say this be "apio" proper. She no go come sit for bar or spot buy even 1/4 tot. She see say one of her Church member's dey there koraa aa how she go blast am only God sabe. But when we are at home the way she de suck the bitters I de fear sef. 22 Infact my first taste of apketeshie came from stealing her bitters. So badly if even the women's day leader herself is boozing then what are you talking about, come on let us go. Frema Please gentlemen I still don't think we can follow you. Rambo Frema you see all long you no de catch the spirit fast look right now even as you are standing here if they are organising Miss Ghana competition and came for you without giving you one more minute to beautify yourself you will chop the competition hands down. I mean you will have a perfect landslide victory. But now if you don't take advice you are going to allow all this funny crife thing to cheat you out of life. I say the people you de follow they de do worse things. Me my father be mens class leader for Internal Fire Ministries at Kokofu, but he is the sole distributor of Zoom Zoom dry gin for all of Western and Central region. But if you can come wonna house aa only coke and fanta dey the fridge inside. But else my old man wey e de distribute Apio to all the drinking centers. Eeh if it was wrong like would he do it? Miss Ghana, charlie make we go enjoy ourselves small okay. Frema No, no, no I still have my reservations about that more so ................ Ras Oh as for you Miss Ghana you de give too much tough time. You no see say your other sister she catch the spirit already. You see e no be say we no make crife some oh; ah but we no go greet you say praise the God. Infact you koraa you failed to respond like a fanatical extremist crife. Like you for respond say Hallelujah. You see we all de for the crife inside only say we de we open our eyes for the things inside. Rambo Ah! but you I sure say you de attend Love Ablaze International. When you go further down the road, there is a newly formed Charismatic cum Pentecostal church, that is where we attend if you care to know. Look every Sunday we are there. We de bash their base guitar, you come wey you see Ras for the drums top aah you yourself you go faint Some wanna paddy be they de call am Soweto he de bash the organ for the church. Miss Ghana believe me, we are so significant and important in the church that when we fail to attend the Pastor drives himself to our house, begs us with money only to come and bash for him! Ah you see me like this
22

wey anointing come my top wey I dey bash then chewing gum and bashing the base guitar wey the women dey skip into the air like antelope you yourself go know say this be crife brother proper. After all you when you go to church they no de pay you, you rather dey pay offering. We de wey we vex the Pastor de drive to wanna house then beg us with money. Then he go drive us back to church. Then after church he go tip all of us heavy because he know say e no do so ahh wey we vex we no go go bash for am again. Adwoa Okay you Frema let us go with them, only we want them to understand that we shant take the tots but minerals-Do you guys agree? Ras/Rambo Oh yea, yea, yea - ah you babies get the spirit. Miss Ghana you fine but you dey give too much tough time. 23 Frema Okay I agree if Adwoa has but the agreement must not be broken. SUDDENLY SOWETO AND CAPITO APPEAR Ras/Rambo Soweeeeto, Soweeeeto, Soweeeeto, Cacacapito, Cacacapito, charlie I tell you the angel of the lord ordered your steps here.

I hope say you make ready. Ras Oh yea, yea, yea, Frema and Adwoa infact I wanted to remind you about that too why not go and have a little fan? Adwoa You guys I think you are now going too far. Rambo Oh sweetheart this time you are getting it all wrong. e no be say we de go make wanna sef cheap there by dancing then things ooh never! But you see because we are all instrumentalist we only go and sit there and pick a few ideas here and there to improve on our services to the church. Frema
23

First we agreed to go with you for just a tot and now see where you are trying to take things ehh. Ras As for you Frema de you de give tough time too much why? Eh, a whole Miss Ghana like you. Make you no do so. But you know say long time ago I spot the Lucky Dube and Daddy Lumba cassette for your hands inside ehh. You de enjoy their music but you no de like see them live. Why you want make yoursef laka this, laka that? Rambo Okay lets make another serious arrangement, because we are only going to learn a few skills from the instrumentalist, we shall go there very early and try and leave early so that our dear Christian sisters will be able to get back home on time. 24 Frema Okay agreed. But we shant go any further than that is that clear. Ras/Rambo/Sowet/Capito Yea, yea, yea. Miss Ghana! Miss Ghaaana! Miss Ghaaana! Miss Ghaaana!. Oh make we carry am for wanna shoulders top.

ACT 4 SCENE 1
SAMSON DAVIDSON PARTING WITH HIS WIFE ABIGAIL FROM TRIPOLAND. HE IS A BANK OFFICIAL ON TRANSFER TO ACCRA. S.D. Abi. it is so unfortunate that I have to leave so soon to Accra just 16 years after marriage. But keep trying to work on your transfer. Abi Hmm, well lets hope and believe God, all will be okay. But what about accommodation, has the bank secured a flat for you in Accra? And what church will you be fellowshipping with. S.D. Well the accommodation problem is already taken care of. It is the church issue that continues to haunt me. I wonder whether there is any church like our church. Hope Alive International. But I recently saw an advert in the newspapers, of a church by name Love Ablaze International holding an evangelistic crusade. I intend making it my first try as soon I get over. Abi Yes, it sounds a familiar name to me. I think you should try and locate them on arrival. In the mean time I am also going to put double pressure on my transfer issue. S.D. I think the driver would be coming in any time from now. So call in the children and lets share in the scriptures and have a moment of prayer. Abi Shadrach!, Meshach! and Abednego!, all of you please come and lets have fellowship with Daddy before he leaves us. S.D. (Daddy counsels the kids and shares a prayer with them).

ACT 4 SCENE 2
SAMSON COMES TO ACCRA AND MANAGES TO LOCATE LOVE ABLAZE INT HE IS INTRODUCED AND WARMLY WELCOMED INTO SLANDORAS DEPARTMENT. S Today the Lord has blessed us with a proper and worthy soul. Infact the spirit according to the scriptures ordered my steps into the same taxi with this noble son of God who was also in search of Love Ablaze Int So through me he has joined our church and is a bonafide member of our department. Ladies and gentlemen lets welcome the worthy brother and man of God Bro. Samson Davidson. S.D. (Gets up introduces himself, family background and profession). S : Preaches that evening on polishing the outside of the cup. Dont be a poor advertisement of our noble church through improper dressing. Meeting comes to an end In their sophisticated and gorgeous spots they go about welcoming, hugging and shaking one another. But Jessica is clearly marginalised and given finger tip hand shakes. Sister it will be well okay : says Litigranda. Samson finds himself in conversation with Jessica. He observes the worn out mens cambu. The badly set hair, old T-shirt and obvious poverty. S.D. Hello Sister, what is your name and what do you do for a living. J Well I am Jessica and I at times sell iced water and occasionally do kaya-yo at Tema station. S.D. For how long have you been a Christian, a member of the church and where do you live? J Please I got born-again in the church about 3 years ago. About accommodation, with my earning from kaya-yo and the iced water I managed to rent somebodys lotto kiosk, but during the recent floods it got carried away, infact brother I almost lost my life but for the timely intervention of some men.. So of late I bed with my companions in the kaya-yo business on the veranda in front of the stalls when the traders go home. S.D.
26

So will you be ready to learn a trade? J Yes bro. I am just prepared, but the problem is sponsorship. S.D. Okay Sister Jessica, it has been nice chatting with you. We shall talk more later. Good-night. 27

ACT 4 SCENE 3
SAMSON COMES HOME AND SPENDS HOURS IN PRAYER FOR JESSICA. HE ASK THE LORD HOW BEST HE COULD HELP. AFTER TWO MONTHS HE DECIDES TO HAVE A CHAT WITH THE LEADER OF THEIR DEPARTMENT, MISS SLANDORA ABOUT JESSICA. IN THE MEAN TIME SLANDORA HAS GONE HOME FROM SUNDAY SERVICE (SHE LEADS THE WORSHIP AT CHURCH) AS SOON AS SHE GETS HOME, SHE SLOTTS IN UNDER PRESSURE AND BEGINS TO DANCE RAGGAE. JUST WHEN SHE IS ABOUT TO RELAX SHE HEARS A KNOCK AND IN COME LITI. THEN SHE TRIES TO CHANGE THE CASSETTE, THEN .................................. Lit Oh, why do you want to change the cassette it is all right. Though it isnt Crife music, I just enjoy their beat. S Oh then you are just like me, I also just put it in for the beat and at times the advise they give. Even at times they mention Jesus in some of their songs though they are unbelievers, and that alone doesnt make it too bad or ? Lit Even I read it recently that most of them have also been born again. Abrantie, Daddy Lumba and K.K.K., so you know that makes their songs even sanctified. S By the way today did you observe Criticos tie and shoes ? Lit Yea ! Yea ! Yea ! So you also saw it. I tell you as soon as he came in I almost had a heart failure. The bro. must learn to be a bit more fashionable, Ebei! S That kind of tie is spiritually known as the breast plate of righteousness. And the coat he was wearing is known as teacher Appiah. That is the kind of coat the whites used to wear even before they came to the Gold Coast. (There is a knock, Critico comes in) S Here comes our one and only brother. Hei Critico today you were wonderful. I tell you but for the colour of your skin anybody could have mistaken you for Bill Clinton. Lit Oh yea! was it your cousin in Las Palmas who sent you those spotts?
27

Crit Oh I see, thanks very much for your compliments. But as for this matter I cant hide my feelings about what I am about to disclose to you. How did you find Pastors wifes hair style and her green shoes? 28 Lit Yes Critico, you noticed something worth discussing. Infact I felt just too embarrassed. I mean how could she, a whole first-lady set her hair in that style. S And her dress I personally think it was to long, why, does she think we are still in the maxi days. Any way I have some bitters here in brandy which I normally take for my stomach troubles. I hope you dont mind? Lit Oh not at all. That is all what I have been using to control my ulcer all along. S What about you Critco? Crit Oh I dont normally drink these days but I wouldnt mind just half a glass of aperitif before supper. (well I also have this cassette around, it isnt crife but I hope you will enjoy the beat and advice, then he slots in Shabba Ranks) S Well I personally think so far as we dont dance to the rhythm it is okay. But these days have you been noticing that new comer, Mr Davidson. Crit Oh that man, why is he so quiet; Infact the only person I have seen and heard him talk to is that dangerous girl. Lit Well if he feels so good and self righteous let us just leave him alone. He even looks like that pest, Daniel. S Infact, the man looks proud and I am convinced that he really is. After church Sunday he promised coming here today. I hope he has something important to discuss. Other wise................. Knocking, Knocking, Knocking, (They try to hide the brandy bitters.) S Yes come in if you are worthy...............Oh it is you our worthy and blessed brother. From the day you stepped foot in our department I discerned in you faithfulness. So infact I have been sitting here purposely awaiting your arrival. Do you mind a drink? As for the three of us we are suffering from stomach problems so when we meet we normally take a little wine for the sake of our stomachs. S.D.
28

Oh Sister Slandora never mind just a little water will do.

29 S Yes I know you had an understanding and sympathetic heart for peoples peculiar problems. If it were an evil person he will go and broadcast that we are boozers. By the way can we discuss the issue in the presence of these faithful and spiritual ones, or it is very confidential. S.D. Oh never mind, since we are all in the same department I think we can safely discuss it together. It is all about that sister in our department, Jessica. Infact since I joined you my attention was drawn to her plight and I have been wondering whether we cant combine efforts and resettle her. (Critico looks down and steals a glance at Liti). S I see Bro. Samson believe me or not infact we are all so burdened about the situation but we just dont know how best we can help. S.D. I had a conversation with her the other time and asked her whether she would like to learn a trade and she appeared very eager to. And since I know you are such a successful fashion designer, I decided to come and discuss the possibility of adding her to your apprentice. S Oh Bro. Samson that is a laudable idea. Infact not long ago after she joined the church she personally came to discuss it with me, but unfortunately for her she had no one to sponsor her. The basic entrance fee as at now is about 150,000.00 and she didnt even have 5,000.00. So infact I have been praying for the Lord to grant her the favour of a sponsor and then the two of us will come together and help her. I with my skill and the sponsor with his money. S.D. Thats wonderful. But Sister Slandora I am ready to sponsor her, can I settle the fee now so she can join your girls by Monday. S Oh yes if you have it on you. (In the meantime Critico and Liti are making faces and just waiting for him to leave so they can speak). Samson pays and asks leave. S This is exactly what the bible meant by casting your pearl before the swine. 150,000.00 for resettling a former veteran prostitute and suspected witch? I dont know whats really wrong with that man. Sister Gospito informed me that he has gone to rent a single room for the Sister at Chorkor. And every now and then he gives Jessica money for food and transportation.

29

30 Crit Hei, Sister Slandora am I hearing well. By the way I am not too shocked, besides that girl, the only other person I have noticed him draw near to is the pest, Daniel. And you know that man too has those funny ideas. I remember when I joined the department and was jobless every now and then after church he will slip an envelop into my pocket full of money or he will hand me a polythene bag full of shirts, shoes etc. But when the Lord brought me into contact with you and also when he started trying to get me to follow his Old-Testament ideas I left him. So I am not surprised at all. Birds of the same feathers flock together. (The scene ends, Critico is tipsy ).

30

31

SLANDORAS HOSPITALITY
[Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock,] S Who is it? just a minute. (She goes to open the door) S Oh you are most welcome, its been a long time, how are you Sister Grace? [she receives Grace with a very hearty and courteous spirit]. Come in and have a seat. Grace Yes I have also really missed you. These days one is so tied down with business that I scarcely get time to even visit dear friends like you. How is home by the way? S Oh by his grace all is fine .You came in just at the right time. I just finished pounding some mighty fufu and will certainly need your help to deal with it. I also have some already cooked jollof rice and some ampesi in the fridge. You may have whatever you choose. Grace Oh Sister Slandora I think it is okay, lets make it at another time. S Ah! Grace why are you refusing my food, come on, behave yourself. At least give me the pleasure and honour of tasting my food. Lets go to the table then. [Slandora leads Grace to the table cheerfully and they both finish the food]. After the meal, Grace begins to speak. Grace God bless you my sister. I am really revived. But unfortunately I cant stay around for too long. I have a business appointment to attend to in 30 minutes time. So I better set on my way. S Oh so soon? But you didnt even finish your plate eh? I hope you are satisfied anyway? You may pop in at anytime, this is your home and always feel free at my table; you are always welcome.......okay then we shall meet at church on Thursday bye..... [They part company. Suddenly Litigranda comes in] Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock S Yes come in.....Oh my sweetee what a surprise. Lit I just popped in to say hi S By the way did you meet Sister Para on the way? 32 Lit
31

Yes! I was going to ask you whether she came to short you again. I saw her from a distance so I couldnt have a chat with her. S Ah! but do you need to ask about that? When did a cat refuse meat or the leech say no to the blood of its victim? But for her wickedness you would have filled you tummy with some sumptuous fufu before leaving. But she came to suck it all up. Hmm, I am suffering oh! what can I do to rid myself of this woman. Lit I think it is about time you told her in the face that enough is enough oh! why? hasnt she got a conscience at all. Hasnt she got a home where she could eat? How can she just harden her heart and just go about doing that, ahwa, ahwa, Sister Grace is too ahwa. And didnt you take note of the dress she wore here? . I gave it to her last year to attend an engagement. S Instead of dishing hers to her separately I made the mistake of eating from the same plate with her and I tell you I had to take five blows to match just one of hers! not to mention her speed! Lit Sister you cant keep allowing someone to burden you with her burdens. It is about time you made her know she is unwelcome here any longer. That is all. If your right hand offends you just cut it off. As for me I just fear for her future husband, whoever he would be. Which man can cope with a woman who never cooks at home but like a grasshopper just keeps hopping from house to house taking advantage of our Christian commonwealth and sucking peoples blood. S Infact I am going to face her squarely. I think I have taken enough. Now let me call the maid and send her to get you a drink.

33

SLANDORA AND HER MAID AT HOME

S Ataa! Ataa! Ataa!
32

AT Yes mama. S Nonsense havent I expressly warned you never to call me mama? Am I your mother? Eh? For the last time let me make it clear to you. You are my maid and I am your madam. So henceforth when I call you how should you respond? AT Yes madam. S You better not make any mistake about it again; just look at your face and compare it to mine and ask yourself whether I can make the mistake of giving birth to something like you. By the way have you finished with the work in the kitchen and the laundry. AT Yes madam, I am left with only the kids laundry. S [ She picks up a frying pan and begins to spank the girl with it] you ugly witch! What were you doing all this Sunday afternoon? Right from the day you entered this house I knew you were a witch. You beastly idiot, I am giving you 5 minutes to finish all the laundry or you will not eat for two days! Lit These days house-helps have become so problematic. But I dont think you should be letting this girl wear such nice dresses like she is wearing in this house. You must dress her so as to put a clear distinction between her and your children. An outsider shouldnt have a problem distinguishing the maid from the children on sight. More so most of them these days are witches and husband snatchers, so you make sure they are as unattractive as possible. S As if you knew it, I am planning to visit the second hand cloth dealer tomorrow for a dress 7 times her size. Infact from today I will make sure she is always sakora. Lit Can you imagine a most embarrassing situation I found myself in when I first made the mistake of taking my maid to church? S No, boss me. Lit Somebody made the unpardonable mistake of referring to me as her mother and she too proudly confirmed it, even calling me mama before my friends. S Ah! So what did you do. 34 Lit As soon as we came home I shaved her SAKORA and made her take fufu with salt water as her punishment. But I am a bit apprehensive about this your girl, did you call her Ataa? Is she a twin? S
33

Yes Liti and what about that? Lit Well are you aware of the fact that most of them are witches and that this your girl could be one? S Why such a conclusion? Is it because she wears a witchy look? Lit Hmm, you call her and let me find out about something. S Ataa! Hei! he-er! He-er! Am I not calling you? AT Yes ma.dam!, auntie! Lit Hei what village do you hail from. AT Mogyasem. Lit Eh what did you say? AT Madam I come from Mogyasem in the Volta region. Lit As a twin have you performed the traditional Abam custom? AT Yes madam. Lit By the way where is your other twin? Is he/she alive. AT No madam he died in an accident about 2 years ago. Lit Hmm, eei, eei,eei I see, by the way have you had a child or aborted one before? AT No madam. 35 Lit Apart from you how many other children has you mother? AT Madam we were 12 but we are now left with 5. Lit
34

That is enough, I now understand; you may leave at once! Slando are you aware of the sword hanging over your neck? I dont have the least of a doubt in my mind that your girl is a queen mother witch and that the earlier you send her away the safer it will be for you and your children. S Liti, what do you base your conclusion on? Lit Well to start with, the name of her village makes it clear, MOGYASEM! Secondly no twin goes through the traditional Abam ceremony without being given witchcraft, thirdly, she must be responsible for the death of her twin brother and also jointly responsible for the death of her mothers 7 children. S Lit are you very sure, because she is the last born and six of those who are already dead, died before she was born. Lit Exactly! Exactly! That is what makes her a more dangerous witch. It only means that she started operating as a witch right from her mothers womb and even years before she was formed in the womb and these days it is a common thing. And have you forgotten what God said in Jeremiah 1:5 eh, before you were born I ordained you as a prophet to the nations and isnt Satan known for counterfeiting Gods works? This girl is the devils mercenary. S So what about sending her to church for deliverance? Lit Aah! Aah! What is coming over you, so you dont care about dragging your dignity through the mud. Or has she already begun working on your mind? And what will you tell the deliverance team eh? That a woman of your calibre has a witch under her roof? God forbid! Just send her packing at once, no more questions. You want to deliver her? Can you imagine the number of people she has destroyed and sent to hell already? What is wrong if she joins them? S Ataa! Ataa! Hei! He-er! He-er! Are you deaf! AT Yes maa.dam!

36 S How long do I have to call before you respond er? By the way go and pack all your things in the black polythene bag in the kitchen, I am sending you back to your sister tomorrow. AT Oh maadam why. S Just shut that witchy mouth and do as I have instructed, is that right? Your mouth like a watering can, ugly dirty witch.
35

Lit One last question before you go, you are now 21 years old, have you in your life ever dreamt that you were eating with somebody or a group of people before? AT Yes madam. Lit Aaah! I told you so! This is the acid test! She is nothing but a veteran in the craft. S Hei! go as fast as those strange cassava sticks like legs can carry you and pack your things? Eei! Sister Liti, I am so grateful. I am fully convinced that the Lord brought you in just timely enough to avert a very serious trouble in the house. I dont doubt your conclusions at all because of late some strange things have been happening in this house. Kwame isnt doing too well in school, Yaa is almost always sick and my husbands car quickly runs out of fuel whenever this girl is with us in the car! Hei! Better hurry up and let me send you away immediately. I have an important meeting at church this evening.

37 SLANDORA ANNOUNCES AFTER A MEETING Slandora and Liti come for the meeting: Slandora is in some skin tight leggings and a mini-top, she is wearing very large ear-rings with her face deeply bathed in make-up of all colours. Liti similarly dressed except that she is wearing a mini-skirt. Boga wears one earring and a wild cut. Liti and Slandora too have a weird hair-do called over to you (They came to lead a meeting). S Praise the Lord. Well we have come to the end of our meeting but I have a very sad and unfortunate announcement to make. (suddenly there is perfect silence). I hope you all know Sister Frema and Adwoa, those two beautiful sisters. They are the new converts who joined
36

our department about 2 months ago. I hope you remember them now. Well it was about 7:30 last night that Sister Litis daughter, the nurse came to my house with the report that they had been conned by some men who took them to a drinking spot drugged them and afterwards repeatedly raped them in the plantain farm near the lagoon. Somebody found them there seriously wounded and brought them to the hospital. Now it could have happened to any of us, so I want us to stand together and pray for them and also pay them a visit at the hospital as a group. Yes Liza, your hand is up, any question? Liza Yes I am really very confused. How did those unbelieving boys manage to con crife girls to go and sit together with them at a drinking spot? They should have even felt shy and ashamed to approach them. Lit Well Liza, we cant really explain why. You know the bible teaches us that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord shall deliver us from them all. This could all be nothing but persecution that they suffered as a result of trying to witness to the men. Boga Infact it is very unfortunate. But I want to suggest that henceforth we must help our sisters to arm themselves with pistols when they are going out. We cant afford to be foolish. You know I have lived in Holland and New York for some years now. And because of some of these problems these days it is a common thing that any woman walking on the street has a weapon on her. So I am forcibly suggesting that we raise funds and secure pistols for all the ladies in the church especially the very beautiful and attractive ones. S Yes Boga I think that is a very good idea but before we come back to it, it seems Bro. Dan has his hands up; any practical suggestions Bro. Dan? Dan Well before I make my suggestion I would like to concede the fact that I am bothered and troubled by the same question Sister Liza asked. But after sitting to consider it for sometime I think I now understand how it was possible for those unbelievers to approach our sisters without the least sense of shame and got them to sit and drink with them at the spot. Nevertheless I think I should see our leader personally and discuss my suggestion before it is made public. 38

(After the meeting)

S Mr. Samson I am now ready can we progress. S.D. Well sister this issue at stake may be discussed as simple and yet very sensitive. And as your brother and also our leader I considered it important discussing it with you. S Yea bro. what is it? Dan
37

Hmm, Sister it is difficult to mention yet for the sake of your own good and that of the group as a whole I dare risk your displeasure - Sister it is all about how you and certain Sisters dress for meetings. S Yes brother what about that? Dan My dear sister as a man I think it is at times a bit provocative and immodest. Besides we have with us a whole lot of new babies in Christ whom we could unknowingly embolden to violate their own conscience by dressing in a way in which themselves believe to be sub-Christian standard. And I on my part believe that is how Frema and Adwoa attracted those unbeliever men to themselves. S So is that the all important issue you meant to discuss with me. Well before I say anything further do you have a bible with you? Dan Yes madam. S First of all are you aware of the fact that we are not in the O.T. but in the N.T.? Are you very mindful of the fact that we are not under the law but under grace? Dan Yes madam, you are right but.. S Yes but what? Just humble yourself and listen till I finish all I have to tell you: open your bible to Col 2:16-23. Dan (He opens and reads). S Okay open to Gal 5:1. 39 Dan (He opens and reads). S Do you want more? Open to Rom. 14: 1-14, and when you finish open to 1 Cor 6:12, read only the (a) part. And also Gal 5:13, there too read only the (a) part. Dan He reads then also attempts to read the (b) part. S Please just stop where I told you to stop. I am not interested in any unnecessary arguments. You are neither my Pastor nor my personal Holy Spirit. Besides I think I must put you in the know about following facts. First of all I have been a Christian for the past 25 years. I was S.U. President in the secondary school. For two terms I was voted as vice-president of the
38

U.C.F. After graduation I went to work for one year in London where I was president of the Ghanaian Students Christian Fellowship. The founder of this church is my junior brother, infact it was through me that he got converted and last but not the least I am a founding member of this church. Brother, I dont know for how long you have been a Christian and for even how many times you have read the bible. You have been in the church for not more than 5 years and do you presume to teach us how a Christian should dress, what modesty is and isnt? Infact I demand that you write an immediate apology to me before I take any spiritual sanctions against you for your presumption. Dan Oh madam, I dont think you have understood what I really want to put across. S Well I feel sorry for wasting my precious time on this provocative issue. I am off. Think about the apology.

ACT 5 SCENE 1
SAMSON TALKING WITH WIFE ON MOBITEL S.D. Hello Abi, how are you and the children? Thank God that they are fine. Megyina abonten na mere kasa yi ohh Abi. Mese megyina abonten na mere kasa yi. So what about the transfer ? You know it hasnt been easy here alone for the past 11/2 years. I get so tired , bored, lonesome and depressed. Infact what is making matters worse is the fact that I am gradually developing a bad habit of T.V watching, which is really undermining my devotional life. This is all because of the loneliness and the boredom. What did you say? The church, oh yes I have been going but hmm., you, I will boss you later. But did you say you will be coming over for the weekend? Oh that would be great. I will be expecting you. (After a fellowship meeting)
39

S.D. So Jessica how are you faring at the job? I hope your madam is really teaching you. J Hmm Bro. Sam. I wish it was so. Unfortunately the very opposite is the case. I have been there for 11 months and havent even had the opportunity of sitting behind a sewing machine. S.D. What have you been going to the shop every day to do? J Bro. I am the first to report for work. As early as 6:30 a.m. I should be there, I open the doors, sweep the entire shop, dust all the 63 machines and put the shop in order for work. S.D. And then.............. J After that I wait for the others and for the rest of the day I only run errands. Finally when they close I do all the packing and cleaning up. S.D. Jessica it is tiring but please just continue to exercise patience, trusting in God. Whatever you are asked to do, just do it heartily as for the Lord and not men. Also always have it at the back of your mind that where you will be and what you will be doing tomorrow is determined by how well you handle todays responsibility - no matter what it may be. God didnt require a man with a degree in political science to be King over Israel, but just a faithful and committed heart, and when His eyes fell on a man who could fight with lions and bears for the sake of mere sheep he found a King of Israel. By the way, my wife and children will be visiting tomorrow. J Praise the Lord bro., we are blessed, has the transfer now gone through or it is just a visit. 41 S.D. Oh it is just for the weekend. J Oh how I have longed to see madam and really thank her for you. S.D. Well Jessica you can visit us at home tomorrow to greet her. It is getting a bit late so I hope to see you tomorrow. Bye J God willing I certainly will be there bye! THE NEXT DAY MRS. DAVIDSON ARRIVES

40

After receiving and welcoming the wife, they talk about the kids - Shad, Mesch, Abed then Davidson shares his problem of T.V addiction and prayerlessness with her. Then he talks about church, his department and finally Jessica who has promised to come and see her. (Knock, knock) S.D. Yes come in, oh here she comes. J Praise the Lord Bro. Samson, praise the Lord Mama, I am so glad to see you at last, how are you and the children. Mrs. S.D. Hallelujah Sister Jessica, we are all so fine. My husband was just bossing me about how the Lord brought you together and the blessed times you have been having. Are you doing well at the sewing? J Well Mama, I am doing my best. Mrs. S.D. What about church life, are you enjoying the fellowship of the saints? J Yes, mama, I hope you are going to be around for sometime, so you can possibly fellowship with us at least once before you go. Mrs. S.D. Yes that would be great. I am looking forward to visiting you this Sunday. J Oh that is good news, but before I go mama I would like you to really thank Bro. Samson for the great help he has extended to me. Infact if not for him I wonder whether I could have survived in the race up till today. 42 Mrs. S.D. Oh Jessica lets give the Lord the glory and the thanks for it is of his fullness that we have all received grace. J By the way Mama I think you must take a little rest from your journey and give me the pleasure of serving you a little; Any marketing, cooking or washing I can do to help? Mrs. S.D. Oh Jessica I would be so grateful, because my head and my back are really aching me after travelling for 7 hours non. stop. I would really appreciate your help at the kitchen. But before that could you please buy us some food items on the market?

41

ACT 5 SCENE 2
TWO WEEKS AFTER MRS. S.D. LEFT BRO. SAMSON HAS BEEN DOWN WITH MALARIA EVER SINCE. NO MEMBER OF THE CHURCH FELLOWSHIP HAS COME TO CHECK HIM OUT; THEN THERE IS A KNOCK S.D. Yes come in ......... Oh Jessica why havent you come to see me earlier. J Bro. I am sorry. Since after our last fellowship and church service I have been worrying and wondering what has been happening to you. But the work load at the shop has so increased that I have no breathing space for anything. These days I go there as early as 6:00 a.m. and the earliest time I leave is 11:30 p.m. Even presently I am on one of my errands and I just decided to steal some time to check you out. S.D. Thank you Jessica, since my wife left I have been suffering from some serious malaria. Today is the first time in 2 weeks that I have been able to walk as far as the gate. I am just getting ready for the hospital.
42

J Oh so sorry, I wish you a speedy recovery. But let me clear your laundry and also make some light soup for you while you go to the hospital okay. I shant take long at all. I will also try and pop in everyday throughout this week till you fully recover. S.D. Okay Jessica thank you very much. For a whole week Jessica pops in everyday to cook for S.D. and also take care of his laundry. They now spend much more time together after church meetings, they spend hours watching T.V together. Slowly a bond of affection and intimacy is building up, they are becoming more familiar. (AN AFTER CHURCH SERVICE SCENE) S.D. Hello Jessica how are your things? I am so grateful for the services you offered me when I was taken ill. Here is a little parcel for you. J Oh you are ever welcome. Thanks so much. It will do for a good Christmas dress. I hope to visit on Thursday before the meeting, so we shall come down together. S.D. Okay I will be expecting you.

44

ACT 5 SCENE 3
SLANDORA IS ALONE AT HOME LISTENING TO LUCKY DUBE AND SIPPING HER BITTERS SUDDENLY, KNOCK! KNOCK! S Yes come in ............ Oh you are welcome my dear brother. Cri Its being a long time, how are things? I hope all is well. S Oh Critico by the grace of the Almighty all is well. But it seems as though for some time now we havent been seeing Dan and Samson at meetings. Why , what could it be. Cri As for that new brother who feels so spiritual, its being quite sometime now since I set eyes on him. But I met Dan at circle not too long ago. S Oh you met Dan, how is he.
43

Cri Well you may not believe it but as for this brother I think he really needs deliverance. Can you believe when Daniel met me at circle, in the midst of the crowd of unbelievers he loudly greeted me by saying Praise the Lord. S Eeh, as for this colo brother eh! so what did you do. Cri Of course for a moment I behaved as if I didnt know who he was addressing in order to divert the attention of onlookers. But you know his never say die attitude, he looked me straight in the eye like a lunatic, took me by the right hand and repeated it amidst listening ears Praise the Lord S Ah so Critico what did you do eh? Cri Sister I felt so ashamed and embarrassed . But you dont expect me to respond hallelujah in public, why am I the only crife in town. In a very diplomatic spirit I replied with charlie so how and just walked off. S Exactly, you did what a modern Christian should do. Ah, it was during the days of immaturity and zeal without knowledge when we were yet in the Secondary schools that in child like innocence we used to greet praise the Lord, hallelujah, indiscriminately but not in these days of maturity.

45 Cri Ah Sister S I mean just say hi or how be or Ete sen. Its all right to say praise the Lord, hallelujah within the confine of church grounds but once we get out of the building at least in these matters we must do as the Romans do. S I wish he had met me and greeted me in that way like I will let him look so sheepish that he will suddenly begin keeping abreast with time. And was he shamelessly carrying that his huge uncovered bible? Cri Ah as if you know, and I hear he has been reading his bible openly in trotros. But the most embarrassing was yet to come. That is the last thing I expected of his extremity. It was a Sunday afternoon after church service and we decided to go for lunch together at Bafana Bafana chop bar. Just as the waitress finished serving the table and I was about to do action suddenly our brother said, let us pray; though I was taken aback for a while I willingly co-operated and bowed my head. Then he began to pray. Sister Slandora I wonder whether you can believe it, but this strange fellow raised his voice in prayer to the point where all the people at the surrounding tables in the chop bar turned to look at us. I tell you sister I never felt so embarrassed all my life. S
44

Eei! Eei! Eei! But does he imagine he is the only Christian in town. Even in that chop bar there could be more powerful and anointed Christians eating with you that very moment and none of them would even act so too known. Cri Infact since I joined church I havent met a brother whose Christianity is so devoid of diplomacy. Ah! Boga was telling me about how he once embarrassed the leader of the drama department when he made the mistake of travelling with him to Kumasi. I hear he shamelessly stood in the bus and begun to preach from Accra to Nsawam with that his poor English. S If I were him like I would shut my mouth tight and never make an attempt to speak in public, especially in English. Even those of us with a degree in languages lie low. You mark my words one of these days he is surely going to disgrace himself in public through his too known ways. (Suddenly there is another knock, then walks in Liti, Gospido and Bro. S.S. Someway who has just returned from Germany in Boga Spotts, wearing an earring). S Please come in .............Oh I am again blessed; and you Bro. Someway ( She runs to give him an embrace calling Boga). Lit Cant you see he has really grown fine? And we must thank God because despite all the temptations and trials in Germany he has gone and come back and is kicking in the faith. 46 Crit But Slandora havent you seen his flashy subaru, I tell you now de nobody fit challenge am for church. B.S. Oh people I have really missed you guys. So how is life here? But last week after the allnight I met Bro. Daniel outside the main gate and infact the way the brother received me I wasnt happy at all. I mean this was a brother I used to fast and pray with all-night long at the School Park, but infact it seems to me he has not progressed at all. Crit But why do you worry yourself with that colo brother. I am very sure he is been offended by the earrings you have been wearing since you came. I mean what has a mans salvation got to do with whether he wears earrings or not. Boga just dont mind his immaturity. B.S. Oh I see his problem, then I wonder how he will feel if he is put in a typical German church for just one service. Only one earring and you are crying, what will he do the day he sees jelly curled men with both nose and ear rings in Berlin. S By the way, since I have you my core members around I think we can together plan for next months outreach. Lit Great!, I was just about to mention it.
45

(Suddenly Knock, knock). S Yes come in ..................... eei, eei, as for today whatever must happen will happen, Daniel in my house? Dan Praise the Lord, Brothers and Sisters. Response in a chorus - Hi! Hello Amen! S Well you may have a seat, do you care for some water? Dan Oh thats okay thanks. I got information last week that you had been taken ill for sometime so I just popped in to see how you were faring. S Oh thats kind of you and fortunately you have bumped into a very spiritual discussion. I hope it will interest you to contribute. We are just about to discuss on the mode of evangelism we should adopt for our coming outreach, any suggestion. 47 Dan Well if my opinion will be acceptable I suggest that we target a particular area and do door to door evangelism. B.S. I see Daniel, you mean business tycoons like Cri, Liti, Slan and I should condescend and carry bibles in our armpits, moving from house to house witnessing?! Dan after so many years in the faith we must graduate from things like dawn broadcast, preaching in buses and house to house evangelism. Liti (Cuts in sharply) And Dan are you not even taking into consideration that we can easily be mistaken for Jehovahs Witnesses? eh, eh house to house dawn broadcast and bus preaching is for baby Christians. We must mature. Dan can you imagine me being called a Jehovahs witness. Dan Oh but Bro. Someway before you travelled didnt the Lord through us and by this method bring in at least 50 souls into Love Ablaze. Someway was it not through that same method and evangelism that we won Liti, Critico and Bro. Abedi Tyson to Christ. Did we die because we were often mistaken for Jehovahs Witnesses. And besides, you all bear witness to the fact that our generation of unbelievers seem to have developed immunity to mass evangelism and Alter calls. So I think it is only wise for us to also adopt a mode of outreach that will at least help us to save some. Without mass evangelism the false teachers are shamelessly moving from door to door turning souls into destruction but how far are we getting with our diplomatic method? Cri
46

Dan are you God/ Look before we were born the souls were perishing and after we die more will go to hell. There is nothing we can do to salvage the situation. What must be will be, those who must be saved will be saved irrespective of what we do or fail to do. So why should we kill ourselves playing God. Lets do our best and leave the rest to God. S I think I agree with Critico, as president of the fellowship I veto that next months outreach is going to be normal mass evangelism. Our part is to preach and theirs to believe period. If they dont want to go to heaven we cant force them. Neither are we the believers going to lower ourselves beneath the dignity of Jehovahs Witness, thus grieving the Holy Spirit for the sake of wilfully unbelieving souls. The meeting has ended.

48

ACT 6: SCENE 1
Jessica comes to visit Samson on a meeting day and they are watching a Ghanaian film together - Diabolo. J Bro. Samson today is a meeting day oo. Do you think the film will end before the meeting begins. S.D. Oh sure, have no fears. J As for these days you are really getting addicted to T.V. and video. Dont you think it is affecting your devotional life. S.D. Jessica I wont deny it. I am just believing the Lord to strengthen me. (He momentarily puts the video off because of some romantic interlude). J Oh why do you always put it off when these scenes appear, why, are you not a married man? Besides when you are alone dont you watch it all? S.D. You are trying to embarrass me eeh? Because you are a small girl I dont want them to spoil you. J (After some quietness). Bro. eei it is 30 minutes past meeting time shant we be late for the evening service.
47

S.D. In just about 20 minutes time we shall be through. J (After 15 minutes) Jessica comes out and talks to Samson from outside. Dark clouds are forming all-over and it seems it is going to rain. S.D. Well I just have to put on my shirt and we shall be off in a jiffy. J Oh the rain has begun. My goodness we are trapped. S.D. Fear not Jessica, it will stop soon. Come on lets pray and bind it. (The more they pray the more it rains). J Okay Bro. lets just sit around till it subsides. 49 S.D. Well, then in the mean time I hope you dont mind if I slot in another film. I borrowed this old-time film by James Bond the spy who loves me I hope we can while away the time watching it. J Hmm okay. (After sometime Jessica speaks again). J Oh we have missed another meeting, by now it is over and the brethren are also trapped in the church. S.D. Eei! my God it is 12:30 and the rain hasnt stooped I wonder how you are even going home. J Hei! You and your putting off the video but you have been sucking in every detail of these pictures every time you are alone. Why are you shy of me Jessica too? S.D. (Comes to stand on the veranda wondering what he is going to do as the rain seems to be trapping him and Jessica indoors). J Bro. Samson can you believe it , it is now 2:00 a.m. It doesnt matter, let me track through the rain home. After all I am not salt. S.D. Well Jessica, I get your point but it is not safe for a woman to be found walking about alone at this time of the night. The blunder has already been caused. We shall be more careful next
48

time. So I suggest that you bed in the hall and very early at dawn I will wake you up and send you on your way. J Okay, it seems to be the best thing we can do under the circumstances. (Lights go off. And Samson goes to the bedroom). Voices begin to tempt him to go and caress Jessica. He tries to resist it but he finds himself fainting in the face of adversity. All the obscene and pornographic scenes in the films begin to set him ablaze with passion, he is being sexually tempted to seduce Jessica. J Oh no Bro. Samson please do not do that. Where shall we take our shame. How can I ever face your wife after this. Can you just imagine the occasion we shall give people to speak against God and even oh no eeh. S.D. Jessica but . But I love you eh. 50 (After a very little resistance from Jessica they fall into fornication. Immediately after, they all begin to cry and cry and cry till day break). S.D. goes to see her off amidst total silence caused by intense depression.

49

51

ACT 6 : SCENE 2
7 days after the event S.D. and J are still breaking down under the weight of guilt. Finding it unbearable they decided to come and make an open confession to Pastor Napoleon Legalo. Napoleon is in his office preparing to preach on a Sunday morning and the same time having a meeting with Litigranda. Lit Pastor I will need about 2 bags of sugar, 30 tubers of yam and a bag of rice, 19 tins of cornedbeef and about 400,000.00 for the camp. N.L. How many people did you say you were expecting? And for how long is the camp. Lit About 10 ladies, for 7 days. N.L. But dont you think that is too much? Lit Yes Pastor its all strategic, we are doing all that in the hope of creating in them a permanent conviction and desire to always attend camps. (KNOCK, KNOCK) N.L. Hello come in, oh Bro. Samson and Jessica how are you. Its been a very long time since you visited me in my house. Jessica how is the job? Are you a professional seamstress in the making? Well, I will be preaching in about 15 minutes time so if what you have on your hand isnt a lengthy discussion we can deal with it now. S.D.
50

Pastor it is about a week ago that Jessica came to my end to come with me to meeting. When she came I was in the middle of watching a film and knew I would be through with it before the meeting starts. But unfortunately just after the film ended and we were getting ready to come to church, the last weeks rain which stopped at about 4 a.m. started and then we got trapped inside. N.L. Eeeeh! What happened? S.D. Pastor with great shame I confess my sin. I fell into fornication with Jessica. Pastor for 7 days now none of us has been able to even bite a morsel of bread. We are so weighed down with guilt and depression that I believe the only way we could have relief was to disclose it to you. Pastor it was all my fault N.L. Well that is enough. I will see you after the service, lets be going. 52

ACT 6 SCENE 3
(Napoleon gets unto the pulpit to preach, he begins with some weird suggestive prayer). N.L. For the past week I have been sharing with you the profound revelation about the five giants of the Philistines who fell by the hand of David and his servants and the 5 divisions of the Satanic kingdom that the Christian engaged in a wrestle with 2 Sam 21:15 - 22/Eph 6:12. But this morning I feel led to talk about something else. Open your bibles to Deut 22:22-28, others open to John 8:1-5 and then 1 Cor 5. Praise the Lord! Today the spirit of God is going to work marvellously in our midst (SERMON) Bro. S.D. and Sis. Jessica actually deserve death. But we putting them on indefinite suspension.

51

53

ACT 6 : SCENE 4
Slandora couldnt come to church on that day so after service, Critico, Liti, Someway decided to pay her a visit (knock, knock). S Yes come in, oh praise God, I knew you would definitely check me out after church. Crit By the way how is it, I hope you are better. Because with the news we are carrying with us you need a lot of inner stability to hear it. S Hmm, news? Great news eeh? Let it begin to roll then. Crit Infact first take your bible and open to 2 Sam 1:19 - 20,27. S (Reads it). Oh but you people what are you driving at? What are you talking about. Lit Okay open to one more scripture before we fully disclose it to you. Rev. 18:2 S (reads it). Crit Sister the long and short of the whole story is that at long last the battle has ended and our dear Bro. Samson spiritual has been slain by Jessica the witch. S Eeh, what are you saying. That Jessica has floored that too-known brother? Aah well, I am not too surprised. You just joined church and you start behaving like only you have a heart for the needy. Lets see where they will take their shame. Lit
52

Whats more, you know pastor and his uncompromising stand. He has given them indefinte suspension. Infact he even said he wished we were in the O.T., like he will organise some stoning for them.

54

ACT 6 SCENE 4
After a series of bodily aches, fever etc. Jessica finally decides to go for a check up at a hospital where Litigrandas daughter Ako (Parrot) is a nurse. Though she doesnt attend church Jessica knows her to be the daughter of Liti. (Hospital scene) J Hello Ako, praise the Lord. Ako (Turns in surprised) Praise the what? And where do you know me from? J Oh are you not Mrs. Litigrandas daughter. Ako Yes but what is your problem J I came for a medical check up, can you help me to see a doctor? Ako Okay, no problem follow me. Doc. can you help my friend? She came for a medical exam. Doc. (After a few checks here and there. Well you may take her to the lab for a blood test). (They go out for the test, Doc calls Jessica in the presence of Ako and informs her that she contracted HIV about 4 years ago). Ako Eei! Doctor this one dee I find it very difficult to believe. Because she attends the same church with my mother and from the way my mother behaves and talks I could never believe such a thing could happen to a member of their church. Eei wonders will never end. As for this born-again, born-again thing. Only God knows. So in your church do you also sing My body ee na God I go give am oh?
53

55

ACT 6 : SCENE 5
Litigranda is at church waiting for the others then Slandora, Critico, Someway, etc. come in. Lit Eei people are you aware that you people only had the tip of an iceberg. The news I have for you today is kidney splitting. Crit Lit, but let it roll, you know pastor will be in anytime from now and the meeting will begin. Dont wet our appetite and keep us in suspense. Lit (Starts singing) Somebody fall down for ground oh matcha matcha, they fall down for ground oh matcha matcha. S Why has Jessica and Samson had a second round? Lit Worse than that. You know my daughter the nurse, Ako, the great parrot. She returned from work today with the incredible news that Jessica came for a check up today and tested positive for HIV and since the thing is transmitted through sexual intercourse so we can be sure that Bro. too - known Samson too has got the aids.

(Napoleon comes in and ask what they are discussing so seriously) Lit Well pastor I think judgement has really begun on the house of God and all the quacks and charlatans are being smoked out. N.L. Yes what is it. Let me know in plain words. Lit Pastor it has really been indisputably confirmed that Bro. Samson Davidson and Sister Jessica have both contracted the HIV. N.L. If that is really true then we have no alternative but to stiffen our stand against them and save the reputation of both the church and ourselves. You mean they have both got the AIDS? Crit Exactly pastor, it will be very unwise for anybody to even know that these people were our church members. N.L. I wont be shocked at all if in accordance with Jam 5 :14 they send for us but in this particular situation we are to respond with 1 Tim 5 : 22 which says . Nor share in other peoples sins, keep yourself pure if any of you make the mistake of ever visiting them, you share in their judgement.

ACT 7 SCENE 1
Mrs. Davidson receives a letter from her husband informing her of the fact that he has contracted HIV. He tells her how he got it in detail and that Jessica has developed into full blown AIDS. He heartily asks for her forgiveness. Shadrech Mama the bible says we should be anxious about nothing but in all things by prayer & petition, with thanks giving, present your request to God. Phil 4:6. Mesh Mama and for the past 7 days none of us has eaten anything. I believe we have done our part, let us leave the rest to God. Abed Yes mama I think we have prayed enough and God is surely going to do something about the situation, let us therefore not negate the effect of our prayer by complaining and worrying. Mrs. S.D. Children I am so encouraged by your support. I am now making a decisive act to leave the entire matter in the hands of God who can do something about it. I think I must be getting ready to visit them. (Suddenly there is a knock! Knock!) Mrs. S. D. Yes come in .. oh Maame and Abusua Panyin, you are welcome. How are you? What a time to visit, do you care for some water? Anibue Aka Akyire Look Yaa, as for me I want my water in calabash and it shouldnt be iced water and your tasteless pipe borne water okay. Mrs. S.D. Okay, okay Maame how are you and the kids in the village. Maame They are all fine, we have only been wondering why for a long time you havent visited. And also you missed the last three funerals. Yaa why? What is happening to you. (Meanwhile Anibue is displaying high level nkruasesem ). Mrs. S.D. Hmm Maame, and Opanyin Anibue, it is not my fault oh. You know my numerous responsibilities here. As women fellowship leader, a school teacher, my husband who is presently on transfer, I have these three kids to control and manage all alone.
56

Maame But Yaa, you must give priority to certain things at this time. When your uncles grandmothers younger sister died you didnt come, when Paapa Seis brother -in-laws uncle died you were no where to be found and worst of all, last month Opanynin Mempenes aunts younger daughter who got the AIDS in Ivory Coast died, you also absented yourself. Cant you see that I am myself approaching the grave and if you treat other peoples funeral in that way, my own funeral will be a flop. 58 Anibue Eh, you must really consider what your mother is saying. Hasnt your pastor taught you that even the says in Eccl 7:2 It is better to go to the house of the mourning than to go to the house of feasting, again verse 4 says. The heart of the wise is in the house of the mourning, but the heart of the fool is in the house of the mirth. Ah! Yaa that is what your bibles says. What are you gaining from all the praise the Lord, Hallelujah and rejoicing? Eh, look I dont have time for any further explanation, the bible is simply telling you to put attending funerals before attending church services with all the attendant mirth. S.D. But Maame . I have heard, I will try and make amends but now I have a more serious problem on my hand. I just received a letter from Samson. And he says he has contracted the HIV virus. Maame Eei! Yaa! Eei! what are you telling us? Anibue did you hear that? Anibue What? I didnt really get her; what does she mean? Maame She is telling us that his Osofo husband has got AIDS. Anibue Eei, eei, eei, Yaa you see? You see now? Yaa I say you see now? Didnt we warn you about that man? Didnt we strongly warn you not to marry a man from the Dogo tribe because they are notoriously immoral. Yaa you see where this your born-again, born-again, thing is taking you, eei! eei! eei! now we are dead and finished, what a shame. Maame So what are you planning to do now? Anibue Why do you ask her about that? Isnt God himself telling her by the circumstances that he also disapproved of the marriage and that this is the end of it all. Look bring that bible on the TV and let me show you another thing. (He opens to Matt 5:32 and sternly commands Yaa to stand in the middle and read it to all present, Yaa does that). Anibue Dont say any word further, now your husband in the process has committed adultery and we are finishing the whole abominable marriage now, okay? Tomorrow I am going to let you write a divorce letter to him, is that clear? This is a reproach to our noble family. And I as Abusua Panyin, I am not going to tolerate any such people to infiltrate the family. Maame Anibue I dont think we must worry ourselves much about this issue. On the other hand, we can turn the whole event to our advantage. Now nobody ever recovers from this sickness. So
57

it is just a matter of time and the man will be dead thus automatically ending the much hated marriage. But you know, we can just take advantage of our daughters relationship with him and collect some nsawa so let us not rush to break up the marriage now. The thing is already almost ended. 59 Anibue Look Akua, I dont want people to associate our daughter with a dead Dogo man who dies of AIDS. Akua look I am so annoyed, I dont think I can waste time with this stubborn woman. Look we are leaving but we are giving you 2 weeks to decide the fate of that undesired adulterer and AIDS patient before we come back here. (They walk out and Sha, Mesh and Abed come around Mrs. S.D. to encourage her). Mrs. S.D. Oh my God, so what can I do now, eh such reaction from my family after a 7 days fast. Oh God help me. Sha Mama, be steadfast and immovable God, is with us. Mesh Mama, dont be moved by Abusua Panyins rage, God is in control, let us all rally behind Daddy and believe God for a miracle. Abed Mama, God is able to heal Daddy and even if it pleases him to die, let us stand with him till death. Mrs. S.D. Children, I thank God so much for you, I am going to stand by your daddy and even forgive and help that young girl. Lets pray (She thanks God for the situation, thanks God for the husband and Jessica, assures God of her forgiveness for them considering her husbands kindness to her, her own past bad record as a prostitute and Gods mercy on her). She then prepares to go to Accra full of love, forgiveness and mercy.

ACT 7 SCENE 2
Bro. Daniel has paid forsaken Samson a visit in the house Dan Sammy please stop condemning yourself and start really believing God. He is the God of all flesh, is anything too hard for him to do? . S.D. Dan, I am so blessed to have you standing with me in this dark hour of my life. Your exhortation has really kept hope alive in me and there is no way I can pay you back for all this. But how was Jessica the last time you visited her at the hospital. Dan Well it doesnt sound pleasant but Jessicas situation has developed into full-blown AIDS. S.D. Oh God help us. (Knock, knock, knock). Yes please come in (in comes Mrs. S.D., S.D. falls at her feet and begins to keep pleading her mercy, forgiveness etc. but she does her best to restrain him and comfort him). Mrs. S.D. Oh Sammy please I have long forgiven you and I believe God too has forgiven you. Just get yourself together and lets believe God for a miracle. By the way how is Jessica? Dont think I am holding anything against her too. I have wholeheartedly forgiven her. After all, as a young girl, I did a lot of immoral things which could have earned me AIDS too. As an unbeliever didnt I also break and destroy homes and marriages and if after all this God has forgiven me and blessed me with a good husband like you, what right do I have to hold anything against either you or Jessica. Sammy I promise you before God our father that I have sincerely forgiven you both and I am even believing God to miraculously intervene. Dan Oh Mrs. S.D. how gracious! I am so surprised and full of praise. I cant remember the last Christian I saw displaying such grace of heart. May the Lord too deal mercifully and kindly with you in all things. If you dont mind I will be paying Jessica a visit at the hospital tomorrow, can you come along. Mrs. S.D. Sure I will be around, I even bought some few things for her. I will surely like to see her. But before you leave Bro. Dan lets share a word of prayer and a meal. Sammy I am going to prepare your best meal! (They share exhortation given by Dan, pray and then eat before parting company). Mrs. S.D. Sammy it is really a long time since I came over. And it seems as though the area has undergone a lot of changes. Do you mind if we go for a walk in the evening. Are you fit enough. S.D. Oh dear I dont mind at all. After being indoors for so long it will really be refreshing.

(Mrs. S.D. and Dan pay Jessica a visit at the hospital). Mrs. S.D. Hello Jessica, my dear girl, I have really missed you. It will be okay alright. God is with us as our ally okay. J Oh mama please forgive me, please forgive me mama, please forgive me (she begins to sob and cry uncontrollably but Mrs. S.D. puts her hands comfortably around her and repeatedly assures her of her forgiveness. Mrs. S.D. exhort her, letting her know that she could have done the same thing but for the mercy of God . etc). Mrs. S.D. Jessica I bought you some few things, I hope to bring you more when I come next time (she gives her 10 tins of milk, 4 tins of corned beef, 3 already made dresses etc.) before they leave Mrs. S.D. calls on Dan to pray for them and commit Jessica into the hands of the Lord. They promise to come for her to spend the week-end with them at home next time.

ACT 7 SCENE 4
Liti, Critico and Boga decide to pay Slandora a visit. As usual she is found sipping alcoholic bitters and listening to Daddy Lumba. (Knock, knock, knock). S Yes come in oh I am so blessed again, come in and make yourselves comfortable. Any news? What is the latest. Crit Well have you already been informed that Dan has been visiting those sinners? S But that is dead news. Shouldnt we expect a too known person like him to do that? Lit As for him if he doesnt take time Jessica will corner him right on her bed of death with the AIDS. But you guys, today I have the latest toli in town. S Oh then let it roll. I am itching to hear something newer than latest. Lit Well this is first hand info from my daughter the nurse. She says S.D.s wife is in town and shockingly she has been visiting Jessica at the hospital with Dan. And that she always visit with a lot of gifts for the witch who has caused her husbands downfall. She even said on Friday she came to ask for special permission from Jessicas doctor to take the girl home to spend the week-end with the family! That is the strangest news in town. Crit That is unbelievable. What kind of wife is this woman at all. I mean it just beats my mind. Even if I heard that she had gone to the hospital to club the witch to death, I would have considered it normal and expected, or if she hadnt even bothered to see the face of the witch, that one koraa would have been unmerited kindness. But to behave in this inhuman and strange way just beats my reasoning. By the way is she really born-again? or may be she is also a witch. You know they say blood is thicker than water, but Spirit is thicker than blood. S As for me, I just dont know what to say. I dont think I would have been more surprised to hear that Satan has repented of his sins. I think the woman needs counselling. Boga May be the girl has bewitched the wife too after seducing the husband. That is most likely. I am more convinced that she is a witch. The way I hope you guys are coming for Evg. Abanas crusade. S Ah where else could I be. I hear the man is really anointed. I must go and see some of the miracles.

63
61

Crit Look you just reminded me. I am supposed to meet pastor and go with him in his car. It is very painful when people are talking about miracles and you cant contribute. Today I am going to see the thing feli feli.

S.D., Mrs. S.D. Dan, Jessica are all at Mrs. S.D.s house for a weekend. They are watching Rev. Benny Hynns vidoe. Mrs. S.D. Jessica isnt it great to have a change, after all you cant always be at the hospital. I believe you will be happier if the hospital permits you to spend the weekends at home. J Thank you very much mama. I will certainly be better refreshed at home. S.D. What did you say the name of the preacher is, darling? Mrs. S.D. He is Rev. Benny Hynn from Orlando U.S.A. S.D. Oh! so all these cassettes were in the system and I kept corrupting myself with all that filth, oh God have mercy on me. Dan Oh Bro. S.D. I have told you repeatedly, lets leave yesterdays bygones in Gods hands and trust him for a better tomorrow. Remember that with God all things are possible. J Hei, you people lets listen to that young mans testimony!. healed of AIDS that is unbelievable. Look another AIDS patient has gotten healed. Oh mama, how I wish this man of God visits the country or even I was at the program. Oh mama so it is very possible for God to heal an AIDS patient? Oh how can we get God to help us? Dan But you know that man of God holding the crusade at the sports complex is also mightily anointed and if we go in faith we may also enjoy a visitation of the Lord. S.D. Did you say the crusade was starting at 6:30 p.m.? Then we must be getting ready to leave, because it is almost 6:00 p.m. Mrs. S.D. Oh you people I am so filled with joy and hope and faith; I believe we are in for a miracle. But before we leave lets have a word of prayer. Will Jessica pray for us? (They prayed thanking God and forgiving Napoleon and his bunch etc.).

ACT 7 SCENE 5

They are all at the crusade ground. Pastor Napoleon in there with all his members. Mr. and Mrs. S.D., Dan and Jessica too are there. Before Rev. Westsone Abana comes to stage, the Lords Anointed Motorcade Ministers in songs. Afterwards the man of God is introduced and he gives a very powerful message based on Ps 107:17-20, Jer 8:20-22, Is 33:24, Hezekiah, Esther, Ps 27:13 etc. REV. WESTONE ABANAS SERMON Hallelujah! We are grateful to God for another opportunity of fellowship with him and with one another in the word. I know there are many here today who are sick, bound and oppressed in your souls. We are assembled before the Lord this day with various burdens, cares and needs and the Lord is ready, able and willing to touch you tonight. Yet I will plead with you to wholeheartedly pay attention to the preaching of the word. For therein lies the solution to all of our problems. Is it not written in Lk 5:15 and Lk 6:17 that and great multitudes came together to HEAR and to be HEALED by Him of their infirmities. Do you want to be healed tonight!?.. then be ready to HEAR! For the entrance of his words gives light and the darkness of sin, diseases, demonic oppression and death cannot comprehend it. Oh that my people will HEAR me today! Open your bibles to Jer 8:21-22 For the hurt of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. I am mourning; astonishment has taken hold of me. Is there no balm in Gilead, is there no physician there? In a moment I want us to consider whether our situations are as hopeless as we are tempted to think and believe at time. But if they are not so hopeless and beyond solution then why do we go on suffering under them? Most of you here today will agree with me that in our hour of distress and trouble we turn to every other corner in the hope of finding a solution except the PLACE we are expected to turn to. We do every other thing in our hour of need in the hope of Salvation but what are we expected to do. Some are here today with incurable diseases, some of you the doctor has labelled your case as terminal and so forth. because of the nature of your infirmity you wished you had lived in the days of the Son of Man. May be you are suffering from leprosy, you at times wished you were living in the days of Elisha through whom Naaman the leper got healed. Some of you wished you had been born earlier so as to live in the days of John G. Lake, Smith Wiggleworth, William Branham and Kathryn Kulman. And since time cant be rewound for your history to be re-adjusted you are cast into a state of despondency. There are also some who have and are suffering for so long because you are waiting for the day Rev. Benny Hynn or Oral Roberts or Kenneth Hagin will come and hold a crusade at the Accra Sports Stadium. You are convinced in your heart that on that day you will be healed! But is it really true, and are you not living in an illusion. Some of you are just waiting for Rev. Eastwood Anaba or Rev. Ampiah Kwofie or Vaglas Cancor who are credited with healing and power ministries to lay hands on you at your church convention. You are convinced that, then you will be healed. But can it be true! Listen to me my friends and stop grieving the Holy Spirit. Is not a MASTER greater and SUPERIOR to his servant? When the Lord Jesus Christ who is the head of his body, the church said in Jhn. 16:7 that It is expedient (to your advantage) that I go away; for if I do not go away, the HELPER will not come to you, but if I depart, I will send HIM to you, who was that HELPER he was referring to? Could it be somebody less than Himself? Could he be somebody who had to depend on him for strength? Could it be Paul, Smith Wiggleworth, Benny Hynn or Eastwood Anaba? Come on! Tell me! Who was he referring to? Has he come? And if he has come I want to know from you whether he is able and willing to give the expected HELP, COMFORT, STRENGTH
64

AND ENLIGHTENMENT? Why then is the sickness of the daughter of my people not healed? Ask the Lord. My people have looked to every other PERSON except ME. In their distress they have done every other thing for a solution except what THEY MUST DO! Because of the enormity of their mountain they have despised and lowly esteemed the simplicity of Gods solution. Here they are again weeping, mourning, grieving in self pity and yet holding in their hands the key that opens the door into the TRUTH that LIBERATES and waiting for someone like themselves to come from America or if possible from the dead to open the door for them with the same KEY - THE HOLY SPIRIT. Are you the first to go through the kind of difficulty you are presently experiencing? And will you be the last? Alas! my brother, what situation do you find yourself in, that blind Bartimeus did not encounter, my childless sister - didnt Sarah, Rebecca,Hannah and Elizabeth precede you in difficulty in childbearing. Are you the first to hear from a Physician that your case is terminal, put your house in order! no! Righteous King Hezekiah got that hope quenching word not from a mere doctor but from no other person than the prophet of God Almighty. Are you suffering from loss of wealth, a job, loved ones, friends, indignity and reproach? Oh my brother Job and Jabez preceded you. You say I am hemmed in, my enemies are stronger than me and they have encamped against me, but have you forgotten Jehoshaphat when three nations came against him and Hezekiah when the King of Assyria came with all his mighty men against him or even Esther and Mordecai when the enemy managed to get the Kings decree to exterminate her race. Certainly you are not the first and will not be the last! But all these people overcame their mountains, in their hour of distress because they did something you are failing to do - the bible says they cried unto the Lord. And all these beautiful testimonies being recorded for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Awake! Enough of crying, grieving, pointing accusing fingers on others for your distresses, leaning on the arm of flesh etc.; begin to do what they did in their distress, and you will get what they got, HELP FROM ABOVE. Fools! So does the Spirit call them in Ps 107:17-20, and you may humbly identify with them because of their transgression and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble. And he saved them out of their distresses. HE SENT HIS WORD AND HEALED THEM, AND DELIVERED THEM FROM THEIR DESTRUCTION. Is there no balm in Gilead! Is there no physician there! So is there no solution to your problem? Is there no answer to your question! Is there no help nor hope? Certainly there is, for he has revealed himself to them as Jehovah - Rapha, the Lord your healer and his balm is his word! But my people are not healed because they have failed to cry unto me, the present and ALMIGHTY Holy Spirit who is in them neither have they built confidence in my BALM, THE WORD. Who has believed our report and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Surely he has borne our grieves and carried our sorrows: Yet we esteemed Him stricken smitten of God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon him and BY HIS STRIPS WE ARE HEALED! BY HIS STRIPS WE ARE HEALED! BY HIS STRIPS WE ARE HEALED! If you believe the Holy Spirit is telling you the truth rise on your feet wherever you are in this auditorium and begin to thank and worship the Lord!!! 67

ACT 7 SCENE 5
There is an abundance of proper slaying, healing etc. There is a specific word of knowledge for S.D. and Jessica and they get healed. In the meantime. Cri
65

So Pastor do you believe in this slaying? The people fall without even him touching them. As for this I will go try and see. N.L. Critico this is unbelievable, I wonder whether this slaying is really true. As for this let me go and test it for myself. I will intentionally go and join the healing line. (They came out of the auditorium) Critico! I just cant understand what is happening to me. For the first time in my life and ministry I am experiencing the reality of the power of God in a dimension I have never known. Cri Pastor the same applies to me infact I have never felt so sinful, unworthy and so far away from God. Yet I cant help my doubts concerning the way the Holy Spirit is using this man. N.L. Brother I think we are undergoing a common experience. Nevertheless I would like to be very sure about the power working on this man. Because unlike me and many others I have witnessed, the spirit doesnt seem to push him to push others. How can people fall and be slain in the spirit even before he lays hands? Cri But how can we verify its genuineness? N.L. I have an idea, it may sound sacrilegious but lets pray that the Lord will pardon us about this one, because our motives are genuine and sincere. Cri Yes Pastor what is the idea? N.L. Critico, may the Lord bear with our unbelief, but I want to suggest that we feign sickness and join the healing line and test for ourselves the genuineness of the power working on him which causes people to fall even before he touches them. Cri Okay, okay Pastor that is a good idea. But do you go alone or the two of us should go. N.L. Let us both go for a better confirmation. [Before the tips of the evangelist finger makes contact with them, they are already on the floor. Being deeply convicted of their sin and lukewarmness, they are also crying profusely and uncontrollably they decide to make a personal appointment with the Man of God for help].

68

Altar call at Rev. Westones crusade.

Rev. Westone God bless you young ones. Today you have given your life to Christ, you have become Gods own children. By the way what are your names.
66

Ras I am Ras and this guy is Rambo and the paddy be Soweto. Rev. Ah you mean to tell these are the names your responsible parents gave you? Rambo No Sir, but these are names friends gave us when we first entered secondary school. The real name of Ras is Raymond Patterson, Soweto is the nickname of Frederick Kennedy but unfortunately for myself because I have used this nickname for so long I can only remember my first name i.e. Lionel. Rev. I see, I hope you will do a quick search for your surname. God bless you. I hope to see you again after you see the counsellors.

69

ACT 7 SCENE 6
Critico and Liti and Boga meet in Slandoras house. Critico is bossing them about his joint adventure trip with Pastor Napoleon during the crusade. They all sincerely confess how they have come under the conviction of sin. Critico informs them that Napoleon and the Evg. are due to come there any time from then. S Critico did you say pastor was going to meet us here with the Evg?
67

C Exactly, they could be in anytime from now. Infact for the past 4 days not even a morsel of food has entered Pastors mouth. I myself have never come under the conviction of sin as I feel now.. Lit I tell you nothing made me feel more sinful and wrong as when the power of the Lord fell on Bro. Samson and Jessica and healed them. Friends I think we have really been sinning and we surely need to apologise to Jessica and Samson. What do you say about it Slandora. S Liti you couldnt be more right. I believe we must all join Pastor and humble ourselves with fasting and seek a re-visitation of the Lord. I am now seeing clearly that we have all drifted from the ancient paths of purity and truth. I am particularly convicted of the evil speaking, slandering, gossiping and vain speaking over the years. We have allowed it to get a better part of us. Boga Friends it is so clear that we had all backslidden in heart and I think I was the worst. I suggest that we all fall on our faces and begin seeking the face of the Lord. S Critico please open the drawer and bring out all those cassettes with the corrupting worldly music and go and clean them and put truly inspired crife music on them all. Moreso please go and pour all the bitters out of the bottles. If we have all truly repented I believe we must prove it with good works. I also have a pack of unclean video cassettes I watch alone. Please try and clean them too for me. (Critico gets up and does exactly that) Boga Down with all the earrings and ungodly ways of dressing.(He removes the earrings, falls on his face and begins to pray). Lit If we have sincerely repented then I suggest that we rise up at once and visit Bro. Samson and Jessica and humbly render our most sincere apology. S Liti I believe you are really right but I will like to suggest that we wait a little for Pastor and the Evg. who are due here anytime from now. 70 (Knock, knock, knock) S Praise the Lord Pastors, you are most welcome. We were expecting you anytime from now. N.L. Well Evg. these are my board members. Miss Slandora is their leader and also the leader of the prayer department. That is Brother Critico, he is almost like a Timothy to me, then that is Brother Someway alias Boga, he is a founding member of the church, but he left for Holland 3
68

years ago and has just returned. Mrs. Litigranda is a business tycoon, a globe trotter. Evg. you are at home. S Evg. you are most welcome. I thank God so much for bringing you to town at this time for a much needed spiritual awakening in our lives as individuals and also as a church. That the Holy Spirit working through you has deeply convinced us of our sin, lukewarmness of heart, compromise and negligence of our Christian responsibilities. We all concede the fact that we have sincerely failed. Infact just before you came in we were thinking of visiting the brother and sister who were healed of AIDS during the crusade to ask for forgiveness and also restore them back to church. N.L. Oh praise God for working off his spirit in our midst today. Because that is exactly what Evg. and myself had planned doing after leaving here. To visit Samson and Jessica and ask for their pardon. So if we all share a common view then I believe it will even be better if we move there together. Evg. Oh blessed be God who through Jesus Christ his son has reconciled us back to himself not counting our sins against us and has committed unto us the ministry of reconciling men to God, and to one another through Jesus Christ. Lets be going, the Lord is with us and I sense he is about to do greater things for us. But before we go lets read through Eze 34:1.

71

ACT 7 SCENE 7
In S.D.s house, S.D., Mrs. S.D., Jessica, Dan are together rejoicing and praising God 3 days after the crusade. S.D. Darling I know of people loosing all appetite for food as a result of sickness, grief etc. but I think I am the first to loose all desire for food for 3 days as a result of joy. I tell you I am celebrating my miracle on cloud 9. Dan
69

Now that the Lord has had mercy on us and also healed us I believe we must also prove to the brethren that we have forgiven them for their unkind treatment by going to church this Sunday. Mrs. S.D. Sure, if they will only receive us we shall rejoin them. J I think I even saw Bro. Critico at the crusade ground. Yes let us sincerely get reconciled. If the Lord in his mercy has forgiven and healed us I dont think it is too much for us to forgive and get reconciled. By the way mama did you send the telegram home last week-end. Mrs. S.D. Yes my dear I am even expecting members of my family to pop in when they read the testimony . (Suddenly : Knock, knock). Mrs. S.D. Come in please: in walks Abusua Panyin, Anibue Aka Akyire and Mrs. S.D.s mother. After the normal greetings and drinking of water Mrs. S.D. Maame and Opanyin you are welcome. I hope you got the telegram and the news of my husbands healing? Anibue What else could bring us here. We are here for personal verification, because we have always been told that there is no cure for this sickness. And also your transfer letter has come. You can now join your husband permanently in Accra. Mrs. S.D. Hurray! At long last the battle has ended. Oh yes Opanyin you are right, surely human ingenuity has not been able to come up with any cure for AIDS but with our God all things are possible. When we left the crusade ground we went to the hospital to verify if indeed a miracle of healing had taken place, after a series of checks the doctors could not find even one virus of HIV in the blood.

72 Anibue This beats my mind. But if it is indeed true and I believe it is true, then from this very day I am finished with the kwaku firi shrine, I have burnt all my idols in advance and I am wholeheartedly joining you in serving and worshipping your God. How do I begin. Mrs. S.D. Nana, if you sincerely believe it is vain serving idols and you want to serve the living God then please rise up, lift up your hands and say this prayer after us. Bro. Dan lead us in the sinners prayer, Maame too can join.

70

73

ACT 7 SCENE 8
As soon as they finished the sinners prayer there is a knock and in walks Pastor Napoleon, Evg., Slandora, Liti, Boga and Critico. ( Knock, knock, knock) Mrs. S.D. Yes come in .. Oh Pastor you are most welcome. Dan, J, S.D. Oh Pastor we are blessed to have you here, you are most welcome (S.D. goes to embrace him, meanwhile Liti, Slan stroll into the room full of apprehension).
71

Bro. S.D. But all of you feel comfortable. Dan please look inside the other room and bring in more chairs? Feel at home friends for the Lord had done great things for us all and we are full of gladness. N.L. Evg. I hope you can recognise the Bro. and Sister who had the miracle the other day? Yes that is Bro. Samson and Sister Jessica. Well! men of God though I had definitely resolved to come and humbly apologise to my sheep and also get reconciled to them I least expected this kind of reception in view of the unchristian treatment we gave them. Bro. Samson I and my board have come here purposely to say we are sorry for the unkind treatment meted out to you. We believe we have not only wronged you but also sinned against God greatly. The Lord has proved us wrong and we acknowledge our shortcoming, so please also forgive us. S.D. Pastor we must sincerely confess the fact that we were really hurt and very embittered by how you treated us but now we want to assure you and the rest of the brethren that we have long forgiven you. In fact we believe we received this miracle because we were able to forgive and let go. Moreso if the Lord has forgiven our more grievous sin against him, what right do we have to hold on to a grudge against you. Pastor we intend coming to church this Sunday to share our testimony. S Oh Bro. Samson may God bless you; we are so very grateful that you have forgiven. I want to prove the sincerity of my repentance by returning to Jessica in full the 150,000.00 you paid to me as apprenticeship fee, also I am donating to her a brand new sewing machine. I also promise to give her pocket money for T&T and food every day she comes to work. She may also vacate that single room at Choko and come and live freely in my boys quarters at Airport Residential area. Mrs. S.D. Oh how gracious of you Mrs. Slandora. Jessica should be really grateful. Boga Oh Bro. Dan we have now seen that you were not colo, but we had rather backslidden in heart. You can be sure from hence forth we are going to tread back on the ancient spiritual paths and truthful worship with you. 74

ACT 7 SCENE 9
[Knock, knock Then enters Ras, Rambo and Soweto] Mrs. S.D. Yes come in .. hello can I help you gentlemen? Lionel Yes madam, we are after the Pastor of Love Ablaze Int somebody informed us that we will find him here. Mrs. S.D. Oh come in then, he is here. Pastor, visitors. N.L. Hello gentlemen can I help you.

[In the meantime Frema and Adwoa are having two man trying to recall whether they were not their rapist]. Rev. W.A. Yes I think I remember these young men. Were you not amongst those who gave their lives to Christ at the crusade. I think I even remember chatting with you. Oh! yes I now remember you very well; have you found out your real name now? Rambo Yes Rev. my full name is Lionel Devine. Rev.W.A. See what a beautiful name your father gave you and you want to change it for a meaningless name like Ras or is it Rambo? N.L. Well gentlemen can we help you? Rambo Yes Sir, truly we were also at the crusade where we got properly born-again. But there is this sin that we committed together as unbelievers which we are finding difficult to forgive ourselves. Pastor to cut everything short about 7 months ago we deceived and raped two ladies in your church. We now feel very sorry for our crime and have come to see you to convey our most sincere apology to the ladies. Frema Yes!yes! pastor as soon as they entered I recognised them but Adwoa had her doubts. Well Pastor if they are now truly born-again and are sorry for what they did, then we also want to assure them of our forgiveness before the Lord. Adwoa No doubt Pastor, their act has left a very deep wound on our souls, but these days when I rethink about the whole event I concede the fact that in a way we are also to be blame for what happened to us; can you smear toilet on yourself and not expect to attract flies? or can you pour sugar on the floor and not expect ants to be attracted to it? Pastor we have learnt a very important lesson in a hard way but we have sincerely forgiven. 75 S Sisters I am very grateful that you have forgiven. Today we have real proof that the kingdom of God is in our midst here, the citizens enjoy forgiveness of sins and healing. Yes the scripture reads: And the inhabitant will not say, "I am sick"; The people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity Isa 33:24. I think I also share fairly in the blame for what happened to our sisters, for it was through my misleading example and erroneous teaching that caused them to violate their conscience in a wrong way. In the context of every society and culture, the average level minded man on the streets knows what is modest, decent, acceptable, presentable and proper but in our desire to gratify self and give free vent to our ego we all know how to come up with foolish and yet seemingly convincing arguments to justify our apparent indulgence. We must dress to be attractive but also decent and presentable, making it our aim to commend ourselves before God and the conscience of every man. Nevertheless shabbiness, scruffiness and eccentricity must never be equated to holiness and modesty. Frema and Adwoa, we have all learnt a very important lesson the hard way, nevertheless you shouldnt allow it to drive you to this extreme. Your present outfit makes
73

you look like two weirdoes or scare crows in our midst. Moreso, in these days where preaching the word of God strongly precedes most cases of madness, if you try to witness to an unbeliever in this state wont he at sight take you for a mental patient who has just escaped from the asylum. Come on, the truth is in our heart, we know what is decent and acceptable -let us do it. Lionel We are also now settling with you as committed members of this church, henceforth we shall come and minister freely to the Lord by instruments - no more bashing for money.

76 Evg. Brethren in all my life and ministry I have never witnessed the Spirit of God move amongst a group of believers as a result of repenting towards God, confessing and forgiving each other. I think I now understand what the Apostle meant when he said Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. All of you hear what the Spirit says: 1ST PROPHECY To N.L., because you have repented and truly humbled yourself, I increase the anointing 7 times, you are going to have the gifts of power move in your life as never before, you are going to have 60 branches of L. A. in each continent. 2ND PROPHECY To Slandora, because you have repented, within a space of 2 years you will be commanding billions of dollars and I give you a .. 3RD PROHECY To Jessica, prepare yourself greatly in the word and obedience and prayer, for your husband is a Pastor and in a matter of 3 months he will be in.
74

To the rest, blessings and promotions etc. Evg.; He prays for them all and raises the song : THEN SINGS MY SOUL MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ART! then HE LAID ASIDE HIS MAJESTY, JESUS LOVER OF MY SOUL, I WILL NEVER GO THIS WAY AGAIN. Evg: Nevertheless before I sit down I feel led to read the following scriptures to you . AMP 2 Tim 3:1 - 6, 2 Pet 2:1-22, Rom:1-32.

SATANS LAMENTATIONS
At the very end of the drama, Satan and his counsel are still at the meeting. Satan is up and pacing up and down the stage saying: Satan For through a chain of painful experiences I am understanding the words of Job that the triumphing of the wicked is short and the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment, though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens and his head reaches to the clouds yet he will perish forever like his own dung; those who have seen him will say where is he? Alas my men! Alas my men when at all are we going to enjoy one long victory eh! But you Secretary for Misinformation I accuse you of not being fast enough. Then you, Minister for Fretting and Spreading of incurable diseases you should have killed that girl earlier. Now I want you to work on speeding up the H.I.V into A.I.D.S. and a quick death, is that clear? Secretary for Misinformation, yes your hands is up what your problem. Sec Sir, I think my sensors are sending signals that the dangerous smoke created by the praise and worship of the saints is approaching us. And since none of us has brought any of our already poor gas-masks, I suggest that we escape and flee from here now while we have the opportunity. Sat You shut your big too-known mouth okay! One more word and I will give you the sack from the counsel. Remember that through your Misinformation I have always miscalculated and lost very important battles [tsi! tsi! tsi! They all begin to cough and grasp for air] hei! hei! flee for your lives, flee for your lives, flee for your lives; today his information seems right. I can hear their praise and worship and the smoke is already beginning to fill the air. Flee lest you die of suffocation!! [The stage is getting smoky as the repentant church begins to praise God from the background; Satan and his cohorts are coughing badly, they are falling on one another in their attempt to flee. Files are flying everywhere. At long last they all manage to flee but Satan. He tripped over his throne and broke his leg; his crown has fallen down, black hood is tattered, he is limping badly] he lies perfectly still on the stage till the praise and worship subsides. Sat Ah, ah oh at long last it has ceased, what a relief. Even these little imps managed to escape before me! Oh poor me and my hip bone is hurting badly. But cant I workout any strategy to cease these people from singing and being joyful in glory? Eh. Cant I steal their high praises from their mouths and the two edged sword from their hands. Because I never feel as beaten
75

as when they are singing and praising. Eh what is all this, I feel bound with chains and fetters of iron. Alas, my poor soul!! So when will I ever taste victory again? When will I ever show clean armpit to cameras. If you came to hear then let me narrate to you the chain of defeats and disappointment I have suffered. My troubles begun in Heaven where I schemed, planned and calculated. I had the best of arms and supporters that could ever be assembled against the Most High. There was no room left for defeat. My dream was to unseat the Most High and sit in the sides of the north. Yet for reasons I can never explain I could not prevail; I received a painful big boot in the back which has left me a hunch back till now. I lost my place in heaven with a third of the Angelic host. I consoled myself with building my throne in the 2 nd heavens; and then when the Almighty re-created the earth and planted Adam in the garden I quickly went down to deceive them and possess their inheritance thus expanding my dominion. Though I admit my greed, yet I was quite content with my new dominion until the day I saw God the Son on earth. Infact I was so confused and disturbed about his presence. I wondered what His mission could be? So right in the cradle we begun to scheme to do away with him. We could never lay hands on him till his 33rd year on earth. How we celebrated, how we rejoiced, we said at long last we have got this pest. We didnt waste time killing him. Oh but had I and my rulers of this age known what his death was going to result in, we would never have crucified the Lord of glory. For when we thought we had overcome and ridiculed him, little did we know that through his apparent weakness on the cross the all wise-God was disarming all we principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of us and triumphing over us in it. Alas, my poor soul! How can I ever forget that historic and humiliating disarmament conference. Can I even rightly call it a conference? Because there was no room for negotiation or discussion. We were drinking our heads off, celebrating our victory then suddenly we heard a loud voice like the sound of trumpet, command. Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the king of glory shall come in! Then my gate man, death, asked trembling all over, who is this king of glory? Then the voice came again, this time sending echoes all though hell! The Lord strong and mighty , the Lord mighty in battle! Then my other gate man, Hades rushed to me to inquire who this MIGHTY IN BATTLE could be; but before he could speak a word, that rude and terrible voice commanded again; this time causing a mighty quake in all and breaking open the prisons which were specially reserved for the souls of righteous men. Lift up your heads, O you gate! And lift them up, you everlasting doors! And the King shall come! The command came again. This time around with a trembling voice I questioned the voice myself Who is the King of glory? Then suddenly to my uttermost surprise the gates of Hades and Death swung open, and fell flat on their backs; then in walked the man who 2 days ago I had declared 30 days of partying in my kingdom to celebrate my victory over him. Then as he approached my throne he proclaimed I am the Lord of host, I am the King of glory. Suddenly my gate man fled into the pits, I myself begun to shake like a leaf in the wind, my knees buckled and I tried to take cover under my fallen throne. He just walked to me and without a word disarmed me of the keys of death and Hades. He then opened more prison doors setting some of my captives free and taking them along with him. But before he finally
76

left he stood briefly at the fallen gates and pointed to the lake of fire beckoning me to see my LAST STOP! LAST STOP! OH LAST STOP! How it grieves me to think about it. Eternity in the lake of fire!. 79 Instead of 30 days of Joyous celebration we had about 10 years of great mourning. Undaunted as I am after the years of mourning we set about to reorganise ourselves and do battle against his church. Though we suffered much defeat and humiliations, yet through persistent persecutions, inquisitions and unbearable pressures we managed to do away with many of the true saints who upheld the true word of God and believed in the power of the Holy Spirit. Then we infiltrated into the positions of control in the church and quickly begun to substitute the unadulterated, the true Spiritual power. For the first time in centuries we seem to be enjoying some victory; we never wasted time in quelling any opposition which tried to show its ugly head. we sent our servants into his church in his name, and in his name opposed everything he stood for: they called us the anti-christ. But at the point we thought at last we had succeeded in suppressing the TRUTH that liberates and also quenched the fire of His spirit is their hearts, suddenly our servant Martin Luther rebelled and the reformation begun. It all begun like a mustard seed; still the amount of truth in the system wasnt enough to dislodge us. Then others begun to rebel against our traditions and philosophies, spreading the revival fires around the earth and giving rise to a number of churches which didnt embrace most of our traditions; that in turn gave birth to the rise of missionary work which spread the fire to the other parts of the world including this dark continent of dark skinned people. Despite all this we didnt feel too threatened because our traditions were still prevailing to a large extent keeping many more ignorant of the scripture and the power of God. But ever since the fire of Pentecost and Charismatism begun to be restored to the church I tell you I havent had things easy at all. I have lost too much ground and with the passage of each day I loose more as the mustard tree gains in size and vitality. Alas, my soul! Who will sympathise with me? I have never worked on more wiles and strategies as I am forced to do now. Yet all end up in defeat and frustrations. Then I said to myself; this is a pleasure loving and easy going generation. The world and church alike. Unlike their fathers this is a church that can only carry a pleasure padded cross; never ready to sacrifice a bit of self-indulgence for the sake of their master and His cause. Therefore I said to myself through getting them to love self more I can subtly steal from them the incorruptible gold of pure spiritual worship and power and substitute it with the cheap brass of fleshy demonstrations and vain showmanship. But alas, I have failed again! again! again! Woe! Woe! Woe! is me! For I have stirred up the sleeping giant, the mighty and terrible army of the Lord, and who can stand before them? Oh! that the Philistines had slain Samson earlier on, while they had the opportunity, but they foolishly gave themselves to more celebrations and rejoicing then suddenly he arose and turned their dancing into mourning. Woe! Woe! Woe! is me! For I am undone! A man of sorrows and doomed to eternal griefs for I have stirred up the sleeping giant. I can see His head rising again in Palestine in the regions of the Holy-land, the heart I had dulled and made numb in America has begun to beat again sending blood into the entire body on the continents of Africa he has begun to kick his feet which are so beautiful to behold on the mountains, shod with the preparation of the gospel Peace and sending out anointed missionaries all around the globe; those arms which once gave me black eyes in Europe and Asia, but I finally managed to put in handcuffs already set loose dismantling my mighty regimes of communism and causing unbearable havoc. Woe! Woe! Woe! is me! FOR THE PRODIGAL CHURCH IS COMING TO ITS SENSES, she is making a detour unto the ancient paths of purity, love and faith, and the
77

everlasting arms of her loving father are stretched out in readiness to receive and restore her former prominence, dignity, glory, grace and power 7 fold. 80 Oh! Oh! Oh! But who at all will help me bear my sorrow and shame? For in addition to this nothing scares and depresses and breaks my heart more than when I think of the fact that I too will bow my stiff rheumatic knees and openly confess before all creations that: Je! Je! Je! No! I wont mention his name! Eh! eh! He is Lord! The Lord of Lords and King of Kings. [He then begins to cry wildly, making strange noises]. [The saints are singing in the background IT IS A FUN TO SEE SATAN LOOSE]. He is almost going down on his knees. Sat No, no, no, I wont bend my knees now, and I shant confess that he is Lord now! No I withdraw my confession right now! Until I hear the trumpet, I will never give up harassing the saints, but woe to those saints who miss the first flight to Gloryland, I shall take vengeance on them in the tribulation train before I go to the last stop, the lake of fire and be no more. [He begins to cry again, limping and carrying his crown in his hand, he leaves the stage].
