Conclusion
Introduction
After college, I realized that there were certain happenings in my life that I never got lessons on at any of the regular schools I attended. There were storms that I went through and questions in my heart that needed urgent answers. Even though I was regular in church, I thought God was a far away phenomenon until He visited me, and spoke with me which marked the beginning of a new life for me. He alone had the answers to my questions.
The happenings around me suddenly stirred me up to the reality of the spirit realm and the need to understand the implications of my mediocrity in that area. Several experiences I have had in life reiterate the existence and nearness of God as well as the spirit realm.
I was not looking for God but He located me and re- directed my life. I learnt that equipments manufactured at some factory come with a manual, which must be strictly adhered to, otherwise spoilage is evident. I realized that God manufactured me and had a manual for my life which He wanted me to know and follow. I discovered how real and close He could be thus an uncommon quest for more of God was born in me which has been exhilarating and satisfying.
This book therefore is a narrative of some unusual happenings I came across and how I navigated through. I believe it will answer some unspoken questions and help to situate some experiences you might have had. This book is thrilling and valuable. Indeed, it is Weird and Wonderful
Happy Reading!

My phone rang. It was from our headquarters office. They were concluding plans of making me boss as the most senior in the branch office. They were replacing my boss for some misbehavior she did.
I was to be discrete about the takeover while I awaited my letter. A week or two later, rather than get the letter, one of my colleagues showed up to announce to us that he was the new boss as the former had been relieved of her post.
I wondered what had happened back there.
I learnt later that while I was quietly waiting for my letter there was lobbying going on and money was changing hands. Eventually, it went to the highest bidder.
He was my colleague, I gave him his due respect but he was wicked and mean to everyone. He had all the vices you could think off…. girls, money, alcohol….
After a couple of years, his posting suddenly came to another organization while I was to replace him. He didn’t like it and was not ready to leave. He decided to ignore directives from headquarters and set up a stooge crony whom he brought from somewhere to replace him. Luck ran out against the two of them and I was installed boss.
The day I was to resume in that office, the Lord warned me not to remove my shoes and not to sit on his chair. I changed the chair and did not remove my shoes. After a couple of weeks, again I heard God’s voice that instructed me to change the rug of the office. It was a massive office; the rug was beautiful so why did God want it changed?
I had no access to funds yet, so how was I going to get a new rug. I decided to call a clerk whom I gave instructions to get his team to remove the rug.
To my surprise he told me that some new rugs were kept
