This is how it all began...

Episode one.

It began one Saturday morning in April, 2012.

Many of the prophecies I gave to my colleagues in the office had manifested. I had worked in that hotel for barely three weeks when I began to make an arrangement to join full time ministry. Some colleagues encouraged me to resign having seen the tremendous Prophetic utterances and it's subsequent results. It happened that even those who were not gifted to function as Prophets amongst us desired to see visions.

I was celebrated and held in high esteem. Hotel visitors and some of my friends wondered how and what a Prophet came to look for in a hotel. How could I have gone to look for a Job in a hotel? Were there no other places to go other than a hotel? My conscience pricked me on this for many days. I knew I was at the wrong place but I was there because of the money. I wanted the money. That's all. I had no single passion for my Job as a storekeeper. I knew I could do more. I knew I worth more but here I was hidden away from purpose, in a hotel.

I avoided many of my Preacher friends from knowing I was working in a hotel. They would say a believer isn't supposed to be yoked with unbelievers. What do I care? All I wanted was money. My pay wasn't exciting but it was alright for me. Infact, it was disappointing to have allowed that meager salary. I had in my pride told some newly found friends during the interview at the hotel that I resigned from a Job where they paid me eighty thousand monthly. I thought I was going to be considered for a bigger salary by the company if I had said that, but nothing changed. Instead, I was paid thirty five thousand monthly which was nothing close to the salary I claimed been paid in my former place of work. People wondered how a former Manager from another company and also a Prophet could come to work In a hotel for a peanut. It was all a made-up story to look important.

Many at times, when questioned by the Manager about my reasons for wanting to resign I would tell him I had a call to ministry. As true as it was, it wasn't the only reason.

The Hotel, 'Sobata hotels and suites' was quite large with most of the facilities that qualifies a 5-star hotels, but unfortunately, it didn't get that credit. Many people who were not working there thought the least staff member earns about a hundred thousand but unfortunately, it wasn't better than most of the local hotel businesses around except for the wonderful furnishings.

Many of my colleagues at work had come to believe in me except for a few who thought I had a superior access to information about them gotten probably from social media or from certain people.

In one of the prophecies I told Femi, the guy serving at the bar that he was going to join the management team very soon. He shouted Amen, not because he believed but because he wanted me to feel alright. I saw it on his face. Femi was one who hardly believed in Christianity and spirituality. He told me many times that the things I said happened out of coincidence. So, I needed to prove to him that the supernatural exceeds the natural.

Two weeks down the line, the assistant manager of the hotel, Adamu was caught sleeping with a female colleague in one of the hotel rooms and was sacked immediately. When Mr. Bonzo who was equally functioning at the bar was promoted to replace the position of the assistant manager, many who thought Femi was going to be promoted due to the prophecy lost hope. I walked into the office in the middle of their discussion and told them,

Mr. Bonzo would be sacked soon because he's not the right person to be in that position.

Who will sack him? Amara, the Auditor asked me.

Well, let's watch and see

Abeg, who God don bless e don bless. Leave that thing. Mr. Bonzo has Grace. It was the Grace of God that spoke for him.

I don't like too many argument. In a very short time, that guy would be fired because I believe he's not the person God wants for that position

Are you now going to ask God to remove him? What's the problem? She sounded like it was supposed to be a joke. But she meant every word.

I'm just saying we should watch and see. I left her office.

It wasn't upto two weeks and it happened.

A night before that day I went up into one of the hotel rooms looking for Mr Bonzo to give me keys to our department. I didn't knock before entering because I believed he was there alone. He never told me he was going in with any visitor. Unfortunately, I saw him with a lady; the daughter of the Cashier. I saw shock written all over his face. I had no idea what to make out of it. He was a Christian and so I trusted him.

The next morning, I was summoned by the Managing Director of the hotel Mr. Bagu, a tall, black complexioned huge young man at his middle forties. He told no one his age anyway but his elder sister's 51st birthday gave everyone a glue of Mr Bagus. I hurried out of my bed and dragged my trousers on without bathing. Lateness might be dangerous. I had thought.

"This boy said you saw him with this girl in the hotel room
