One week and three days later while Elijah was working he thought to himself, " hmmm i haven't really been tempted alot of recent , is it that God has finally decided to give him a break with the temptations ". Just while he was thinking he got a call from the board that he was needed immediately . Then he rushed off to go to the board leaving his colleague in charge at the office .
When he got to the board , the board of directors told him that they wanted to promote him to the position of a director in one of the new company branch that was built but that he had to renounce his God , but whereby he refused he would be sacked from his current position out of the company . They told him that he had three days off to think through about the offer , and then he left the meeting and went home .
When he got home that night he prayed to God and asked the lord why he had to face such kind of tempatation to lay his job as sacrifice . then the lord said to him " There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (1Cor.10.13) ". Immediately Elijah thanked God and yielded to his will .
Three days later he went back to his workplace and met his director and told him that he just came to drop his resignation letter , and then a demon took control of the director and he shouted at him so much and asked him how he could reject such an offer then Elijah said he was sorry and left .
When Elijah got home , he listened to a tape he came across on the internet from a pastor named Chris oyachilome and got so much inspired . While he was meditating on what he had heard , the caretaker of his house came around and told him that his rent was dew in a week time and he had an extra week to park out or renew his rent . Elijah then cried and prayed to the lord , then the lord said to him again " go to the church at that midway and ask for the number one book by their pastor , it will guide you on what to till i come again " . And then the next day he dressed up and went to the church and asked of the book and then they gave him a book named Rhapsody of realities in his language , it was the first time he was seeing a book in his language , and it happened to be a daily devotional . So he went home and started reading the book from the back page and then went to the current date which was the 27th of November 2029 and he read and was inspired by the book and he knew what to do that day because in that book was instructions on how to live a successful Christian life in preparation of living in eternity . When his room mate got home that day back from work he tried to talk to his room mate bout he rent issue but his friend told him that he wouldn't join him to renew his rent that he was going to be relocating to stay with his fiance to prepare for their marriage . At that point Elijah knew that every hope for him to stand without God was not going to work and then he said to himself that he has nothing without God , and then he went to bed .
The next day he woke up and prayed and then read the Rhapsody he had received an then had a picture of what his days was going to look like if he followed the leadings of the book and so he studied more to see what God wanted him to do , He obviously thought that the book would tell him what to do for that day but rather the book seemed to be teaching him other things about God and how He gave us ( christians ) the power to control and have the things that we want by speaking them into being . And then Elijah started practicing what he had just learnt in the book
