THE FARMER 3

Chidera had visited Vincent after one year. He was all so grown that you could barely reconcile the Chidera of 3yrs ago to the one you're beholding now. Anyway, Vincent wasn't surprised. He had been seeing his picture on many posters around town Vincent: My guy! It's been a donkey years since we saw last. Ministry don snatch my brother from me. But then, I'm happy you're doing so well Dera: We bless God bro. I'm sorry I've not been able to visit this past year. The thing is, even when I'm not so engaged with ministrations I'm needed in church for setting up one or two things with the teenagers department... Vincent: Wait o!

He was determined to hear what God had to say. What God had to say about why he was just running in circles. His frustration was fueled by the fact that Dera, his bosom friend who he watched take baby steps in Christianity, was now doing great things for God, yet he couldn't find his feet. _______________________________________________ Vincent: [Talking with his friend Chidera in a room]  Dee, I've been wondering what I did to deserve this magnanimous benevolence from God.
