Bro. Tijani is a firery brother who loves God with all his passion and life. He was in almost every department in church; prayer band, he was there, Choir, oh! he had a wonderful voice, Drama, he was there, youth fellowship, he was their prayer co-ordinator, Evangelism, he was there also, AH! sunday school, he was there even was a teacher. But something happened.
Our almighty bro. tijani started becoming weak and slowly started to loose passion for the things of God and will always give excuses like i am tired, i had a vigil, i was working e.t.c.
Gradually Bro.T.J was no longer in the prayer band, he would go late for sunday school preparation or he would not even go at all, he will go late for choir practice and to crown it all up, he started coming late for church!
Then one day, he and his friend(Bro. Zukari) went out for a program at ogun state and while on the way, their bus had a fatal accident and no body in the bus survived.
The next second, they appeared before the LORD almighty and Bro. Zukari and Bro. Tijani were on the same straight line with Bro. Zukari in front and Bro. t.j Behind, and while on the line, Bro t.j said to himself:
"kai, i can imagine the kind of crown waiting for me "
then it got to the turn of zukari and there was a very fine bright crown made of diamond that was given to him
then t.j said again:
" o boy! see this guy we no even do anything reach me self, kai see hin crown, Bobo, my crown go carry diamond and frankincense "
To our greatest surprise, the angel said unto t.j
" am sorry sir, there is no crown for you here"
(conversation starts)
bro t.j :(with a frown on his face) angeli ma ba mi se re ke re oh!, where is my crown ?!
angel: sorry t.j, your crown has been given to another person and his name is zukari.
bro t.j :Zukari?! Zukari?!! Ah the Zukari i know or which one ?
angel: yes the Zukari you know who was just a sweeper.
bro t.j: Ah! angel, when did they start ojoro here in heaven?, I thought nobody pays bribe here nah?!, so because Zukari is richer than me, you gave him my crown abi, Angel, God will judge you oh! (crying bitterly with groaning) Ah! angel, God will judge you
Did you not see all the mighty things i did for this kingdom?, did you not see how many sick people i healed?, (still weeping), 馃槴馃槴馃槴馃槳馃槴, angel, did you not see how people called me names , did you not see how i was teaching?
where were you when i fasted prayed for a year,
where were you when i gave everything i had to my pastor in obedience to God?
where were you when i went in the rain for ministration?,
do you know how many people got saved when i was teaching sunday school ?,
did you not see how people will be falling under the anointing when i sing?
did you.........
(he was about to mention another one when the angel stopped him with a loud voice)
angel: will you just keep quit and let heaven rest?
where were you last two weeks when it was time for sunday school rehearsal? please answer me !
bro. t.j : (stammering) a,an,ang, angel i was sleeping because i was tired
angel: when it was time to evangelize last week where were you?
(bro t.j became silent)
(angel continues)
angel: you started coming late to church, a lot of people looked up tp you but you disappointed them.
when it was time to pray, you were no where to be found.
we waited for you in the secret place but you never came around
you disappointed your drama crew because you were busy, if that drama was held, you see that woman in hell?, she would not have died in the first place, so her blood is on your head.
The kingdom was not ready to risk anything because of your pride and arrogance so we stripped you of the anointing and gave it to bro. Zukari who was ready and usable by God.
it was just unfortunate that you did not know your time was almost up and all you had to do was to persevere to the end
It is he that endures to the end that gets the crown not he that endures for 100 years and stops 2 years to the end but he that endures to the end.
(bro t.j still weeping )
angel: so bro t.j which of these do you want, a crown you are not worthy of or a second chance to get a crown you are worthy of?
bro t.j : Please sir, don't give me anything else, don't even give me the anointing, just give me grace to go back and look for others like me and encourage them to stay till the end sir. please
let me prove myself worthy of this crown
angel: as your heart desires so it is done for you ..
(bro t.j wakes up in the hospital
