MY MEETING WITH THE DEVIL

Growing up as a child, my Parents, Pastors, and Sunday School teachers had presented the picture of the devil to me as an ugly creature which may sometimes appear with horns.  In the early years of my life, I had wanted to meet with this devil who is so ugly, so I could exercise the authority I have in Jesus Christ on him. I invited the devil to visit me and he promised to come. I could remember how I had prayed, fasted all through the night in preparation for this ugly creature whom I am ready to destroy. Coincidentally, my parent had traveled that faithful day the devil was to show up. I see it as an opportunity for me to crush him with no mercy. I waited from morning to evening and I saw no sign of him.  At about 7.p.m in the evening, I heard a knock on my door. It was Debby, our next door neighbour's daughter. Hello Jude, she had greeted,  Hello Debby, I replied.  I am aware your parents traveled and wouldn't be returning today, so my parents had advised that I c...
