‘It‘s not fair. He wasn’t supposed to preach today. I’M Pastor’s son so I’m supposed to be first pick.’
These thoughts stopped when you glanced over to Mayowa who had her eyes fixed on him. He stole your slot AND your girl? This deffo couldn’t run....

Service had finished and Youth Sunday had finally come to a close. You were still burning inside. All the scriptures you had prepped and the links you had made. Too sweet. You decide to distract yourself by greeting Mayowa; she always made you smile
You approach her and to you surprise she greets you first. “Hey Kenny!!! The sermon Joshua delivered today was hottt. I could tell God was really ministering through him today because I was touched.”
You feel your eyes begin roll but you compose yourself

“It was a blessing mannn. How are you though? How’s you week been”
You can tell that she’s clocked on to your vibe. You pray she doesn’t bring it up.
“You seem annoyed Kenny. I hope you’re not annoyed at Josh. Your Dad picked him you know so don’t think he did it on purpose”

You freeze then chuckle to hide the awkwardness. “I’m not jealous of him Mayowa. I’m just pressed I didn’t get to share the word I had prepped that’s all.” She touches your arm and gives you reassuring words. “Everything happens for a reason. Ask God why Kenny because He...
has a reason for everything” She’s right. She opens her mouth to continue but then she’s cut off by Joshua who comes running. Mayowa removes her hand from your arm . “Hey Mayo! Hey Kendrick! Is it cool if I borrow her for a sec?”
You really want to say no but it’s not up to you

“Yeah yeah it’s cool bro. Nice sermon today by the way”
You have to play it cool.
“We thank God bro! I was nervous but Pastor reassured me and said that the Youth Leaders thought it was good. I’m just a vessel”
I’m jUst a VesSeL. YES BRO we all are. Nothing new here

As you watch them leave together and you the burning sensation intensifies.
You have a plan to get Joshua off his high horse but it may get a bit sticky. It’s worth the risk anyways. You start clearing up when you hear your Dad call you name.
“Into my office please son”

You hadn’t done anything YET so you start wondering what the conversation was about.
You sit down and look at your shoes. Even though he was your Dad, he was in Pastor mode right now so you were tad bit afraid.
To your surprise he smiles and says

“So how did you find Joshua’s sermon today son? I heard from Auntie Lydia that it was beautifully delivered”
Ella mai o. This was the second time a conversation starter included Joshua’s sermon. Must everything be about him?!!! Your eye begins to twitch.
*must. roll. eyes*

But the Spirit said no and He helps you again regain composure.
Yeah Dad, I thought it was a blessing honestly. He really broke down how Jesus is the full revelation of God and honestly I learnt a lot.
“Don’t you think he’s beginning to sound like a proper preacher?”

“Don’t you think he’s beginning to sound like a proper preacher?”
Your Dad stares at you hard like he’s demanding an answer.
“yes Dad. But I think tha-” He cuts you off
“Great then. I don’t know if he’s told you yet but I’ve made him permanent youth preacher.
Your eyes begin to water. Your heart stops for a second. The world pauses.

You expect the world to explode but that would be TOO dramatic.
“Oh” is all than manages to come out of your mouth before your Dad delivers the finishing blow.
“I know you wanted this role but I felt God telling me to appoint Joshua. In all honesty, I don’t think you’re ready..

Ok. So. What happened to God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called?? Out the bin now that Joshy is here??
You feel hoodwinked and bamboozled.
“It’s alright Dad. Mayowa reminded me today that there’s a reason for everything.”
“That’s it son. Don’t worry”

You begin to stand up. “May I be dismissed please?”
“Of course son, I’ll see you at home.” He still has that wide smile on his face.
You leave the room with one thought in mind. How it was gonna unfold was a complete mystery.

#2 - *Joshua’s perspective*
“Wait??? Pastor, excuse me if this comes across as disrespectful but why me? I was so nervous today I couldn’t possibly preach continuously”
Your heart begins to race.
“Joshua, with all due respect son, it’s not about you.”
“Wait??? Pastor, excuse me if this comes across as disrespectful but why me? I was so nervous today I couldn’t possibly preach continuously”
Your heart begins to race.
“Joshua, with all due respect son, it’s not about you.”
You’ve been given utterance already in Christ. Col 2:10 you’re COMPLETE in Him son! Stop acting like you’re empty when you’re full of the living God!
At that moment it all clicked. It wasn’t Pastor Jacob speaking now. It was God.
“I get it now sir. Thank you so much”

“I get it now sir. Thank you so much”
“May I be excuses now sir?”
“Yes of course!” Pastor replies
You get up and go with one person on your mind - Mayowa
You see her with Kendrick and debate whether to let them finish or to interrupt....
You decide to interupt because the violent shall take it by force!

“Hey Mayo! Hey Kendrick! Is it cool if I borrow her for a sec?” you try to be as polite as possible.
“Yeah yeah it’s cool bro. Nice sermon today by the way” He sounds fake..
You don’t think anything of it. You’re too excited to tell Mayo the good news
