The Blur

Some years ago, I had to travel 
with my former boss to minister 
somewhere 
We went with two other people 
On our way back from the journey, 
one of them told my former boss 
he defied his pastor to travel with us 
Apparently, his pastor had placed 
him under correction for an issue
The "punishment" was for him to 
be in church every Sunday for 
three months until the issues had 
been resolved 
He damned the consequences and 
decided to call the pastor's bluff 
He was an anointed minister of God 
and nobody had the right to place 
him under any form of punishment
My former boss was furious when
he heard 
He claimed the guy's move was 
foolish and all 
I felt my boss was exaggerating 
The ministration we went for was 
a success and the guy ministered 
very well 
Five or six weeks later, a young lady 
came to see my boss at the office 
She was a member of the church 
where we went to minister with that 
guy 
She was in the choir in that church 
She came bearing a grave message 
She was pregnant and the guy we 
went to minister with was responsible 
for the pregnancy 
What? How? When? 
The lady said he collected her phone 
number the very day we went to their 
church to minister and things escalated 
from there 
My boss called the guy's number 
He didn't pick 
My boss called the admin officer of 
the guy's church and got the phone 
number of the guy's senior pastor 
My boss asked the senior pastor 
what crime the guy committed 
before the suspension and punishment 
saga 
The senior pastor said a lady approached 
the church claiming the guy had an affair 
with her and she had gotten pregnant 
for him 
The pastor said they did a thorough 
investigation and found out the lady's 
claim was true 
This was the reason for his suspension 
and punishment 
Wow! 
My former boss asked for the phone 
number of the lady 
He called her 
She said she had gotten rid of the 
pregnancy 
She said a lot 
My boss called the phone number of 
this guy again but he didn't pick, so 
my boss called his wife
(The guy's marriage was less than a 
year old) 
The wife drove down to the office 
She said her husband suddenly 
changed after the first three months 
of marriage and she couldn't explain 
why but she knew it had something 
to do with a lady that he was dating 
before he married her
So where was he? My boss asked 
His wife said he was back with the 
lady in question 
She said he just packed his bag one 
morning and left to be with the woman 
She had no idea that the lady she 
saw at the reception was also 
claiming to have been impregnated 
by her husband 
My boss took some time to think 
about it 
After about 30 minutes, my boss called 
a friend of his who had some connection 
My boss said he wanted the guy 
picked up and brought to his office 
(Not to be roughly handled) 
They brought him in at about 2pm 
He was not told why he was arrested
When he saw the pregnant lady and 
his wife sitting together in the reception 
of our office, he stopped walking! 
His body language confirmed that 
the claims were true 
My boss invited him into a closed-door 
session that lasted for two hours 
At the end of the meeting, my boss 
gave him a letter to his pastor 
He was seriously admonished to 
serve his punishment with the church 
and move back home to his wife 
My boss said "The spirit of error had 
taken him over and he would continue 
to bring injury to those around him if 
he does not return to the source and
mend his ways" 
I never heard of him again until today 
I met him at a market close to my 
community 
He had served his punishment and 
had been fully restored 
The lady that got pregnant for him 
had and kept the child 
His ex-girlfriend left him alone and 
he settled down with his wife
He said "Bro, everything was a blur 
I kept making wrong decisions that 
season I can't even explain why 
I didn't know how i was living my life 
throughout that time but God has 
sorted me out" 
May you not encounter the spirit of 
error or anyone afflicted by the spirit 
of Error!
Like Achan, Absalom, Adonijah and 
Jezebel 
The Spirit of error does not only 
consume its victim 
It makes a victim of those in the victim's 
close proximity and ruins their lives too!
