ACT ONE, SCENE ONE
Benjamin
went to buy groundnuts and garri to drink and on his return to his hostel, he begins
to hear screams and decides to find out the source of the screams. In the town where
he schools, he realised that a young boy has just died.
Mrs. Adeduro: Ah...Mogbe o. They have killed
my only child.. Who did I offend? Ta ni o le fi Ina omo Jo mi bi e le.
Mr. Adeduro: Iya Tolu... A ma gba fun o olorun
ni.
Mrs. Adeduro: What did I just hear? I will not
accept this.
Benjamin: What is going on here? What happened?
Is everything all right?
Mr. Adeduro: Young man, don't worry. There is
nothing you can do to help us.
Benjamin: You are right sir. There is nothing
I can do but I know someone who can help you with your situation.
Mrs. Adeduro: Who is that person?
Benjamin: His name is Emmanuel.
Mr. Adeduro: where is he now?
Benjamin: He is right here in our midst.
Mr. Adeduro: Don't drive me crazy... There are
just three of us here.
Benjamin: (smiles) No sir... He is the fourth
man standing in the fire. When we call on him in times of trouble, he will answer
us. He is the mighty man in battle, the great deliverer and he is the great healer.
Mrs. Adeduro: I don't understand all this you
are saying but...
Mr Adeduro: But what? According to our traditions,
he must be buried tonight or else...
Mrs. Adeduro: Let's give him a chance.... Baba
Tope... This is our only child we are talking about here.
Mr. Adeduro: Young man I'll allow you but if
this is false hope, I promise to cut off your head
Benjamin: (smiles) no need for that... I serve
the Almighty God, the Mighty Man in Battle who knows the end from the beginning...
He is the way, the truth and the life...he has no beginning, he has no end, he is
the un-created creator.... The breath of life... Let me have the young boy.
( The mother hands her son over to him)
Lord Jesus, I lift this son up to you. I know
you created him to fulfill a great purpose. It is written in your word "At
the mention of the Name of Jesus, every knee must bow..." You death, I command
you to lose your hold over this child right now in the Name of Jesus.
(The child
suddenly opens his eyes and the news filter across the town. People started coming
to visit him and he begins to pray with them... Dagunro extremely got angry by this
development and decides to do something about it...)
ACT ONE, SCENE TWO
Benjamin
is in the hostel with his three friends holding a Bible study and Dagunro angrily
walks in as a result of the events going on in the town...
Benjamin: Remember the Bible says in Psalm 91:11
that thy word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against God...It means
if we don't hide His word in our heart, we will not live a victorious Christian
life.
Tunde: That's right... The source of true power
is The HolySpirit which resides in our life and that is why the Bible says in Acts
1:8 " But ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you;and
ye shall be witnessed unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Titi: Through the HolySpirit we have been emboldened
and strengthened to do the will of our heavenly father because without the HolySpirit
we cannot do greater works.
Benjamin: It is important as well for us all
not to have a polluted prayer altar cause according to James 5:16, The effectual
fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much...
Tunde: It's very much true. We need to continually
present our bodies as a living sacrifice Holy and acceptable to God without which
we will have a contaminated prayer altar.
Benjamin: Let us pray that God will help us
to yield our lives continually in obedience to Christ...
(They begin
to pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to be renewed upon them and for evil altars
to be destroyed)
ACT ONE, SCENE THREE
Segun
and Femi were on their way to the farm and they begun to dialogue about the great
things happening in the town... Children coming back to life, mysterious sicknesses
being healed and evil altars erupting Into flames in the middle of the night.
Segun: Femi.... It has happened again o
Femi: What happened this time?
Segun: Do you remember Tutu...
Femi: Tutu...Omo Iya Eleko
Segun: Yes... Do you know that she is no more
blind
Femi: I don't know o... All these things happening
in this land I can't explain it o.
( Dagunro
walks past and Femi and Segun fled separately)
ACT TWO, SCENE ONE
Dagunro: Eyin e bora ti o n'gbe ninu Igbo, Eyin
Ikamudu ti'n be ninu Ile... Asiwere lo'n fina sabe orule sun.... Eyin alale Ile....
E ko doju Timi ri... I call on you to defend
me... I must not be put to shame.... A strange altar has entered this land and is
threatening the peace of this land... E ro mi lagbara... The powers in the mountains...
The power in the seas... The power on land... Overwhelm me and disgrace every enemy
of this land... Let pregnant mothers begin to lose their womb, let the sick start
to die mysteriously, Let the youths remain jobless and the poor become poorer, let
those who want husband's and wife never see anyone to marry them... As long as I
live, let this land fail to prosper... E Seun... Mo mo pe e ko ni doju Timi.
Omoge inu igi o, omoge inu igi o, omoge inu
igi... Mo Fe ran e nise... I want you to go to the campus, churches and seduce students,
lecturers, and Pastors, church leaders and members until they backslide and get
caught by our trap, then we will strike them after they wax cold spiritually and
become too weak to pray and study the word of God... Make them mindful of carnal
things so that they will become easy prey to kill.
ACT TWO, SCENE TWO
Omoge
inu igi rushes to the campus Lodge under the pretext that she wants to be prayed
for... Tunde carelessly let's her in and she seduces him and they engaged in secret
sin.
Omoge inu igi: ( Rushes in panting) Please help me... Please I need your help. You
are the only one that can help me.
Tunde: What is it exactly?
Omoge inu igi: Let me come in and explain...
Please, please...
Tunde: No.... I can't let you come in... I'm
the only one around
Omoge inu igi: A se e tie le... Are you not
a servant of God?
Tunde: look here.... Say what you want to say.
Omoge inu igi: just let me come in... Am I not
beautiful enough?
Tunde: This has nothing to do with beauty...
Actually you are beautiful but what do you want?
Omoge inu igi: I want you.
Tunde: Me? God forbid...( behind the curtains)
Stop undressing your clothes... I have to guard my eyes with all diligence
Omoge inu igi: Then stop looking at me...
Tunde: I'm trying but I can't help myself...
Omoge inu igi: Let's just do this... Thank God
no one else in around.
Tunde: The more I look at you I am just getting
weak...
ACT TWO, SCENE THREE
The scene
opens with Benjamin awoken by a terrible dream where he sees one of his friends
break their consecration as well as contaminating their Powerline like Ananias and
Sapphira... He warns his friend of the dangers of strange fire....
Benjamin: I had a terrible dream Tunde...
Tunde: Can't it wait till morning.
Benjamin: Not at all... This dream is extremely
scary.
Tunde: OK... What happened?
Benjamin: I saw you...
Tunde: Me? What happened.
Benjamin: You and some people were caught and
trapped in a net...
Tunde: Really? Why? How?
Benjamin: The person who caught you was standing
over you and laughing as you people begun to cry
Tunde: What? It's not possible...
Benjamin: Please listen... The Holy Spirit revealed
to me that you are living a double life in his presence and you have to make your
ways right before him.
Tunde: How? Don't you see how God move mightily
through me and uses me?
Benjamin: Tunde, the gift of God is without
repentance and as a child of God, little foxes can destroy the vine... Ananias and
Sapphira was a Powerline carrying the power station of the Holy Spirit and they
became careless when they allowed lies to creep in... So also was Samson; when he
was supposed to run from sexual sin just like Joseph who fled because he didn't
want to break his consecration, Samson decided to indulge his flesh and his Powerline
became polluted and his purpose died untimely... A life without consecration contaminates
your Powerline...
Tunde: You are right my friend...
Benjamin: remember he who dwells in the secret
place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty which means
whoever strays from the secret place of the most high shall be kept in the shackles
and chains of the devil... Nadab and Abihu offered strange fire before the Lord
by indulging in the act of disobedience and they brought the wrath and judgment
of God upon their lives...
Tunde: (
He begins to cry in genuine repentance) I have been engaging in secret sins
for three months now... This lady came into the hostel, I thought she wanted prayers
and I got carried away and we have both being engaging in sexual sin and ever since
the first time this happened, I have been lying freely as well as engaging in one
immoral act or another... Be it Malpractice... You name it.
(He rededicates
his life to Christ by asking for God's mercies and restoration as well as the grace
to live a righteous and Holy life)
ACT THREE, SCENE ONE
The scene
opens with Mr. Benjamin studying the word of God and after a short while, he begins
to worship God. As Benjamin prays, the shrine of the most powerful man in the land;
Dagunro begun to shake and he started feeling uncomfortable and with rage, he walks
down to their house.
Dagunro: Are you the only one in this neighborhood?
Every time you disturb the whole area with your incantations...
Benjamin: (Smiles) I was just talking to my father.
Dagunro: What kind of father do you have to
scream that much to before he hears you.
Benjamin: Our heavenly father sir... He is the
king of kings, the Lord of lords, immortal invisible, the only wise God, the rock
of ages...
Dagunro: will you shut up? You must be really
drunk... You have drawn the battle line between us and there can only be one winner.
Benjamin: (To himself: What have I done?) I'm
sorry baba... ( You will be)
( Dagunro
walks out angrily)
Scene
break:
Omoge
inu igi meets Tunde on the road so close to his house and tries to talk him into
meeting up at their usual spot
Tunde: You... What do you want again?
Omo inu igi: What foolish question is that?
I want you of course.
Tunde: You must be joking... The Tunde you know
is dead... I am no longer alive, I am dead to sin now because greater is he that
is in me than he that is in the world.
Omoge inu igi: You must be joking... You cannot
escape anywhere. Our blood has been mixed and we are bound forever.
Tunde: You lie... There is a more powerful blood
which has broken whatever covenant we had which is the blood of Jesus. Have you forgotten? In Colossians 2:14-15
"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was
contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;And having spoiled
principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in
it."
Omoge inu Igbo: We shall see...
Tunde: You sure will... I rebuke you in the
Name of Jesus.
ACT THREE, SCENE TWO
Omoge inu igi: Baba o... Ina n Jo lowo lowo
Bai... A gbodo maa woran titi ti isakole ilu hi maa Bo o
Dagunro: E wo... A I gbodo... Everyone that
steps on the tail of the snake must be ready for a sting... Only a foolish rat will
want to run a marathon race with a tiger... The battle has started.
Scene
break:
Benjamin: The Bible says in Isaiah 49:24-26
"Shall the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the lawful captive delivered? [25] But thus saith the Lord , Even the captives
of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered:
for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
[26] And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall
be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that
I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
We will tell God that power of darkness paying
siege over this land be destroyed in the Name of Jesus... Let's begin to pray...
Tunde:
In Jesus Name we have prayed.... ( Amen) The Bible says in Phil 2:9-11
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted
him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the
earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory
of God the Father."
We will tell God that every evil altar that
is standing against the promises of God over this land should catch fire In the
Name of Jesus and in anyway that the enemies are rising like a flood that the spirit
of the living God will raise a standard against him ( Isa.59:19)

I want you to send leprosy and blindness to
the house of those fools who had the effrontery to unlock those we have chained,
open the eyes of those we have blinded and the wombs of those we have locked....

ACT THREE, SCENE THREE
Femi goes
to visit Segun very early the next morning to break the news of what happened last
night...
Femi: Ko ko ko....Segun, Segun, Segun... Open
this door.
Segun: Talo Fe ja lekun mi?... Who wants to
break my door?
Femi: It's me Segun... It has happened o...
Segun: What... Tell me?
Femi: You are here sleeping like Jonah... Igboro
ti scatter...
Segun: What happened now? If you don't want
to say keep quiet...
Femi: Oya let me tell you.... All the ancestral
altars of this land mysteriously caught fire last night.
Segun: really? How did it happen? Dagunro must
be angry and mad about it.
Femi: which Dagunro... It doesn't end there
o?
Segun: what again?
Femi: Dagunro is blind and paralysed in a mysterious
circumstance...
Segun: What? What are we waiting for let us
go...
(As they
stepped out they saw some people carrying Dagunro and they decided to follow them)
Epilogue:
Dagunro: E jooo... E dariji mi.
Benjamin: Baba E se wa...
Dagunro: Mo se yin...
Tunde: Baba... Omo la je siyin... If you even
offended us Baba, we forgive you.
Dagunro: You can't understand... I tried to
kill you last night.
Benjamin: What????
Dagunro: Look at me, this is the result of what
I wanted to happen to you.
Titi: The Blood of Jesus...
Dagunro: Please help me... I must not die like
this...
Tunde: Baba, sorry we don't have the power to
help you.
Dagunro: There must be someone who can help
me... The person that didn't allow harm to come near you.
Titi: That person is Jesus... Once you confess
him into your life, and you accept him as Lord and Savior, the word of God says
he is faithful and just to forgive our iniquities.
Dagunro: Are you sure he will accept me with
all the atrocities I have committed? All
the people I have killed, all the destinies I have tarnished.
Benjamin: He is a merciful God... He says he
will in no wise cast out anyone that comes to him and there is no magnitude of sin
he cannot forgive and that is why the Bible says while we were yet sinners, Christ
died for us. His blood has every power to cleanse and make us whole.
Dagunro: I am ready to surrender my Life to
that Jesus... I want him to turn my life around, I want to accept him and become
his child...
Tunde: Thank you Jesus ( Benjamin cuts in) please repeat after us Baba... (They All joined hands and prayed for Baba, He
accepts Christ and receives his healing)
(Aside) The ultimate source of Power comes from
Jesus Christ... It is important to always stay connected to the source through consistent
and constant intimacy because not until you study the word of God, pray and preach
the gospel that there will be a revival and then we can do greater works... Just
like you cannot enjoy earthly electricity without a power source so also you cannot
enjoy divine cover and protection as well the privileges of the fire of the HolySpirit
in you; which is the ultimate powerline if you are not connected to the right source
of Power.( Matthew 5:16, John 1:5, Isa: 61:1-,
Heb 2:4, John 14:20-21, Rom 8:19)
