THE PATH

The path to success is to take massive, determined action - Tony Robbins.

Phillip had a very stressful day as he was on the internet all day. During his research on the people on the path of his vision, he saw a page which was majorly for teenagers. To satisfy his curiosity, he checked the activities on the page. He discovered that the page was created to enlighten teenagers on the need for sexual purity and to curb the practices of pornography and masturbation.

Phillip saw the page as a good place to learn and ask questions. He also saw it as an opportunity to post write-ups which warn against pornography. He thought of a story he could put up on the page that could be of help to teenagers who were still trapped in the web of pornography. He thought of writing a chronicle of his experiences when he too was involved in pornography. “That’s a good idea,” he thought as he took out his jotter and began to write.

Phillip wrote a story titled, ‘The Slave Master'. He got the title from the Biblical story of the Israelites as slaves in Egypt before God’s intervention. He decided to post the story in daily episodes till he got to the end. After writing, he prayed that the story will minister grace to the readers.

After the two weeks break, the Centre resumed for the second contact. Everyone was happy to see their friends and lecturers. The second contact seemed too short. In no time at all, they were done with their examinations and it was time to return home. The students hugged their friends and promised to see each other again when they were admitted.

Jessica, Kate and Phillip went to see Dr. Shiwa before they left. They met him studying, as usual, but something looked amiss. The office was almost empty and it seemed the occupant was moving out.
“What’s going on here, Sir?’ Phillip asked after they had exchanged pleasantries. “Well…,” Dr. Shiwa began. ‘I knew you guys would come. That was why I kept the surprise till today.”
“Wh…..., what surprise sir?" Kate asked, almost in a whisper.
“Guys, I’m leaving the centre! I was summoned yesterday by the Administrative officer at Yale University where I came from. God had told me my days at the centre was almost over. I didn’t realise it would be so soon”, Dr. Shiwa said.

“My flight has been booked. I will be leaving next week. I’ve tendered my resignation letter already. I’m happy I met you guys. I am thankful to God for making me witness what he has started with you three. I pray that He will keep you blameless and spotless till he comes.“ Dr. Shiwa concluded, almost in tears. The girls into tears while Phillip held himself back from crying.

“We will definitely keep in touch sir.” Phillip said. “Who knows? We might visit you in the States one day.” He added as he dabbed his eyes with a handkerchief.
Dr. Shiwa offered them snacks and they all ate and discussed about different issues till it was time to part.
