I shouldn't do what I plan on doing but I shall do it anyway. I am an adult and at some point, mum and dad will have to let me grow. I comfort myself with these words the following Saturday as I prepare to head to the Youth fellowship at Tandeo's church.
I wear one of my favourite, below the knees floral, chiffon dress with a cute design paired with blue canvas pumps. I walk to the church with Tandeo, they go to Bread of Life Zambia, church. Apparently we arrive there a little late and have a few people's eyes on us but then we are just about 5 minutes late, I'm sure that more will arrive later because...yeah, Zambian time. We arrive in one of the small open huts and settle in the biggest one where the youth fellowship is being organized.
The fellowship begins with a prayer from Michael as the Youth Convenor and apparently Zuba is the deputy youth Convenor, it's like Destiny is playing tricks on those two, they cannot stand each other...well Zuba can not stand Michael or so she appears to be, I wonder what had really happened between them, I'm curious... what could have been so bad that she cannot forgive him. I wonder if I should do some prying??? But then no... that would be wrong and these are my friends and besides that I still have not forgiven myself for what I did to Luwi, it looks like my abilities are stronger than I thought.
"Hello Laika?" I'm interrupted from my thoughts by Rafa who shows up with Gabe, he immediately sits next to me on one of the pillars set up for sitting on, and it looks like those two really get along I meet them together often, but then Gabe gets along with Michael too, well and Tandeo and everyone else so he is that type of guy.
"Hi" I whisper back about to make some more conversation but Michael clears his throat to calm the whispering down after the prayer.
Soon after he begins to preach...he is talking about Angels and Demons today, the arch angels and the like, he even gives us some scriptures to refer to...
"There are 7 arch angels in existence, well the ones recorded in the bible anyway and these are Rafael, Michael, Aneal, Lucifer and Sameal, the Fallen Angels," he says referring to the last two angels. Where did I hear that? I remember it from somewhere but I do not know where.
"Of course there are several other angels mentioned in the bible like Gabriel, the Angel of death, angel of famine, disease etc and still several others of which all had an important task to play" Michael explains. At this point everyone is hooked on what Michael is saying and attentive. These names ring a bell but I do not remember how or where I heard them before, quite alright I read Bible Stories' as a hobby but I feel like there is more.
"Contrary to human belief, the angel of death is not a demon, death is also not as bad as people make it seem, that angel is tasked with taking souls, which is his main purpose on this earth so yes, Death is an angel and not a demon as opposed to his portrayal in movies" this makes all of us gasp in shock. Who knew that something that causes so much pain among humans can actually be a good thing?
"Furthermore, the story of Sameal and Lucifer is quite similar, including the story of Lillith, all the two were arch angels gone bad. The fallen angels... that rebelled against God and brought about all the evil that is around today. Anyways we will focus more on the good angels, Angel Gabriel is a messenger, speaks and understands all languages, be it ancient, extinct or palm readings etc, this angel is also very calm with a calming presence, he often communicates to us humans when God wants to tell us something, you would know this as a soothing voice that you get sometimes, pay attention to that voice." Michael says looking at all of us. He really teaches with authority and it is very easy to understand him
"Gabriel had been the one that appeared to Mary and told her that she was going to have a child and she had Jesus" he goes a little bit more into detail about the birth of Jesus and the many Angels that were present there, I am familiar with this story from my childhood but I have never really heard the full story and hearing it makes me both excited and anxious at the same time. All these things that be is saying seem familiar but I cannot exactly pin point where I heard them from, maybe a dream...?
