Astrology,No

"Thank you" I collected the small paper and received my change, turning I walked in the opposite direction taking a path my house

I sighted my classmate and waved at him

I do owe him for yesterday, he really helped me to understand that Maths classwork
Which by the way was sheer torture

I reached my house and unlocked the front door and spotted my little sister watching TV

Even though it's a Saturday, my Dad's still at work

I went to my room and picked my phone from the reading table unlocking it and clicking on the dialer app, careful copying the code that is on the small paper

After recharging my phone, I turned on mobile data and immediately received lots of notifications from different apps

Sitting on my bed, I clicked on a certain orange apps and looked at the notifications
I have five followers on Wattpad
I smiled as I clicked on the profile of my newest follower

Ugh not again... This is so ridiculous

I scrolled through the profile, my face morphing into a frown. The door to my room opened, looking up I saw my best friend Eniola casually walking in as if its her house.
"Ah Ah Amaka why are frowning" Eniola asked concern etched over her face

"Don't worry its just Wattpad" I answered with a dismissing sigh
She had a look urging me to go on
"So I have a new follower and was just checking the persons profile, on her bio she included her astrological sign"

"And so what's annoying you" Eniola sat on my bed
"The fact that she mentioned that she's a Christian and still believe in Zodiac signs"
"Amaka I don't understand, about a year ago you were so excited about all these constellation blabbing to me about it" Eniola said in a confused state

"Yes I did that but that was when I wasn't a genuine Christian but now that I am I have to give up all those things. Meaning that it is against the commandments of God to believe in Zodiac" I explained
"So where exactly is it in the bible I don't think I've ever read it"

"Olodo like you read your bible at all" I feigned annoyance eying her

"Deuteronomy 4 verse 15 to 16 and... wait I've forgotten the rest. Lemme get the book I wrote it on" Eniola nodded then I went to my reading table retrieving the book then plopping down on my bed beside her
"Deuteronomy 18 verse 9 to 13, Deuteronomy 5 verse 8"I read it out loud then I got my worn out RSV bible and gave to her to read for herself

"Amaka, this is the old testament and we are in the new testament now so I think all this are irrelevant" Eniola announced after reading it

"That may be true" I started "but I thought about it too and come up with this questions : Would God like it if we consult his creation; the stars and moon in order to find out who we are instead of looking to His word to find out who we are in Him?, Would God like it if we consult mediums for future events when we can just ask him and if he doesn't tell us we just have to trust him with our lives and future" I finally completed with a serious look.

Wow I didn't know that'll come out right Thank You Jesus

"I didn't think of it that way, it actually make sense sha" Eniola replied after a brief silence

"But eh you suppose to tell them, I mean you can write an informatory book on this topic so that everyone will know" Eniola said now convinced

"That's true I should do that" I'll think about it later
"Anyway sha guess who's birthday is tomorrow " Eniola wiggled her eyebrows now excited

"Your mum? "I guessed
"No, its mine" She said a little louder obviously irritated that I forgot her birthday

"Eh I'll baff you water na" I replied with a smirk. he he am evil I know
