Joseph (The Hand Of God) - Season 1 - Episode 3

“But I told you never to take off that necklace.”
“I-a-m sorry, Daddy,” he stuttered.

“You did?” his mother was surprised. “You promised me you will never do that.”

“It was Paul,” he said, pointing to their neighbour’s compound. “He wanted to see what it was made of.”

Chuks turned to his wife, anger in his eyes. “Do you still allow my son to go to those born again Christian people?”

“But Veronica and her husband, Christopher, have always been good people. Their son, Paul, and our son are playmates.”

“I don’t care!” Chuks raised his voice. “I never want to see those people here and I forbid you from being friends with them. My son must never step a feet to that house again!” He stood up and walked away angrily.

Veronica and her husband, Christopher, understood without being angry when Doris told them about her husband’s decision to keep the two families apart.

Chuks had not always been friendly with the couples next door. He hated that they were christians and supported everything that he was againts.

They sometimes disturbed his sacrifices with their prayers and there was no way he could get rid of them except he had to make them disappear which was very impossible.

And while Christoper and Veronica continued to pray for Doris and Chuks, they hoped that one day the couples would come to know Christ and give up idol worship. They still couldn’t understand how educated people would choose to remain idol worshippers rather than serve the one true God.

So when Chuks finally gave the verdict to keep them at arm’s lenght, they respected his wishes but didn’t stop praying for them.

Six years later, fate would again bring Hassand and Paul together in the classroom of the private secondary school they attended. The two boys became friends without the knowledge of their parents. They had so many things in common.
Hassan loved football, so did Paul, and together, they were on the school team and soon found themselves spending so much time together.
Paul was known to be a good Christian in school.
He was also made the chapel prefect in their final class.

Many times he shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with Hassan who at the initial stage was turned off by Paul’s sermon.

But Paul wouldn’t stop.

He told his best friend that it would be the greatest joy to see him give his to Christ.
