REVELATION CONCERNING GATE OF CROSSOVER
a. This evening the church was filled to capacity
The praise and worship session was taking place
And the pastor was in his office communing with Deity
He was in spirit, preparing the sermon for the service.
b. The soft copy was being edited in palmtop, small computer
And the title of the sermon was, ‘The Gate of Crossover’,
It implied that the message would be in form of teaching
The pastor was in solemn mood, deeply meditating
He fell suddenly into a trance and saw revelation
It was about youths who seemed to wallow in delusion.
c. It was in daytime and Amasage was among the youths
All of them were in quest of water in the wilderness
And angels were attending to their yearning for blissful wealth
Each person was given a container bearing the tag, ‘Success’.
d. The containers were of various sizes
Some were small while some were big
The small ones were mugs and glasses
While the big ones were crocks and jug.
e. Taps were lined up at different corners
And Gate of Crossover was uphill
Each person was expected to fill his container
So as to be allowed to ascend the next level.
f. A greater number of the taps were dripping
The rate of the drops were very slow
And being desperate in their yearning,
They tried hard to make the taps flow.
g. Amasage was among those with big containers
He became more desperate and ran out of patience
When he saw those with cups crossing over
He turned the tap off and left in annoyance.
h. On getting to the Gate of Crossover,
He saw the angel on guard looking furious,
Asking him to go and fill up his container
He felt dizzy, seeing that the angel was officious.
i. When he later returned to the fountain
A different set of youths were there already
And like before, Amasage became desperate again,
As if the situation was making him to feel moody.
j. His own container was a very big jug
Such that can contain many cups of water
He wondered why he was not given a mug
And at a point, decided to make a detour.
k. He saw himself taking the broad way to the top,
Skulking with the corrupt line-up of malefactors
He had gone far and was almost at the hilltop
When the angel appeared and prevented his crossover.
