One day Joshua had a dream
A dream of where he was on a mission to save some students from the satanic agents
in his dream, he fought tirelessly with the forces that appeared to carry the students.
a voice sounding so terrible was calling onto Joshua

     "Joshua! Joshua!! Joshua, Arise go and save my children bring them back from the agent for behold the time is near"

Joshua woke up very confused, seriously worried because he couldn't understand the meaning of the dream.

Again Joshua slept and had another dream
in that dream Joshua saw himself in the midst of demons, the demons drew closer to him, Joshua was frighten as a result of the fierceness of the demons, he needed not to be told that they are ready to tear him apart.

  "I think you are the only problem to our kingdom"
 said one of the demons,

 "I don't know what you are talking about please don't harm me" says Joshua

" ha ha ha ha kill him" shouted the queen of coast but before they could raise their sword against him, an angel appeared, the brightness from his garment was beyond description to the demons.

The angel opened his mouth and something like a pillar of fire came out and tormented the demons, the angel raised Joshua up but he was afraid of the glory upon the angel.

Then angel console him,

    "don't be afraid for I bring to you a message from the Lord"

 the angel raised his staff and commanded Joshua to go and save the people from the hands of the wicked

"save them from the agent of darkness for lo and behold the Lord is thy strength"

Joshua bow at the feet of the angel to reverence him but the angel resist him

" I am only steward in the house of the Lord as you are"

Joshua screamed aloud as he work up from the dream breathing and sweating profusely throughout the night he was sleepless reflecting on the interpretation of the dream till morning.

Early in the morning before 7:00am Joshua left the hostel without waiting for the breakfast he was very calm in the school his friend ask him the problem with him but he remained calm some of the teachers where surprise to see Joshua in such a quiet mood because he is always troublesome kind of person but none could approach him as a result of his insultive manners and his friend were amaze.

When the lesson for the day was over he went to scripture union (SU) fellowship for the first time since he came to the school.

After the sermon by Nneka an alter call was made and Joshua gave his life to Christ
the people in the hall prayed to God on his behalf, asking God to assist him remain faithful to his promise, while they were praying the spirit of the Lord came upon James and he gave those words to Joshua

"Arise go and save my people from satanic hands thus said the Lord of Host, Joshua was deeply troubled hearing those prophesy"

While must this words follow me everywhere, Joshua murmured in his heart oh Lord in you I rest my case, after the prayer James ask Joshua if they could be friends he accepted with interest, with James becoming my friend things can get better since it seems James know something about my predicament.

"James who told you those words you were saying when we were praying"
Joshua ask

I wasn't saying any words to you instead it was the Holy Spirit that talks to you.

" Does it mean that you are the Holy Spirit or at times you will turn to the Holy Spirit?" Joshua ask like a confuse man

No my dear, we are just instrument that the Lord uses to achieve his purpose but don't worry with time you will understand.

I have to find the secret and the source of this boy mysterious power Joshua thought within himself.

 "Joshua, see you in school tomorrow."
James said and he departed
