Nothing Good To Offer
Nothing Good To Offer
Malcolm’s POV…
Tuesday! Most people believe it is the luckiest day of the week. Sunday is blessed by God, ushering many into the new week. Monday gives you a peek into the window of the potential week, and then on Tuesday you get your first assignment… and if you get most of the answers right, Wednesday becomes a cheat day, Thursday is settled, and on Friday evening, you can lock in and party right through the weekend: A blessed week and seven days of eternal perfection.
Getting most of the answers right on your assignment is highly likely, because it’s a home work… You can take it home overnight, and get the answers with whatever means you desire. You have to pass. The only way you can fail is if you didn’t take out the time to try to do the assignment; if you were lazy or apathetic to the truths of your life.
So, yesterday I got a peak, and today I get my first assignment. I can already guess what it’ll be and if I told you now, dear reader, you probably wouldn’t even believe me. But you’ll find out as long as you keep reading. Seeing is believing, right? Well, you’re about to see for yourself!
I was at work early today. I wanted to be there to address the reporters immediately they arrived. Today’s tour was going to be a little more rigorous for them. They want the inside scoop, don’t they? Well, today I’ll give it all to them…and it will be messy. Many shiny garments will get stained.
“Um, Malcolm! How come you asked the reporters to wear white for today, and yet you’ve scheduled a tour to the Mudhouse?”
Jack asked me that while we stood by the door, waiting for the fish. We were scheduled to begin at ten, and they were all surely going to arrive right on time.
“Just watch and see, Jack. I wouldn’t want to spoil the fun. We may have agreed to feed into the media’s hands, but nobody ever said we had to make it easy for them.”
He shook his head at me and chuckled. “You want to get them dirty?”
“Not dirty! But I certainly do want them on the ground. Getting dirty is just a part of the process, I guess.”
He laughed some more. “This is exactly the kind of stunts your dad would have pulled if he were still here, running things.”
I smiled at his words. But it wasn’t time to be sentimental. They were all here, brought in different company cars that had been sent directly to their homes to pick them up. I was about to show them, or should I say SHOW HER that she was in my house, and in my house, I make the rules.
They walked in, all looking regal and clean. Expensive white blazers were worn like sashes. I looked at Inside Edition, I looked at Fox, and then I looked at NTA. And you guessed it! NTA had all her cameras on me. Every single lens.

Cherilyn’s POV…
It’s just us girls getting ready to go spend some time with God in a setting quite new to us, at least it was to me. We’re getting dressed and made-up right now, so let me just reiterate something to you, dear reader, while you wait for us to be ready to head to the conference.
I’ve been learning a lot since I started studying my Bible ever since I surrendered everything to the Lord. Part of my study has caused me to learn specifically about the greatest threat to achieving a positive outcome of man’s search for the glory of God. I’m talking about the prince of lies himself; Lucifer.
The devil likes to hold people captive. He usually has two types of captives though: the willing captives and the unwilling captives. An unwilling captive is someone who has entered either willingly or unwillingly into the trap of the devil but now wants to be delivered. Such a person can be set free from the devil’s hold in many ways, but one of the best ways is when an anointed child of God prays for him or her.
Now! The willing captive. This is someone who also gets into the devil’s trap, whether they knew it or not. However, the difference is that they don’t want to repent or be delivered because of the perceived benefits he or she is getting by serving evil. Even if such a person is delivered by force, that person will eventually return to the devil’s camp, and this time around, the bondage will be much worse because the demon(s) that were previously cast out will be multiplied sevenfold. You can find the written account of the Lord’s take on this in Matthew’s gospel… and in Luke’s.
Why am I saying all this at this time? What am I really trying to pass across? It’s simply this: the devil offers nothing good or lasting. For everything he gives, he takes a thousandfold in return. I pray that God grants you the grace to avoid his traps, and if he currently has any hold over you and you’re willing to be set free, I decree your liberty now, in Jesus’ name.
Nobody willingly runs to God without needing him to bring them further into the Light. Kendra is doing it. So am I. And now, so too is Michaela. While the devil offers nothing good, the Lord offers only good things. This conference surely will offer the best things, and I have a feeling it’ll be exactly what I need to aid me when I deal aggressively with the devil’s latest scheme; Zara Kingsley. She claims to have something good to offer, but I can already see that her words are nothing more than lies spun from the devil’s web.
The Lord speaks and I listen. I am his daughter. I am his child. I am his mouthpiece and his priestess. And He is my God…
And woah… Would you look at that? All three of us are prepped and ready to go. This experience is going to be a fun one in many ways, and I can’t wait to witness them all.
