AN ENDLESS
SEARCH 1
A seventy five years
old man walked gently down the road. As he walked he was deeply engrossed in thoughts
within him. What was wrong with him? What exactly was he thinking about?

Was it housing? No for
he has seven houses spread across his state of residence. Was it cars or
perhaps was he lacking in finances? Not at all for he not only had a good fleet
of cars in his garage but he also owned several businesses that was yielding
large amount of money to him on monthly bases. If this be so what then is it
that troubled him so much that it was very apparent to all who saw him that he
was looking very morose?

For some time now Pa
Ogiugo Omoregbe for that was what the name of the seventy five old man was had
been having this feeling of emptiness within him. He felt a longing within him
to connect with his creator.. In his youthful days he had no time for religious
things. All he ever wanted was to have money and through honest and dishonest
means he was able to make wealth.
Almost anything he
wanted he bought but to satisfy this longing of his soul, he knew money cannot
buy it.

Pa Omoregbe decided to
seek for solution from the church. Thus one Sunday morning he waked down the
road to a nearby church just five minutes walking distance from his residence
looking as we have already seen very morose
The atmosphere in the
church was electrifying as he stepped inside. Soon the Pastor mounted the
podium. He was very charismatic as he using much theatrics taught on the
principles of acquisition of financial wealth.

The pastor spole
extensively on how he having just returned from the airport he had been shown
the hanger belonging to a fellow clergy which is reputed to be the best in the
country.
He told his faithful
that in a few years he would not only have acquired five aircraft but his
hanger will be built in such a manner that it would outshine that of every
other person in the country much to the delight of his hearers. Although he had
no visible form of business the congregants never reasoned how he hope to
achieve this but they kept on shouting Amen, Hallelujah to his so called
prophetic declarations.

Pa Omoregbe was not
impressed with the sermon. What would a seventy five old man need a private jet
for? This was not what he was looking for however he returned back to the
church the next Sunday thinking that message was just for that day alone but
alas much to his consternation the charismatic man of God continued from where
he stopped the previous Sunday.
After a while he felt
that all that one needed to enter heaven was to have financial wealth.

And it came to pass
that at the end of three years; Pa Omoregne slept and woke up the next morning
feeling pain in his chest. He rose up from the bed and tried walking into the
rest room but he fell down. He screamed for help as he tried to rise again but
before his people could come to his rescue he fell again to rise no more still
feeling the emptiness in him.
AN
ENDLESS SEARCH CONCLUSION
For three years Pa
Omoregbee attended this church hoping to hear messages that will bring
salvation to him. In all of this time not even for once did his pastor teach on
the basic rudiments of salvation how much more the advanced principles of
entering heaven? Now he has passed on to a Christ less grave not for lack of trying
but because his pastor and many others like him for reasons best known to them
choose to preach on only messages of financial wealth. Will Pa Omoregbe find
rest in the great beyond or will he continue this endless search.
