On Lagos-Ibadan express road,
when a Pastor met a team of
policemen who quite naturally
wanted 'something' from him.
Since he was not prepared to
play their games, they asked for his papers and having combed
through everything without any
offence with which to nail the
'stubborn' pastor, they now
asked him to open the bonnet of
his car. A careful scrutiny of the engine
number against what was on
paper revealed that letter 'U'
was written in such a way that
it could be mistaken for letter
'V'. That was all the officer-in- charge needed to shout "stolen
vehicle!" Sensing trouble, even when he
knew he committed no offence,
the pastor called the 'OC' to say
he was a pastor to which the
officer replied, "Please! Leave
that pastor thing! In any case, if you are indeed a pastor, then
you must have a bible in your
car, bring it." The Pastor did as was
commanded after which the
officer now ordered, "Please
read Matthew 5:25-26 to me". The incredulous Pastor opened
to the recommended passage
and read; "Settle matters
quickly with your adversary who
is taking you to court. Do it while
you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over
to a judge, and the judge may
hand you over to the officer,
and you may be thrown into
prison. I tell you the truth, you
will not get out until you have paid the last penny." The man of God quietly made an
"offering" of "just" 1000naira
to his newly found "preacher"
