BROTHER MARCUS
I’m Adebola Timmy by the grace of God. I’m a faith-based film maker, counselor, Christian comic novelist, Award winning author and content creator. I’m popularly known has Brother Marcus due to the role I played in the movie, final contest. The character in that movie happens to be a stubborn brother who was in a tussle with a spiritual brother for the hand of a sister in marriage. The movie was released around 2016. I left the gospel fold for the secular
world and got called by God
to find my way back to the
gospel fold after five years in the secular world.
Coming back here, I
discovered the character
name ‘Brother Marcus ‘ was
loved by people here and they kept calling me that.
I’m graced by divine mercies
when it comes to writing
funny stories and content. I
decided to leverage on the
name and write gospel stories et al as led by the Holy Spirit. The character was rebranded
and made to suit the reality of some overly spiritual brothers we have in Christendom today.
WHO IS BROTHER MARCUS?
Brother Marcus is a single brother who is overly spiritual. He claims to have been giving the mandate to Destroy and uproot demonic powers. He calls Himself ‘THE spiritual bulldozer ‘.
He is a man who is very stingy and believes it is a privilege for any lady to have him. He does His things violently and most importantly, he is a man vast in the word but uses them to suit himself. A man who never apologizes and very stubborn. Above all, He is a very funny man. Let’s get a sneak peak of what His world looks like.
Below is a love letter He wrote to a sister.
DEAR SISTER NKECHI,
The fact that I am taking my time to write this love letter to you shows you are highly recognized both on Earth and in heaven.
Men with higher grace like me don’t have such time….
I am sure you know me so well… I am one of the popular Minister in Church… But for official sake, let me reintroduce myself.
I am Brother MARCUS. A.k.a the jungle revivalists. Some call me the Holygholistic revivalist while some call me Spiritual terror…
I know I might not have a house of my own but you need to see the mansion I am building in heaven. Men like us deal with Spiritual matters… We are not after material things.
Sister nkechi, I want you to know that being my wife will make life much easier for you.
I will make you a spiritual bulldozer. When other ladies see you, they will tremble.
Oh what a great privilege to be approached by a great man like me. I want you to be my wife…the woman that will oil the wheel of my ministry.
I give you three days to give me a reply. Think twice before replying me because you might never get this opportunity again in your life. I am ready to join the angels to welcome you to my world…
I await your positive response. Please, don’t serve me breakfast. I remain your loyal Brother in Christ AND friend in the vineyard.
Your divine partner,
BROTHER MARCUS
A.K.A THE SPIRITUAL BULLDOZER
“Marcus take it easy! This is your first time here, at least try to act civilized.” Linda whispered to his ear “Linda. The angel commanded Elijah to eat because the journey is very far.” He replied “Babe! Must you spiritualize everything? There are CCTV cameras everywhere. My parent might be watching you” “I am not a thief! They invited me over here and you served me this. So, why should I worry?” “You don’t get it. They might be observing your manners and approach. “ “Amazing! My manner and approach in eating meat? My dear, the only approach I know is written in the book of Matthew 11 vs. 12; the kingdom of God suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force. Therefore, I have been called and given the mandate to devour and trample any kind of animal”
“You didn’t have to quote the scriptures, this is a very simple matter. Can you at least let my parent finish their meeting with you before you start eating?” “I have heard you but let me at least take one piece. I am at the gate of the promise land already, please don’t let me return without having a taste of its sweetness “He pleaded *Linda’s Parent walks in majestically. Marcus stands up to greet them.* “Please have your sit. I am very glad my daughter chose a fine and respectful man” Linda’s Father said. “Oh yes! He looks very calm and gentle. I like him already” Linda’s mother added. “Thank you so much sir. I appreciate your kind words” Marcus replied. “Babe! I beg you with God’s name. I believe you can see my Parent likes you already? Please, be a gentle man.” Linda pleaded
“You know I am gentle but when it comes to spiritual matters, I am a bulldozer, a terror, a weapon of mass destruction.” He bragged. “Abeg shut up! Does this place look like a crusade ground? You had better respect yourself” “Linda, you both can continue your discussion later. Young man, can you please introduce yourself?” *Marcus stands to his feet majestically* “Please have your sit. You don’t have to stand up” Linda’s mother said. “It is prophetic ma. I was led to do this.” He said boastfully. “I see! Okay, go ahead” “Thank you sir. My name is Brother Marcus. A.K.A The spiritual bulldozer. I am a man who has been called to terrorize the kingdom of darkness, a man with the mandate to destroy spiritual forces and neutralize the weapons of mass destruction the devil uses in destroying Christian homes” Linda’s parents looks at him amusingly. “Linda please excuse us, we would like to have a private moment with your husband to be” Her father “Okay dad” *Linda Excuses herself * “Young man, the spiritual bulldog or what do you call yourself?” “Spiritual bulldozer sir. The man with the mandate to destroy spiritual forces and neutralize the weapons of mass destruction sir”. “That’s enough please. I see! Well, it’s a good thing that we have young men that are burning for
God. Let’s all accept that you are sound in that aspect. I will like to know what you do for a living.” Her father asked.
“I kill sir! I murder! I butcher! I destroy! I uproot!” Marcus said fiercely.
“Uncle calm down please! You are sounding scary. My husband asked what you do for a living”
“I just told you ma. I kill and
destroy spiritual demons. I am a full time minister sir”
“Oh! I see! You should have just said this in simple terms. That’s fine. I won’t ask further questions
on that because I believe a man who wants to get married should be well prepared. My dear wife, I
know you have one or two things to ask him”
“Yes dear. I spoke with the vendor. You know my daughter and I were trying to make a rough estimate. We will surely carry you along but we are looking at a wedding
ceremony that will cost around six million naira” “Six million? Are we buying missionary bus for the church after the wedding day ma?” He asked “Did I mention that? What’s your problem? Is six million naira too much?” She asked “It is not in alignment with my spirit ma. We shouldn’t spend more than one hundred and fifty thousand naira for the wedding ma” “Egbami! Where did Linda find this man? My daughter can’t marry this boy o” “My dear take it easy. Young man, I want to believe you are saying this probably because you don’t have up to that amount. What if we give you the six million naira?” “I will buy a quality public address system for my evangelism. Get missionary bus and use the rest for spiritual matters. I won’t spend more than that one fifty thousand naira sir” “Get up! Up!” Linda’s Father ordered! “Hope all is well sir?” Marcus asked “DON’T let me see you with my daughter again. Get out of my house!” “No problem! Can I at least get a nylon, let me pack my meat.” “Are you okay? Will you get out! Hungry man” Linda’s mother said. “No problem ma. Please ma, the two hundred naira recharge card I sent to you last week. Kindly refund me ma. I can’t lose your daughter, loose the meat and lose my two hundred naira “ “Musa! Come and bundle this man out of this place!”
