He was sadly looking at the
superintendent while he kept thinking about when he gets back to his
neigbhourhood church, how he would meet her constant sit empty, how he would not see her backing him up as usual when he is leading prayers, how he would not
bear seeing her in bar, or in a club, or dressed almost naked, he was so
confused and lost in his thoughts. Pastor! Pastor!! Pastor!!! Then his senses
came to him, “It’s time to take the offering” his colleague call out to him, he took the offering and sat down again lost in thoughts.
But she had made up her mind to keep coming to church for certain reasons but will live her life the way she pleases. She
was so determined and looking deadly, never friendly like before and always keeping
to herself. She was out for anyone who wants to speak to her about her new life
style, she was angry with a lot of them who had gossiped her when she was out
serving God with her heart.
After the service he chatted one of his spiritual
sons back there in his neigbhourhood church on whatsApp and asked if she had come to church,
and his reply gave him a face lift. She did come to church, she was at her
usual position in the choir, she sang with the microphone but she had make-up
almost like Jezebel.
His heart almost failed him on hearing
that, he quickly browsed through her wall on facebook and behold he saw
pictures of her congratulating her friend who just go engaged with the same attire
and make-up his spiritual son had told him about. On seeing her make-up his
faith dropped, he said to himself “can I bring her back to faith again for the
second time seeing that I am now the problem”? She had hated him so much
because he was mute to her for 4 months; she had called him a wicked guy who
failed in all his promises to marry her. He told his spiritual son to keep an
eye on her and report to him every activity she attends in church with her
dress code.
His spiritual son had just wrote that
she was about getting married to someone else who is not a member of the church
and that she had gone to the extent of inviting him to one of the Sunday
services. He asked how he knew about this and he told him a close friend of her
in church confined on him. Like an earthquake his head vibrated and he lost
control of himself, subbing and crying relentlessly.
Thoughts of the dream he had had one
year ago flashed through his vibrating brains; he had seen in his dream when he
came back and was looking for her because he had finally been released to marry
her but she kept on holding unto a guy and was unwilling to go with him unless
that guy follows; he also flashed back at the dream she saw back then when he was still with her in their childhood neigbhourhood church, she got married to another man but the wedding was not glorious
and people in church were not happy with her choice of man.
Then it dawned on him that this could be
the manifestation of those dreams, but they had both prayed seriously about it,
they had also fasted and canceled it, he thought to himself why would all these
be happening? Thoughts overwhelmed him as he kept wishing that all this was
dream, he was so angry for giving up on their relationship when she wanted to let go, he hit himself so hard that he had bruises on his face, and then he
looked up and cried hopelessly bitterly.
He knew very well in his heart that this
guy coming to marry her was an unbeliever and an agent from the devil to derail her, he knew quite alright that the committee
that was chairman by the coordinator would approve their marriage since they have succeeded in pushing him far away from her, he knew she could take deadly decisions and
damn the consequences when she’s pressed to the wall.
He was helpless, everyone he had contacted to speak to her about her choices has refused for fear of been insulted.
