Episode 44.
Season Finale!
It was a Sunday morning and the day that Leo had decided to show himself in church. The past few days had been really tough for him.
Chief Ike had died on top of a prostitute and the news had spread round the town. His wives have all scrambled his money and properties and fled from his home even though his body was still in the morgue. The news came to reverend leo and he shook his head in pity for the chief. He had already warned chief on this his unending thirst for young women. He felt bad that the chief died the way he did. Also, Revealing himself to Rachael in the hospital was tough for him. He wished things didn’t go the way they did. For he truly loved that woman. Rachael has begged him for Mercy and from his heart he forgave her. He had prayed for her and asked God to show her mercy just before she drew her last breath.
Leo cried for his wife, he cried because a little patience would have made her story different but because of her quest to be like other women she had forgotten her calling. That same day he called her family members and narrated everything that has happened the last few months to them. They were very shocked to hear that the pregnancy didn’t belong to Leo. They said it was an abomination that thier daughter had committed and so she was buried quietly the same day she died. They couldn’t bear the shame of having others hear of the great atrocity that thier daughter had committed.
Leo looked at himself in the mirror once again. He was dressed in black. But he was extremely handsome. He picked up his walking stick and came out and set for church. He had moved out of his former house because he called it a soiled house. He didn’t wish to remain in the house that Rachael had soiled. All he took was the car he bought for Rachael.
He stepped into the car and drove out. Grace was already waiting for him outside with her son. He picked them and together they drove off.
Grace: You will really tell the church everything today?
Leo: Yes I will.
Grace: Even all that happened between mummy Reverend and Mr Alfred?
Leo: Yes I will tell them everything.
Grace: And what do you intend to do with Alfred and his family?
Leo: Nothing dear, they’ve left , let them go. I have nothing against Alfred. His case and judgement is with God not me. He will give to every man thier judgement according to how they’ve lived thier lives.
Then he picks up his phone and he called the policemen that he was already on his way and they should meet him up in church.
***********************************
Pastor Jim , had finished his sermon and was trying to raise a charity fund. He requested that those who could give a hundred thousand to support the work of God should stand up. Reverend Leo who was sitting in the congregation wearing a dark shade stood up and began to walk to the alter.
Pastor Jim could not tell if he was seeing right or it was actually Leo, he started cleaning his eyes to be sure of the person walking towards him. Some of the members who had recognised him started stepping out of the church. But some who didn’t know who he was sat in total confusion. Reverend Leo removed his shade for Jim to see him clearly. He almost fainted but he didn’t want the church to see he was scared and so he grabbed his bible and anointing oil and started praying while shifting back gradually.
Jim: Blood of Jesus, I bind you, every unclean spirit, every spirit of the dead, I return you back to the grave where you belong. I bind you.
A smiling Leo, turned face the church as some members took to thier heels. The police men stepped in and reverend Leo pointed at Jim to them. They quickly handcuffed him and informed him that he was under arrest, for stealing of church funds. A confused Jim was trying to understand what was going on when the treasurer walked in with another set of policemen. He didn’t notice reverend Leo but pointed to Jim.
Treasurer: officers that’s him, please arrest him. This is the man that sent those boys to assassinate my wife and I. (To Jim) so you wanted to have me killed simply because I told you I am not doing again. Well I’m glad to announce to you that the boys you sent failed and are now cooling off in jail. Arrest him officers.
And then he saw reverend Leo, he wanted to run away but the policemen held him.
Leo: officers please arrest him too, they are both together. Stealing and eating church money and doing many atrocities in the church.
Treasurer: Reverend Leo, is that you? You are alive? Our God is good. Am so glad that you are alive. (To the police) yes arrest me, I am a thief, I connived with pastor Jim here and together weve been stealing money from the church. Please arrest me I am ready to pay for my crimes. It is because I told Jim I have changed and will no longer be party to stealing that is why he wanted to have me killed. Arrest me.
The policemen put a handcuff on him and together they were dragged out of the church.
Reverend Leo picked up the mic and addressed the church narrating to them how Tina seduced him at his office and how he refused her which got her angry and she decided to kill him but God had used sister Grace to save his life. The whole church was surprised. Some of the members who ran away were already coming back. While the likes of Stella, Helen and Vic were busy updating thier Facebook’s and Instagrams with videos of what was going on in the church.
Reverend Leo then told the church all that happened between his wife Rachael and Alfred and how the mummy of the church died and is now buried. This came as a shock to the whole church as some shook thier heads in pity for mummy Reverend. Some were nodding mad saying they had always suspected. Reverend Leo then announced to them that he will be taking Grace as his wife , though not now but after the period of mourning his late wife. The church clapped for him and some excited members who had come to the realization that it was truly him went out boldly to have a handshake with him.
The reverend assured the church that God will always be God and no matter what a man does in secret one day it will be brought to light. He told them that there will always be enemies in the church. And that he knows that even now enemies are still inside the church but God who separates day and night will always preserve His own and pick those enemies out of the church one after the other.
Leo: In the house of God, are you an enemy or a friend. Let what you do judge you.
Stella, Vic and Helen on hearing this took a look at themselves and then quickly deleted thier post on Facebook and kept thier phones quietly in thier bags.
Stella: Posting information in the church on Facebook, does that make me an enemy of the church?
Vic: who are you asking?
Stella: Answer me na
Helen: do I know for you? Abeg am leaving. The drama in this church is too much.
Stella: Abeg wait for me, before they will give me name that is not my own.
Vic: Let’s all leave together, but the truth is nobody mentioned our names, it’s just our conscience that is judging us.
Stella: Meaning?
Vic: Meaning before you do anything inside the church, if within your hearts of hearts you know that thing will not tell well of the church and will not bring glory to the body of Christ then don’t do it because if you do it makes you an ENEMY OF THE CHURCH.
The girls with thier gloomy faces picked thier bags and stepped out of the church as everyone gradually settled down for the service to continue.
The End!
