PART 10
“GHOST RUN!”
©?Opeyemi O. Akintunde
“ What? She said that?” I was beyond shocked.
I knew what it felt like for a woman to be childless. I knew desperation could set in. I had been in those shoes so I knew how well it hurt, but I wasn’t sure wanting to have a child could push me into witchcraft.
“ I know she was desperate to have a child, especially since my parents were placing serious pressure on her, but I tried encouraging her to be strong, but she would not have it!”
********
“ Seun, God is the one who gave the witches the power they are also using… Can anyone do anything If God does not give the power to them… They can also create children!”
“ No BUNMI, they cannot create children, my mother once told me that some of the children gotten from wicked powers are sometimes animals or demons projected in women’s body who through incantations take the form of humans. That is why you see some children behaving like certain animals… Mother also said some children are actually from God, but the moment you go to the wrong places, they deceitfully claim the ownership of the child and in a bid place evil restrictions on that child! Besides, you are a pastor, doing this will be a disgrace. Don’t do what will not make you fit to be a pastor anymore!”
Bunmi had clapped…
“ Not fit? I knew this was your plan, you want to become the pastor in charge of the church, take it, Seun, take it…”
*********
“ Bunmi had said that and I thought it was just an empty threat. The next day during the Bible study. She had stood up in front of the group…” Seun was saying to a perplexed me.
************
“God is the same in all religion, My Husband and I have decided to serve you people better. He will be leading you in the Christian way, while I have decided to go the traditional way. This way I am able to correct the evil in that religion!” Bunmi said
*********
“ I knew that was not my wife speaking, so I pulled her aside asking her if she was alright, but instead I got a slap. Things went from bad to worse, and from worse to Terrible. It felt like she was under a spell. What was baffling was the fact that she was doing all she was doing to have a child, but yet she wasn’t friendly with me; the man she ought to have the child with.”
I maintained total silence as I was lost for the right words…
“ So she joined them and the rest they say is history. To me she is good as dead. Though I am not fully rooted in Christianity, I can and will not dine with evil.!” Seun said finally
“ But why did you decide to stay back in Mororo?” I asked
“ To prove a point…!”
“ Which is?”
“ Christianity will survive in Mororo without Bunmi!”
I looked on at Seun dumbstruck.
Was Christianity just a competition to him?
No wonder Mororo was the way it was! The foundation of the Christianity practiced there was weak… They were not serving God for Who He is, But they were trying to prove a point…
Jesus!
