PART 29
“GHOST RUN!”
©Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde
“I will go with you!” I heard Tunde sword saying to me…
“As?” I asked him
“Your business partner/ investor/ philanthropist!” He said
I laughed so loud…
“Sir, do you have the money to buy six months free water supply for the
people of Mororo!”
“I don’t have the money personally but I know people who can sponsor it!”
He said
“Do you permit me to follow you?” He asked and I became indecisive.
“Well, you don’t have a choice, I can’t leave you to go there on your own!” He
said smiling…
“I like it when you smile!” I said and before I could say Jesus is Lord, I hugged
him to comfort him…
“Don’t worry, you will heal, I still miss my husband but I encourage myself
to give this work my best because that will be the consolation my husband
will have if he is looking from above! “ I sincerely meant no harm, but instant
remembrance hit me… I quickly pulled away from him…
“I am really sorry sir!”
“It’s Okay Adenike!” He said smiling “Thank you!
I returned home after my 6 months training. My parents could testify I had
changed…I wasn’t in a rush to go to Mororo, I started scouting for sponsors. We had two options; one to either create a borehole to serve everyone… or
we get sponsors who can sponsor bringing in water for the people.
My brothers and most of the members of my church contributed towards it.
Pastor friends also promised to do something. Then the D day came, the day
of appearing in Mororo.
Tunde Sword had become my good friend. We had created a Water
Company. We named it “Ghost Run”. People questioned why we would name
a water business Ghost Run!
We had two meanings of Ghost Run and we presented the one that was
applicable…
To the plain minded people, we tell them that “Dirty water causes Death and
therefore our water which is purified makes the Ghost spirit (Death) Run
away…
This was our popular meaning for Ghost Run, but between Tunde Sword and
I ,we knew GHOST RUN was an abbreviation of a prayer…
“HOLY GHOST RUN THROUGH THE VEINS OF ANYONE WHO DRINKS
THIS WATER”…
Tunde Sword went to Mororo town without me . He and some workers we
employed went straight to the palace. As they got into Mororo, that thick
darkness was so strong. I was advised to stay back so I won’t be recognized…
I was comfortable with that and I took it upon myself to intercede for the
group that went…
Tunde Sword took over the conversation telling the King that he and the team
members were Health conscious people who wanted to get rid of the death
toll associated with unclean water. The king was excited at the news. He said
it was the desire of the village to have a clean water system. He tasted one of
the bottle water brought and he was refreshed…
Tunde Sword told him, as part of our philanthropic work we will be bringing
in clean water twice every month… He told them, a woman was the brain
behind the idea and due to her busy schedule she could not come to the
village…
For six months straight up, we would pray on the “‘Ghost Run“ water for
three days declaring that the Holy Ghost Run through the land, before taking
it to them…
Gradually, Tunde Sword started making friends. I had told him about Seun.
He told me it was Seun that walked up to him when they were filling up the
reservoirs on one the days they had brought the water to Mororo….
“Thank you for this initiative… But I must say, this Ghost Run water is really
sending away the Spirit of death from Mororo. There is a change in the
atmosphere, there is a change in people’s character, and people are more
relaxed… Is there something special about the water?” Seun asked
“The Water is a prayer water, your friend Adenike whose husband died has
been the one sending the water!” Tunde Sword had told him…
Seun had broken down in tears, Tunde Sword said Seun had told him, he
knew something was special about the water. Since the day he had been
drinking the Ghost Run water, the bitterness he felt towards his wife was
dissolving. He felt the urge to pray for her instead. He was beginning to see
her as a victim…
Seun also told Tunde Sword that a lot of people had been testifying about the
Ghost Run water! A woman who was always bleeding said two months into
drinking the water, her bleeding stopped…
A man who was always having terrible migraine, experienced healing after
taking the Ghost Run water…
Seun told Tunde Sword the “Miracle water” as the villagers had been calling
it had done a lot in the village…
“I need everyone to know who the brain behind this is…” Seun said and
before Tunde Sword could stop him, Seun had run off like the way the
Samaritan woman went to announce Jesus!. Half of the villagers came to the reservoir in less than 30 minutes. Seun had spread the good news and they wanted to come hear the good news from the
horse’s mouth. Tunde Sword Affirmed All they had heard from Seun…
“Yes she is the one! She knew you people needed healing and since you didn’t
accept her, she prayed on this water for you!” Tunde Sword said…
“I don’t believe this water has anything to the healings happening in Mororo,
it is just a coincidence!” One of the Adegbile sisters said…..
