MY BABY HUSBAND

Episode 58

By Ayo Omolayo

“So what did you do? What happened between the two of you?” Pastor Kunle asked.

I started narrating my story. How I spat in front of Silas in the presence of everyone. How I insulted him and everything.

I was expecting the pastor to say something. Something like, ‘How could you have done such a thing?’ or, ‘Cris, you’re such a horrible person!’

All he did was listen to me. He was completely sorry, from the look on his face. That was part of what I could make out of it.
I looked for some sign of blame casting. Something to show he was disappointed in me, but I saw nothing.

“It’s alright Cris! I guess we have serious work to do. By that I mean prayers”, he said.

“Sir!”

“Yes”, he replied.

“Can I call him to join us here?” I asked.

“Feel free. Though I doubt he will agree. He has been avoiding me at every cost”.

“No! Not Silas. He’s a good man. He can’t do something like that”, I said as I brought out my phone and dialed his number.

As soon as it started ringing, I placed it close to my ears.

“Hello!”

“Hi Mr Silas! I’m so sorry for the way everything went this morning”, I apologized.

“Don’t bring up this issue again. It’s fine by me. I have forgiven you and you are free to move on with your rich life”.

My jaws dropped, leaving my mouth wide open. Was this my Silas or someone else speaking.

“Silas I’m sorry. I just want to make a request. Please!”

“That I meet you in your office, right? My answer is no. You can go ahead and fire me. I really need that now. That would save me alot of embarrassment. One of your friends met me here this morning while driving out and made a fool out of me.

Cris, I saw pastor when he entered. I know what both of you are planning. You can fire me if you want. But be sure of one thing. I’m not coming up there”, he replied.

“Silas! Have you forgotten I’m your boss and you are just a gateman? Who’s giving you morale? Oh! Is it because I want to marry you that you’re now misbehaving for me? I want to come down to your level and marry you and you’re busy doing yanga for me”.

Those were the words I was about to say, when daddy stopped me. No, they were not good at all. I couldn’t use such words on my husband. Every wife must learn to be submissive.

I exhaled and clutched the phone tightly.

“Silas, please forgive me! I’m sorry!”

“Christiana, please! I need you to believe I have forgiven you. You are free to live your life the way you want. What do you need from a gateman like me?”

“I have something very important to tell you, please!”

“There’s no need for that! Goodbye boss”, he said and hung up.

“Jesus, what humiliation? Christiana begging a gateman! Her own gateman. Lord you really know how to humble the proud. Blessed be your name”, I said and made a sad smile.

“Wow!” The pastor smiled.

I bowed my head and whispered a few prayers to God.

“THIS IS THE NEW SILAS YOUR REBELLION HAS CREATED”, Came the gentle whisper.

“God please! Help me! I would never forgive myself if I become the reason this innocent brother falls”, I whispered.

“IF YOU CAN PRAY, I’LL ANSWER! CAN YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID? YOU CREATED A MESS YOU DON’T HAVE THE POWER TO CLEAN. THAT’S ONE THING HUMANS DON’T REALIZE. THEY KEEP CLAIMING IT’S MY LIFE AND I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH IT. BUT THEY DON’T KNOW THAT EVERYTHING WE DO HAS AN EFFECT ON SOMEONE ELSE. WHETHER NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE.

FOR EXAMPLE, A YOUNG LADY IN SECONDARY SCHOOL CAN STAND UP AND SAY, ‘IT’S MY LIFE NOT MY PARENT’S. IM GOING TO USE MY BODY THE WAY I LIKE IT. SHE STARTS GOING AFTER GUYS BECAUSE SHE LIKES IT. SOON, SHE GETS AN UNWANTED PREGNANCY. WHO’S GOING TO CLEAN UP THE MESS?”

“Her parents”.

“WHO WOULD BEAR THE SHAME OF HAVING A PREGNANT TEENAGER?”

“Her parents?”

“DOES HER DECISION TO ENJOY THE PLEASURES OF SIN AFFECT HER PARENTS?”

“Yes”.

“THAT’S IT CRIS! DON’T BE SELF CENTERED IN YOUR DECISIONS. EVERY DECISION YOU MAKE FOR YOURSELF IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU ALONE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE AFFECTED. LOVED ONES ARE GOING TO CRY. FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE GOING TO FEEL THE PAIN. IT’S EITHER GOING TO MAKE THEM PROUD OR BRING SHAME TO YOU. SO WATCH YOUR ACTIONS”.

“Daddy, I’m so sorry for creating this mess”,

“IT’S OKAY MY BABY GIRL! FOR THIS REASON THE SON OF GOD WAS MADE MANIFEST THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. THAT’S WHAT I CANE TO DO. SHOULD I SAY I ENJOY TEACHING THE DEVIL A LESSON”.

I raised my head and took up a handkerchief to wipe my tears.

“Daddy, can we go and meet him at the gate?” I asked.

“That wouldn’t be necessary. Let’s give him some space. We have talked and it’s not working. Let’s go into the spirit realm to talk. I like talking from the spirit realm. The physical realm have no choice but to bow”, he said smiling.

“Yes sir”, I replied.

“So can we fix a time to meet in the spirit realm?”

“I don’t understand”,I replied, giving him that face that showed I was confused.

“I meant. When can we schedule the prayer? I want us to pick a time. You’ll be praying in your house at that time and I’ll be praying in mine”, he answered.

“Oh! Is that what you call meeting in the spirit realm?”

“Yeah!”

“Daddy, you are one mysterious pastor!” I said grinning.

“See your mouth! You think I have not been watching your online videos. What was that your name again oooo. …. Yes!” He shouted.

“Aunty Rhema!”

I burst into laughter on the spot.

“My head swelled when I heard you mention Fanny Jane Crossby in your ministration. I had never heard of her in my life. I was surprised that all those hymns I loved so much were written by a blind woman. Cris, I was blessed by that ministration.

I saw how souls came out in their numbers to meet with Jesus. Satan was infuriated that day and swore to knock you down. But he’s a failure in Jesus name!”

“Amen!” I replied.

“So what time are we picking?” He asked.

“Twelve midnight”, I answered.

“Hmmmmm! This madam has also understood spiritual wall clock. I envy your grace ooo!”

I laughed so hard that my stomach tightened.

“Daddy, don’t go there. You’re the one owing me impartation”, I replied.

“Calm down jare! John the Baptist told Jesus that he was supposed to be the one coming to Jesus for baptism, yet Jesus was meeting him to be baptized. But at the end of the day, who baptized Jesus?”

I started laughing again.

“Na laugh be the answer? Who baptized Jesus?”

“John, sir”, I said admist laughter.

“Exactly! So come and baptize me ooo! To fulfill all righteousness”,

I couldn’t believe I would find spiritual leaders this interesting. I always thought spiritual men are so strict and serious. I had never seen this side of the man of God.

He left with the promise to call me later in the day. I picked up my phone and explained all that happened to my mentor. It was a one hour discussion on the phone. Hmmm, spiritual parents sacrifice their time alot ooo. At the end of the conversation, she agreed to join pastor and I in the prayers. She even promised to get her husband to join us.

What a mum she is. I was so speechless on the phone.

“Mummy, you’re the best. I can’t believe I was almost dumping you for Susan”.

Now I saw the stupidity in what Susan stopped me from doing. My mentor was not just a spiritual leader but we were connected in the spirit. The love she has for me is more stronger than anyone out there. Because the mother who birthed the child would be more connected to the child than a stranger I just met in two days.

I called Harmony, Cynthia, Sharon, though it was Tunde that picked the call. I also called my new friend from the psychiatric hospital, Sarah. They all agreed to join us for the prayers.

“Satan! We’re coming for you. Meet us for combat at 12 midnight!”

When I drove out of the company, it was our second gateman that opened the gate.

I had to ask what happened to Silas. Normally, this guy opens the gate for the company, but I knew today’s own was deliberate.

“He took a leave from work. He’s gone home”, he answered.

“CRIS FORGET ABOUT THAT! GO HOME. WE’VE GOT SOME SERIOUS BOXING TO GIVE LUCIFER TONIGHT”, Came the gentle whisper.

“Thank you”, I said and drove out.

To tell you the truth, I was only waiting for 12 midnight that day. Everything I was doing was so irrelevant. I found myself looking at the clock at intervals.

To be honest I only slept for 30 minutes that night. I was awake when my 12 midnight alarm rang. I had already called everyone praying along side with me to remind them. They all gave me a positive response.

“Arise oh Lord and let your enemies be scattered!” I said as I began pacing the room, speaking in unknown tongues.

I prayed aggressively like a wounded lion which indeed, I was. Satan had offended me so much. It’s time to pay him back in his own coins. My voice was almost deep. It was so loud that I forgot myself.

As I prayed, I began to hear voices of different people praying in tongues. I was surprised, but kept praying.

“Daddy what’s going on? I asked.

“THOSE ARE THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE PRAYING ALONG WITH YOU!” Came the gentle whisper.

I smiled as a scripture dropped in my heart.

“1 Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting”.

The prayers lasted for 2 hours before I felt peace within me. I still wanted to pray.

“I’m not sure this peace is enough”, I said within and started another round of aggressive prayers.

“MY FRIEND WILL YOU GO AND SLEEP? AUNTY PRAYER WARRIOR!”

“Daddy, one must not repeat the mistake of the past. Let me pray for the next fifteen minutes”,

“IF I CATCH YOU EHN! THIS ROOM WILL NOT CONTAIN THE TWO OF US!”

I burst into laughter.

“Daddy, I’m already in your hands na. Where will I run to that you are not there?”

“I MEANT IF I CATCH YOU PRAYING. GO AND SLEEP LET ME COVER YOU WITH THE BLANKET”.

“Wow! Daddy, that’s so sweet of you”, I said and rushed to the bed.

I laid down and made sure I didn’t spread the duvet over my body.

“Daddy, I’m waiting for you. Come and cover your baby girl!”

“USE YOUR HANDS JARE! SEE YOUR MOUTH!” He replied and I could feel him laughing within me.

“But you said you would cover me with the blanket”, I said and frowned.

“THAT’S ONE THING YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND. ANYTHING I MUST DO ON EARTH MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A HUMAN BEING. IF I WANT TO BLESS YOU FINANCIALLY, I MEAN, IF I WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY. I WOULD NEED TO DO IT THROUGH A HUMAN BEING.

SO RIGHT NOW, I NEED YOU TO USE YOUR HANDS BECAUSE THOSE HANDS ARE ACTUALLY MY HANDS!”

“Daddy I score you hundred over hundred in wisdom. You finish me!” I replied laughing.

“WHO CREATED WISDOM IN THE FIRST PLACE?”

“Oh! I forgot!” I replied with a smile.

“ONE MORE THING CRIS!”

“Yes Daddy!”

“MAKE SURE YOU CALL SILAS BY THE BREAKING OF THE DAY. IS THAT OKAY?”

“Yes sir!” I replied.

To be continued…….

Cris has created a mess she doesn’t have the power to clean up. But that’s the wonderful thing about God. He’s just too loving. He would still show up when you need him. He’s always a friend that sticks closer than a brother.

Silas would be the one to tell the story henceforth.

So get ready for the next episode.

I want to thank you all for the prayers you rained on me yesterday. The sickness could not survive such an atmosphere of prayers.

It had no choice but to flee.

Please share with me one thing you learned in this episode.

Don’t read and walk away silently. Please go ahead and share what you learnt with me.
