MY BABY HUSBAND
Episode 86
By Ayo Omolayo
“Can’t she talk?” I asked.
“She can, but you’ll barely hear a thing. She’s struggling with her words. Struggling to use her tongue”, Doc answered.
“CRIS TELL SILAS TO START PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT. YOU GO AHEAD AND TALK TO HER”.
“Okay sir”, I replied and turned to Silas.
“Dad says you should start praying in tongues right now. He said you should be doing that while I speak with the woman”.
“Got it”, he said and started praying immediately.
I turned to the lady and exhaled.
“Mummy, I want you to know that there is nothing God cannot do. I’m not here to remind you of all the sins you have committed. As long as you have asked God to forgive you, they have been forgiven.
I’m not telling you this so you can jump into sin and jump out whenever you feel like. I’m telling you this so that you will not abuse the grace God has given you.
You may have done horrible stuffs in the past, but I’m here to tell you what God has to say.
In the book of second Chronicles 7:14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
God is here to hear your prayers. He is here to answer your requests. He is here to help you. To heal you and set you free. I just want to announce to you that your period of living on the sick bed is over. Do you believe that?”
I touched her arm gently and she closed her eyes and opened them. I guess that was her own style of saying yes.
I smiled and gave her fingers a gentle squeeze.
“Lord, you said in your word in the book of Jeremiah 32:27. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Indeed, there is nothing too hard for you. Piece of cake daddy! That’s what I’m see here, just a piece of cake. Now let me address you, spirit of Infirmity. Hear the word of the Lord.
The bible says that God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
So I command you in that name that is above every other name. Get out of this body in the name of Jesus.
“Amen!” Doc said.
“When Jesus entered the temple at Jerusalem. The first thing he did was to drive out all those illegal occupants in his father’s house. He drove out those who were buying and selling in his temple. He said that his temple is a place of prayer, not a place for sickness. That means the more you use your body for prayers, the more sickness cannot stay there.
This body is a temple for prayers. Sickness you are an illegal occupant. This is not your house. This is a house of prayer, not a house for sickness to dwell in.
Therefore, I command you come out in the name of Jesus!”
“CRIS LAY YOUR HAND ON HER TOMMY”, Came the instruction.
I quickly placed my hand on her stomach and immediately, it was like there was an electric force that transferred. She jumped up immediately and fell from the bed.
She made groaning sounds and bent over to vomit. Before we could get something or move get to the toilet, she had spilled everything on the floor.
“Whatever you swallowed in the dream is out of your system”, Silas said grinning.
She stood up and walked into the toilet to wash her face. We had to get a mop and a bucket quickly to tidy up the room. While she was in the toilet, we did I quick job in tidying up the whole place.
By the time we were done, she came out.
“Mummy, how are you?” Doc asked.
“I’m fine!” She replied as she walked to the bed and sat down.
We all looked at each other with excitement on our faces.
“Mummy, you mean you can talk?”
“Of course I can talk, why wouldn’t I be able to talk?” She replied.
“Oh my Jesus!” I said with my hands over my mouth.
“It’s supposed to be oh my God!” Silas corrected.
“Charming! Leave protocols oh. Are you seeing what I’m seeing? Sawest thou what I seest?”
“Christy you don come again with this grammar”, he said admist laughter.
“Mummy are you hungry?” I asked.
“Very hungry”, she answered.
“Get something for her to eat”, I said immediately.
Doc rushed out of the room immediately. Soon, he came back with a tray of apples. He quickly placed them on a stool beside her and stood to watch.
Mummy devoured an apple in two bites. She went for her second opponent on the tray. She devoured him with 3 bites. Soon the 3rd and 4th opponents were so scared that they had to run out of the tray. They actually fell from the tray. Probably due to mummy’s speed.
But to me, na run them run ooo. See the way Mummy was eating. You would be scared if your name was Mr Apple. She didn’t even wait for us to pick it up for her. She picked it up herself and used her wrapper to rub it. That was enough cleaning to continue the combat.
We all stood watching.
“Why are you all looking at me? Don’t just stand there, get me water!” She requested.
Silas and Doc ran to get the water at the same time and bumped into each other.
I was just holding my laughter inside my belly.
“Sorry”, the apologized to each other and quickly went to get the water.
Both of them poured water for Mummy to drink. I was excited when she took Silas’ cup.
She was still drinking when someone entered the room. I was shocked when I turned and saw the face.
“What in the world are you doing here?” He shouted on seeing me.
“How did you get into my house?” He asked in anger.
I was still looking for how I will answer the JAMB question, when another elderly man walked in.
I felt like the ground should open and swallow me.
“So we meet again”, he said grinning.
You can guess who it was, but the first person was barrister Obi. Wait a minute! Doctor Francis is barrister Obi’s son?”
What a small world! So we have been in Barrister Obi’s house all these while without knowing. I felt like jumping out through the window.
“What are we going to do?” I whispered to Silas.
“Start talking to Mummy”, he whispered back.
“Hi mummy! How are you?” I asked and quickly sat down beside her on the bed.
“I am fine my daughter”, she replied immediately.
I love the way this my mummy was playing along.
“Are you still hungry?”
“What is your name my daughter?” She asked.
“Mummy God will bless you”, I replied inwardly.
“My name is Cristina or Christiana. Anyone you feel like calling me”, I replied grinning.
“Cris what?”
“Okay, just call me Olamide”, I said in a jiffy.
“Is now you mentioned name ooo. All what I was hearing was all these oyinbo names. What made you forget your Yoruba identity?”
“No mind me Mummy! To travel go America dey hungry me”, I replied and she burst into laughter.
We all watched her as she laughed so hard and beyond ordinary.
Barrister threw his briefcase on the floor and rushed to his wife.
“Yemisi! What happened to you?” He asked in curiosity.
“Your daughter prayed for me and immediately, Jesus healed me”, she replied smiling.
“Jesus?” He asked.
“Yes! Jesus”.
He turned to look at my uncle who was equally shocked. My all knowing an smart uncle had nothing to say.
Barrister turned to me. I quickly went down on my knees.
“Daddy, I’m sorry for stepping into your house. I’m sorry for….”
“Get up! Get up!” He shouted.
I quickly rose up. He stood up and made to kneel down to me, but Silas and I quickly stopped him.
“Daddy! How will you want to kneel down for the wife of a gateman?” He asked.
“You’re not a gateman. You’re a man of God! Jesus! I can’t believe I insulted the solution to the millions of naira I have been wasting on a monthly basis.
What kind of healing grace is this? Please find a place in your heart to forgive me”, he said as tears rolled down his eyes.
“Daddy! Please don’t embarrass us. How would you be begging we your children? Daddy please stop this!” Silas said.
“I have wronged you and your wife. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me. Please I beg you”, he said and made to kneel down.
Silas and I grabbed him this time. The baba was so heavy ooo. I have never lifted someone as heavy as that, but thank God for the emergency strength he gave me.
“Daddy please! I will leave this house if you try this thing again”, I threatened.
“Please don’t leave. Gabriel! Talk to your daughter. You have been silent and I don’t like your silence. Please say something.
We turned around and saw our uncle standing behind us. His eyes were looking blurred with tears. He stood transfixed, unable to utter a word.
“Chai! I once read in the bible where Jesus said I have come to give sight to those who cannot see and to take sight away from those who claim they can see. Today na, I come to make the dumb to speak and to make the talkative to become dumb.
See my uncle ooo. You no fit talk again abi?
“Cris! You’re a good woman! I have been a bad man. I have been a wicked father to you”.
I quickly threw my arms around him and hugged him.
“Daddy, I love you so much! Please accept my Jesus! You knew me very well before I met Jesus. You knew the kind of girl I was. I was just as bad as any spoilt brat out there.
I had no iota of respect for the elderly and you know it. I was as terrible as a witch. So rebellious!
But Jesus came into my life and transformed me completely. He took away my sins, my guilt, my shame and made me brand new.
That Jesus is the one I’m introducing to you. He can change the heart of a man. He can turn your life around. He can make you brand new as he did with me.
All you have to do is to accept him as your Lord and personal saviour. Please Daddy”,
I pulled out of the hug and held his two hands.
“Will you serve this God with me? Will you say yes to Jesus?” I asked and stared into his eyes.
“Yes!” He answered.
I squealed like a girl who had won a championship match.
“Hallelujah!” Silas said smiling.
“I am ready too”, barrister said.
“Wow!”
This’ is amazing. Two souls at a time. God! You’re so wonderful.
I quickly led them to say the sinner’s prayer. Immediately they were done, we shook hands with them.
“This was seriously the Lord’s doing and it’s beyond marvelous. It’s awesome! I mean, I don’t know the right word to use to describe it”, Silas said as we left the house.
“Wait!” The maid shouted from the door.
We both turned.
“Your uncle wants to have a brief word with you”, she said and made way for my uncle as he came out to meet us”.
“Cris! When is your wedding date?” He asked.
I felt like I didn’t hear him correctly. Can you please repeat what you have just said?
“Sir?”
“I said when is your wedding date?”
“Daddy! We don’t have one yet. We were patiently waiting for your approval before choosing a date for the wedding”, I answered.
“Then your waiting days are over. You have tomorrow to give me feedback on the wedding date. If I don’t get your feedback tomorrow, I’ll pick a date myself.
I want you both wedded within two weeks from now. Infact, two weeks is too long. I want you in your husband’s house by the end of this week”, he said smiling.
Wait ooo! Na my uncle dey talk abi na me dey sleep too much con dey see wetin dey shock me?
To be continued…….
At last! The wedding has been approved.
