THE FIGHT FOR EBUKA
Episode 17
Sister favour refused to be defeated. She had to go all the way to the headquarters to see DADDY G.O
—–DADDY G.O’S OFFICE——
-Daddy good afternoon sir.
-God bless you sister, you’re welcome.
-Thank you sir.
-i haven’t seen this face before
-yes sir, i worship at city of praise parish sir.
-oh really, that’s good. You’re welcome.
-sir, i came because of the said marriage between pastor Ebuka and Tonia.
-ok.
-sir, that Tonia can’t bare children. She damaged her fallopian tube with so much ab0rtions. I am her prayer partner. She confessed during one of our prayer meetings of her immoral life. Pastor Ebuka deserves a better person. Tonia lived a pretentious and lying life. She turned a new leaf only recently.
-hmmm, did you say so many ab0rtions?
-yes sir. So many, uncountable.
-hmmm, what’s your name?
-Favour sir. Favour Umoh sir.
-Favour, are you sure of what you’re saying?
-yes sir. Very sure sir. I am in the house of God, how can i lie?
-Favour, have you spoken to your pastor about this?
-yes sir.
-And what did he say?
-He didn’t say anything reasonable say. He was defending her. Daddy, pastor Ebuka doesn’t know what he is about getting himself into. If he ends up marrying that girl, it will be disaster o. All the guys she slept with will start scandal o. It will be former pr0stitute now pastor’s wife. Daddy please save Pastor Ebuka from this danger.
-hmmm, this is terrible. It’s ok. Thank you for the information. I will pray over it.
-Daddy, i’m not lying. This one you want to pray over it. I’m not lying sir. Save my pastor from the evil about hitting him.
-sister Favour, thank you. You may now leave.
Sister Favour did not stop there. She started spreading the rumour all over the place, telling whoever cared to listen. The rumour kept spreading till it got to Bro divine’s hearing. Bro Divine was very angry. He called a meeting for the whole youths.
-Halleluyah !!!!
-Amen.
-i called this short notice meeting because of the rumour spreading like wildfire in this fellowship. Who is doing this? Who is the devil using as instrument of destruction? I put it to us that all the rubbish flying all over the place about sister Tonia are nothing but lies.
(Sister Favour stood up to leave)
-Favour, where are you going to? Bro Divine asked.
-i want to ease myself sir.
(she left)
-(bro Divine continued) whoever has decided to give him or her self as instrument for the devil to use to destroy this union, the judgement of God will come upon such person. Let this evil stop. We are children of God, one body in Christ, why should we destroy the good thing God is about doing in our pastor’s life? Please enough is enough. This baseless and irritating rumour should stop. God bless you as you obey.
Tonia has been crying her eyes out. Her mother too. At home……
-mummy, (crying ) why me? Who is doing this to me? Who is spreading this rumour about me? Just when God has set his crown of honour on my head, they have gathered to take it away mummy, please help me oooo. God help me ooooo. (Crying and rolling herself on the ground)
-Tonia my child, get up please. Don’t hurt yourself. What God Has written, He Has written. No man has the power to take the crown of honour God has placed on your head. Your hands are clean. God will fight for you.
-mummy, he hasn’t called me since yesterday. Mummy he hasn’t called. I’m scared. It’s so unlike him. He calls everyday. Since yesterday he hasn’t called. Mummy, oh God!!!! I’m finished. Lord please help me.
-Tonia, don’t worry. Pastor Ebuka is a man filled with the spirit of God. He will not abandon you.
Tonia’s phone rang. Tonia took her phone.
-mummy, it’s him.(she wiped her tears) it’s him. Mummy, who knows What he wants to say to me. I’m scared.
-pick first na. Just pick.
-ok mummy. (She picked)
-hello
-MY ANGEL. How you? Why’s your voice like that? Sounds like you’ve been crying? Have you?
-when i haven’t heard from you since yesterday, what do you except.
-hahaha, see this girl o. Just yesterday? Ok I’m sorry. I should have told you, i went to camp. I’ve been in the camp. I just came back. I’m sorry.
-it’s ok. How are you?
-I’m good. Angel, i hope you are not crying because of the stupid rumour your prayer partner has been spreading?
-Jesus!!!!! Favour? So it’s Favour? Oh my God.
-listen to me Angel, i know what i heard from God. God gave me your name and your state. So there’s nothing anyone will say that will make me change my mind. Don’t let it get into you. Don’t cry for the devil.
-thanks so much. God bless you for coming into my life.
-you’re welcome. Hope you observed your quiet time?
-no i didn’t
-wow, Angel, why? Listen to me, do not allow anything, whatsoever, disrupt your relationship with God. 1Inch of space is enough for the devil to reck one million worth of havoc. Please my Angel.
-ok. I won’t fail to observe it again.
-Alright. And emmm, i think you should look for a special name to call me too.
-Tonia smiled. Pastor Ebuka, my TREASURE.
-awwwwwww. Beautiful.
-that’s how i saved your number too.
-i can’t stop smiling. Thanks so much Angel.
-you’re welcome
-how’s mum?
-mum is fine sir.
-ok. My regards to her. Angel, we are having chain prayer tonight. 12am, I’m flashing you. We just end by 2am so you can sleep before waking up to prepare for school ok?
-ok.
-Alright, take care of yourself for me.
-you too.
The call dropped.
-mummy, i am blessed. What did i ever give God to bless me like this.
-my dear, it pleases God, that’s why it is that way. We won’t say it is because of our righteousness, bible says it is like a filthy rag before him. It is just his mercies. We thank God for everything. And we were killing ourselves with worry.
-mummy, wonders shall never end. Do you know it is favour spreading all these rumours ?
-which favour? Your prayer partner?
-yes o. Hmmm, you know i shared it with her so we could pray together. This girl now……infact eheee, i am just…….i don’t even know what to say. Mummy, i must confront her.
-my dear abeg leave that girl. You think she has peace wherever she is? God will disgrace her. Don’t mind her. If you see her now eheee, greet her very well. Don’t frown, don’t keep a hate face. Show her all she said didn’t get to you. That’s how to win that kind of devil.
-hmmm, ok mum.
Daddy G.O could not sleep. He prayed and prayed asking God to reveal the truth to him. So on Sunday he came to city of God parish.
-praise the Lord. children of God, the best way to kill gossip is open confrontation. And that’s why I’m here. Sister favour, the one that visited my office, are you here? If you are please come forward.
Sister favour matched forward to the altar.
-good. Sister Tonia, please come forward.
Sister tonia came forward.
-Favour, please can you boldly, before tonia repeat what you said about her in my office?
Favour started fudgeting
-sister favour, I’m waiting. Can you say it all before her?
(favour bowed her head in shame)
-meaning that all you said are lies? Even after saying you can’t lie in the house of God? Brethren can you see? How agents of darkness cause unnecessary confusion in the house of God? I’m highly annoyed. How can somebody fabricate such lies and be telling it to everyone just to cause problem. Favour henceforth, please i don’t want to see you anywhere around Glorious invasion church. This is evil and evil is not allowed here. Let this serve as a lesson to everyone. This is a church. Do not come here and start working for the devil. Favour leave this premises now!!!!!!!
Sister favour started crying and pleading accusing the devil.
Wedding date has been fixed. Preparations are going on. Tonia went to school on Wednesday and did not come back. Her wedding is on Saturday. TONIA IS MISSING.
