Episode 18
The whole church was eager to know what happened to Tonia. Very early the next morning, Tonia’s house was filled with people. Pastor Ebuka was first to arrive. Tonia was still sleeping. He only needed to see her to be sure she is back, indeed she is back. He waited patiently till she woke up, freshened up and came out to the sitting room.
Everyone shouted when they saw her. Songs were rendered unto the Lord then Tonia started her testimony.
-praise the Lord!!!!! My brethren, i want to first if all say a very big thank you to this Great God. Who showed me undeserved kindness and saved me from the fiery darts of the enemy, who did not allow my enemies to rejoice over me. May his name be praised. I want to thank you all for your prayers, my daddy G.O, and special thanks goes to MY TREASURE here who stood in the gap all the while for me.
God bless you all. We closed from school at about 4pm, my friends and me were coming home so i saw sister Juliet. She walked to me, i was so excited to see her. She offered to give us a lift, my friend Eno dragged me aside and told me not to, that her spirit doesn’t accept Juliet. I told her it was fine, she is our church member. We entered Juliet’s car, Eno was to stop along the way, she lives off campus, very close to the school. After few minutes we saw a police check point. The police flagged Juliet down and started harrassing us. They told us to come down and asked us to get into their vehicle. I refused. I was like, for what ? What was our offence? One of the policemen now said i am the suspect, he collected Eno’s phone, Juliet’s phone and other girls phones and asked them to leave. He insisted i joined the van. I struggled, all to no avail. The next thing was handkerchief over my nose and that’s all i could remember till i opened my eyes and found out i was tied to an iron chair. When i opened my eyes, all i,saw were masked people standing and looking at me. Then two men walked in.
-fool, he said as he slapped me. You want to marry PASTOR EBUKA, you won’t. So long as we live, you won’t marry him. Then i replied them, “THEN PREPARE TO DIE BECAUSE WHAT GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, NO MAN CAN PUT ASUNDER. EBUKA IS GOING TO BE MY HUSBAND. EVEN THE DEVIL CAN’T STOP IT” he slapped me again saying he didn’t ask me to talk. He said my freedom lies in EBUKA’S hands, if he does what he is asked to do, i will be free, if not, i should consider myself dead. I replied, “I SHALL NOT DIE, I WILL LIVE AND DECLARE THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING”. FOR THE LORD WILL FEED YOU WITH YOUR FLESH AND YOU SHALL DRINK YOUR OWN BLOOD AS SWEET WINE”. The man slapped me again and asked me to shut up. All of a sudden the people standing, wearing mask were no longer seen. I was wondering who they were. I started praying. They sealed my mouth. I was praying in my spirit. After few hours, the two guys came back. The placed objects placed before me were knife, gun and a liquid substance boldly written poison, and the other, acid. because pastor Ebuka refused to comply, i have just ten seconds to choose one or they choose for me by themselves. The people on mask came around again, this time they spoke. That was how i got to know they were actually ladies. They were shouting “choose one. If we can’t have him, nobody can,,choose one and die in peace”. I could not hold back my tears. One of the ladies took the acid. She said she won’t allow me die in peace, she will make me live in pain and suffer rejection because no matter how spiritual Pastor Ebuka is,he will never marry a deformed woman. Brethren i lost hope. I felt it was all over. I closed my eyes to receive the Acid bath when we heard “YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD NOW ” The person walked into the place, it was a soldier. “If you move, i scatter your brain ” they dropped their weapons. The other soldiers joined him. The unmasked the ladies, my brethren, when i saw their faces, i fainted. They were sister juliet, sister Ruth, sister jane and my prayer partner, the one daddy G.O dismissed from church. I couldn’t believe it. In the house of God? One of the soldiers brought me home. He told me a man came to them and told them he saw policemen carry a lady into an uncompleted building. The lady has been shouting. The man actually sleeps in that uncompelted building. That was how i came home.
Pastor Ebuka fell to the ground with tears in his eyes and started worshipping this great God. Miracle working God. The defender of the defenceless, rescuer of the hopeless, life saver, life giver, he continued to worship the Lord, the whole brethren with him.
After everyone left, pastor Ebuka pleaded with Tonia not to step out of the house again until the wedding. Infact, Daddy G.O’s personal driver came to pick her, she will be coming from there to the church. Mummy G.O was so excited to receive her. That Friday night, mummy G.O called her….
-Tonia dear, she smiled,congratulations once again. Newest bride in town.
-(she smiled ) thank you mummy.
-daughter, i am doing exactly the same thing my own mother in the Lord did on my wedding eve. Same thing i have done for every sister especially the ones marrying ministers of God. To be frank, it is not easy being the wife of a minister of God, especially those who have refused to compromise their faith in Christ Jesus. I can proudly say to you my dear daughter that your husband to be, pastor Ebuka, is one of them. Listen to every word i am about to say to you. Write them on the table of your heart, let it sink deeply. If you can abide by them, my dear daughter you will laugh.
1, from tomorrow he is no longer pastor Ebuka to you o. Find one sweet name you will call him. He is now your husband. Allow him touch you. From the way i see Ebuka, he doesn’t know how to pretend. Forget spirituality, he is a man o. He has blood flowing through his veins. Yessss, you know church people like to pretend . Be sweet to behold. Look fresh. I hope you have sweet looking things you will wear at home for him. Your armpits, you have to shave, look neat. Wear Anti-perspirants each time you are done with bathing.
2, Respect his spiritual decisions. He might be on a fast and decide not to eat all the delicious you prepared, accept in good faith. Help him through it. It is for your own Good. He might wish to have quiet time with God, allow him, help him achieve it.
3, follow his lead. Don’t look at other wives of pastors. Look unto Jesus and follow your husband. Join your faith with his. Be physically involved and spiritually relevant. Don’t relax and allow pray alone. Bible says, one will chase 10000 but 2, 20,000. Never seize to speak out if you see him derailing. Not shouting at him like a small boy o, he will even derail more. Correct him with love and the one your mouth cannot, your knee can.
4, if he is not fasting, and not on any spiritual exercise,please my dear daughter give him good food. Yes o. They eat once in a while. Like my own husband he will say, this week, I’m eating just one in a day and very light, i will be doing more of fruits. Don’t you see how fitted he is looking? People sometimes say he doesn’t look like G.o atall because he has no protruding tummy. (Laughter) yes ooo.
5- learn to forgive easily. Men of God are human beings too o. They can be annoying. They are not perfect. So learn to forgive easily. Pray for your husband. Be an example. Soon they will start mummying you too. Be careful. Some are coming close to use you to destroy your husband. Yessss, they will be coming with gifts, expensive clothes, seed of faith, some are for evil purpose. Test every spirit. Be careful what you discuss. Stand on the truth, nothing but the truth.
The rest, you will learn by yourself. May God bless your union.
-Ameeeen. Argh. Thanks so much mummy.i have really learnt alot.
