Stepping into Maggie's shoes 25

PART 25 S.I.M.S (STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’SSHOE) ©️OpeyemiOjerindeAkintunde Big Daddy had slapped Big Mummy in my presence, and all Big Mummy did was to walk away. She went into her room and locked herselfup. BigMummywasmymum’seldersister,Ihadgonetospendtheholidayatherhouse, when I was 8 years old. She didn’t have kids of her own at that time, so she always wanted me at her place during theholidays. When Big Daddy slapped her, I expected her to return the slap or fight him, but Big Mummy didn’t do either. I later asked her somequestions... “Big Mummy, why did Big Daddy slapyou?” “We had a fight just like you have fights with your friends in school.” “Then why didn’t you slap himback?” “Well,fightinmarriageisverydifferentfromeveryotherkindoffight,fightinmarriage has to do with a lot of emotions and when not managed it can be disastrous even to thepointofdeath...IfIhadslappedBigDaddyback,itwouldhavefue...

PART 24 S.I.M.S (STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’SSHOE) ©️OpeyemiOjerindeAkintunde For a week, I didn’t see any of the women and neither did he eat my food. I wasn’t bothered about the food, because at least I had achieved the part of the women not coming over. He kept malice with me for that week, whenever I greeted he gave me silence for ananswer. When I saw Mrs. Beecroft in church on Sunday, she didn’t pretend to be happy with me as she eyed me anytime our eyes madecontact. “Shameless woman!” I thought to myself as simultaneously I saw Gabriel walking towardsmeontheAltar.IquicklymovedawayfromthepersonIwasspeakingtoand madewaytomyoffice.Icouldperceivehewasfollowingme.AsIgottointomyoffice withthehopeofshuttingthedoorbehindmeinarush,heputhisleginthedoorway… “What do you want?’ Iasked. “Youstartedthiswholethingmakingmecrazyaboutyou,andsuddenlyyouthinkyou are just going to discard me likethat!” “I was trying ...

It will be bad if I don't tell you this because we've been close for a while now. I haven't told you because, it started months ago and I wanted to be sure of myself and everything around me before I let you know"She paused and looked at him. Ifeanyi urged her to go on. "Take"She stretched her hand towards him giving him an envelope. "What is that?"He asked curiously as he collected it. "it's an invitation to my wedding.."She said Ifeanyi looked at her in amazement and quickly brought out the I.V "Lydia WEDS Nonso" stared at him. He hugged her passionately "My God!

PART 23 S.I.M.S (STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’SSHOE) ©️OpeyemiOjerindeAkintunde Gabriel was stroking my hair and I was enjoying every bit of it, but at the same time the voice in my head was loud repeatedlysaying “Do you loveme?” “Yes Lord, you know I do!” I replied in myheart... “I am not a wicked guy who just wants to snatch you away from your husband, but I feel this is what you should do, your husband is an adulterer and the BIBLE permits divorce based onthat...” Igentlyremovedmyheadfromhisshoulderinshockastohowheknewmyhusband was committing adultery. I also tried to feignignorance. “He is not!” I said indefense. “Happy, you know he is, you think I don’t know he sleeps with my mother at your house? Happy, how do you cope staying in that house knowing that your husband is sleeping with another marriedwoman...” “It’s my cross I have tobear.” “No, you are not Jesus. You should...

PART 38 S.I.M.S (STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’S SHOE) © Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde Baba Fire refused seeing us, even after staying a week in Ikeji-Arakeji. Different people had gone to speak to Baba Fire on our behalf, but he would not set his eyes on Raymond. Raymond’s mother had found her way to see him on one of the counselling days, but he respectfully told her to please leave his office. Baba Fire had been deeply hurt. I heard he was always around Saturday morning for marriage counselling, so I decided I was going to go see him. I prayed before leaving and I asked for the Wisdom of God… When it was my turn, he didn’t recognize me. He asked me what my challenge was. I told him about my marriage… “I got married over a year ago, and my husband has only touched me once, it hurts knowing that my husband satisfies his sexual urge with married women under our roof. Sir, do you know how hurting it is, when someone who ought to give you joy brings you...

PART 37 S.I.M.S ( STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’S SHOE) © Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde Ray kept to himself for two days, as the thought of losing everything he had was too much for him to bear. He told me he was going to ask for the Mercy of God and permissive will of God, to let him Continue with his ministry. I tried talking him out of this, telling him it was better to obey the will of God 100 percent. I was not planning to be like Pastor Maggie who acted as a Jezebel of a wife, who made her husband sin against God. For those two days he locked himself indoors, I was fasting, asking God for a second chance for him. I cried unto the Lord telling him, I know I got into this shoe of marriage thinking it was going to be glamorous, but on getting in, it felt like stepping on broken glass. I told God I was going to stay in the marriage, but I needed him to help me work on Ray, so that I could still make something meaningful out of the oversized shoes… On the third Day, Ray cam...

PART 36 S.I.M.S ( STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’S SHOE) © Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde After my set had left Ikeji-Arakeji, I stayed behind for another 5 years working passionately for God under Baba Fire. In no time, Baba Fire’s church had grew from 130 members to close to 2000 members. We were able to build a small cathedral of about 2500 members. We had started having Elites in our church, even to the point of having the First Lady (Governor’s Wife) as a member of our church. All these were possible because of the level of exposure I brought into the ministry. Baba Fire started having international ministrations which I had to follow him to, because I had to interpret in English Language… He was getting blessed with cars, houses, money and a lot of gifts. At this point, the Spirit of Greed took over me. I felt I was the one pulling the crowd to his church and should be in charge of all that he was in charge of. I felt He was using my glory, and I decided it...

PART 35 S.I.M.S (STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’S SHOE) ©️Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde “My Landlord in Ikeji-Arakeji was a pastor popularly referred to as “Baba Fire” because he was a Fire brand General overseer of a growing church. He was genuinely called of God. Despite being a Yoruba speaking church, Youth corps members like me, attended “Baba Fire’s” Church, because of his depth in the Word of God and Healing Anointing. He was a man in his late forties. Baba Fire picked interest in me and would ask me to come for prayers anytime he was at home. He told me he saw a light in me that would draw nations to the light of God. Through his persistence, I became genuinely born again. I also caught the fire. I got baptized in the Holy Ghost. He taught me how to pray for long hours... In no time, I was on fire for God. Some Yoruba non speaking Corp members walked up to me and pleaded with me to stand in as Baba Fire’s interpreter. They want...

PART 34 S.I.M.S ( STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’S SHOE) ©️Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde I had woken up from a deep revelation, after my prayer time with Ray. He had slept off on my bed for the first time since we got married. The triplets were asleep on their baby mattresses, beside us. I sat up to analyze the dream I had. In my dream, I had seen myself searching for Ray all over the house, but couldn’t find him. I walked into the living room and found the triplets watching cartoon with Apostle’s Mother. In the revelation, Martha, the second of the set spoke and asked me... “Mummy, are you looking for Daddy?” She asked “Yes, have you seen him?” I asked “Yes!” The trio replied giggling “So where is he?” “He is in the belly of the fish like Jonah” they said pointing to the Bible Animation they were watching on the screen. It was the cartoon version of Jonah in the belly of the shark... “What?...

Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde On Sunday after service, I walked up to Christabel’s Mum.... “Good afternoon ma” I said smiling. “Pastor Happy, good afternoon. To what do I owe this special greeting?” “I am sorry ma if I am disturbing, I just need sister Christabel’s number” I said. “Why? My daughter is fine, you don’t need to call her” she said defiantly. “Mum, I just have a little information for her, please ma...” I pleaded for about 10 minutes before she finally agreed to give me.I went to my office and locked myself in.I dialed the number given to me and in just about 3 rings, she picked up... “Hello, happy Sunday, who is speaking?” Christabel said with a very beautiful voice. “Hi... Hi...” I suddenly lost my boldness, but I knew it was then or never... “Hello… Hello” she said. “Hi, Christabel, this is Sister Happy from Nigeria, Apostle Ray’s new...

PART 33 S.I.M.S ( STEPPING INTO MAGGIE’S SHOE) ©️Opeyemi Ojerinde Akintunde “Strange? What do you mean?” I asked Apostle after he dropped the call. “I don’t know, but I hope she is not talking about Christabel’s case.” “Well, let me go with you, it’s my matter, let me face it.” “The triplets?” “I will take them with us, but drop them off at Kike’s place.” Kike my friend was living close to the church. We went to the church after dropping the triplets off and just as we had been informed, Chaba was around but she was looking lost like she was trying hard to remember something… “Apostle” she ran towards him. “Chaba, what is wrong? What are you doing here? You didn’t inform us you were coming!” Apostle said. “Apostle, I knew I left South Africa to come to Nigeria for a purpose, like I have something I came here to do, but the moment I g...

My own Kamsi, Uto'm can never leave me for another Man!"Ifeanyi exclaimed "ogbarasam(is it my business?)"Vero hissed and went out to the market. Ifeanyi was disturbed. He paced around the compound in confusion. He couldn't believe it, he didn't even want to believe it. After all their sufferings together? After all the promises? Their business together? All their plans? He was going mad with thoughts. He quickly dashed out of the compound and ran straight to Kamsi's house. As he approached there, he met Kamsi and Felix with their backs against Felix's car, gisting and laughing. He couldn't believe his eyes. He moved closer and they were so engrossed in the conversation that they didn't even notice his presence. "Kamsi!!"He screame...

THE RICH MAN’S WIFE EPISODE 8 Susan won’t stop lamenting to her father, how Femi couldn’t manage his business well and how he lost almost every thing they laboured for. Her father listened speechlessly, the old man could sense that his daughter still cared for Femi, even though she acts like she doesn’t want to have anything to do with him. “Susan my child why do you care so much that Femi lost almost everything? Why did you get some of the properties back? I thought you don’t care?” Susan’s Father threw in and Susan went mute for a while and then she responded “Dad, Femi is still the Father of my children and I know how we toiled to achieve all these properties, why would he be so irresponsible” “My child is that really the reason? Because I can see love in your eyes, you still love him, why not work things out with him, your children needs their father, for the past five years you have separated Augusta and Max f...
