I AM A VIRGIN

Episode 5

I left for work that Monday morning feeling optimistic only for me to get to my office and meet an envelope lying on my table. I tore it open and discovered that it was a termination letter.

I ran to my boss office to ask him what my offence was then he said since I have chosen to repay the Pastor and his family with disgrace then there was possibility that I would bring disgrace to the company. He warned me to leave before he ask the security to throw me out.

With depression written all over me, I took my bag and walk out of the company dejectedly. My Secretary who was moved embraced me and told me to be strong.

On my way to my apartment, I bought a strong rope and went home with the plan to commit suicide as I was fed up of everything. Getting home, I tied the rope to the ceiling and was about to hang it around my neck when a call came into my phone.

I stopped what I was about doing and went ahead to answer the call. It happen to be one of the sisters in the ushering department who I don't relate with.

Sis Clara: Sis Funbi, please don't do that which you are about to do. Please, God hasn't forgotten you, there is a reason for everything you are going through now. Please, don't take your life, your miracle is around the corner.

Her words made me weep uncontrollably, I was sppechless. She requested for my address which I gave to her without wasting time. After about a hour, she got to my house.

Instead of castigating me, she embraced me and prayed for me from the depth of her heart. She wiped my tears and told me that the Holy Spirit sent her to me. I opened up to her and she encouraged me and gave me Bible scriptures to read.

When she got to know that I had no money to use for feeding, she gave me some amount of money. Before she left me, she encouraged me to submit my credentials in order organizations.

Her words and coming really uplifted me, I ask God for forgiveness for thinking of committing suicide and decided to begin life afresh. Two days later, I made photocopies of my credentials and submitted it to different organizations and even schools.

While waiting for an employment offer, I spent most of my time reading the Bible and praying. One day, I came across a verse that said 'For your shame, I will give you double'. I claimed that promise of God and prayed for the manifestation.

.....................................................................

Caleb: No Lord, I can't do this. What do you want people to say?

Holy Spirit: is it people's words that matters or mine?

Caleb: Your word Lord but this is a lady that has defiled herself and every one in the church is aware. Lord, this is shame. It's not as if I am asking for a virgin because I am not a virgin but the news is all over the church

Holy Spirit: if you don't want to be caught in the web of a wrong marriage then be ready to go with my choice but you can still go with your choice but be ready to bear whatever consequence that comes with it.

Evil 1

Evil 1 ……………………………….. Ruth walked along the pedestrian way with bags hanging from her hands. She dragged her tired feet with her mind focused on reaching her destination; her home. She’d gone out as usual to sample some textile materials to people and hoped they would buy. That was her business and the family depended majorly on the income from it. Her husband, Tunde, had become almost dependent since after losing his job in a bottling company some years back. Since then, he had refused fo seek for a permanent employment and only engaged in ‘adhoc’ employments which came once in a while. Sadly, she made no sales that day after trekking around the town under the scorching sun. As she walked carrying her bags of textile materials and hoping to get home before her tired legs would give way, a mad man walked briskly past her. It was not a thing to worry about as mad people were common sights around the town. But after taking a few steps forward, the mad man ran back and tapped her on the s...

Hello!!” I said into the receiver as I couldn’t hear anything from the other end but she had picked the call. I had to put my phone on speaker to support the normal speaker and that was when I heard it. “What’s wrong, Anita? Are you crying?” “He wants to kell me.” “Who? Who wants to kell you?” I asked sitting up on my bed. “My boyfriend. . . He. . He wants to kill me.” “Where are you?” “I’m inside and I have locked the door.

My mother married my husband 6

My mother married my husband Episode 6 I didn't have anywhere to sleep, I couldn't go back to the village. People will begin to ask questions, I sold all the jewelry Femi bought for me since we got married. I used the money to rent a small apartment, got a bed, and other little things I needed.  The compound wasn't much but I had to manage knowing it's my starting point in life. I never got rid of my son's clothes, I made sure they where still safe in his boxes. Sometimes I sleep on them, imaging he was there with me.  I got back to the hospital for my son's body, I wept so much when I saw jimmy cold and stiff in a white dress. I took to the general cemetery and buried him, my tears that day knew no bounds.  I felt like dying with Jimmy, I felt like all hope was lost. I sat close to his grave singing his favourite gospel song, telling him how much I miss him and love him.  "Jimmy I promise you on this day January 3rd 2015, I will never forget you, I will ne...
