Evangelist Tobi was fascinated by what he was listening to, and it would begreattotraveltohelpthepeople,buthecouldn‟tvalidatethestory.Healsoneeded to ask the Lord if he was to continue with the young girl. All hewanted to do was hand her over to a church, but from the look of things,there was no church she was interested in. As it was, he was not a Pastor, sohewasnotready toshoulder the responsibility.

“Give me time to pray about it,but in the meantime let‟s take you home to your parents,they would be worried about you.”

“You are right; my aged parents will be worried as to where I went, veryearly in the day. They know I am not a daytime person. I only go out atnight.That‟swhy the Witches gave me the nickname:Owl.”

“Well,we thank God, your real name Redemption came through for you,
God redeemed you from sin and death.” Evangelist Tobi said“Sowhichwaytoyourhouse?”
“Thatway!”

“Getup; go check them at the station!” Kennedy heard the instruction clearly.
No!Thiscouldn‟t be the voice of God.“Get up now!”
The voice was more urgent, but Kennedy turned deaf ears.“If it is your voice Lord,confirm it again..”
Kennedy said as he continued praying.

Redemption was surprised to see her Aunt in front of her house, with her mother wailing.

There were quite alot of people there consoling Redemption‟s aged mother.“See Redemption!”one of the teenagers in the compound said
Everyone turned towards the gate, the reaction was epic.Her aged parents ran towards her in Joy, while her aunt stood very shocked.
“Redemption, Thank you… Thank you for not killing yourself”
Redemption‟sMother said checking Redemption‟sbody

“Were you the ones who rescued her? Thank you Sir… You are Pastors?”Redemption‟s father went on and on as he kept shaking Evangelist Tobi‟s Hands

“Mummy, what are you saying? I didn‟t go to kill myself; I just went out tosearchfor God!”

Redemption‟s Mum looked towards her sister…

“But your Aunty said you told her yesterday you were planning to kill yourself. She said she tried talking to you to pity us your aged parents, so you told her, you would far away and end your life”Redemption‟smother said

Redemption couldn‟t help but laugh…

“Aunty Carol, you said that to them? I can‟t remember us having thatconversation”

Redemption knew what would have happened. The Queen mother wouldhave informed her aunt about terminating her, and her Aunt came to seeherdead body.

“Redemption come here!”Carol said
Redemption excused herself from her mother and went straight to her Aunt.
Evangelist Tobi and Silas stood observing what was happening.“Howdidyouescape death?”Carolasked
“God saved me, Queen Mother killed me but God gave me life, so I cancorrectallmy wrongs”

“Redemption,I want out too,Tell me how you did it”

“Evangelist!”Redemption held her Aunt‟s hand and took her towards the Evangelist.

“Sir, this is my Aunty that initiated me into witchcraft, she is surprised that I am still alive, So she wants Jesus too.”

“Ok ma!, You have to deny your membership of the group and surrenderyourlife toChrist.”

“I am Ready… Witchcraft has done nothing for me, instead I do things I later regret.”

“Can we go somewhere Private?” Evangelist Tobi asked…Tobecontinued

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...

COMING TO LAGOS      CONTINUATION. . . Coming To Lagos. . . Ep 12 Anita. I haven’t called her yet since the dream I had. I decided to try her number. “Hello! 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. I heard him stepping out and once he returns, he’ll kill me.” “No matter what us happening, you can’t sleep there tonight. Have you called anyone whom you can stay with?” “I just called two of my friends but the said they’re not around. I’m dead.” She begins to weep again. I couldn’t help but wonder what must have happened but he’s just her boyfriend, why would he hit her? After few minutes of si...

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...
