"ONCE UPON A TIME"

Ⓢ□OpeyemiAkintunde
It was a deliverance session no one was expecting. Redemption had takenthemto herbedroom.

“Iwantyoutosaythis…OhLord,Irenouncemymembershipofthewitchcraft group and today I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and PersonalSaviour.”

It was like a tsunami had hit Carol as she fell to the floor vibrating all over.The Sight was very scary to Redemption; she wondered if that was whathappened to her when she died. Carol looked like she was going to die; shekeptholding her necklike she was choking.

“ThatshouldbethequeenMotherchokingher”Redemptionsaidinfear

“The queen mother cannot come to where I am. Here, I am in charge.Somethingelseishappeningtoher.Youwillseewhatitissoonest…”EvangelistTobisaid.

Silashadneverseenanythingclosetowhathewasseeing.

Suddenly,Carolstartedcoughing.Shelookedlikeshewantedtogetsomething out of her throat. She successfully pushed out a black ring out ofher throat. The ring was familiar to Redemption; it was the ring all initiatesswalloweduponinitiation.Itwasacovenantring.

“That‟sourcovenantringinthecoven,Ihaven‟tvomitedmyown.” Redemptionsaidveryalarmed.

“That‟swhyyouneedtoundergoadeliveranceprogram” “Youcandoitforme!”
“Yes, but I am not led to do so for you, it appears God wants another man ofGodtohandle yourcase. IbelieveitistheMan ofGodyoumentioned.”

“Butheisfaraway inanunknownplaceabouttobekilled.”

“That‟swhyitisgoodtoprayforone‟shelper.IntheScriptures,therewas a Man of God named Paul, He had the desire to go minister to some of hisconverts again, but one thing or the other prevented him from reachingthem.Hehadtotellthemtoprayforhimthatthepreventionbetakenaway.Soinessence,yourdeliveranceisinthehandsofthatPastor.Idon‟t knowwhy,butI amaservantofGodwholetsGodhave hisway.”

“IfIunderstandyouperfectly,IneedtohelpthePastorsoHecanhelpme?‟ “Yes!”
“SohowdoIdothat?”

“For starters, you have to start praying for him. In the Process, the Lord willdirectus onthe moveswe shouldmake.”

“Doesn‟tChristianitygiveitspeopletheabilitytosee.InWitchcraft,Ican seewheremy prey is.“
“Sure, in Christianity, we have the gift of the Open eyes, but you have togrow in the Lord before you can get them. Unlike Witchcraft, the Open eyesoftheLordseesdeeplyintoeverywhere.InWitchcraft,youcan‟tseeHeaven,youcanonlyseeyourpreysandsomepartofthedemonickingdom, but as a Christian with the gift of the Open eyes, you can see intotheheavenlies andyoucanalsoseeinto the demonickingdoms.
The Open Eyes that comes from God is a gift Christians desire. It is notcheap, you have togrowinto it.”

“Hmm… I thought Witchcraft had principles, I didn‟t know Christianity hadprinciples too.”

“Get out of here? Despite everything I have done, I think this is my NemesisCatchingupwithme.Pastor,peopledon‟tescapeNemesis.Nemesisalwayscatches up.”

“IfyouwalkwithGod,Nemesiscan‟tcatchupwithyou,BecauseGod doesn‟twalkslow.HewalksfastandNemesiscannevercatchupwith anyonewhowalkswith Him.” Pastor GregSaid

“How do I walk with Him?” Rogers asked. He remembered the Story of thePreacher beside his Office. It was Possible God could make a good story outofhimtoo.

“By believing in Him and giving your Life to Him through His Son JesusChrist”. Pastor Greg said. He removed the aspect of Studying the Word ofGod, because that could not happen while they were still in the village. HisBiblewas in the caroftheirKidnapper.

There wasaknockattheirdoor,

“Yesplease!”Abeautifulfairskinnedladycamein..

“Abena talk make me bring to you as you fit need it” She dropped a bigearthenpotwith someleaves.

Pastor Greg checked the pot, it was hot water. He guessed she gave themthattocleanRogers‟Body.

“WhoisAbena?”Rogersasked

“I told you God will take us out of here, Abena is your Friend‟s wife. I justled she and your friend to Christ. The wife had always wanted out of here.Shewasthe onewho madeher husbandstop thebeating…”

“Hehasa wife?”
“Yeswiththreedaughters”
Rogers thought about the mystery of the One who was in charge of theuniverse. He thought about how he who had sent Kamal out of the city wasinthecitychildlesswithnowifedespitehavingallthemoneyheneededand more, while Kamal who was living in obscurity but yet he was blessedwithawife andthree daughters…

“You can‟t leave me here, What if the Queen Mother comes back for me?”FearhadcreptintoRedemption‟sheart,especiallywhensherealizedshe stillhadthe property ofthe witches stillinher.

“Do not be afraid Sister Redemption. I will call you from home and we willpray together. I can‟t take you to my wife, my wife just gave birth and shewould need all the space in the house, and also we have a rule not to bringconverts to the house. We had a case of a fake convert who we brought tothehouseandhestolealotofthings fromthehousebeforeabsconding.”

“Iunderstand,HopeIwon‟tdiebeforedaybreak”

“You can‟t die, God brought you back to life because He had a purpose foryou, so do you think he will allow you to be killed before fulfilling thatpurpose?” He taps Redemption‟s hand in assurance. Silas also gave her acomfortingsmile.“I willbeback tomorrow”

“Willhebeback?” Redemptionaskedherself.

“God, he said I am to pray for the Pastor. Please God, let the Pastor find away out of that place. God bring out my helper from every evil prison, sothathe canlocate me andhelpme.”

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...
