CHAPTER 36
“THE REVEREND’S SON” 
©Opeyemi Akintunde
As inspired by the LIVING WORD

I was with Olamide when Mrs Opeyemi called me on video call. At first, I was hesitant about picking up the call, but I picked up and I was shocked to see Ademide with her.

"Ademide ...' I exclaimed

Olamide and Mojirade heard me..Mojirade rushed to me and saw Ademide truly.

Olamide wanted to see his face. I showed her his face...

"I met this young man and I want to confirm if he is your son?"

"Yes, he is!" I said with a strong lump in my throat

"He is with me here, I was invited for a ministration here and by God's divine arrangement, we met. He is a new man. Would you like to speak with him?" She asked

"Yes ma!" 

Ademide collected the phone and at first all he did was sob. After he found his voice, he said..

"I am sorry for being a curse to God in your lives and I am sorry for being a curse to you. Forgive me."

 I cried as a father. "Ademide, I was the one who failed you as a father..." I said

"Tell him, I failed him as a mother. Tell him I am sorry..." Olamide said in the background.

"Is that Mummy?" Ademide asked

"Yes, but she is a bit under the weather.” I couldn't break the devastating news of the spinal cord injury to him

"Ok, let me see her face" I turned the camera to Olamide.

"Ademide, I failed you. Forgive me. Find God. I am sure His Mercy will sort you out.

"Where do you stay?" I asked him

"I have no home, I stay with some boys on the street"

Tears dropped from my eyes. Ademide had a big room at home with his private toilet and bathroom.  There was a tiny living room attached to his room as well, but he was sleeping on the street in a foreign land. 

"Do you have a personal number?" I asked

"No! I used my friend's number. I sold my phone to eat." 

"Ok, give the phone to Mrs Opeyemi."

"Please ma, can you keep him with you till tomorrow morning I will be there first thing in the morning."  I said to her.

I heard Ademide saying sorry to someone in the background.

"Who did he offend?" I asked

"No one, he is just showing his sympathy to a young lady here." 

"Ok ma!"

"About your request, I will do just that, but I will be leaving by five pm tomorrow." 

"Thank you Ma"

I ended the call...I rushed towards Olamide...

"God is good!" I said to my wife

"Yes He is!" Olamide agreed…

I could see the tears in her eyes as well. We both knew there was something very important but yet difficult that we would have to do if we wanted to please God.

"Are you planning to bring him back to Nigeria? We will lose everything, integrity, church, and even people's faith will be tampered with" Mojirade shared her concern.

"Mojirade, who are we without God, we are only but a breath. If God takes this one breath from us, we would be nothing. What then is integrity when there is no breath.  Whoever kills by a sword will die by a sword, Ademide would still meet his death one way or the other no matter how much we hide him in different countries, why don't we bring him back home to face the music, but he will face this music with adequate preparation" I said

"Adequate preparation?"  Mojirade asked

“Yes, I need to prepare him for his death. I need to prepare him for eternity.” 

The room fell silent….However, I needed to pay someone a visit.

CHAPTER 22 "UNHEALED" © Opeyemi Akintunde   As Inspired by the Living WORD Harmony and Liam cruised through the quiet streets. Harmony slowed down, scanning the area. “Bros Harmony, this surprise birthday for Men only? ” Liam asked for the umpteenth time. Harmony grinned, keeping his eyes ahead. “Liam, I already told you. A friend is throwing me a birthday celebration. They insisted on doing something special.” " Special Friends! You don join cult?" Harmony chuckled. “Special friends, man. I was surprised too, but now that we’re here, let’s just stop by. It’ll be quick.” Liam checked the time on his phone. “It’s late, Harmony. Almost 8:30 p.m.” “I promise, we won’t stay long,” Harmony said, parking the car and stepping out. Reluctantly, Liam followed his brother inside the hall. As they entered, the vibrant atmosphere greeted them...laughter, music, and the low buzz of conversations. In the crowd, they spotted Tomike. Tomike’s face lit up when she saw Harmony. She r...

PART 19 " TIMISIRE: THE GOLDEN GIRL" ©️Opeyemi Akintunde He saw it! He saw the Queen's daughter walking into a bright light. He recognized her from the picture the Queen had been  haunting him with. He had not seen a woman so passionate about a child like the Queen. For the past six months she had joined their church, she never missed a service and the picture of the missing girl was always in her Bible.  " God, what is the Light she walked into?" He asked. "I hope she has not crossed to the otherside?"  He didn't get any answer. ******* " Queen, what have you done?" The Prophet asked Aduke " Done? I don't understand?" " I had a strange dream and knowing how passionate you are about her, I am wondering how far you have gone?" " Prophet, please don't speak to me in Parables, please speak to me in plain words. What was the dream about?" Aduke asked " I saw her walking into a bright light!" The...

THE BLUE RIVER (Destiny Calls) Episode 5 : :Written by #Bright_Daniel : Mr Rain stared at Ena suspiciously because the look on her face seemed more like she knew someone who already knows about the blue river, so he said with a very dangerous voice, “Ena? Have you told anybody about what you just told me or do you know anybody that already knows about the river?” “No, sir” Ena shook her head negatively. “Not at all, sir” “Good” Mr Rain picked his phone in her presence, placed it on his ear and said, “Get my chopper (helicopter) ready. We are leaving now” he dropped the call then looked at Ena again. “Remind me the location of the river again” “In the forest of Ezai, sixty degree North” Ena replied. “Good” he stepped out of the office followed by Ena whose heart began to beat for an innocent girl Sarah coz her boss can go extra mile to get or know whosoever he wonna know. *** At th...
