My reverend's son 39

CHAPTER 39
“THE REVEREND’S SON” 
©Opeyemi Akintunde
As inspired by the LIVING WORD

My father asked us to go by road and I wore the dark shades and face cap mom bought for me. One of the Church drivers was waiting for us already at Idiroko. Our first point of call was the deceased's family house. On getting there, my father went in and he was told they had not been home for days. 

From there, we went straight to the church studio and did a Live video on the church YouTube Channel...

"It is with great displeasure that I step aside from being the General overseer of our ministry, I have brought the name of God to disrepute as a result of my inability to raise my son right. Also my family have lied to the public. Out of love for our Son, After he committed the crime, we helped him cover up by sending him to Benin Republic and lying against the family of the deceased. We made the public believe one of the deceased's family killed him.

As true Christians, We have realized our wrong and we have decided to submit ourselves to the authority. We accept whatever punishment the Law system in Nigeria deems fit.
The Ministry would be headed by my Son in-law Pastor Usman Dauda who has shown himself fit to do that.
Please kindly exempt my wife's name and my daughter's names from this scandal. My wife is presently hospitalized for a spinal cord injury, so please your comments should  be soft towards her.” 

*****
Gbadebo had called my brother's attention to the live broadcast and my brother and I had watched in silence. My brother rained tears ...

"I can't serve my revenge anymore!" he said in regret

"There is no need for that anymore. God has vindicated us. There is no revenge as powerful as Forgiveness." I said to my brother and he nodded  “Also a wise friend once said something strong to me…” I continued

My Brother looked at me..

"He said, the best revenge is to be unlike the person who caused the injury” 

"Hmm...Did you say He?" My brother diverted from the topic at hand...

"Yes..Him, His name is Timothy, I met him in Cotonou and he changed my perspectives about a whole lot...

"In two days?" He asked inquisitively

"Yes!"

"In two days?" He repeated  "What are the other things he taught you in two days?" He said

I knew where he was driving at...

"Brother, he didn't teach me what you are thinking, he is a pastor." 

"Ha! Pastor! Reverend Bada is a Pastor" he said to me

"I believe he won't turn out like Reverend, besides Reverend has asked for Mercy and confessed his sins. That's the beautiful thing about Christianity, God would always want you to stand up and accept your blame, he doesn't like people shifting blames like Adam and Eve did. 

Bible says 'If my peeple who are called by my Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. So brother, I would rather give my heart to an imperfect Pastor or Christian than a total unbeliever, because an unbeliever owes God no explanation. If this had happened with an unbeliever, I can assure you there won't be a restitution." I said giving my brother a very necessary lecture.

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...
