SISTER ADURAGBEMI
PART 7
By Ojo Rhoda Ayanfeoluwa.
“Who told you there is help in Egypt, my dear. ” Adura’s father said to her mother that very morning she told him about his decision.
Her mother felt God was taking too long to answer her. The shame and reproach from people became unbearable for her.
“Please, dear, let me try other gods. I know you won’t be happy for my decision because you were the one who preached the gospel to me some years ago. It seems that God has expired.” She said tearfully.
“Dear, remember the miracles God performed in the Bible. I strongly believe that Adura’s case is something God can do within seconds. Is it not God? I trust my father. Adura’s case doesn’t cost Him anything. It’s not difficult for Him to handle.” Her father said.
“God has dealt wickedly to me. Is this how God wants to pay me for those times I served Him with all my heart? Is this how God wants my life to be? To be a mother to a lame? “She shouted, weeping profusely.
Her husband wasn’t surprised by her outburst. It wasn’t as if he was happy with her daughter’s condition.
The fault wasn’t from his side neither from her wife’s side. They did what every couple did. Her wife became pregnant just like every other women. She delivered just like every other women. She didn’t experience any complication. In fact, her delivery was a rare one because she brought forth with ease.
So, who should be blamed? God????
Well, her father believed he was serving a true God who wasn’t wicked. He believed God permitted her daughter to be like that just for His glory to be manifested.
Adura was a special child from God. She was brought into the world for a vital role people with legs (who can walk) may not be able to perform.
So, God understood why she came to the world like that. She wasn’t born by mistake as many people claimed.
All these were points Adura’s father wanted to drive into her wife’s mind, but the disturbed woman wouldn’t allow them to sink into her mind.
She went ahead to consult an oracle she was introduced to by a woman who was once her enemy.
The woman suddenly became her friend when she heard about her daughter’s pathetic case.
When they got to the herbalist’s place for miracle, the man told him that the father was behind her daughter’s case.
*****
Things had been tough for Mr. Akinpelu for some years before he came across his wife. He narrated all he had gone through, praising his wife for being his angel sent to turn his life around for him.
When they finally tied the knot, life became more comfortable for them.
*****
“Your husband is using your glory. In fact, he is using your daughter’s glory too. That is why your daughter is lame.” The herbalist announced with joy.
Adura’s mum couldn’t believe her eyes.
Her husband??? Using her glory??? Using Adura’s glory???
Anger spiraled from the pit of her stomach.
” Baba, I will kill that man when I get back home. No wonder he has been shouting God!!!! He is so stu.pid. He has been deceiving me since all these while not knowing he has been the one behind my predicament. Why are men wicked.” She cried out. Her heart was shattered.
She felt betrayed.
“I mmediately you get to your house, pack your load and leave him so that he won’t have access to your glory again. Just give it few weeks, Adura will begin to walk. When you want to leave, ensure you rub this on your door.” The herbalist said, handling a substance to her.
Adura’s mum rushed down home like a woman being pursued by a lion.
She met her husband playing with her daughter, Adura. He was reading some verses of the Bible to her daughter who was beaming with joy as if she truly understood what was being read to her.
“Gbaaaa!!!!!!!”
Something hard landed on Mr. Akinpelu’s back.
It was a stone!
“Where did the stone come from?” He asked no one in particular.
It was just like a dream to him that something from nowhere landed on his back.
He continued playing with his daughter.
Another one landed at his back.
He turned around, only to discover his wife at a corner in the sitting room with stones in her hand.
His heart fell.
He couldn’t believe his eyes. He felt his wife wanted to kill him with those stones.
“You are surprised? De.villllll!!!!!! You are the one behind my daughter’s predicament. You incapacitated her. You destroyed her glory. You de.villlllll!! Your secret has been exposed. I will show you pepper before I leave you.” Adura’s mum shouted. She kept on ranting.
Everything came as a shock to Adura’s father. He opened his mouth wide, but they refused to close.
Tears began to drop from his eyes.
It was when Adura said “dad, you are crying” that he truly knew he was shedding tears.
Seeing her dad in tears broke the helpless girl into tears. He didn’t really know what was happening, but he felt for his father.
“I am leaving this house for you.” Adura’s mum announced while packing her loads.
Holy Spirit ministered to Adura’s father to be at alert and engage in prayers.
He was still praying to God when Adura’s mum finally packed her things.
Before she left, she rubbed the substance given to her on the door as instructed by the herbalist.
Adura’s mum embarked on a journey. Journey without direction. She was clueless of where she was going to. She thought of going to her mum’s place.
A spirit instructed her not to go to her parents house.
The spirit kept on leading her to a direction unknown to her.
The spirit all of a sudden instructed her to sleep inside a gutter when she became very weak as a result of trekking for hours.
A woman wanted to pour dirty water inside the gutter when she saw a woman who looked insane, with her luggage inside her gutter.
Fear ran through her spine.
“Is this woman m.ad? Is she dead?” she asked no one in particular.
She ran to where her phone was to make use of the light on her phone to see clearly. She still saw that same woman.
She took a picture of the woman and ran to her husband to show him what she saw.
At the spur of the moment, he rushed down with his wife to feed his eyes.
They tapped the woman in the gutter. She acted as a m.ad woman.
The woman’s husband burst into tongues. Dragged the woman up and examined her critically only to discover that she was someone well known to them.
Adura’s mum had changed drastically. She was insane.
Well, the prayers were made. They took her in.
The veil covering her eyes opened immediately. The moment she was showed the picture of her taken when she was in the gutter, she wept profusely. She cried and cried and cried till she had no strength to cry again.
“You listened to the devil. You allowed the devil to enter your home. You allowed a crack in your home. You slept off spiritually.
The devil wanted to eliminate your husband’s life for being a terror to their kingdom. They’ve tried all means. But they later came through you because you were weak in the spirit.”The woman’s husband said as he continued.
If not for the prayers of your husband, you would have been totally insane and die eventually.
What are you looking for from the devil for crying out loud?
Does he has anything good to offer you? Have you forgotten that all what Satan offers are temporary. Did you think he doesn’t know what he is doing? Did you think he will give you lasting solutions to your problems?
Have you forgotten that if satan gives you one, he will collect ten in return?
You were busy running up and down for your daughter while your daughter isn’t bothered about her state. Your husband isn’t bothered at all.” The man said.
” Daddy, they said my husband was behind my predicament. Daddy, I was told he used my glory. I was told he used the glory of my daughter. Daddy….”Adura’s mum said tearfully but was interrupted.
“Shut up my friend!! Why must you listen to the devil at the first instance. Why???? If only you know how much your husband loves you. If only you know how many women are dying to have your man.
Your husband has been praying to God about great turn around in his life for years. God didn’t answer him. He felt that wasn’t the appropriate time for the turnaround. The moment you came to his life, the request was granted.
Your husband didn’t use your glory. In fact, you are one of the foo.lish women I have ever seen.
How can a woman be so weak in the spirit? Have you forgotten that you are the gatekeeper of your home? If the gate is weak, then the enemies will invade the house to kill, steal and to destroy.
Thank God for the man you have. He was strong when you were weak. Better trace your steps back to God and stop toiling with your home. Trace your steps back to God!!!! Wake up from your slumber and keep your home under the wings of God.” The man said.
Adura’s mum was in tears. Those words pierced her heart. She was n***d before God.
“Mercy, father!!!!!!! Enough of being a foo.lish woman.” She cried.
After one hour, she felt experienced restoration.
****
If you are still sleeping in the Spirit, WAKE UP!!! Remember, Satan is not resting over your matter. Wake up!
To be continued.
