Episode 3
Mary’s step Dad returned home threatening her mother never to bring her back to his house.
“I don’t want to set my eyes on that prostitute you called your daughter. Am I clear?”
“Honey that girl cannot come here she knows I will kill her”
“I just want to make myself clear because if it happens I will send you packing”
“Ah honey is not up to that now, what God has joined together no Mary can put asunder” She tried to make him smile. “The problem I have is our neighbors, could you believe they reported at the police station that Mary is missing?. Rose was their leader”
“What! have they forgotten I’m the caretaker of this house. They will hear from me” He fumed in anger. He issued them a quick notice immediately.
The kidnappers returned with a ritualist.
He made some incarnation
“Ah this one is a no-go area, she has been used, can’t you see she’s not in her real senses?”
“Ah, we are observing her since, we thought she is just faking it.”
“When do they start faking madness, lose her, and let her go.” He exclaimed
“Ah, Omah will pay for this, he brought a useless person for us. His head will go for this”
“Hmm, since you said she’s pregnant why not keep her here till she delivers, her baby can be useful”
“Baba, you are making sense, we can recover our money from that. But, Omah will still pay with his life.”
“Any other person available?” The ritualist asked
“Nobody for now”
They heard somebody whistling.
“That’s Omah, Baba wait, You are not going empty”
They went out to meet the false preacher; Omah, they spoke to him calmly as if nothing happened and tricked him to wine with them. He became the sacrifice.
Mary was held captive, they continued nurturing her hoping to use her baby anytime she delivered.
8 months later, Mary delivered a baby girl. They seized the baby and dumped Mary on the street.
Whereas before that time some groups of believers had been doing prayer-walk going from street to street healing any form of infirmities.
“What God cannot do those not exist!!” they screamed as they sighted Mary. They formed a circle around her and began to pray.
Miraculously Mary regained her senses. This marvelled the people watching and many gave their life to Christ.
Mary busted into tears.
“Where am I?” She asked faintly.
“Madam, God has just delivered you from the spirit of Madness.”
She took her time to remember all that happened to her.
“Where is my child, please don’t let them use my child?” She cried
“Calm down and explain things”
“I remember I was kidnapped. But now my pregnancy is gone. I think they have my baby.”
“Do you know the place?”
“I don’t know”
“Is okay, children of God let’s pray to God to preserve her child.” They held hands again and prayed.
“Madam be rest assured, your child is alive. You can call me Pastor Elijah and these are my fellowship members. feel free ok?, you will stay with the sisters in their secretariat till we get an apartment for you.”
Mary nodded her head. She looked three times older than her age.
They arrived at the secretariat, bathed her, and wore her a new dress.
Madam Cecilia was watching a TV series when her phone rang.
She stared at the name before receiving, “My Son’s teacher. I hope all is well”
“Hello…”
“Hello ma, please come over to school now your son; Clement is behaving somehow, we even have to chain him”
“Chain what??”
To be continued.
(Dear reader, that storm will not end your life, trust me, it is for the glory of God, so that the son of God may be glorified through it.)
