I was a bit relieved, at least, after hearing what Mrs Williams said. “Now, tell me….how did it happen?.” She asked.

I told her everything i could remember without hiding anything intentionally. Whenever i said something she didn’t understand, she would throw a question to me, and i would answer.

After our discussion, she said “Do u know what?” I said “No ma”. She said “I will take u to ur house now, to go and pick some of ur dresses and things u’ll need for a few days after which u will come with me to our place. I agreed. In less than one hour, i found myself sitting in d small, beautiful living room of D Williams.

I was taken to d visitor’s room, where i put my bag. What am i going to do next now?….I had no idea. Thank God for d way everything happened, maybe i would have taught of abortion, but now, dt’s out of d way, except i wanted to offend God more.

We didn’t meet Pastor Williams at home when we got home, he was away to attend a meeting, i learnt. He came back around 8pm. He was surprised to see me in their house. I only greeted him, he answered me, and went straight into their room.

His wife followed him immediately, i guess she was going to tell him why he saw me in their house. About one hour later, they both came out of d room. Pastor Williams was unusually silent, but i...

could read from his face he didn’t like what he heard.. Of course, i didn’t expect him to like it.

Then, Pastor Mrs came to my room after dinner and asked “Sis Sewa, what do u want to do now?”. “I don’t even know ma.” “Have u informed Bode?”

“No ma. I didn’t even know i was pregnant.”

“I learnt he has gone back to school…. Send a message to him to inform him, let’s hear what he will say. Don’t let him know I’ve known about it o”.

“Okay ma. I’ll do dt.”

I sent a message to Bode immediately Mrs Williams left my room, informing him about d pregnancy. I expected his reply throughout d night, but he didn’t. D next day was Sunday. I didn’t feel like going to church. I was too ashamed to see anybody’s face, though no one knew about it yet, besides The Williams. I imagined what would happen when d news went viral among church members dt i was carrying Bode’s baby.

…having denied dt i was in a relationship with him earlier… Oh my God! How did i find myself in ds mess? Then i thought of my dad. Eeeeh! .My dad!!. He trusted me so much. I was his pride, his angel, d apple of his eyes. How would he take it?. I have disappointed him. And my two elder sisters. None of them had a child before marriage, even Sis Tiwa was still trusting God for d fruit of d womb then, its only Sis Temi dt had a baby girl, expecting d second one. Oh!..I’ve disappointed many people.

And Bode’s mum? Wouldn’t she think i lured her son to sleep with me? Won’t she see me as a cheap girl?

As i thought of these things, tears was flowing freely from my eyes. Mrs Williams came to tell me to get dressed for service. I told her i wasn’t feeling like going to church. She said “okay, its fine.

Just make sure u seek d face of God for forgiveness, mercy n d way out.” I said thank u ma. They left.

I switched off my phone. Then i started thinking again and again, weeping and asking God for forgiveness. I also prayed for His mercy and way out, as Mrs Williams told me. After d prayer, i put on my phone, and almost immediately, Bode’s message came in.

I read d message which went like ds..”I was devastated by ur message. I think d only solution is abortion. I thought about it tru out d night n dt i think is d only way out. I’m very sorry for any inconvenience ds might have caused u.” I threw d phone on d bed. I said to myself “how i wish it was dt easy.”

As a matter of fact, maybe i would have agreed with him, if ds woman was not involved, but now, i just have to bear d consequences, d shame, reproach, rejection and anything dt comes from it. I threw myself on d bed, covered my mouth with a pillow n screamed into it.

JESUS!.JESUS!!.. Pls have mercy on me….ds is too much for me.

While doing ds, i heard d Pastor’s car moving into d compound. I quickly got up, wiped my face n pretended to be fine.

Soon Pastor Mrs was in d room. “How was ur day my dear”.

“I was praying ma”.

“And weeping at d same time”. She said, smiling. I didn’t answer. I showed her Bode’s message. She read it n said “i knew it. I knew dt would be his option.” Then she sat beside me on d bed, hugged me n said “Listen my darling, there’s nothing new under heaven. Many people have gone tru ds route before, and many will still go tru it.

I’m sure if not for divine intervention, u could have considered abortion as Bode suggested. But sometimes we offend God while trying not to offend man. Don’t use sin to cover sin. God is d Ultimate. Once He has forgiven u, it doesn’t matter if anybody doesn’t. Now, i will tell u d story of my own life.”

I lost my parents when i was very young n went into prostitution when i was in school, sleeping with anything in trouser just to get money n live fine. I aborted many pregnancies, n at a time i just get tired of dt kind of life n decided to opt out of prostitution.. but then, unknown to me, i was already carrying a pregnancy which i didn’t know who was responsible for it.

For a reason i couldn’t really explain, i decided to have d baby. I had a baby girl, named Temidara n was taken care of her alone. Since i didn’t know who her father was, i gave her a surname, Omoolorun which means a child of God.

When Temi was 2yrs old, i gave my life to Jesus n i was seriously enjoying my new life in Christ. About a year n half later, i met a man who proposed to me. He was born again n feared d Lord. We got married about six months later, n we had one of d best marriages in d world. Though, i didn’t have a child for him, d man loved me so much despite pressures from his friends n family members to leave me n find another lady, having known my past. We both continued to serve God with all of our hearts, trusting Him dt one day, He would shut up d mouths of our enemies n give us a child. Then, d unexpected happened.

After 7yrs of marriage, my husband slumped n died in church one Sunday morning. He was d one dt drove us to church dt day, he didn’t complain of having any pain earlier. U wouldn’t like to hear what i went tru in d hands of his family members afterwards. I was treated like an animal. Thank God for my pastor n church members dt came to my rescue. I was not allowed to take anything out of d house, not even my own belongings. It took my pastor’s intervention before i could be allowed to take my certificates. They said i was responsible for d death of dir son.

Months later, i found myself sleeping around with men who were coming to render one assistance or d other. I knew it wasn’t good, but i just couldn’t help myself. I prayed n prayed for God to deliver me, but d more i prayed, d more i found myself in it. People in d church were seeing me as a strong woman, but i knew i was as weak n helpless as a worm.

Then, one day we were having a special programme in church, n a guest minister was invited.

As he was ministering, he paused n said “God is telling me, dt dir’s a woman here, who lost her husband sometime ago, n has since been sleeping with men, both married n single. U know its not good n has bn praying abt it, if only u can come out now, God wants to deliver u. Everybody close ur eyes”. It took me quite some time before i could come out. In fact, it was d Holy spirit dt pushed me out. D man prayed for me, n since dt day i was delivered.

Some women picked quarrel with me later, suspecting dir husbands were among d men i was sleeping with. How they knew i was d one dt came out, i wouldn’t know. After all, d pastor told everybody to close dir eyes.

About 3 months later, d same man of God dt ministered to me, sent my pastor to tell me dt God told him to marry me.

I was surprised.. ”but, doesn’t he have a wife?” I asked my pastor. “He lost his wife last year”. He answered. Dt man of God is Pastor Williams. We got married, and exactly a year later, we had a set of twins.. a boy n a girl. Dt was why i told u d other time, dt if God could have mercy on me, He would surely have mercy on u too.

Look at 1cor 10:13.

God will provide an escape route for u if u are His child, when u fall into d enemy’s trap, provided u ask for forgiveness n obey His leading. Let’s see how things turn out in d next episode.|
