[STORY] AYOMIDE (Episode 04)

Episode 04.

He knew instantly God was speaking to him.
“Me? An elderly woman?
“The bread seller” the voice said
But father, she’s a bread seller. I am a mechanical engineer with a first class degree. You can’t allow me to marry her sir. What will people say sir?

She’s my daughter too. She’s the only one that will complete you. I cannot give you what is bad my son. Stop listening to people and start listening to me son” the voice said firmly and authoritatively.

Bro. Kola rushed back to the house, sat on the chair and supported his head with his hands.
” Father Lord, don’t do this to me. Why can’t you approve sis Tolani for me? Is she not your daughter? Are we not doing the work together? With her as my wife, we will do great exploit for your kingdom”
He tried to argue with the voice but the voice had since kept quiet. He looked at the time on his wristwatch, hurriedly, he rushed out of the house. He got to the office but sat gloomily not contributing to the discussions.

When he returned from work, he took his Bible and started reminding God how he has been faithful in his service to Him. He asked why God would give him an illiterate, a bread seller for that matter. Who would respect him with a wife that sells bread. Taaaah! He told God he doesn’t want the bread seller but Tolani. Immediately proverbs 16:25 dropped in his heart. Quickly he opened his Bible and read.
” There’s a way that seemeth right unto a man: but the end therefore are the ways of death”
As if stung by a scorpion, bro Kola quickly dropped the Bible.

Bro Kola stood outside, waiting for the bread seller. Not that he wanted to buy bread but to have a conversation with her. He has been standing outside the gate for the past 30 minutes, when he saw her approaching. He took his time to look at her very well, trying to assess her. He saw her stopped to sell to her customers before coming towards him.

“Good morning sir! Aren’t you buying bread?
“Actually yes I am buying” He helped her to bring her goods down.
“Which one are you buying sir?
“Anyone is okay for me”
“It’s your money that will determine what you want sir. Please pick the size you need and I will tell you the price”

Ordinarily, bro Kola will not buy Agege bread. He prefers Queen’s meal bread but because he wanted to converse with her, he picked the biggest size and she told him the price.
“You speak well” he told her. “Why are you selling bread?
“I am a graduate sir. I am just helping my sister. This is the trade she depends on and right now she’s sick.” She said sadly
“O so sorry to hear this”
“I just graduated and waiting for my letter of posting. I don’t know where I will be posted for my primary assignment”
“My name is Kola. I am a fire fire brother. I like the things of God” he told her
” I am Adenike” I love the things of God too. “Alright sir, some other time.”
” Don’t be sad, I will pray for your sister’s healing” “Thank you so much”
—————————————————————
Bro Kola couldn’t hide his excitement when he saw sis Tolani the following day.
” I have met her!”
” Met who?
“Adenike!
“Oh! God is not a liar bro Kola. Thank God for your life” she said excited too.
” I have also met mine too. You know bro Segun?
“Yes.”
“He is my better half. It pays to follow God’s instructions to avoid regret. Well congratulations bro Kola.”
” Congratulations to you too.

Brother Kola and sis Adenike got married and it was elaborate. In the course of their courtship, bro Kola discovered so many beautiful things about his wife to be. It is always nice not to judge a book by its cover. Sis Adenike was a better prayer machine than bro Kola. Where he stop is where she’s starting. Bro Kola would have missed his package if he had disobeyed God and listen to his flesh. Sis Adenike is a radical evangelist. Through her so many souls held captive by the devil have been won to God. The things of God excites her. Alot of sisters who felt there was nothing special about her began to envy her. Some deacons and elders in the church began to tackle her and bro Kola. Why would bro Kola marry outside the church? Are there no beautiful and spirit filled sisters here? What is so special about Sis Adenike? They felt bro Kola failed and disappointed them.

Pastor Ezekiel was always there to encourage them. To worsen the situation, Adenike joined the Choir.
“Are you sure about this?” Kola asked ” mouth will wag. Let’s not give them chance to gossip us my love” he told her
” My service is to God and not to man. If I look at the way they have treated me, I won’t be able to serve God. My dear husband, this voice God has give me, will be used to sing beautiful songs for Him”
