*PART TWENTY*
A month later, Adura registered for Jamb and she scored 226 with all her WAEC results cleared. After some weeks, she was given admission to university of Nigeria, Nssuka. To study mass communication. She was so happy as they thank God and start buying all the necessary things. Pastor Jimi also promised to assist them financially with what he has.
"Mummy, I need to go to church tomorrow. I need to fulfil my pledge to God" she said to her as they were packing her luggage's for school
"Yes o, my love. It is very essential for you to do so" mother said as she faced her.
"I believe we are going together? She asked her mother
"Before nko, we are going together. No more hiding away from church" mother said as she smiled and they quickly arranged everything. After that, they ate and prayed together before they slept.
The next day, they woke up very early so as to get to church before the Sunday school class end.
"Mummy Adura, it is nice seeing you again" the women leader said as they arrived at church. Adura went to sit in her normal position and everyone was looking at her
"Yes o, thank God. I am back now" mother said and smiled as they entered the church together.
"It's nice seeing you" bro Matthew said and smiled after the Sunday school service
"Thank God" she said and smiled as the choir director led the congregation in praise and worship. Adura danced so much during the praise session and people were looking at her, wondering what happened. Some were confused, they expected her to be ashamed but she was doing the opposite.
"Hmmm...shey your friend don't know she is supposed to take it easy, so that she won't fall down again" Danielle said
"Danielle, please don't start again. I don't want to laugh, who knows if that is her best way of giving testimony to God" Darasimi said
"Shoo..Wetin dey do you today, why your blood dey hot" Danielle said as she ignored her.
After the praise, pastor Jimi took the opening prayer and also took the testimony time.
"Its testimony time. Testifiers in the house, should please raise up their hands" Pastor Jimi said and only Adura raised her hands up.
Stay with me as we journey together!
*PART TWENTY ONE*
"Ooh not again" Darasimi said
"I pray she won't fall down again" Danielle said.
Bro Matthew closed his eyes, as he was praying within for her not to fall down again. Adura looked at him, smiled and stepped outside to share her testimony. Her mother was smiling uncontrollable, where she sat down.
"Firstly, I want to thank God for everything. I thank God for the gift of Salvation. I thank God for the gift of life, for strengthen me....She knelt down and was still talking as Darasimi murmured " It's like the testimony is another new dimension today"
"Yes o. I am still wondering, if she is the one or another person" Danielle said curiously. Bro Matthew was still praying within him.
"Yahweh eh eh eh
Yahweh eh eh eh
You are glorious
So glorious
In your ways
You are perfect
So perfect
In your ways...
You are everything lord" she sang as she was crying and speaking in tongues. Bro Matthew opened his eyes immediately, to check who the person was. The whole congregation was confused. Her mother was on her sit shedding tears, as she stared at her.
"Church, I am glad to tell you that this lady here is free. Free from the bondage of attack, free from the bondage of an unknown ailment" she said as she stood up and the whole church rose up. The pastor and his wife were surprised as they used their hands to cover their mouth.
"Thank God" bro Matthew shouted and was clapping.
"It is a lie o or did I just hear something else" Danielle said
"No, you did not o. Thank God" Darasimi said as they were all surprised
"I know many might be wondering how? How did it happened? It happened in an unusual way. God is too faithful to disappoint me. During those period, it was as if my life was shattered. I was bittered, angry and pained but still within all these, God was making a way. God will make a way, where it seems to be no way.
He is too committed to leave us with those ailments, challenges, struggles and burdens. He will surely be with us so, we also have to stay focused and be strong in the lord. He is the only way out of every mess.
Also, not only did God heal me, he gave me an admission into university of Nigeria, Nssuka. Glory to God. I want to use this medium, to thank those who stood with me and encouraged me during those period. To pastor Jimi, you are truly God sent. God bless you sir. To my mother, I love you forever, thank you ma. To bro Matthew, thank you for your visitation. God bless you sir" she said as she dropped the microphone. Her mother wiped her tears and sat down.
Everyone kept congratulating her, as Pastor Jimi told her to wait behind for prayers. He asked the whole church to stretch forth their hands, and pray for her. After the prayer, she went back to her sit as people were congratulating her.
"Chai, this God is undisputable o" Danielle said
"Yes, indeed" Darasimi said
"This testimony of yours shall be permanent in Jesus name... Amen" Bro Matthew said
"Amen. Thank you sir" she said as the pastor stepped on the altar, and ordered for total silence.
"Sis Adura life is a message already. If you are here and have not given your life to Christ, can you step further because only in Christ can you experience such a miracle and encounter. This is an also opportunity, for those of you that want to rededicated your life to Christ. You have given your life to Christ but along the way, you fell. These two set of people, should come forward" Pastor said as people were going outside.
Sis Danielle, sis Darasimi and others. He prayed for all of them and he gave a little exhortation. After the prayer, then the offerings and closing prayer by Pastor Jimi.
Adura knew she could not go home, because of the people who wanted to see her and her mother had to attend women meeting .
