*PART FIVE*
The next day, she woke up very early to complete her home duties so as to get to church early. Her mother wasn't around, so she had the whole time to herself and nobody trying to stop her from going to church. By 8 am, she was dressed up. The distance from the church to her house, was not too far.
Few minutes when she got to the church, the Sunday school service was over but she thanked God she didn't miss the general class as she sat in her normal position, beside bro Matthew.
"Good morning" she greeted after the general class was over.
"Good morning sis Adura, it's nice seeing you again. I hope I will be able to discuss with you after the church service" he asked and she nodded in response as the chorister was set to lead the praise and worship.
*Only God knows what Broda Matthew want to discuss with sis Adura...Are you thinking what I am thinking?*
Bro Matthew kept disturbing her, even when the praise and worship session was going on. Until the prayer session but she ignored him.
"What exactly do you want from me bro Matthew? She asked after the prayer session.
"I just need 5minutes out of your time" he said
"Okay no problem sir but please, can we stop talking and focus on why we are here" she begged him.
"Yes, since you've given me the reply I want" he said as Pastor Jimi stepped on the altar to take the testimony session....
"Do we have testifiers in the house" he asked and Adura raised her hand up
"Again" Bro Matthew said as other people were staring at her. She looked at him and asked "is it too much to thank God?
" No ooo, it's not too much. Is just that....he couldn't finish his statement as Pastor Jimi called out the testifiers. She stepped outside, as everyone was staring at her especially Danielle and Darasimi. They were waiting for what she has to say. She began to doubt in her mind, if she should go back to her sit or just overlook their reaction.
*What could you have done if you were in her shoes?*
She was still thinking until Pastor Jimi tapped and handed the microphone to her. She overlook their reaction and said "Though I walk through the valley of Shadow of death, I fear no evil for God is with me. He comfort me and I know he will restore me. I want to thank God for restoration" she said and handed the microphone back to Pastor Jimi and went back to her sit
"Chai, I pray God help our sister o" Daniella said
As she was about to sit down, it happened again. She fell down and everyone around her ran away including bro Matthew.
"Jesus! Oluwa o. So Na epilepsy patient I dey sit with" bro Matthew said as he placed his hands on his head.
"Ehn, you see your sister. You know I talk say she no normal" Danielle said.
"Yes o, wonder shall never end. Warapa(epilepsy)!! Darasimi exclaimed. Pastor was about to touch her when his wife pulled him back and said " You have to be careful, you cannot touch her like that". She tried standing up but she couldn't. Pastor Jimi walked up to her and pulled her back to her feet.
"It's going to be fine" he said and he gave her his handkerchief, to clean her dress. Pastor announced that everyone should go back to their sit but she couldn't stay back because of the embarrassment
"Only if I had listen to my mother. Who can I tell now, that I am not an epilepsy patient. God can you still heal me? She asked in tears as she walked her.
Are you about to relent on that which you have been praying for because of people reaction?
Part 6 will be posted tomorrow by 8:30 am.
