Part Nine
Adigun was happy that he was able to escape while Arìké went inside to pray ahead of the Bible study
It was time for the Bible study and Adigun was nowhere to be found, but she wasn't bothered as if she knew he won't come. The people did not decrease, rather they increased. She thanked God for the lives of the people and continued with her teaching.
When she was almost through with the teaching, Adigun strolled in and sat at the back roll. After the Bible study and people had gone home, he came to her.
"Arìké, I am sorry for coming late. I had to follow my daddy to the farm to clear the entire weed. Moreover, your ministration today was powerful. More grace" he said
"Oh...thank God. No problem, why don't you go home and rest? You must be really tired" she said
"Yes I am, but I told myself I had to show up, no matter how tired I am" he said and smiled
"Thank you. If you don't mind, I need to go inside" she said
"Please, can you spare me some minutes? I need to discuss with you" he said
"Okay, no problem. What is that? She asked
" Arìké, I don't want you to take what I am about to say harshly, but I want you to think about it because I believe the lord is leading me to say it. Can we pray" he said
"Okay" Arìké said and they prayed
After the prayers, he said "Arìké, I love you and I want to marry you" he said as he looked into her eyes
"Hmm...Adigun, I already know that is what you are about to say, but can you give me some time to pray about this" she said
"Arìké... There's nothing to pray about. I know you love me and I also do. Together, we shall expand the kingdom of God" he said.
The last statement really touched her and she said "Adigun! You should be happy I said I will pray about it but since, you aren't even sensitive. I will rather make it clear now, Adigun me Arìké can't marry you.
Ooh...you are surprised, don't be. You might be able to fool me but you have forgotten that you can't fool God and since he is my father, he will always tell me when I am in danger.
While I was praying this afternoon, the lord revealed to me every of your plans. You think you can act like someone who is in Christ, to get me. No Adigun, you are wrong. The lord has said in his word, that he won't leave the righteous forsaken. I am sure you didn't see that in your Bible because, if you did. You wouldn't have acted in such way.
I cried not because I was deceived, but because of how you didn't fear God. You used the name of the lord in vain and you are so happy and relaxed.
Adigun, you need to pray to God for forgiveness. I pray the lord forgive and change you totally. Stop living a fake life to impress or gain the attention of people. Good night and have a lovely night rest" she said as she stood up and entered the house. Adigun was touched by those words and he felt embarrassed as he couldn't say anything. He stood up gently and walked home.
It only takes God to reveal this to someone who has a good communication/intimacy with God.
How is your communication with your father?
