“Good morning ma!”
“Good morning!” I replied looking at the lady and the guy standing next to her.
“How may I help you?” I quickly asked.
“Mrs Harmony sent us here to drive you home. She said we should get you home safely”, the lady replied.
“Mrs Harry Harmony?”
“Yes ma!” The lady replied.
I chuckled as I dialed her number.
“Harmony!” I said immediately she picked.
“Are they with you already?” She asked.
“Oh! Forgive my manners! Good morning mummy! My mummy my mummy! Your baby is singing!”
“Which baby! This matured Mama with a son and a lot of spiritual children around!” I replied admist laughter.
“Ha! Mummy! They used to say that no matter how tall the okro grows, the owner still knows how to bend it when it’s proving stubborn. Mummy Mummy! I’m still your baby girl na!”
“Baby indeed! Come and suck then!” I teased.
“I go suck ooo! Spiritual milk! Where is it! Oya give me make i drink spiritual Hollandia yogurt!”
I burst into uncontrollable laughter.
“Na me you want bite abi? You no dey fear sef!”.
” Is mummy that said I should come and suck na!”
“Keep quiet jare! See your mouth!” I replied and we both burst into laughter.
“So what did you send these people to do here?”
“To carry my mummy home na!”
“I don’t know how to drive car again or what?”
“No oooo! Have you heard of what happened to mummy Susan? It was only God that rescued her husband ooo! I don’t want you driving after such a stressful program. Please! Allow my mentees bring their spiritual grandmother home”.
“Oh my goodness! So we now have spiritual grandmothers in the body of Christ abi?”
“Yes na! You’re my spiritual mother and they are my spiritual children. So that’s the same thing as being their spiritual Granny. Hi grandma!”
“Mrs Harry, go and sleep jare! Which one is my trouble you are busy looking for this morning?” I said laughing so hard.
“But I’m right na! You’re their grandmother”.
“But I’m not stressed out like Susan’s husband. I am fine and I can still drive myself home”.
“Please mummy! Give these children the privilege of driving there mentor’s mentor home!”
“Mrs Harry!”
“Please!” She pleaded.
“Fine! But don’t do this next time”, I warned.
“I can’t promise you that ooo! You know this your daughter can be troublesome at times. So look forward for more troubles from my end”.
“Then you go chop punishment na!”
“No ooo! You don’t flog a grown up daughter!”
“I don’t understand you ooo! One minute you are my baby girl, the next minute you are a grown up!”
“I’m a shape shifter! I shrink whenever it’s needed to save my head!”
“Get away jor!” I said laughing so hard.
As soon as I ended the call, I gave them a nod of agreement. My stuffs were already set, so they only had to grab them.
The pastor and the leaders of the church were waiting for me at the reception of the hotel building.
He stood up and the leaders did the same as I appeared at the staircase.
“Good morning ma! They all started showering me with greetings.
I responded cheerfully to everyone of them.
The pastor handed me an envelope and told me it was my payment for ministering at the program. I felt like giving him a punch.
“Payment for ministering?” I asked because it was obvious I wasn’t taking a dime from him.
“Yes ma! Although you didn’t charge us, we decided to give you the exact amount other Minister’s have been charging”, he replied.
“Thank you so much sir! But I won’t be taking a dime from you! I’m sorry about that”.
They all looked at me as though I was a creature from another planet.
“You mean you won’t take anything?”
“I don’t like saying the same thing twice”, I replied with a frown.
“Okay ma! But what do you want us to give you?” He asked.
“I need you to follow the instructions in those teachings I gave. That’s the greatest joy I’ll ever have. And lastly, any minister charging you for money before ministering must be avoided. Is that okay?” I asked.
“Yes ma!” He replied.
I signaled to the lady standing next to me and we started moving. They rained prayers on me and thanked like over eleven times, before I was permitted, yes let me use the word permitted to go. Because those guys would never have allowed me return to my charming. I’ve missed my Charming so much. He always kept me company once I was done praying and studying. Throughout the period of the program, we were in constant communication.
A smile appeared on my face as my eyes held my family house. Oh! I forgot to tell you, those guys Harmony assigned to drive me home, really kept me company. Except for the fact that hat they had so many questions to ask that time would not permit me to answer.
The gate opened and the beeping of the car horn and we were finally home. Juliet, Kunle and Samuel ran out to welcome me.
“Mummy!” They screamed and dived on me. If not for the fact that I braced myself properly, I would have landed on the floor.
My charming walked up to meet us with his cool smile. Just the smiles along gave me 2 seconds of blurry vision. Man! This guy was charming me. Please who wants to deliver me?
“Charming!” I said and ran to meet him.
He hugged me and lifted me from the ground.
I squealed in laughter.
“Daddy is carrying my mummy like a baby”, Samuel said pointing at us.
“Yes ooooo! I’m daddy’s baby girl!” I replied and chuckled.
“No! Mummy you are big! It’s we daddy should carry!” Kunle said.
“Charming! Can you hear your children?” I tapped him and pointed at the kids.
We both burst into laughter.
“Mummy don’t mind them jare! They don’t know that before Abraham was, I am!”
“Oh my goodness! See Rhema! Where did you get that?” My Charming asked.
“Yes na! They don’t know that before they came, you have been the only baby girl daddy had”, she added and I almost fell off my Charming’s arms out of laughter.
“This girl is growing so fast ooo! I can’t believe she understood that scripture accurately”, My Charming whispered in my ears.
“Can we all go inside?” My Charming said to the kids and we all headed inside. My Charming carried me all the way into the sitting room.
“Daddy! Drop mummy na! Mummy can walk ooo!” Kunle said grinning.
“Kunle by the time I get into the sitting room, make sure you find a good place to hide yourself! What kind of jealousy is that?”
“Don’t mind him more mummy. Ever since you left, he has been the one climbing daddy’s back”, Juliet reported.
“And today that my Charming is carrying me, you’re still dragging him from me?”
“Yes oooo! I cannot hide my jealousy!” He replied.
We all burst into laughter.
“Mummy! While you were away, Kunle would lock himself up in the prayer room and stay there for one hour everyday. He said he was interceding for you. He never stopped till today”, Samuel said.
“Wow! Kunle you mean you did that for me!” I said feigning a baby voice as my Charming sat me on the sofa.
He covered his face with his palms and started blushing.
“Yes mum!”
“Oh my goodness! What inspired you to do that for me?” I asked.
“Because I don’t want anything to happen to my mom. I love her so much! Infact, I told God to always reveal to me anytime the enemy wants to attack mummy so I can stand in the gap”.
My head was swelling already. Wait ooo! Am I speaking with children or spiritual adults? I don’t understand myself anymore. Who taught this children how to stand in the gap?
“BE ASKING OOO!” Came the gentle whisper.
“Daddy! Ha! They’re still young na!”
“HOW OLD WAS SAMUEL WHEN HE HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH ME?”
“Sir! What I mean is they should still grow small!”
“CRIS! HOLD ON! I WANT TO TELL JULIET TO TELL YOU WHAT I TAUGHT HER TWO DAYS AGO!”
I was still looking at Juliet when she suddenly looked up at me and smiled.
“Mummy! The Holy Spirit taught me something 2 days ago”, she announced.
I was just smiling sheepishly.
“Daddy, you Ehn!” I whispered grinning.
“I also read about standing in the gap and I begged God to help me to always stand in the gap for my spiritual parents. You guys are both biological and spiritual parents to us. So while I was praying, the Holy Spirit told me there was something in the realm of the spirit called SPIRITUAL SPY GLASS!”
“Daddy! Na wetin I hear so?” I asked within me, as I could not contain my shock.
“VERY SOON! THESE CHILDREN WILL BE MY INSTRUMENTS OF UNVEILING NEW MYSTERIES TO YOU. IT’S MY LATEST STRATEGY TO KEEP YOU HUMBLE SO YOU DON’T FALL BECAUSE OF TOO MUCH KNOWLEDGE”.
“Thank you Jesus! To be honest, too much knowledge is dangerous ooo!” I whispered.
“I WON’T GIVE MY CRIS TO THE ENEMY TO DESTROY. I MUST SURELY KEEP HER SAFE”.
“Daddy! I’ll give you high five when I leave this place.
“I WANT MY HIGH FIVE NOW OOOO!”
“The children are here! It would look ridiculous!”
“JUST DO IT”.
I raised my hand and did a real high five in the air. Only that no one touched me physically.
“Why did mummy do that?” Samuel asked.
“She’s giving the Holy Ghost a high five! Can’t you see him standing beside mummy?” Kunle said.
I almost fell off the sofa. I looked beside me to confirm if there was anyone standing beside me. I looked at my Charming and confirmed he was as shocked as I was.
“HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! CRIS CALM DOWN NA! SHEYBI YOU WERE THE ONE TELLING ME IT WOULD LOOK RIDICULOUS?”
“Daddy! I will faint ooo! You shocking me ooo!
“YOU NEVER SEE ANYTHING! ASK JULIET WHAT IS SPIRITUAL SPY GLASS?”
“Juliet! Can you please tell me what spiritual SPY GLASS is?”
“Mummy remember when the David sinned against God and covered it so well that nobody knew? But only one person with spiritual spy glass saw it. Prophet Nathan. That’s what spiritual spy glass looks like. It helps you see secrets about other people. It helps you spy into their privacy from the realm of the spirit.
It helps you sit down in your room and you’ll be hearing what the king of Syria is planning against Israel like Prophet Elisha. You just tell God show you whatever you want to see about a particular person and boom, you start spying on the person. And the person will not know that God has revealed anything to you.
Spiritual spy glass is an intercessor’s weapon that helps the intercessor see clearly the situation of the person he or she is interceding for. It helps you to stop praying amiss. It also helps you to call the person to order whenever the person is going astray.
So how can we actually got it? Simple! Ask God to give it to you. Two! Avoid all x-rated movies or immorality of any sort. Pornography and immoral contents kill the spiritual sight so fast. I mean, it blinds your spiritual eyes so badly that instead of seeing visions, it’s nakedness you’ll be seeing.
Lastly, be a consistent fasting giant. Fasting once of twice a week, helps strengthen the spiritual sight of a Christian. Even when you don’t have any specific reason to fast, make sure a week doesn’t pass without you denying yourself from eating. And please, I know we all have fasting ability, but you see that breaking of fasting 12’o clock, that one no be fasting again ooo. God has upgraded.
The lowest in the realm of the spirit now is 2pm. A day fasting is supposed to end in the evening by 6pm. But if you are not feeling capable, no wahala! But as you grow up in the faith, make sure you leave that realm of breaking fasting by 12pm.
And please, fasting is not looking at the clock to know when it’s time to start eating. It’s called fasting and prayer. If there are no prayers attached to it, then you only succeeded in starving yourself. That’s all about spiritual SPY GLASS mum! I mean for now!”
“Wow! This is awesome! Silas said grinning.
“So who’s hungry? Juliet announced.
“I have prepared spaghetti and fried chicken. My irresistible delicacy!” She said grinning.
“Hulala! I am so hungry!’ I said rubbing my stomach.
She stood up and walked into the kitchen to get the food.
We all moved to the dinning table and sat down.
Silas pulled me close and whispered into my ears.
“I missed you so much! My Pretty Christy. You’re looking more beautiful than you ever did before”.
“God! I will faint here ooo! Emotions wan finish me!” I said within me grinning.
“FAINT NA! NA THERE YOU GO KNOW SAY YOU GET PRAYER WARRIORS!”
I chuckled.
“Here we go!” Juliet said as she came back with a tray and started passing the food to everyone.
Soon, we were all set, ready to devour what was set before us.
“Can the mummy of the house please pray for us?” Silas announced and took my hand on the table.
He also took Juliet’s hand as well. Juliet took Kunle’s hand and he took that I’d Samuel. Soon, we were all holding hands.
“Mummy! Before you pray! I just wanted to say thank you!” Juliet said.
“For what?” I asked.
“Thank you for surrendering to Jesus. Thank you for marrying daddy! You gave us the best daddy in the world. And lastly, thank you for not failing our generation!” She said and I could see the sincerity in her eyes.
I shook my head as I remembered how the journey began. When a multitude gathered around me telling me, ‘Give us the bread!’
I remembered how my mentor told me to let go of Christopher and I was so adamant. I remembered how I fell into sin with him that faithful day. I remembered telling my mentor she was a crazy woman on the phone. I also remembered how I met her at the hospital and she told me she would never let go of me.
I remembered also, when God pointed Silas to me as his will. How I fought against it and landed in the psychiatric hospital as a mad woman.
So many things happened! So many battles were fought. So many obstacles faced me. So many impossiblities all around.
But God was so merciful. He never gave up on me. He loved me unconditionally and spoiled me with his underserving love.
I looked at my Charming and smiled. I looked at my children and smiled. Then I looked at him that cannot be seen with the physical eyes. He was already smiling at me.
“Thank you sweet Daddy!”
THE END
It’s been a wonderful journey so far. I can’t remember the month I started writing this story. But I must say it has been God all the way.
So many lessons. So many mysteries were revealed! Many spiritual lives were revived. Many were inspired to love God more than ever before.
I am so grateful to God for this wonderful piece. MY BABY HUSBAND is officially completed.
Please if you have been a ghost reader, please come out today being the last day and say a word of prayer for the writer of this story brother Ayo Omolayo.
Don’t just go away without saying a word of prayer for me
I love you all!
