I sat down on the bed unable to find sleep for my eyes. Ella had told me that the meeting would change my life forever. Truly, it had changed me forever.
I so much loved when Mummy Oladimeji laid her hands on me and said she was depositing a measure of the anointing of God upon her life into me. I knew u would never be the same again. I had made contact with power.
I knew I was going back to Broadway academy.
“But I’m going back there with power. Hahahah! Juliet is on fire! Watch out slay queens, another slayer is coming. Boys are in trouble. Lesbians go hear am! Another slay queen is coming!” I said smiling profusely.
I was surprised when I saw my phone ringing. My phone was on silent so I only saw the screen displaying an incoming call. It was my Dad.
Hmmm! This man! He’s such a bag of secrets. God has exposed you today.
When Mummy was telling me all the secrets my father hid from me, I was expecting her to tell me one last secret, but she never did.
Why did my father refuse to marry mummy Toyin Abayomi. I mean, I remember mummy Agnes Oladimeji saying she met mummy Toyin on campus. So if I’m correct, mummy Abayomi was already on fire while in campus before she was ready for marriage.
Who would see such a wonderful young lady and reject her? That man must seriously be under the manipulation of household demons.
Since my father was calling, it was time to tell him I had know so much and get the remaining information I needed from him.
I picked up the call and swiped the green bar.
“Hello Dad!”
“Hi honey! The love of my life! How are you doing?”
I first had to blush first. My dad had the most amazing sugar coated tongue on earth. I wonder what lady on earth can withstand his charms.
Please the man who would marry me, must be like my father ooo. I don’t want a boring husband at all.
“I’m fine!” I replied grinning.
“I have been dying to hear the voice of my angel. Oh what a relief it is to my heart. My bones are revived. My health is restored. My joy has no bounds. To hear the angelic voice of my Juliet! My Treasurable darling angel!”
My cheeks were already turning red.
“Daddy! Don’t tempt me oo! I will vex and marry you ooo!” I teased.
“You’re out of your mind!” He chuckled and we both burst into laughter.
I couldn’t wait any longer. I had to unveil the secrets.
“Daddy! I have discovered the secrets you have refused to share with me about yourself,” I announced.
“I’m not surprised. I was expecting you to find out anytime soon. I just didn’t have the courage to speak up. I was such a disappointment to you! I’m so sorry!” He apologized.
“Daddy! I have always hated my mother. I had always hated that woman. I can’t believe I can out from her. Why did you get married to a terrible creature like her? Didn’t you consider me?”
For 60 seconds daddy was mute. I was about apologizing for saying that when he replied.
“When I was much younger, they used to tell us in church to pay the price for our unborn children. I never knew you would have to suffer from my mistakes and selfishness. All I thought about was my comfort and my needs.
I never looked into the future. I never thought about you. All I was concerned about was satisfying my present needs. No future ambition.
I lost Toyin to another guy. By the time I made up my mind to go back to her, she was already married.
How my relationship with your mom started was like a manipulation. We just kept on getting close and close till I decided to consider her for marriage. I never knew she was a chameleon. She was only putting on a mask. She was a masturbator.
No wonder why I wasn’t surprised when you once complained to me that you discovered you always lusting after boys and get aroused so quickly.
I knew you inherited lust for boys from her. She was a public woman. She was only putting on a mask to get married to me. Immediately we got married, her true colour was revealed. She couldn’t stay faithful to one partner. She needed more than one man to satisfy her hunger for intimacy on the marital bed.
She was never satisfied with copulating with just one man. She was here and there. Different men have seen everything about her. She broke our marital vows countless times.
She was never there to look after you and give you the care you needed. All she did was dropping you with daycares here and there.
I knew if I wanted you to fulfill destiny I needed to pay a greater price. I had the send her away because of you. If you had grown up under her watch, you would have ended up a promiscuous young lady.
It was a price I had to pay for you Juliet. I’m so sorry I failed you by giving you a wrong mother. Mummy Abayomi was supposed to be your mother, but I failed you,” he said and I could hear him crying on the phone.
Wait there was something my father said that really got my attention. Did he say I inherited my lust for boys from my mom? What? Wait a second! Are you telling me I inherited stubbornness from my father, then lust from my mother?
What kind of inheritance did my parents give me? Battles and struggles? Haa!
Soon, a scripture landed in my head. Proverbs 13:22. A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
My parents, left nothing for me but battles. Haa! I felt like life itself should rewind, so my dad can undo what he had done and be married to mummy Toyin Abayomi.
But how can it be? My father had every opportunity to fulfill destiny but wasted it. Now, I’m here to suffer from his past mistakes.
I knew very well that there was something wrong with me, especially the way I was lusting after boys. Because if there was anything my father did well, was to teach me sexual purity from the age of 8. He even taught me about my monthly circle and how to go about it when I come of age because it was obvious my mom would never be there to help me.
He was there when I had my first womanhood experience and I was able to handle myself perfectly, because I had been well trained for it.
Dad taught me how to maintain purity. Taught me about the dangers of masturbation and pornography very early. So when I started growing, I already knew what they were and grew up with hatred for it.
Even when I came to Broadway academy, I rejected all the skimpy skirts they gave me to wear. Exposing my body through the seductive dresses I wore, was something daddy had taught me right from childhood. To wear something skimpy was so difficult for me. I would feel as if I was naked and would walk around in shame.
To sit down and see my bare thighs exposed is so discomforting. Any of my skirts that cannot cover my laps, I dispose it immediately. I don’t even like to sit down and look for handkerchief to spread over my legs. Any skirt that cannot cover my legs, I burn it.
If at all I had seen porn videos, I would call it a mistake. Because the next thing I would do is to take my eyes off the screen. And no matter how crazy I felt, with all the training dad gave me, I would never touch my body to excite myself immorally.
So where was this lust coming from? Now I knew the source. It’s from the wrong woman my father picked up to be my mother. If God doesn’t intervene in my case, I would become a promiscuous woman like herself. God forbid!
Indeed, blood is thicker than water. I carry her blood, therefore, I carry her weaknesses.
I placed the phone to my ear as tears flowed down my cheeks.
“Daddy! There was something we were taught in church recently. Our pastor said that if you don’t deal with your weakness while you’re a single, you’ll end up transferring it to the children you’ll give birth to.
That means, if your weakness is anger and you didn’t overcome it during your single hood. You’ll end up giving birth to children who would carry a double portion of you spirit of anger.
It’s clear to me that you didn’t prepare the way for me. It’s clear to me that you didn’t have me in your thoughts when you were a young man,” I said and burst into tears.
“ARE YOU BETTER THAN HIM?” Came the gentle whisper.
I looked up.
“Sir?’
“YES! ARE YOU BETTER THAN HIM? YOU AND HIM WHO IS WORSE? FEJIRO WHO WAS HANDED OVER TO YOU TO PREPARE HER WAY, I CAN SEE YOU TOOK CARE OF HER VERY WELL. JULIET TYE GREAT JUDGE.
CONTINUE CONDEMNING YOUR FATHER OOO! YOUR OWN CONDEMNATION IS ON THE WAY.”
I knew I was using tye wrong words now. Truly my Dad had failed me. Getting the wrong woman as my mother was an irreversible mistake. But, raising me up properly, that was a blessing.
No wonder why that demonic boy we met said how can two teenage girls be so loaded with virtues? He saw two girls who had never lost their virtues to the devil through masturbation and pornography. The rate at which young people especially teenagers watch porn videos and masturbate is so alarming.
Almost every teenager has done it. But he saw two girls, who had never done it throughout their lifetime. He was so willing to get our virtues.
That wouldn’t be possible without dad’s early training on sexual purity. Even a girl with the blood of a promiscuous woman running in her veins was able to stay pure. Through daddy’s prayers and teaching.
My father is still my hero!
“Daddy I’m so sorry! I’m sorry I said those foolish things,” I began to apologize.
“It’s alright darling! You can say whatever you want to say. I truly failed as a father.”
“No you don’t understand. Remember when I told you about that young man we tried to preach to and ended up into a power tussle?”
“Yes! I remembered. God saved you from his hand,” he answered.
“It just dawned on me that I wouldn’t have been a lady of virtue if not how you taught me to stay pure. You have been the best daddy in the world. You taught me the number one destiny killer and poured yourself into teaching me how to handle it.
I’m so glad I had a dad like you. You’re not perfect! But you are striving to be. That alone, is the best you could ever do for me. I’m so glad you taught me well,” I said smiling.
“Juliet! Thank you so much.”
“I should be the one to say that. I’m grateful to God for having a good father like you. You sacrificed everything you had to see I do not fail my generation. I’m truly grateful.”
“Awwwwwwnnn.” He replied.
“And I caught you too! I was told you spend 3 hours praying for me everyday. Is it that true?”
“I can do anything for my baby girl! Anything at all.”
“Wow! I’m falling in love with you ooo!”
“You better go and fall in love with Jesus! I’m just an unprofitable servant.”
“No! It’s you I want to fall in love with,” I replied sulking playfully.
He burst into laughter and I joined him as well.
Soon, silence fell for the next one minute before he finally broke it.
“Juliet!”
“Yes Daddy!”
“I’m sorry! I am truly sorry! But you must always remember, I have pushed you into the pathway of your destiny. I agree with you that I failed you. But what about you?
Will you also fail like me?”
To be continued……
Brethren, your period of being single is not a time to test if John is the right man or Peter is the the will of God for you. Let me try them out.
Your period of single hood is a period of identifying those weaknesses in your life and dealing with them.
It is a period of building a godly character and relationship with God that your children will grow up to meet you doing and emulate.
Whatever weakness you refused to deal with before marriage, will be transferred into your children.
If you’re a praying mother, your children will suddenly grow up to find themselves praying. They won’t know why.
You see me preaching today, it’s as if I love preaching. Go and ask my father what he transferred to me. The megaphone my Dad used in going out for morning crying and evangelism as a young man. He literally handed it over to me. Haa! 😊😊😊😊 Inheritance.
What are you going to transfer to unborn children?
