My God When - S01 E30

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 30

I didn’t bother myself about marriage. I believed marriage wasn’t meant for me since I had nothing to show forth after wedding ceremony.

You know, wedding ceremony is just within a day. I hope I’m right?

My mum was troubling me. She told me to intensify my prayers maybe God would remember me.

I just told her I heard her. I never prayed about marriage again. I had written marriage off.

I worked on my career. I worked on myself. In fact, I was ready to die as a single woman. Though, sometimes I do think about my mum. I wish she could get a grandchild from me but, I just couldn’t. My inability to carry a baby wouldn’t allow her to be a grandmother.

I learnt how to make myself happy despite the fact that many mocked and despised me.

Many prophets prophecied falsely. Many told me I had a spiritual husband. Many told me my mum was behind my predicament. Many told me a rope was tying me down maritally.

Many told me I had some generational curses hanging on my neck. Many said this and that yet, I was not moved because I knew what I did in my past.

It wasn’t as if I never had a suitor in my life like many people were thinking and saying. I had numerous suitors but my condition drove them away. Who would ever marry a woman without a womb?

I was dedicated to the things of God. I came to this world alone. I’m going to leave this world alone. I’m not going to heaven with my husband, parents or anyone, because of this, I really wanted my life to count.

I made up my mind to make impacts in my lifetime. The fact that I had no child to call my own made me have interest in children.

I visited the orphanage home close to me whenever I was free. I really loved them. I donated food stuffs and many other things there.

It came to a time that I almost turned that orphanage home to my second abode. The children there were so happy.

There was a little girl that came to meet me one day. She was so beautiful but, unhappy. She told me a lot about herself. I was moved to tears.

I sat her on my laps, played with her hair, sang beautiful songs into her ears till she slept off. When she woke up, she was so happy.

Many other children were so free with me. Many of them told me their dreams and their aspirations. I took note of them.

I was determined to help them succeed by the grace of God.

The woman in charge of those children could not thank me enough. She told me how her passion led her to orphanage home.

Many successful people who came out from that same orphanage home made it their duties to cater for others in the home.

The woman told me that a man was the owner of the home. He traveled out of the country and left the home in her care. I tried to find out about the man.

She told me the man was a single man. The children in the orphanage home were his joy. Marriage wasn’t in his mind.

After spending an hour, I went home.

As I was preparing dinner for myself, a voice said “Emmanuel Adebayo is your husband”.

Well, I haven’t heard that name before so I discarded the voice. I thought it was my mere thought.

I forgot about it. I became more focused with my life. I volunteered to be a worker at the orphanage home. So, I told them not to pay me a dime. I even spent more, there.

I was in the orphanage home, playing with some of the children when the woman in charge of the home sent for me. I left what I was doing and went straight to where she was.

She told me that she spoke about me to the owner of the home. She said he would love to see me in his office right away.

I was surprised. I never knew the boss was back.

I went straight to his office, knocked at the door and was asked to enter.

As I stared at him, a voice whispered “This is your husband”. I discarded it. I was binding and casting the spirit.

For minutes, he was just starring at me. I became uncomfortable. I couldn’t look at him eyeball to eyeball.

I broke the silence when I eventually found my voice, to greet him.

“Good afternoon, madam. How have you been, ma? Mrs Adebowale told me a lot about you. I just called you to my office to say a very big thank you for all you’ve been doing. May God reward you.” He said.

” Amen. I’m glad I found myself here too. I love children a lot. I’m happy I’m making impacts here.” I said.

” Madam, you look beautiful”. He said.

I smiled and thanked him.

“Can you please tell me more about yourself?” He asked.

I told him about myself although, I didn’t tell him about my past.

“May God bless you with a good man that will love and cherish you” He said.

I managed to say “amen”.

Why are you reluctant to say amen. Aren’t you planning to get married soon? He asked.

I kept quiet. I asked about him. He told me about himself.

When he was done, I managed to pray for him just like he did for me.

“May God give you a woman that will support your vision in life.”

He shouted a resounding “amen!!”.

The reason why he wasn’t married was because many ladies he had had contact with weren’t in support of his vision.

Many of them weren’t really to support his orphanage home.

Of a truth, he is a rich guy. I think that was what attracted many ladies to him. Those ladies never knew that he was a man of purpose. A man of vision.

The way he shouted “amen” made the two of us to laugh. I really laughed.

To be continued.
