I LOVE YOU – episode 19

I got to akure and went to my aunty’s place at Oshinle. Her husband is a pastor in RCCG.

I knocked on the door, she opened and shouted “Kelvin”. At least, she was happy to see me, since she hugged me.

Aunty: how come? What happened?
Me: I was released today.

She called her husband from the room, “ daddy tobi!, Kelvin is here o”

Dady tobi: Kelvin, you are here, how are you?

 I was welcomed into the home, given food ( iyan and egusi), I had come right on time.

They called and told my dad I arrived, “I don’t care” he had said.

I was to stay with my cousin, tobi in his room. I unpacked the small bag I recovered from the prison.
My phone( I got another one after the incident, with hadizat’s help of course), earpiece, wrist watch etc.

My aunty subscribed for me two days later, as I got a new sim ( dad had taken the old sim).

Mum soon came visiting, she hugged me tight, and weeped on my shoulders again (her weeping always breaks my heart)

Mum: “my son, hope you are good” ( how mothers can miss their child!), she said while turning me a around to check out my physical state. Your dad is still angry, he is so stiff, stay here for the meantime till his anger is pacified. I’d try and persuade him.

I knew she was just saying that to cheer me up, dad rarely rescinds on his decisions.

She spent the whole day with me and went back home around 7pm. She promised to bring temi on her next visit.

Few days after my arrival, daddy tobi called me. We sat on a bench outside the compound.

Daddy tobi: Kelvin, I guess you have learnt your lesson? You have seen what lust has brought upon your life. Your education is at a stand still, in fact, now you have been expelled from school. Your father disowned you and now the devil is really happy.

(Tears started flowing again)

“now tell me, what do you want to do with your life? You can’t just sit at home and do nothing.
Me: I don’t know yet sir
Daddy tobi : returning back to your first love, Christ, is your best bet. you need to receive the life of Christ again. Right now, the devil is looking at you, he has succeeded in pulling you down to the miry clay he is. Destroying your life fulfilling his part of john 10:10 in your life. He has killed your spiritman, stolen your salvation, and destroyed your destiny & purpose. But to have life abundantly, you need Jesus! Jesus loves you, are you ready to accept him?

( I wept bitterly and said a yes. He prayed for me and went in)

The following day, I went to the church, prayed sorrowfully, confessing all my sins to God.
Tears flooded the whole place, as I lay on the altar
“ dear God, have mercy on me a shameful sinner……………..”

After about an hour, I dozed off on the altar. I dreamt and saw a man, that his body emitted a glorious light, I couldn’t behold. Seated on a great throne located between four cherubims. I saw Jesus.

And he said “ I LOVE YOU”.

Then I woke up, rejoicing, “ jesus loves me!!!!!”. I went home and narrated all to my uncle.
The following day, my dad and mum came, “ we have come to take our son home”

It was Jesus!!! He did it!!! Suddenly I remembered Tye tribett’s song : “if he did it before, he’d do it again, same God right now, same God back then”

But has my story ended? NO!!!!!! why was hadizat sorry the other day?
