THE UGLY MISTAKE I WOULD’VE MADE-Episode 3
O.D Oluwasegun
“Liz, do whatever He asks you to do. He can’t be wrong. You alone can be! ”
#Gbam! This was like fuelling the fire. Who told her about me? I haven’t told anyone yet about my struggles, not even Matt, so what’s this!
As I walked into the sitting room, my aged grandma asked me to sit. She looked into my eyes so deeply that I was weak down in my knees.
“Nobody is too ugly, poor, stupid, disabled to be your husband, if God leads you.
Don’t struggle with Him o ” she said in her deep ijesha accent.
At this point, I fell to the floor and beat it hard. I cried out with a shriek while Mama only watched on with a pity.
“God its you talking shae! I know already.
Stop talking. Do you want me to run mad. Its too much. I am not ready for marriage sef, let it stop”
I hit the floor hard with such finality that the blood in my hand ceased from flowing for a few seconds.
I was already sinning. I was frustrated to the extreme.
I had always obeyed God’s will, but now, my pride won’t allow me!
Carrying my Bible, I set off for my Church District where I attended. I made up my mind that I would pray so hard when I get there.
Then I promised
“God, I am sorry for my untoward behavior.
As I am in church now, its a busy day but the first person to enter this church, I will agree to marry. Either Matthew or Dave”
I started praying. I perspired for hours, sincerely crying to God. After about 3hours, as I rounded off, glad no one came, I confidently said:
“For in Jesus’ Name have I prayed”
I heard, almost seven times confident than mine, a resounding ‘Amen’
… Matt…. Matthew’s here. That’s his voice.
Hmmm…but why Matthew? If truly he is not God will….find out in the next episode.
