Umumiri

Jesse drove down in to the community dirty and exhausted the twins laid at the back in a deep slumber they looked exhausted from the ordeal they went through,he was lost in thought of how to trace the parents of the boys, he was certain they were grieving for the loss of there children .

It was in the early hours of the morning the sun had already found a place in the cloud to rest ,Jesse was hungry and needed a good sleep looking at the situations of this village he was certain there was no hotel or inn here he looked around the lonely road and houses that looked abandoned he wondered where everyone has gone.

“Stop here son,take the twins home ,preach the good news that the hour of salvation for this community have come”

Jesse heard the silent whisper ,it was calm and clear,it came as swift as a passing breeze

He was about to ask questions when he saw a house in front of him with a woman looking forlorn she looked dirty and didn’t seem to care as her husband tried forcing food into her mouth.

“Thank you Jesus”

Jesse spoke great fully recognizing them from the other night he drove his car into their compound drawing there attention as he stepped down with a slight smile he held his bible and walked towards them not minding his dirty state.

“Peace unto this house” he greeted standing in front of the two couple who looked at him in a strange way and wondered what the purpose of his visit was

The woman eyes was distant and swollen from tears she looked at him and spat at the ground

“Have you come to mock us stranger, there is no peace in this house”

Ngozi replied him then looked away

The man stood up looking Jesse straight up in the eyes

“who are you and what do you want”

his eyes was swollen he looked really down in the dumps but Afam was trying to be a man for the sake of his wife

“I am pastor Jesse, am new in this village” he spoke giving his hand out for a hand shake which was ignored

“What do you want ” Adam asked bluntly

“I came to tell you about Jesus,A true friend that stays closer than a brother”

“Jesus…is it that same Jesus that allowed pastor Kingsley to die in the hands of oshimiri,the one that can’t even save my babies after years of barrenness, that Jesus is just a myth that existed in this village but died with that pastor,please leave my house”

Afam shouted ready to get violet

“That Jesus is Very much Alive ,he conquered death and defeated the forces of darkness,he came for our salvation and freedom that we may have life abundantly,and that Jesus loves you and he is interested in you ,he sent me to preach the good news he has come to restore all the cankerworms had stolen from you” Jesse defended not quite shaken by his violent attitude he was filled with a surge of confidence and power.

“My children that was born last night have been sacrificed to the blood s-----g gods of this land, if that Jesus you talk about exist my children wouldn’t have died,I don’t believe in any god ,they are all evil to me”

Afam broke down in tears not shamed that his fellow man was watching him cry .

“Come with me” Jesse smiled as he walked towards his car

Afam stood right where he was as his wife Ngozi held his hand crying along with him

“Come,your twins are very much alive,it’s the dawn of a new day for you” Jesse said again as he opened the back seat of his car the twins were awake one of them opened his mouth and wailed loudly

The cry of one of the babies was enough for Afam and Ngozi to run towards the car

“Heyyy…its our babies ohhhhh” Ngozi shouted bringing them out from the car as she hugged them closely in tears

“How manage ” Afam asked looking at his two boys in bafflement then he looked back at Jesse holding him hard on his shoulder

“How manage,this can’t be a dream…my boys was taken by oshimiri masquerades before my very eyes”

“Jesus is the most powerful and he saves who he chooses to save,And take who he chooses to,the go you call oshimiri is just a name,it was made by man and can be destroyed,you just need to denounce it and follow the true one who sees all from his throne”

“This your God that saved my children, how do I thank him”Ngozi asked with tears of happiness as she gave one of the twins to her husband dancing with joy

“Submit to him and be saved from the chains of darkness that have held you bound” Jesse smiled at them

“Yes I submit..we submit our self to serve him forever”

It was a thing of joy to see the happy smiles on there face Jesse prayed for them,he blessed the Twins and dedicated them to God the parents choose the name Miracle and Marvelous as a remembrance of this day the miracle was indeed marvelous and had never been seen or heard of in Umumiri village that there was a God great enough to defeat Oshimiri.

Before Jesse left on his way he sanctified the whole house and compound he burnt down the small cowries that was given to them by the priest of Oshimiri and everything related to Oshimiri .

Despite the hospitality of the twins parent Jesse felt an urgent need to continue his journey he entered his car and continued on his way ,he had forgotten he was hungry and had not eaten for days neither had he taken a bath ,but he knew now the secrete of his strength.

The battle was about to begin.
