The Abomination - S01 E13

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 13

Kassim had really gone too deep into the ocean of atrocity. For three days

we were on spiritual admission in the church. Toyin began to prepare my

mind. Nneka, if God forgives him, you must also

forgive him. You know we were all once sinners but God forgave us all. You

will forgive him so God can

forgive you and give you a new life. It was when she said this I remembered

I had not confessed my

abortion to anybody. The fear of what befell Kassim gripped me. Baba I have

a confession to make too?

He tried to excuse those standing by but I told him I don’t mind. I

confessed everything evil I have ever

done including my affair with Prophet Ade. I became very light after my

confession. It was like a big rock

was excavated out of my heart. I really wished the trumpet could just sound

at that moment. I was so sure of my eternity with Christ.

I reconciled with Kassim but we went through a two week counseling session

before I could accept

Kassim back again as my husband. Not too long, Kassim’s father died of

stroke. His mum followed suit

three months later. We left our former church and we started attending Seed

of Faith Church, Baba’s

church. Kassim didn’t recover fully but he could move about. He lost his

job because of his long absence

at work. The whole family load and Kassim’s medical expenses were on me. We

didn’t resume conjugal

activities until after four months due to Kassim’s health and left over

fear in me.

We found joy in Christ again. This time, it was a genuine encounter with

the most high. In Seed of Faith

Church, no one is allowed to be a bench warmer. You must be in one

department or unit in church.

While I joined the choir, Kassim joined the prayer team. We began to pick

up gradually both spiritually

and financially. The fear of what Kassim said during his confession

resurfaced to torment me. That he

will die childless. I couldn’t even pray to God for a child because I felt

he has done enough for us. But I

need a child of my own before I approach menopause. Is child bearing part

of our forgiveness package?

Will God extend his Mercy to this aspect of my life? I wished he could just

answer all these questions.

Not minding Kassim’s health, I began to take advantage of every moment to

meet with him. Not for

pleasure but for chances of getting pregnant. We tried for several months

with the help of fertility drugs

but all to no avail. One year was gone no pregnancy. I erased the thought

of conception from my mind

and focused on serving God and building my career. At the time I had

completely let go trying, I missed

my period for the first time after about twelve years. I became pregnant

for the man the devil said will

die childless. Satan does not have the final verdict over anyone’s life.

God of Abraham and Sarah showed

up in our lives and our joy knew no bounds.
