THE CONTAINER -THE END
EPISODE 11
“This can’t be! How? Why? All these questions and more quizzed her mind as she checked out the brother again. Is he even aware of this matter? He doesn’t even recognize or know her!
“She doesn’t even know how to react, filled with mixed feelings, she knew she can’t cry or jump or scream, the church and the rest of her team will think she’s crazy. The last thing she want is for attention to be on her talk less of conducting a mini deliverance for her. But if there’s something she’s going to do, she will have to meet up with pastor mike after the church programme and talk to him about what God had said.
“So this is what you are trying to do lord? This is the meaning of the dream I had about bro Adetola? His purpose was to serve as a link where I get connected to his brother? Sayo Ayokunle?
“He had ministered through sax at the JCCF program back then in her 300l days in school. She had felt her spirit leap within her as he ministered, she had admired how he handled the sax, how the spirit moved in his ministration, people speaking in tongues, some shedding tears, and the atmosphere was filled with the presence and power of the most high.
“She smiled as she remembered that she had prayed that God would keep using him and that God will bless him with a wife who will support his ministry when it’s time to get married. Not knowing she would be the wife she was actually praying about!
She knew she only liked him then, not having any relationship motive in mind, she knew her spirit always draw him to her and she would just find herself praying for him, his ministry and marriage.
“Hmm… she sighed deeply as she thought, God knew he was going to be my husband, God knew I liked him and He gave him to me because it was in accordance to His will.
She smiled at the thought. She had heard testimonies of sisters that said they didn’t love the men God gave them at first but with time, they grew to love them, even her best friend Peju, who is now happily married to bro Tobi; she didn’t like him at all, it took confirmations and her decision to yield to Gods will for her to say yes.
"But now, my friend is chilling with her man. She remembered peju had confessed to her that “Thank God she said yes to him, thank God I didn’t judge him with his looks that what he carried on the inside worth more than gold.
“So now, she believed that it’s not everyone that will have the testimony of “I didn’t like him at first” because God had given her the man she liked, which she didn’t know was in line with Gods will until now.
“Indeed, God’s ways are not ours and His thoughts are deep and wide.
**********
She walked into the pastor’s office immediately the wedding ended and told the pastor all what God had told her while the program was on.
“Hmmm… God is good! “You see, Most times God plants a desire in our heart which is in accordance with his will. Pastor mike said with excitement written over his face. Let’s keep trusting God to finish what He had started. But yes! As you were sharing the word you received, the Holy Spirit confirmed it to me that what you heard was really from God and it’s His will.
“Let’s pray. He held hands with her as they prayed.

“Hello, sis Folakemi!
She had gone to the mall, to get some stuffs and also to relax with a movie and of course, what’s a movie without some popcorn and a cold drink?
She turned to the side to see who had called her when she saw “Sayo” standing and smiling beside her in a navy blue top and a cream colored knicker.
“It’s good to see you bro sayo! What brings you here this afternoon? She said as she smiled slightly at him. She had seen him some couple of times in church after his brother’s wedding and they had got talking. Nothing much though just re-introduced themselves at the first encounter and other encounters were just normal greetings.
He smiled briefly. Well, I am here to see a movie that just hit the cinema. “Calling heaven’s phone” and you?
Wow…I came to get some stuffs and to see the movie too. She smiled shyly.
Okay... He drawled. I have a movie partner then. He said as he nodded to a seat at a corner of the hall, let’s sit there till it’s time for the movie.
“Yeah I have been wanting to share some stuffs with you, and I think this is a good opportunity to talk.
Okay, go ahead. I’m all ears. She replied.
Okay, so the first time I saw you which was at Lasu when you came to meet your choir coordinator, the Lord told me straight up that you are my wife but He told me back then that it wasn’t the right time to talk to you about it.
The next time I saw you was at the music festival night, seeing you render that powerful song caused a stirring in my heart and God said “That is your wife” but He said I still shouldn’t tell you yet because you are not ready. I haven’t heard you sing before and it was my brother that invited me for the program so that’s why I was present. “I just knew I had found a woman that will walk the path of destiny with me.
Immediately, I told my elder brother, he walked up to you after the service to make your acquaintance to speed up the process for me “In his words”. He said as he used his hands to draw a quote in the air.
I’m sorry I didn’t give your brother a listening ear that day, she said as she remembered how she had walked out on him and called him an agent of darkness. Not knowing he was a bridge to her marital breakthrough she had been trusting God for.
The phrase “God said she wasn’t ready” humbled her as she thought of it. She truly wanted a man, she was ready to be engaged, but she was aiming for another thing, her mind was somewhere else and most importantly, she still had some unfinished battles to settle.
“No no, its fine, you don’t have to be sorry. It’s one of those things. He smiled.
But afterwards, he continued, when I felt it was time to come and share my convictions, I dreamt and saw some forces and they warned me never to try it. So I went to pastor mike and told him I was convinced that you are my wife and I had wanted to tell you but some forces were hindering me.
“Thank you Jesus! Thank you for delivering me. She said in her heart, not surprised at what sayo had said because she knew the forces he was referring to
.
But now, he continued with a big smile, God gave me a sign that it’s time to come meet you and share my convictions. Matter of fact, He was the one that directed me to watch it at this mall. He finished off with conviction and peace written all over his face.
“So Folakemi Adunola Adesanya, he called out her name in full as he held her hands, looking straight into her eyes. You are the good thing I have found and the favor I have received from the Father. I want you to walk this path of purpose and destiny with me, I want our union to raise godly seeds, and I want our home and union to be a blessing to our generation and of kingdom benefit to God. Please, will you be my wife?
“This is it Lord! She said with gratefulness in her heart.
“Sayo Ayokunle, I am convinced as well, and it will be an honor to walk this path with you. She answered as they both smiled and hugged each other.
