THE CONTAINER
EPISODE 4
She waited a few minutes more, nothing happened. Wait, is he not supposed to be rehearsing his proposal lines already? Or should I say proposing already? She questioned in her heart, slightly frowning and obviously not liking the way things are playing out.
She felt embarrassed just standing there and looking at him as though she was paused to be a zombie. She rolled her eyeball in confusion of not knowing what to do. Obviously I can’t force him to talk, the best option is to leave and save myself from more embarrassment.
She walked away from him, intentionally stamping her heels on the concrete floor maybe that will make him understand that she is leaving.
As she got into the car and turned on the ignition, he gently tapped on the side glass of the driver’s seat as he motioned with his right hand for her to wind down the glass.
Her heart raced faster than usual; turning herself up again from the disappointment mood to the excitement mood.
She quickly slide down the glass as poked out her neck to listen to what he wanted to say.
Eeeerm kemi, while the ministration was going on earlier, I mean while you were ministering I was led to come and meet you and talk to you about somethings.
Earlier this year, while I was still abroad, God told me that there’s something he wants me to do, but I won’t be the only one to do it; He said He has been preparing some lady to take up the responsibility together with me.
So while you were singing, God told me you are the person He’s talking about. I had wanted to walk up to you immediately the programme came to an end but as I was coming, I saw a brother standing behind you; so I decided to excuse you and wait for you outside.
“That killjoy and agent of darkness wanted to stop my joy and testimony but ha! All thanks to the Almighty who stood by her and never allowed the plans of her enemies to stand. She said to herself, blessing God from the bottom of her heart.
So when I saw you coming, I was short of words, I didn’t know what to say or how to bring myself to say it and that’s basically because we just met and barging in on you for the first time with “God says” led me to the decision to let you be and talk to you about it some other time when we get familiar with each other a bit.
“No! Please, don’t come to that conclusion abeg, barging in on me ke? Lailai. You don’t have to wait another day just rush me. She shouted in her heart, looking helpless and deeply anxious.
She doesn’t like being in this type of condition, it has always been her prayer that God should help her to be still and not be anxious.
She had pasted that scripture in Philippians 4:6 on her bedside table and every part of her house so that wherever she is inside the house she will keep remembering what that verse says that “Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.
But right now, the verse flooded her heart quite alright but it’s really not working for her because she is really anxious.
But my spirit was asking me to tell you, he continued, which brought some flicker of hope in her eyes; and after much struggling with the Holy Spirit, I decided to come out plain. I’m glad I said yes to the Holy spirit on time before you drove out; otherwise it would have been a rough day for me as my spirit won’t allow me rest for rejecting the Holy Spirit.
She finally heaved a sigh of relieve at what he just said. Thank you Holy Spirit for pushing him to talk! It’s confirms to me the more that you are really in this with us. She kept answering every of his words in her heart as her eyes beamed with joy.
But now, he continued again, I’m sure of what God had said and I’m convinced that this is His will. I’m hoping that you will take your time as well to think about it and pray. You need to be convinced about it too. He said as he looked deep into her eyes as if he wants to read her soul and make sure she understands every single thing he was trying to say.
Folake was so grateful that she hasn’t stepped out of her car, because with all these words that Ademiju is releasing with so much seriousness and conviction, her legs would have definitely chickened out. She could feel tears building up in the corners of her eyes but no! There’s no way she’s going to allow them flow freely yet until he has hit the nail on those golden words.
So Folakemi...will you help me fulfil this responsibility by…
Her eyes kept nodding, widely opened in anticipation and beckoning him with her eyes to keep it coming.
Bro Ademiju? A voice called out to him from the hall, distracting him from what he was saying.
