PART 44
“RECKLESS REKKY”
©️Opeyemi O. Akintunde
It was a beautiful Monday morning… Mayowa woke up in fear, despite the reassuring presence of God. He looked at his wife and son who were still fast asleep.
“Please God, don’t let me lose any of them in Jesus name. “
He looked at his work phone. It was switched off. Pastor Joe had told him to turn it off.
He had the temptation to try to help God by calling Tony to beg him not to go out for any fowl that day, but he resisted the temptation.
He promised himself to concentrate on the prayers. They had been told to get to the church premises by 8am.
He tapped Mirabel from sleep.
“Babe, it’s 6:30 already, we should get ready for the prayers!”

At exactly 8am as Rekky, Martins , Tams, Tams’ mother were walking into the church premises, Mayowa and his family were walking into the church from the entrance that led to the chalet.
“Sh…t” Mayowa said on seeing Rekky.
“What is it?” Mirabel asked.
“Nothing! That lady looks like someone terrible I knew in the past!”
“One of your old girlfriends!” Mirabel teased.
“No!”
“Ok ooo!, but she must have been very terrible to get that reaction from you!”
“Very terrible!”
“There is no one God can not forgive, at least that’s why we are here as well!”
Mayowa and his family sat directly behind Martins and Rekky.
Pastor Joe mounted the pulpit and gave a short word about deliverance. He emphasized on the importance of genuine salvation as a prerequisite for deliverance. He spoke on faith and the need to forgive if God was to deliver a man completely.
In between the message, Rekky kept looking backwards at Mayowa.
She swore she had met him somewhere before, but she couldn’t place it. Was it in a dream or in reality? She tried hard to remember. She had a strong deja vu feeling.
Suddenly, she looked back and said to Mayowa…
“Sir, do I know you from somewhere!”
“In this life or the one before?” Mayowa said jokingly.
Rekky smiled
Without telling a lie, he said…” If it’s in this life, definitely no, but maybe in the life before, we sure may have met! “
Martins looked back as well and joined in the joke by smiling…
“Ok!” Rekky said “I am sorry, I thought I had seen your face before!”
“Not a problem!”

Moko had returned home, but met his wife’s absence. He was told his wife had taken his two kids to Pastor Joe Akintunde’s church for their popular deliverance program.
Moko got into his car in a rage driving as fast as his car could move….
The moment he stepped in, Pastor Joe said…
“Welcome son of the Most High!”
Moko looked back expecting to see someone behind me…
“Welcome! God has been waiting for you!”
Moko was directed to the front seat.
Mayowa wanted the ground to swallow him up, He couldn’t believe Moko had trailed him to the church!
“I am here for my family!” Moko whispered to the Usher.
“You will see them after the service”.
***
The next four hours was an explosive time in the presence of God. The power of God passed through Rekky, Moko and other members who gave for the service. The strangers in their body left and they were delivered.
During the course of the deliverance, Pastor Joe saw the herbalist fighting him concerning Rekky, but an angel came in the midst and separated Rekky from the herbalist, stabbing him on his thigh with his sword.
Moko had multiple demons battling for his soul, Pastor Joe spent close to an hour praying on him as those demons contended heavily with him since Moko had not given his life to Christ.
After the service , Moko was surprised to see Mayowa.
“What are you doing here?” Moko asked.
“I saw an evil coming to us at the Ritualist Village and I was scared to meet you personally, so I decided to see Pastor Joe instead. “Mayowa said
“I didn’t know you will be here as well”.
“I guess it’s the hand of God, Joan saw the same thing you saw and the uncreated creator paid me a visit to release all the fowls and stay low for a while!” Moko said.
“And you did?” Mayowa asked.
“Yes, when He threatened to kill all that I have!”
“Thank God! So everyone has left the village?”
“Yes!”
Mayowa had tears running down his face. He had won the battle through prayer not by running from pillar to post!

“I said everyone get back inside your cell…Now!” Tony’s voice was ringing loud in the camp.
After they had dispersed in the morning, he turned back with two of his loyal boys. He wanted to continue the business. He had made so much money to stop the business…
***
As Joan drove off, she knew Tony was going to return to that village.
She brought out her phone and dialed the number of the inspector of police…
“Hello, I have an important information for you…..” Joan gave them the full description of the village.
After hanging up, she threw the phone into the Bush… She was going back home to start a new life.
***
The herbalist was groaning in pain at the Angel’s sword that cut deep into his thigh…
“You this Osmond, madness is your portion… for bringing me useless job, you shall be walking around without any use…” the herbalist cursed.
“Baba mii, sorry!” Ifatoyinbo said.
“Ifatoyinbo, go call me Baba pastor, tell him to come beg the angel that put his sword in my leg ooo,” the herbalist cried in pain. The pain was excruciating. He knew it was the elderly pastor on his street that could help him appeal to the angel standing by him.
***
Osmond got on the road and started screaming…
“One more pant!”
“One more pant!”
***
The police rounded the ritualists village up and captured Tony and the boys. They released all those that had been captured.
***
By 9pm, that night, Mayowa sat on the floor in the church weeping at how, his life and that of others had been saved because he committed everything into God’s hand.
