“I will go with you!” I heard Tunde sword saying to me…

“As?” I asked him

“Your business p@rtner/ investor/ philanthropist!” He said

I laughed so loud…

“Sir, do you have the money to buy six months free water supply for the

people of Mororo!”

 

“I don’t have the money personally but I know people who can sponsor it!”

He said, “Do you permit me to follow you?” He asked and I bec@m£ indecisive.

“Well, you don’t have a choice, I can’t leave you to go there on your own!” He

said smiling…

 

“I like it when you smile!” I said and before I could say Jesus is Lord, I hvgged

him to comfort him…

“Don’t worry, you will heal, I still miss my husband but I encourage myself to give this work my best because that will be the consolation my husband will have if he is looking from above! “ I sincerely meant no harm, but instant remembr@nce hit me… I quic-kly pu-ll-ed away from him…

 

“I am really sorry sir!”

“It’s Okay Adenike!” He said smiling “Thank you!

****************

I returned home after my 6 months training. My parents could testify I had changed…I wasn’t in a rush to go to Mororo, I started scouting for sponsors.

We had two options; one to either create a borehole to serve everyone… or we get sponsors who can sponsor bringing in water for the people.

 

My brothers and most of the members of my church contributed towards it.

Pastor friends also promised to do something. Then the D day c@m£, the day of appearing in Mororo.

 

Tunde Sword had become my good friend. We had created a Water Company. We named it “Ghost Run”. People questioned why we would name a water business Ghost Run!

We had two meanings of Ghost Run and we pres£nted the one that was applicable…

 

To the plain minded people, we tell them that “Dirty water causes Death and

therefore our water which is purified makes the Ghost spirit (Death) Runaway…

This was our popular meaning for Ghost Run, but between Tunde Sword and I ,we knew GHOST RUN was an abbreviation of a prayer…

“HOLY GHOST RUN THrou-gh THE VEINS OF ANYONE WHO DRINKS

THIS WATER”…

 

Tunde Sword went to Mororo town without me . He and some workers we employed went straight to the palace. As they got into Mororo, that thick darkness was so strong. I was advised to stay back so I won’t be recognized…

 

I was comfortable with that and I took it upon myself to intercede for the

group that went…

Tunde Sword took over the conversation telling the King that he and the team

members were Health conscious people who wanted to get rid of the death toll as-sociated with unclean water. The king was excited at the news.

He said, it was the de-sire of the village to have a clean water system. He tasted one of

the bottle water brou-ght and he was refreshed…

Tunde Sword told him, as p@rt of our philanthropic work we will be bringing

in clean water twice every month… He told them, a woman was the br@in behind the idea and due to her busy schedule she could not come to the

“Hey! Keep quiet, how come all these healings did not take place before
Ghost Run water c@m£ into Mororo. Since this water c@m£ into this village,
we ha-rd ly hear the cries of those witchcraft birds… Segun’s mother was
telling me yesterday that ever since the water c@m£ into Mororo, her second
son Adeolu has not been falling ill, Have you forgotten that it was the first
cu-p of Ghost Run water that Bisi drank that made the 12 years pregnancy she
had been carrying to be delivered.” A furious woman said to one of the
Adegbile twin…
Bunmi, The priestess of Mororo showed up in their midst…Everyone moved
away from the reservoir in fear…
Tunde Sword said the moment he saw her, he started speaking in ton-gues…
“I was told you have been giving us Adenike’s water, is that true?” The
priestess asked
“Yes ma!” Tunde answered boldly
“Then I will not re-lease you until I see her! Guards seize him!” Tunde Sword
was taken from the reservoir. The men who c@m£ with Tunde ran off into the
vehicle and sped off. The water tankers also st©pped giving water and left
Mororo.
The instant, the workers reached out to me on phone that Tunde Sword had
been captured in Mororo, I almost had a heart attack. I couldn’t afford to lose
another man over Mororo…
Instead of running off to Mororo as I would have done normally, I did what
Tunde would have advised me to do. I settled down before God in prayer
asking God for direction…
“Only Fools doubt proofs, Go and show them my wonders. When Jesus appeared in the city, John the Baptist wanted to be sure if he was truly the
messiah. John s£nt his disciples to ask Jesus if he was the Messiah, when the
disciples questioned Jesus, he didn’t utter any statement rather he kept on
performing his signs, wonders and Miracles. When the disciples saw the …Miracles, they turned back. Invariably, the works of Jesus spoke for him…
Go to Mororo and let my wonders speak for you…”
Those words gave me strength to proceed, I called my parents, brothers and
some prayer warrior friends. I asked them to join me in prayers. I even called
Reme far away in the north. These were some things I had learnt from
Tunde; the power of collective prayers.
I spoke in ton-gues almost all throu-ghout the journey to Mororo… I kept
declaring that I become a fire too h0t for the witches and evil powers of
Mororo to t©uçh.
I got to Mororo early the next morning and as I got into the gate , the
Adegbile Sisters double-crossed me at the village gate…
“You! You almost pu-ll-ed a smart one on us, we thought we had gotten rid of
you only for you to crawl in like a snake that you are…”
“ I am not a snake, I am the child of the Living God!, I am the carrier of God’s
power and God’s Fire, anywhere I go, the pres£nce of God goes ahead of me
and comes behind me…” I declared boldly
“Wait ooo? What do you stand to gain in this town, you are not a child of the
soil so what do you want?”
“I am a child of the soil, because my father is the owner of heaven and earth.
The earth is of the Lord and the fullness thereof, the World and all they that
dwell therein. Mororo is p@rt of the earth that belongs to my father, and it is
therefore my business to care about Mororo, the people of Mororo are p@rt
of God’s creation and I am here as God’s daughter to lead them back to their
God….”
By this time the villagers had started coming out one after the other…
“Over our dead bodies will you enter Mororo…!”
“You have said it, before God whom I stand, I will enter Mororo today, not I
but Christ that lives in me… God is a Spirit and those that worsh!pHim must
worsh!pHim in truth and in Spirit…. I worsh!pGod and I am a Spirit and
you cannot get hold of a Spirit. I am unst©ppable…. Adegbile Sisters you have
chos£n to make yourselves a human Gate standing before me from entering
Mororo therefore I declare this against you… Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.Who is
he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty– he is the King of glory.
Therefore, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I step into Mororo…” I
said these words without knowing the repercussion….
