JUST A LITTLE SIN
Episode 58
By AMAH’S HEART
He looked confused after the whole narration.
I didn’t want to feel any pity for him initially but after listening to him, I felt really bad.
“I don’t know what exactly to say to you because I tried to warn you but you never listened…”
He nodded without a word
“What would you have me do? I’m a minister in my church and she was also and my pastor promised to take up our wedding expenses after seeing how much we were into each other…”
He robbed a hand on his head and continued
“… Tomasi, I thought I knew her enough and didn’t want a third party to get involved in my personal life, my relationship. In our marriage counseling clas-swe were thought not to let an outsider come between us..”
“Was I an outsider, a third party that want to come between your relationship? I was only looking out for you as my brother but I guess you were so much into Chumi and your pastor’s promises that you allowed yourself to be dëcéived..”
He looked up at me and I didn’t try to filter words as I told him how gullible he was
“…even when the handwriting was glaring you still couldn’t read. You kept going back to her, well now she’s gone and your pastor is no more interested in sponsoring the wedding. He has seen who she truly is. Even God gave us series of guidlines on how to be wise as a serpent. Even when you’re in love, don’t allow yourself to become a foøl for love. Is obvious you’re a victim of scam because this is a real scam. Now that you have no job and your Pastor has taken away your church ministry title after finding out that you have been cohabitating with Chumi.. you’re back to square one. Chumi is gone to wherever, God knows who she is with after leaving you penniless and hopeless, not leaving out the church embarra-ssment. is quiet embarra-ssing for you Yoara. Well, I’m glad that your eyes is clear, you can see better..”
He heaved a heavy sigh and said “women are terrible, they’re all the same…”
I waved a finger to his face and said “no, no, no Yoara. Women are not the same. I have been very fortunate to meet few women who had proven otherwise. Is as if they’re specially handmade by God. I’m alive today because of a woman God hand picked for me and she is my mother. Another who knows me from nowhere saved my life, her name is Lydia and I still haven’t been able to stay a day without the thought of another woman who is God’s gift to me, her name is Omie. Their are still few others too that I have come across that had proven this your notion wrøng…”
He sighed again, sat de-eply into the already thorn cushion
“You’re right, I can’t because of Chumi cancel many good women out there. Just take a look at me Tomasi, Chumi stepped into my life and wrecked me apart. I was serious with the things of God, focused like a man who’s targeted on a great mission, heaven was the goal. I was running my race well untill she stepped into my life, I still try to be serious with my spiritual walk but countless times I fell and did not stop falling until the spirit of God departed from my life. Now, I’m like a déãd man walking…”
“That’s what happened to a man without vision. Nothing can make me lose balance in this race of mine. Not money because I have been offered many riches yet I declined, not women and never any thing of this world. I have come a long way Yoara. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. You didn’t have the fear of God because if you do, you will resist the devil and he will flee from you…”
Yoara began to laugh, I was confused and wondered why he was laughing so hard
He suddenly began to speak with agony in his voice
“Just imagine, imagine a whole me has been brou-ght to nothing, to the extent is you now, Tomasi that’s trying to remind me the ways of God. Imagine you are the one I always cry to for help. Now that I have no wife, no ministry, no Job and even my house rent expired over six months and my landlord has served me a quick notice. No money to feed or take care of some life necessity, imagine is you Tom that’s coming to my rescue. you’re the very person I was praying for and trying to preach to back then so that you will give your life to God. You’re the same person now counting my sins to my face and preaching to me…”
He took another de-ep breath “…How the might fell..”
I stood
“Yoara, the bible said let those who thinks they stand take heed before they fall. Remember that it is written, the race is not for the swift, the battle is not for the strong, time and chance happened to them all. Get up let’s pack up some of your stuffs out of here..”
” Thank you so much Tomasi. I don’t know what I could have done without you in my life, it’s as if God brou-ght you to this city because of me. To help and instruct me, it used to appear like I was the one sent to help you initially but opposite is the case here. I’m forever grateful Tom for your many kindness towards me and not abandoning me despite how Chumi treated you in the past…”
“Thank God for everything. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, God’s grace is still abound and you will be lifted up again. My place is big enough for two of us and feeding isn’t an issue. You will bounced back again Yoara, God seeing how repentant that you’re will give you a new and better begining and this time, you will cherish it with all you got because you can’t be a foøl twice…”
Yoara nodded in agreement.
I moved his things to my car, I recently acquired a Lexus Jeep which will help me in my business and personal life too
He moved in with me and started all over.
I introduced him to our fellowship members.
Omie traveled and won’t be back soon, he couldn’t meet her immediately.
I began Job hunt for him and he on the other hand was doing the same.
I visited Lydia one weekend, I wanted to show Yoara one of the few good women I was very opportuned to know.
Lydia was very please to have us.
I have sent money to her twice ever since I started work, she pleaded with me not to send again.
God have blessed me beyond measure, I wanted to also bless those who without counting that I was a nobody helped me during my helpless situation.
While visiting, I bought foodstuffs and other few toiletries for her
We went with taxi because my car was going throu-ghmaintainance.
She was surprised to see alot of goodies.
Since I hardly visit, atleast anytime I happened to go, I won’t appear empty handed.
I introduced Yoara and they both got talking.
We even had a little time for Bible study and there was alot to learn.
Yoara still has it in him, I was very happy with the way he speaks authoritative over the things of God.
I had lot to learn and even Lydia was really impressed.
Yoara was finding his footing again and that pleased me alot.
She became a great friend of Yoara and even visited us which she never did when I was living alone.
Yoara later got a job and resumed immediately.
Life was turning out well again for him and that’s when Chumi started calling.
