Episode 1
Many a times people go throu-ghlife’s challenges without knowing the source of their problem.
This was the case of my husband, Kashim Olabisi.
We were married for ten years without an issue. We had done many tests and sought for all manner
of medical help to no avail. We even did IVF twice but they both failed. The second IVF we did in the US
that failed was the first failure in Dr James Daniel’s career. All medical reports pointed to the fact that
we were both medically fit to have children but none came after ten years.
Beside childlessness, we had loads of problems in our marriage. My marriage with Kashim was like hell
loosed on us. We attem-pted many spiritualists and prayer houses but we couldn’t get help. Our search
for a baby led us into many abominable things and almost stole our salvation from us. The frustration,
humiliation and anxiety was unspeakable. It was so bad that one of the prophets we went to had to
sleep with me right in the prese-nce of my husband and then asked my husband to do same thereafter.
@$$uring us that his sp-erm will prepare the ground for my husband’s own to fertilize my egg to enable
me conceive. That month, I didn’t get pregnant and he advised we have to repeat the process all over.
Words cannot explain the pain and shame I went throu-gh, having s-x with a man I didn’t love in the
prese-nce of my husband just because I wanted a child. It will be difficult to believe the second process
didn’t give the de-sired result and we had to do it again. This time for one week non stop. I was having
s-x with two men at the same time, one after the other in front of each other for eight days.
Toyin my friend, was my saviour who ab-orted the fourth attempt. We had scheduled to meet with
Prophet Adelaja for two weeks on the same process when I confided in Toyin. What? Toyin screamed.
Are you out of your se-nses, Nneka? How can you accept to do this dirty thing because you wanted a
child? Don’t you know only God gives children and his time is the best? But why? Why? Why? She asked
and bursted into bitter tears. This time you are not going back to that wicked and heartless prophet
again. In fact, I will get him arrested and make sure he rots in jail. We looked at each other and cried
bitterly. Toyin knew what I had been throu-ghall these years while trusting God for a child.
Please, Toyin you can’t arrest the man. You want everyone to know what had happened between us?
You would obviously make me and my husband a laughing stock. Please drop the idea of arresting him, I
begged Toyin. She quickly adjusted her emotion and reasoned with me. You are right Nneka but that
man must not go unpunished. Do you know how many other women he must have mo-lested like you?
He must pay for his evil acts. She rained curses on him in her bitterness. But how we both agreed with
my husband to do such an abomination is yet a mystery to me.
I will take you to my pastor tomorrow for prayer and counseling. You may also nee-d to carry out some
medical checks on yourself. I just hope he hasn’t infected you with dangerous diseases! It will never be
well with him in Jesus name. This man will not know peace, his children and children’s children will pay
for his evil deeds. I hate him, Toyin boiled. She picked her phone and called her pastor, booking an
appointment with him. I will be coming with my friend, Nneka. Tomorrow was like a year to me, I wished
we could start going immediately.
But how am I going to tell my husband that we are not seeing Prophet
Ade but Toyin’s pastor? I began to think how to convince my husband.
What’s on your mind?

Episode 2
Toyin took us to her pastor at Felele, an outskirt of the town. Good morning sir, this is Nneka and her
husband, the one I spoke to you about. We greeted the pastor at the same time. He was an elderly man
in his 60s but he was still full of life. He greeted us and asked us to narrate our challenges. I took the
stage because my husband is an extrovert and he ha-rdly give details. While I was talking the pastor kept
shaking his head in pity
After all my stories, he said the next thing was confession of our sins. I knew we were going to have
problem with that because I doubt if my husband would want the old man to hear what we did with
Prophet Ade. I raised my head and starred at my husband and he turned his face away, then I got the
signal. The old man was patiently waiting for us to confess our sins. I was the one who broke the silence,
sir we are all liars, we keep malice sometimes, we skip our tithe most times and other sins we do daily
unconsciously. The man sighed loudly and began to speak in tongues.
I was not wayward but I knew I have committed an ab-ortion before and I have never told my husband
about it. Not even Toyin knew anything about the ab-ortion. It was a secret I had kept for a long time.
Could that be the source of our childlessness baba wants us to confess? But how can God block my
wo-mb for just one ab-ortion yet I have seen many who lived a dirty lives with several ab-ortions who have
good marriage and wonderful children today. This can’t be the reason, I waved the thoughts away. Baba
insisted he won’t pray for us if we don’t confess the main sin that had rendered us childless. I excused
my husband, is there anything you know that we nee-d to confess? Nothing more than what I have told
you before, he replied.
We went back to baba, sir we have thought and flashed back but can’t remember anything we did that
we have not confessed. He didn’t argue with us but refused to pray for us, not even a word of prayer. As we drove back home my husband did not utter a word as he drove. I turned from the front seat and
looked at Toyin, I thought you said your pastor is powerful and he could help us? Yes, she replied. He
had helped many other people and the testimonies are everywhere.
Deaconess Adeola waited for fifteen years before she met with papa and today she has been blessed
with two boys. Dr Ogun and his wife had no child when they joined our church five years ago but today
they have a son. I believe your case won’t be different. The same God who did for Deaconess Adeola and
Dr Ogun will do it for you. She encouraged us.
When we got home that night we ba-rely talked to each other over the issue. I didn’t want K@$$im to ask
me if I have something I haven’t confessed. I have told him everything about my paste except for the
ab-ortion. I really don’t want him to know about the ab-ortion because his reaction maybe devastating.
K@$$im is a very jealous man who cannot withstand knowing his wife was ever impregnated by someone
he knew. I have confessed to God and he has forgiven me, I can’t open the old wound again. God is
merciful and he will not let my sins of many years to be remembered.
K@$$im’s silence and indifference over what Toyin’s pastor told us worried me a lot but “he that comes
to equity must come with clean hands”. I can’t accuse him when I myself is guilty. For one week, none
of us said anything about it. Should I go back to baba behind my husband to confess my ab-ortion? What
if he insisted I must do the confession before my husband? I can’t stay another year without having my
own baby. I nee-d to carry my own child soon. I will summon courage today and talk to K@$$im over what
baba said. Maybe he has something he’s hiding, he too must confess it.
