Revenge
Revenge
She cried to God in prayer daily
Asking for revenge
Telling Him what should happen
To the person
That made him a widow
She was certain
Someone killed him
And that person must be killed
That was all on her mind
She wanted the person
To feel her pain
She decided to go into
Seven days prayer
With just one prayer point
"Lord let him that made me a widow die suddenly "
On the third day into the prayer
She heard the voice
"Are you God?
Can you fight your battle?
Were the past battle won by you or by God?
Let go and move on"
She was unhappy
About letting go
But she knows
Obedience is better than sacrifice
From the moment she let go
Revelations started coming in
It dawned on her
That his uncle was involved
In his death
The same day she knew
The uncle called her
Apologising indirectly
She asked him for what?
He just told her to calm down
He said he has some gifts to give her
He stays in Ibadan
While she stays in Lagos
She gave all reasons
Not to see him
He insisted on coming
To avoid seeing him
She went to her sister's place
She refused to pick his call afterwards
She didn't go back home until late evening
The uncle brought seven different foodstuff
She didn't know
What prompted her to count
Yam Rice Beans Garri Noodles
Yam-flour and plantain
Tied in a sack
Kept at the flat entrance
She called her next door neighbour
Asked her if she wanted the stuff
Neighbour didn't mind
She took the sack of food
The puzzle started fitting in
The uncle tampered with the car
To cause the accident
He took the car for his use
From the time
They got to ibadan
Till they left
He had plenty of time
He poisoned her husband
When he visited him at home
He came when she was not around
He sent the nanny out
Claiming he wanted his pastor
To pray and annoint her husband
That was the last time
Her husband was seen alive
According to the nanny
Her husband "slept"
After the visitors left
She left all for God to judge
Since God had told her
The battle is not hers
Within two years
Of knowing the killer
She went through some battles
The uncle threatened her
In her dream
She called on her hub
To come chase him away
And he did
The uncle ran away
Another time
She dreamt
That the uncle
Sent his son
To come use charm on her
The son refused
On the ground that
They had been told
She is strong
And can not be charmed
Sometimes during her drive
On the third mainland bridge
To clients office on the island
She will hear some evil voices
Telling her to jump into the water
Below the bridge
She would charge into prayer immediately
Turn up her worship song
Which she listens to
Every time she drives
Until the evil voice died
On one occasion
She had an accident
It was almost fatal
She was with her two boys
She hit the middle divider on the expressway
On ikorodu road
The car was flung into the middle of the express
Speeding vehicles averted the crash expected to happen
All she kept saying
Under her breath was
"Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!"
One man got down from his vehicle
Knocked on her window till she turned it down
The man spoke softly to her
Asked if she was hurt
Told her to come down with her boys
The man called his mechanic
To help her arrange to pull the car away from the road
The man also gave her money
For fare back home
He was like an angel
Sent by God
To rescue her from that situation
She didn't even get his number
To thank him again the following day
After two years
On her way home from work one day
She met the uncle's son
On ojota pedestrian bridge
He was going to ibadan
The young man told her
His father died few months back
She was surprised
She felt like shouting
Halleluyah!
He went on to explain
That he was suffering from
Diabetes but the doctor
Didn't detect it on time
It got worse before they knew
It was too late
To save him
He died
Such is life
God said he will fight her battle
He did in his own time
She has always trusted God
For everything
