One of the female students came in and informed Anu that a man was asking of her and Righteous. Anu and Righteous went to see who the man was, then they discovered that it was Doctor Sam, Mrs Mabel's husband. They were not expecting him at all. It was like they've forgotten about his case.
There he was standing beside his car, with a sober look. As soon as they got to where he was, he looked up at them, and shook his head.
"I've not been able to sleep well since the incidence. Moreover, when we met last time, we had an unfinished business to attend to.
I have been waiting on God to make my wife change her attitude but she seemed relaxed and unperbertubed. I think I have a fault here." He confessed.
"What do you mean sir?" Righteous demanded.
"I have been covering up her weakness which has affected me badly. Now I have to speak to people,who can help us out of our predicament. We've pretended for too long. We need to unveil the masquerade right away. Enough of our secrecy."
"Okay sir, we quite understand you, but how do we come in? We are damn too young to meddle in your affairs." Anu asked him, wondering why he chose to come over to young ladies, when there are more matured people around.
"Good question,young lady. I need to clear the air about what led me into such unholy desire. I was pushed too hard. Thank God that you never did allow me to do a thing. I could have picked up another lady but you taught me a grave lesson."
"Thank God, but what is our business with all this?" Righteous uttered.
"Hear my story. Allow me to unburden myself and push all these behind me.
Can you believe that I have not slept with my wife for more than a year?"
"Sir, are you kidding us?" Their eyes widened in unbelief.
"Not at all. Your hero, my wife refused to release or should I say, submit her body to me."
"Hey, and she spoke so much about obedience, submission." Righteous declared looking dazed.
"That is just hypocrisy. She does not live the Word of God at all. Don't you think that God will judge her harshly if I do not expose her weaknesses.?"
"You are somehow right." Anu decided to support his move.
"But sir, how do you intend to do this?" Anu asked feeling bothered. Such a great and honourable woman should be helped and not exposed. Women should learn to support themselves without shouting it on the house top.
"That is where you both come in. Listen to me, you will do us good if you can get her to confess. She has a good reputation with men, our pastor and his wife, but building a good image and not living in the image of Christ is faulty. I have fallen in sin emotionally severally. I masturbate almost everyday. I'm dying slowly, can't you get it?" His eyes was pleading, he could no longer hold it in anymore.
"But how do we come in?" Righteous uttered.
"Use your discretion, you can do it for me and for us, even for yourselves. You believe in her,so help her to be sane.Go to her as if you needed counseling, use what you have heard from me to bring out hidden things from her. I will be leaving now. Thank you very much in advance." Doctor Sam left without saying anything again. He couldn't even greet us properly, he was weighed down by the guilt of sin.
Most couples and church members are living a hypocritical lives no doubt. Wow, this is pathetic. We want to have good reputation from men, but not before God. We have reputation, but not character. We need to come to God with a sincere mind, and stop pretending to be righteous, but be really righteous.
Both Anu and Righteous could not move for almost ten minutes. They were dazed, discouraged, and dejected. How could they handle this? Will they be able to touch this woman of grace?
Righteous held Anu's hands as soon as they got to the room and prayed for the couple with tears brimming from their faces. Compassion welled up in their hearts, as they poured all their heart before God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above that which they ask or think.
They held three days of prayers and fasting for the worthy course, praying for wisdom and spiritual understanding to speak to her. By the fourth day, they had called her for a counseling session with her, so they went to her office in the cool evening around four.
Will they succeed in this assignment? Well, it's good to find out how the whole thing turned out to be.
Both of them became jittery, as soon as she told them to come inside. You can say that they died five times. Here they were, sitting face to face with this eloquent, powerful, woman of God.
Anu started to cough and cough. The woman rushed out to get her a warm water to sip, before she became okay.
"Thank you very much ma!" Anu declared, grateful for being so kind.
Kind?
