CHAPTER 21 –
© MOMOH GIFT
Bro Ayo! Are you sure mummy will be fine? I feel so scared right now.
I don’t want to lose mummy. I don’t want her to die. I love mummy so much. I can’t bear to watch her die.
Please do something bro Ayo. Mummy must not die. You must not sit down and watch mummy die in that place. Please do something bro Ayo.
Calm down, Ola. I understand you perfectly my dear kid sister.
Trust me! I know how you feel but I need you to be strong right now for mummy.
Please don’t allow fear to envelop you.
Don’t allow negative thoughts to cloud your mind.
Try your best to be positive. I know mummy will be fine even though I don’t know how. I have signed every document given to me by the doctor and right now, they have begun treatment already.
They will do their best. Don’t worry my dear sister.
Bro Ayo! Doctors can only care but can’t heal. That was what was written at the hospital’s entrance. Why are you relying so much on them right now? They said, “We care, but God heals.” That means we shouldn’t depend on them over mummy’s life right now but on God.
Bro Ayo! Why are you still sitting down here thinking when we should be praying for her together? I remember those days when you were on campus, you told me that God can do everything and whatever I want I should always ask from Him. You used to pray for people in our compound those days too.
I remembered how you prayed for Mama Grace that day when all hope was lost and she received her healing.
So what has changed now? Why are you not praying for mummy to receive her healing?
Hmmm! That was then my dear kid sister.
A lot has changed already that you won’t understand. I have gone too far already.
Too far? What do you mean too far? I don’t understand.
Yes! You won’t understand my dear. Just forget about those days and focus more on what is happening right now…
Hello! Doctor! Please how is my mum? How is she doing? Is she alright? Is she doing well?
Please calm down Mr. Ayo. I and my team are still trying our best. But you really need to pray because so far, she hasn’t been responding to treatment. She has been unconscious since they brought her here.
Her chances of survival are very slim. You need to intercede on her behalf because as you know, we don’t have the powers in our hands to heal. Thank you. Please excuse me.
Ah! No! Jesus help my mum. She must not die oh God. Please help my mummy. Ola lay on the floor shouting and praying at the same time.
I am really so confused right now. Oh! No! This is not happening to my family. My mum must not die.
* *. *. Oh, Faithful father! This has been more than three days since we started the search for our lost son. We have searched so many places yet no positive response. Everywhere we asked about the orphanage, no one seemed to know because it has been for a very long period of time.
A lot of changes have happened in that city and so many new people are now residing in that area.
How are we going to locate our son? You promised to direct us to where he is but till now we haven’t located him yet.
Elder Emmanuel spoke quietly as he sat all alone in the sitting room while his wife was busy cooking in the kitchen.
You shall find him. The Holy Spirit responded immediately.
Honey! I almost forgot oh. Thank God I remember now. Sis Kemi was discharged from the hospital yesterday and I was told that she is healed totally.
Indeed! Our God is really amazing. We just prayed for her a few days ago and the sickness which the doctor can’t even find was cured miraculously. This God is powerful.
Mrs. Emmanuel spoke happily as she relaxed on a cushion close to her husband.
Yes! Our God is awesome. He is a great healer. I am so happy to hear this news.
All glory be to God.
But dear! I am so eager to see our son. I want to see what he really looks like.
To be honest, have not been so anxious like this in life before. I just pray we will see him soon.
Amen! I also feel the same way, my dear husband. But just like you will always say “trust God at all times and He will never disappoint you”. That is what we should do in this season of our life.
Though it’s really tough right now seeing the same lady who caused us to be separated from our only child to be with her own child happily. I know that God’s presence is surely with us and He will connect us with our lost son soonest.
We don’t need to give the devil any chance in our lives right now.
Let’s stop worrying and feeling sad rather let our mouth be filled with praise that our son is alive and not dead.
My husband! I believe strongly that our son is alive and doing exploits for God.
God who has given us this good news about our son whom we thought was dead many years ago will guide our steps to find him at the right time. Let’s just keep praying and also interceding for him that God will continue to protect him wherever he is and that no evil shall befall him.
Amen! God bless you, my lovely wife.
Indeed! You are a blessing to me.
Thanks for all your encouragement and prayers in times of weakness. I am grateful to God for giving you to me.
Amen! Thank you, darling.
You are Welcome, my dear. We need to prepare for the mid-week service today. You know we have not been in church for days now since we traveled to that community in search of our son. So let’s prepare to go to church this evening even though no one cares to call to ask if everything was fine but let’s not allow all that to bother us anymore.
We are not serving a man but God.
Let’s prepare very fast though we still have three more hours before the time. I really don’t want us to be late at all.
Kpom! Kpom! Kpom!
Someone is at the door, my dear. Were you expecting anyone today sweetheart?
Not at all my dear. Anyway, let me check the person so as not to keep him or her waiting for too long.
Alright go and check my dear.
Wow! See who we have here honey! Please come and see our wonderful guest oh.
Good evening sir and ma
Oh! Good evening to you bro Ade. Please do come inside. This is really amazing. I’m so happy to see you in our house today. God bless you, my son. How are you doing and how is work?
I’m doing great sir and work is fine as well. I just felt in my spirit to check on you mummy and daddy. I noticed you were absent from church on Sunday and also yesterday as well. So rather than calling on the phone to check on you, I felt led to come visit the house.
That’s very thoughtful of you my dear son.
Oh! Your parents are so blessed to have you as a son.
You are such a spirit-filled and caring brother.
God bless you so much, my dear. This really means so much to me and my wife. We are indeed very grateful.
Amen and all thanks to God. Though I really don’t have parents I know that wherever they are right now, they will be happy for me.
Oh! So sorry about that dear son.
Thank you, sir.
I want you to know my dear son and brother that you are cherished a lot by God.
He loves you so much and He is very proud of you too.
He is happy seeing you do His will and being serious about His works. Please no matter what you face in life, just keep trusting in God because He will never disappoint you.
The devil will want to try his best to distract you but never give him a chance. Keep on fixing your gaze on God and He will never put you to shame. Continue to trust God even when you don’t understand what He is doing due to situations in life.
Always praise and appreciate God and avoid complaining or murmuring. The Lord shall continue to be with you.
Amen! I’m grateful to you Daddy for these great words of encouragement. God bless you abundantly sir.
Amen! God bless you too my son.
My son! Though you have lost your parents, I need you to always remember that you have a heavenly Father who loves you more than you can imagine. So always do the things that will make Him very happy and proud of you. And I stand in the gap of your mother today and I decree into your life that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Every plan of the enemies over your life shall not stand and shall never come to pass.
The presence of God will never depart from you.
The Lord shall be your strength in times of weakness.
He shall shield you and defend you.
I decree that your life shall never know sorrow. The Lord shall give you unending joy and happiness at all times. So shall it be in Jesus name.
Amen! Amen! Amen! In Jesus name. Thank you, mummy.
It is well with you my dear son.
Amen! Thank you so much mummy and daddy.
Hmmm! This is the very first time I have received such wonderful encouragement and blessings from a father and mother.
Now I understand why I was led to come here. These prayers and advice are indeed timely.
They are really what I need in this season of my life right now.
Thank you so much sir and ma. You have done for me today what my biological parents were unable to do for me due to circumstances of life but the Lord who has been so faithful and loving has used you today to do this in my life. This day shall never be forgotten in my life. Thank you so much sir and ma. God bless you abundantly.
Amen! They both chorused.
I would like to take my leave now. I have an appointment with someone. Thanks again for everything.
You are always welcome my dear. We really appreciate you for coming. We are very excited today. The Lord has put smiles on our faces through your visit. Though you might not understand, this visit of yours is really significant. Thank you so much, dear.
Elder Emmanuel patted Ade on his back as they followed him outside.
Goodbye Daddy and mummy
Goodbye son.
They waved Ade with smiles on their faces until he was out of sight then they walked hands in hands into their home.
Wow! I’m so happy darling. This is really a sign that we will see our son very soon. God is preparing us already. See how he was referring to us as daddy and mummy. I feel so blessed every time I see that young man.
That is how our own son shall walk into this house very soon.
I really can’t wait to hug him in my arms.
It would be an unforgettable experience for us.
Mrs. Emmanuel spoke with so much excitement.
Sure, my dear. Just like I said earlier, this young man’s visit is really significant. I feel our son is very close to us and also very spiritual just like him. Maybe that is what the Lord is trying to show us. Oh! I shall be very happy and grateful to God if our son is very compassionate about the things of God like bro Ade. I pray he would fear and reverence God just like this young man. That’s my wish and prayers
Same here with me my dear husband. It is well. God will do it for us in His own best time and place. We will keep on trusting Him.
Yes! He will never fail us.

*. * *
Wow! Thank you Father for what you did for me today. I am really happy. I felt true love through those couples. I really can’t explain but the bond I felt while they were praying for me was very strong. Oh! It was beautiful. So this is what all my friends who had Godly parents had been enjoying so far. They are indeed very lucky.
Well! I may not have had such a wonderful opportunity but I’m grateful Lord for everyone you have used for me since childhood most especially papa Daniel who has been just like a father to all the orphans in that orphanage home.
He ensured we all went to school and had a better life. Lord continue to bless Him the more.
Also, Lord, I pray that you will bless this beautiful couple abundantly. Hear their heart cry and grant all their heart desires. Cause them to laugh and to dance. Take away their shame and cloth them with your garment of glory.
Give them that great testimony that will shock the world at large. Continue to bless them Father.
Oh! I’m really happy. I felt that fatherly and motherly love that I had always desired for so long.
I really love how they are so serious about the work of God. I wish they were my parents.
