"Mummy,2corinthians 7 vs 10 says;For Godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation not to be repented of:but the sorrow of the world worketh death.I thank God that your heart is pricked already"
"Tonye you are right,i just feel empty"
"Trust me,God will fill the vacuum.I want to tell you a short story"
"I am all ears son"Clara replied.Tonye cleared his throat.
"There is a girl who was loved and patted by her parents so she did all she could to please them until one day they took her to a zoo.They took her round the zoo until they got to the Python section where she saw two beautiful eggs and she asked her parents to buy it for her.Her parents called the zoo attendant and requested to buy the eggs.The attendant warned them that it was python eggs but the girl insisted they get it for her so her parents bought it for her never wanting to offend her"Tonye paused to see Clara disposition.
"..Oh my! continue"Clara urged him.Tonye nodded.
"To your mansion ma"?the cheuffer asked
"yes"Clara replied.

catching up to this story brought the lyrics of "mercy said no" to my memory and lying on my bed I am just singing it. For the many times we chose to abuse grace, mercy was always abundant. Thanks pre4

Thanks for the update

"The girl took the eggs home and took good care of it.one day the eggs broke open and two baby pythons came out.the girl made them her pets,they ate together.her parents kept pleading with her until one day they woke up to find out that the snakes have killed her"Tonye ended.
Clara was close to tears."This girl is too stubborn"she said.
"Mum you are the girl.The pythons os that sin,the loose life you are toying with"Tonye replied.Clara was quiet through out the remaining drive to her mansions in Cummer Avenue,Ontario Canada.
~~~
The call was sudden so she took the domestic flight to Port Hacourt.She was dialing his number but it wasnt ringing through.So she searched for the number that gave her the information and dialed it.It went through and someone answered from tje other end.
"Mrs Beecroft,Tunde mum speaking.Iam in Port hacourt like you ordered.So which hospital"she asked.
"Well spring Hospital,Bonny Island".
She boarded a taxi and arrived at the hospital only to see Tunde lying in state.

*CONTINUED*
Tunde was breathing with oxygem already as she was shocked to see him in such state.She met with the doctor who told her that he had heart and lung disease.
"But how doctor"she exclaimed.
"We ran a test on him after he was rushed in here by some good samaritan who picked him up at the gate of his house.We found out that his heart and lungs have been damaged beyond repair and the changes of him living is slim because he had been taking lot of harmful drugs like cocaine and heroin.So we called you his mother through his phone to sign an undertaking that if he dies,you will take responsibility"the doctor emphasised."Excuse me madam"he said and left the theatre.Mrs Beecroft sank on the bed beside lifeless Tunde.She touched him.
"Tunde i warned you if this life.You blasphemed your own creator so who will help you now.Sciences theories cannot unravel the mysteries around God existence Tunde.You claimed you read about the Book of common era that Zeuzeus is Jesus.Tunde you blasphemed God"She cried.

*CONTINUED*
"Tunde let those books you read save you now.let the knowledge and logic you claim you have acquired save you now.I studied philosophy in school but i was never swayed with sciences.Science is limited and does not necessarily provide solutions or answers to all mysteries.Look at you now Tunde now.The man who was organising shows telling people God does not exist.Tunde help yourself now"Mrs Beecroft wailed.She noticed tears coming out of his eyes.
"mum,ask God to forgive me please"he mumbled.
Mrs Beecroft screamed in amazement.
"Tunde are you ready to give your life to Christ now that you are under duress"
"Mummy yes.Ask him to help me,i dont want to die now"he vaguely replied.
Mrs Beecroft flew out of the office in joy to call the doctor.
"Doctor,my son is talking"she screamed as she ran along,in spite of her age she ran faster.
The doctor followed her and was shocked to see an already dead man resuscitating back to life.he had never seen such in his life as a doctor.He started treatment ASAP.

God is great!!!

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
-Lord I come to you
Let my heart be changed,renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I have found in you.
Lord i have come to know
The weeknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away by The power of your Love
~~Hold me closer
Let your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to your side
And as i wait
I'll rise up like thr eagle
And i will soar with you
Your Spirit lead me on
In the power of your Love

THE choirs voices pierced down hearts and connects the soul to God.It was an altar call,which was after the clergy had preached.
Tonye played the guitar in the choir and was the one leading the white canadian choirs.Their white robes look heavenly.
Tonye opened his eyes only to see Clara kneeling before the altar crying just like other converts on the altar.His heart leapt for joy.He had spent years on his knees praying for her salvation and here she was.
He wiped away the tears which threathened to drop and continue singing.
Some minutes later,the white pastor anointed the converts as Born Again.

The Heavens rejoice when lost souls come back home. Thank God for Clara and Tunde

*CONTINUED*
After service that day,they drove home in silence as Clara was still sobbing silently.Tonye simply ignored her as their cheuffeur sped home.
~~~~
He dropped his bag on the golden coloured cushion and went to look for Clara.He met her reading Bible in her roof top chambers.
"Mum good afternoon"he greeted and sat on the bed she was lying on.
"How was lectures today at school"Clara asked raising her eyes up from the Bible.
"Very fine just that i hate those drivers coming to pick me up from school like a kindergaten kid"Tonye replied bringing out a rough magazine from his winter coat.
"Sorry,whether you like it or not,you remain a kid to me"
"I love you mum"
"Love you too.Mum this articles said you rejected an dinner invitation from Drake and Emilie-Claire Barlow"Tonye said pushing the magazine to her.
"Yeah i did.I also declined being futured in Ed sheeran new hit song"Clara replied and sat up on the bed.
"May i know why"
"I dont want to be among them anylonger now i met Christ again"Clara replied

*CONTINUED*
"Mummy,did i hear you well"Tonye exclaimed.
"Yes son.My life is this way because i left his ways to go after the things of this world.Tonye i realised that with all my billions of dollars i have no peace.Material things and fame does not guarantee peace my son"Clara replied and rest her head on Tonye's shoulder.
"I am happy for you mum.I also learnt something from your life"
"What did you learn"
"I learnt that human cannot win a soul except with the Holy Spirit convicting them.We dont force God on anyone rather we should pray for their salvation so that God can arrest them himself in his convenient time like he did to Apostle Paul in the Bible but all the same i am so happy for you"Tonye relayed and hugged her.Clara phone rang,it was Folarin.
"Hello broda mi"
"Clara come back home as soon as possible.I want to see you personally"
"why"
"Come back first.Its not what we can talk on phone,and bring that boy along with you"Folarin replied and hung up.
They stayed for two more days and flew back home

*CONTINUED*
Two days after returning to Nigeria,Folarin and a middle aged man visited them at Clara bungalow duplex in Port Hacourt.
Tonye was not around,he went to the gym.
Clara entertained her brother and his friend.They cracked a lot of jokes before Folarin pounced on the reason they visited.
"You mean the girl you impregnated gave birth to a boy and that boy is Tonye,is that all you are trying to say"Clara screamed.She was heartbroken.So this man wants to collect the source of her joy`Tonye'.
"Yes.I have made a lot of enquiries"David was talking before Tonye sauntered in in his sport attire.He greeted them and rushed to peck Clara.He was about retiring to his room when Clara asked him to sit down.He hesitated before he sat down.Clara noticed the striking semblance between father and son.
"This is your father Tonye"Clara announced.Tonye jerked.
"This man?but grandma told me my dad died in a cult clash"Tonye asked in shock.
"I did not die like people claimed,i escaped unhurt through a friend"David repied

*CONTINUED*
"If the reason you came is to carry me away from my mother then you must be joking.there is only one mother i have and this is her sitting beside me and for my dad,that one died in a cult clash.period!!"Tonye fired hotly.
"Calm down Tonye and hear them out"Clara admonished.
"I dont want to hear them out,c'mon tell me where was this man when i and grandma was suffering untold hardship?,where was he when my dream was almost shattered?,now that i have found a solace for my soul,you are now here to claim me as your son.No never"Tonye ranted on.Clara was shocked because she have never seen him so angry this way.
"Calm down Tonye,this is just God divine plan for you all.All things work together food for those who love him and are called according to his purpose"Folarin came in in his usual calm manner.This worked on Tonye because he covered his face in his palm in tears.
"I am sorry son,i am back to make it up tp you son.I am a failed father,i know but find a place in your heart to forgive me"David said

"Tonye this is your father,you need to go now"Clara said trying to fight back her tears.
"Mummy!what!did i hear you say that?alright i agree this is my father but i cant leave you now you need me most.You made me whom i am today,how can i just leave now,moreover we are used to each other so no one can put asunder.Mum i love you so much,dont let me go with him.My life will be nothing without you"Tonye wept like a baby.This made Clara to start crying now.
David got up and knelt before Tonye and Clara.
"I promise not to seperate you too but i am happy i have a son.I am sorry for the pains i caused you guys.I will leave and never return"David said and got up to go.Folarin got up too to follow David when Tonye voice stopped them.
"Daddy"Tonye called out.
David turned in shock."Did you just called me daddy"he asked.
"Yes i did.God had commanded us to forgive even our enemies so why wont i forgive you.I forgive you and take you as my dad"Tonye said and hugged him.Clara cleaned her tears in suprise.

Hmmm. If only we listen to conscience, we will avoid so many things. We allow sin deaden the voice of conscience and stray from Gods part. Thanks Pre4

Thanks sir.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
After Tonye graduated and did his masters in the U.S.A,he came back to Nigeria to work.
Clara and David built a multi billion hospital for him,their goodwill brought him success as the hospital was one of the best in Africa,Tonye employed a lot of foreign and national medical experts and he rendered free medical care to the less privileged.
Presently Tonye packed his jeep inside the garage and went into the house where he met Clara watching A Church Programme by her renowned evangelist Brother Folarin and his[Tonye] father David Anjolaoluwa.She was spending some weeks in his house.
He hugged her and dropped a wine on the table.
"Today is for enjoyment,its a day of celebration"he sang as he ran upstairs.
"Tonye what do you mean"Clara called after him but got no reply so she focused on her T.V.
A hand touched her,she jerked and turned.It was David kneeling with a beautiful flower and a ring.
"Marry me Clara.I love you"he said.
"What"Clara exclaimed at the exhilarating scene,it was a shock

*CONTINUED*
"How could you Dave,i am married"Clara said and got up from the sofa..
"Just say yes mummy"Tonye voice was heard.She turned and saw him glaring at her in ebullience.
"I am barren Dave"Clara replied.
"We have a son already"
"Yes i am your son mum.Just say yes to dad"Tonye pleaded.
Clara picked up her phones and ran upstairs.
"That made her feel bad"Tonye said to David.
"Dont worry,she will come over it"Dave replied and returned to his room.
~~~~
"Mummy,i am sorry if we pissed you off yesterday"Tonye said to her when he noticed she was awake.
"Its nothing Son"Clara replied and withdraw.
"Dad prepared breakfast for us"Tonye announced.
"No,he shouldn't have done that.oops i woke up a little bit late.He should be on his way to Garki to attend the Christian Association of Nigeria conference meeting"Clara said and came off the bed.
"Dont worry dad is downstairs waiting,lets go and meet him"Tonye coaxed.
Clara quickly brushed and bathed and went downstairs to eat breakfast,It was served by David.

Wow

Me I go love oo. Trials, tribulations, temptations must come but if we stand in/with Christ, we find that even when they press us hard, we are not disturbed.

Yes because these trials and tribulations are to examine our stand with Christ.

*CONTINUED*
As soon as she caught sight of David,she blushed.
"Good morning David"She said and approached the dining table.Dave adjusted the chair for her to sit.She hesitated and sat down.
"Pray on the food Emmanuel"David said.
"Father i thank you for this food,i ask that you bless it in Jesus name"Tonye said.
"Amen"they all chorused.
David served the food.
"Are you not going to meeting today"Clara asked.
"It have been rescheduled to hold this night,because from the meeting,i and Folarin will be going to Thailand for an outreach after the meeting"David said and spooned the eggs into his mouth.
"Again dad,wont you just settled down and face your family"
"Which family Tonye"
"Me and mum"Tonye replied.He did not see Clara hand coming so she slapped him.Clara and David laughed.
"ouch!mum,dont pretend you dont love dad"This time around he got up to avoid any spanking.
"Tonye is sick"David said.
"He need psychiatric attention"Clara buttressed.
"I have a psychiatric doctor in my hospital. Dad loves mum too"

*CONTINUED*
Clara got up and chased him round the sitting room,he ran to meet David who caught him.Clara caught him and hit him playfully.
"You are a spoilt child"Clara laughed.
"You and grandma spoilt me"Tonye replied laughing too as they returned to the dining table.
"Mum,dad.I should be leaving now"Tonye said and got up from the table.
"So soon"David asked.
"Yes dad,a man needs medical attention.he is suffering from prostate cancer so i need to attend to him at the theatre"Tonye replied and moved to the sitting room where he picked up his briefcase.
"Dad,wont you come to pray in my hospital today with your team"He asked as he got to the door.
"I should be at garki this night.I am not sure i can make it today"Dave replied.
"Dad.The meeting you will be attending will start around Ten in the night.You are using mum private jet,so it will take you two hours from here to garki or less.You can meet up at my hospital today"
"Mr Calculator.Thats true anyway,i have heard.I will try to come"Dave replied.

CHAPTER THIRTY
As the Limousine parked into Tonye hospital,The bodyguard opened the door as Dave and Clara alighted from the vehicle.
They entered into the hospital as people thronged them but their bodyguards warded them off.
Dave and Clara sauntered into the large waiting room where the praying teams were waiting for them.
Tonye emerged from the operating theatre and approached towards them.
"Dad welcome.I want you to pray for the man i told you in the morning.We have operated this man but life seems to be leaving this man.i dont want him to die because he is the only one his poor daughter have"Tonye said downcasted.
"okay let me see him"David said and followed Tonye back to the theatre while Clara started the prayer meeting with the praying team.
As soon as they entered the theatre,David went to the bedside.A young lady about twenty five sat beside the lifeless body.
David looked at the man,the face looked familiar.It was Victor,his school friend that saved him from cult clash many years ago.

*CONTINUED*
David knelt down and prayed for the man.It was a short prayer.The lifeless body sneezed and got up.The lady was shocked at the miracle and thanked David profusely.Tonye immediately commenced treatment to resuscitate him.Some minutes later when Tonye confirmed he was recuperating.David decided to attend to him.He met the man talking to his beautiful daughter.
"Victor Osuagwu"David called.
"Yes,your face looks familiar.I cant recollect"The man replied.
"This is David Anjolaoluwa"
"Dave!so you are alive.Thank God oh"the man screamed and they hugged.
"Dad,did you know him"Tonye asked.
"yes,he was the guy i told you that rescued me.He was the one who gave me money to go and meet his uncle at Kaduna but i lost the address"David explained.
"Wow this God is really marvellous"Clara exclaimed.
"Thank God for using you to heal me.So how did you survived that ordeal since my uncle claimed he did not see you"Victor asked.
"It is a long story bro but it was divine arrangement"David replied.
"I can see it"
