FIFTEEN

"Dont near him" the pastor stopped Lizzy as she wanted to touch Dèyí, they continued to pray, after another 15 minutes, Dèyí began to vomit some strange and fetish things like palm kernel tied with red cloth, and all sorts, he sat up on the floor crying endlessly, they surrounded him still praying, pastor pulled him up;
"Say after me," he told Dèyí. His voice made others to stop praying and concentrated on what was going to happen next;
"I, you mention your name" the pastor said.
"I, Dèyí, the son of Òrìṣátọ́lá...
"Declare Jesus as my Lord and Saviour...
"And I accept him into my heart today...
"To dominate and take charge of my life...
"I believe he died for me on the cross...
"Thank you Jesus for saving me" Dèyí declared accordingly, then the pastor prayed for him and others. The prayer warrior brother had already packed and burnt everything Dèyí vomited, the time was some minutes past 9pm.
***
* A ti da mi lare... (I've been justified)
* A ti segun fun mi... (I've conquered)
* Erin lo ku mi ku... (I can now rejoice/laugh)
* Mo ti te Satani pa... (I've matched Satan to death)

Rose, Lizzy and Paul continued to sing the song of victory purposely for Dèyí to learn it and sing with them, in no time he was already singing with them shyly. The pastor instructed them to go home with Dèyí and come back the following day.

Lizzy left for her house while Rose and Paul took Dèyí home;
"Congratulations, you're now a new creature, the old you has gone" Paul and Rose would tell Dèyí.
12 noon the following day, (Saturday), Lizzy was already with them, preparing to go and meet the pastor, they left home and got to church before 1pm;

"Oh! Brother..." The pastor was trying to remember Dèyí's name.
"...Dèyí sir" Rose cut in.
"Yea, brother Dèyí. Congratulations. I said you should come today for counselling and others. What is your full name please?" The pastor asked.
"Ogudeyi Òrìṣátọ́lá sir" Dèyí responded.
"Ogundeyi Òrìṣátọ́lá?... Have you seen me before somewhere?" The pastor asked.
"Errrm... You look familiar but the kind of life I was living before, I couldn't meet pastors. I dont think I've met you anywhere before."
"You look like someone I know as well but the person has dread." The pastor doubted
"Maybe he is the one, he recently cut his dread" Paul intervened.
"Really? Do you know Okódilé town?" The pastor asked.
"Yes yes. That's my hometown. Are you pastor Samuel?" Dèyí was trying to place his face.
"Hmmmmmm... Yes. This is pastor Samuel. The man of God you whipped with cane at Okódilé during your Egungun festival some years back."
Dèyí went flat on the floor, prostrating holding pastor Sam's legs;
"Please forgive me sir, I did not know it was bad, forgive me." Dèyí pleaded in tears.
"Of course, stand up stand up, I've forgiven you long time ago. Who am I not to forgive you, and I am sure God has forgiven you as well." Pastor Sam replied smiling.
"Wait wait wait. Which Dèyí is this please? Dèyí-Àjànà?" Lizzy asked realizing whom Dèyí was.
"Y..e..s... I thought from the very first day that I have seen this face before." Dèyí said trying to remember where. Lizzy burst out crying;
"You are a wicked person. Why wont you know me, I am Kolawole Elizabeth Olayinka, the daughter of an army man your mysteriously impregnated back then which led to my relocation to the city" she wept more.
"Are you serious? The guy you told me about then that he was the champion of your town? Ah! You have really done a lot of evils uncle Dèyí, in fact, you're supposed to be thrown into lions' den" Rose uttered angrily.

Dèyí was busy swimming in the pool of his tears.
"Sister Yinka. Check the book of Matthew 6:12, it says '...and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us...', the verses 14 and 15 of the same chapter say further; 'for if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if ye not forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses'. So, Yinka, you have to forgive and forget so that the God Almighty can forgive you." Pastor Sam.
"Wow! God is unpredictable! So, the people you seemed to have hurt are the ones God still used for your rescue. Pastor, you wont believe that it was Lizzy that met Dèyí at the bus stop and preached to him. If anyone told me that Dèyí in years to come would give his life to Christ, I would argue. Wow!" Paul expressed while pastor Sam smiled.
"Tell me whom God cant arrest when He is ready to. Have you forgotten about Saul in the Bible? This is not an ordinary repentance, it is an arrest, in fact, THE IRRESISTIBLE ARREST. He encountered Jesus in form of Olayinka, she was just the body containing the Son of Man to speak to him." The pastor explained.
"Oh oh oh oh... Maybe that's the meaning of the dream he had the morning before he met Lizzy in the evening" Paul narrated the dream to them;
"God is really Aseyiowu (the One who does what He likes). He actually showed him he was going to be arrested even before the arrest, but he was too blind to notice it." Pastor Sam explained.
"I thank God for his life anyway, he is now in Christ, nothing is impossible." Rose.
Dèyí rose and knelt before Olayinka, held her two hands weeping;
"Olayinka, I want you to find a space in your heart and forgive me. As the pastor said earlier, know that it is the old me that offended you, there is now a new me, take your mind off the past as the old things have passed out" he missed the statement, Rose smiled and corrected;
"Old things have passed away" Rose corrected while Dèyí continued.
"You're the path that led to my salvation. I curse the day I hurt you by defiling you out of your will" Dèyí wept. "Did you deliver the pregnancy as a baby?" He asked amidst tears, while Olayinka too couldn't stop her tears.
"No. I didn't. My father pressurized me to get rid of it and it was after that, that I gave my life to Christ through my friend, Roseline who was my companion then when I first got to the city" Olayinka narrated.
"Oh! Painful! I'm very sorry I caused you pains. Those ladies I was calling my wives back then have gone their ways now, I lost my father as well." Dèyí felt sober.
"What! Àjànà could die? Unbelievable!" Olayinka was surprised.
"Since I didn't marry any of those ladies lawfully, I didn't bother to find them, none of them gave me any child, in fact I am just getting to know now that it was a wasting of time. I used to think causing troubles everywhere was the best, I never knew that someone has to be selective in his/her ways in life because sometimes, being peaceful is far better than being right." Dèyí apologized regretfully.
"It's OK uncle Dèyí. Sorry for all that has happened to you too. I actually prayed that God should not let you rest until I forgive you, now, wholeheartedly, I have forgiven you" Olayinka.
"Thank you so much" Dèyí turned from Olayinka and faced everyone;
"I dont know how to appreciate, you all have had impact in my path to knowing Jesus. All I can say is Thank You All." Dèyí concluded and prostrated before pastor Sam, he prayed for him and all of them, they returned home.

Since the change in Dèyí's life, Olayinka has been his follow up, making sure she established him in Christ and see him winning souls too. She had been very nice to him, she made sure Dèyí would be present in every church service, they became five and six. Three months later, Dèyí found it difficult to do without Olayinka, he was already having romantic feelings fovings, he had moved to a self contained apartment of his own, Dèyí couldn't wait anymore, on this day, Olayinka was in Dèyí's apartment waiting for him to dress up for them to go to one church programme;
"...Olayinka I have this to say, I am sorry for diverting our conversation but I cant help it anymore. I have nothing to prolong here, please marry me." He came out brave. Olayinka looked up in amazement, looked at Dèyí, picked uand exited the apartment.
