Immediately Mrs. Fola got home she placed a call across to her pastor and in short time he was around with his wife. She explained everything to them without missing out any part, after the explanation the pastor made her realize the danger of delay if something is not quickly done. Though Mrs Fola was ready for their rebuke and chastisement but was surprised at the way they were handling the issue. Prayers began without delay and all Mrs Fola could ask for was mercy over her life and her daughter. The prayer band in the church were available as usual for any situations that warrant their intervention, hence they swung into action without any delay. Mrs. Fola preferred to stay at her pastor’s house for the prayers which was accepted by them, during the last vigil the Lord spoke through one of the members in the group to sound a warning to Mrs. Fola not to go back to Lagos that God will fight the battle himself. This revelation gave consolation to her when she heard. Back at...

Mrs Fola as commonly called ‘Hope all is well with you? She quickly responded and said nothing but she will be closing soon’ okay ma it is well with you ma. Nig...

The journey was smooth and Mrs Folagbade went back feeling lonely but she braced herself up after reading some verse of the scripture and slept off. Weeks turns into month when she had seen her daughter last. Ademide is the chapel prefect of her school due to some distinct qualities seen in her, she is a Godly, obedience and matured young lady and this made her different from her collegue. Everyone wants to be her friend and she is always ready to give her time whenever she is needed. Being the chapel prefect she has a very good voice and this made it easy for her to gain everyone attention whenever she leads the worship section. Missing her quiet time has never happened since she resumed the hostel, her mum has made her believe that God is the first person to communicate with early in the morning if she wants to go far in life. These attribute of communicating to God first is known by everyone in the same block with her, it another time for Friday fellowship as usual she ...
