Abena's passion story
Chapter 8
"Nana Abena Nyanteh" he said walking to me.
Really? This man.
Raymond pulled me up.
And I folded my arms looking at the man as he approaches me.
All eyes were on me now.
Wow.. I love the attention.
"How does he know my name?" I whispered to the
woman sitting by me.
"That's Prophet Othniel, he came all the way from
Takoradi to visit the church today", she said.
ππππ
"Nana Abena, can you please step out and come with
me".
I didn't move an inch.
Raymond held my hand and pulled me out.
πππππ
And I had no option than to follow the prophet or pastor or
whatever they call him.
Ray followed me.
And I turned back and said "I'll get back at you".
I was now standing in front of the church.
"My dear count yourself blessed today"
"Why?"
"I was praying and the holy spirit revealed you to me.
You're lost my dear".
"You've been called for a special purpose on earth, but
you're leading yourself towards the wrong path"
Tell me about it.
"I know your mum is dead, and no one knows the where
about of your dad"
π³π³π³π³π³
I looked at Ray and he also had the same look.
"My dear you've been misleading yourself. It's time to
give your life to Christ".
ππππ
"And what will I benefit from that, why did he let my
mum die and my dad disappear and my aunt to treat me badly? He left me alone
even as a kid"
"Every thing happens for a reason".
"Don't give me that crap, Reason?? so all the bad
stuffs that happened to me in life are for a reason? What stupid reason is
that?"
"I promise you, that If you give your life to Christ
and accept him as your personal lord and saviour, the holy spirit will be
instilled in you and he'll guide you. And I know you've been lonely, you've
been searching for everlasting happiness but you can't find it with your way of
life"
πππππππͺπͺπͺπͺ
"Just stop it! Stop it! I don't know who you are? Or
where you got your information from, but please don't talk about my way of
life. If I don't do what I do, how do you expect me to cope in life. I have no
parents or family or friends like you all do"
I said facing the congregation.
"Did you ever hear the story of Job, or Joseph
and....."
"I don't need your stories , you and your God should
just let me be" πͺπͺπͺπͺ
I was about to run off and Ray held me.
"Abena..."
"Just leave me alone"πͺπͺ
"Let her be". The prophet said and I took off
πͺπͺπͺπ©ππΌππΌππΌππΌππΌππΌ
My eyes caught up with those two giggling girls and I glared
at them, Before leaving the church.
I didn't know where I was heading to but I need to get away
from here.
My emotions were all over meππ
My head was achingπ£π£πͺπͺπͺπ©π©
I got to a stop and realized that I didn't have anything on
me, no phone, purse or money.
ππππ
I just sat in front of a shop and cried my eye balls out.
I didn't know what to do or who turn to.
For once in my life time I opened my mouth and said
something to God.
"Are you truly there? Why did you leave me to be alone
all my life??"
πππππππππ
I sat there thinking and crying.
For a reason that I knew nothing about, I stood up and
walked back to the church.
When I got there, I walked to the front of the church and
all eyes were on me.
The pastor paused what he was saying and turned to me, then
he said to the congregation, "what did I tell you? She has returned. Isn't
it? Our lord is a great God".
The congregation started clapping and I just broke down
there still crying.
I was totally lost and confused....
