I recently concluded a two-volume fictional series called An Emotional Affair, to illustrate how easy it is for such a stronghold to take captive a marriage. It was also to illustrate that God is able and willing to deliver us all, and that we must be as gracious […]
Danny left the Church building still reeling from Bolu’s hug. He could still feel his big strong arms around him, squeezing him. Danny hadn’t been hugged like that before. It was…comforting. Strangely so. And what Bolu had said about God loving him was just…too much. He couldn’t take […]
Bolu fell back on the bed with relief, after concluding his call with Mr Williams. Thank God! Thank You, Jesus! He couldn’t believe his good fortune. Despite the efforts of the enemy, in the person of Daniel Akunne, he still had his job and his wife. He had […]
Lola’s instinct was to scream “Yes! Yes! Oh, yes… I’d rather be married to you any day…” Having spent long enough discontented in marriage, and knowing all the things Danny could offer her that Bolu couldn’t and wouldn’t for a while to come (if ever), the idea of […]
Bimbo Adetayo returned from her visit in the evening. She sensed the tension in the apartment the moment she returned. She asked Lola how her trip was. Lola said it was fine, but her eyes told a different story. She asked Bolu if everything was ok, and his response […]
The rain storm had continued through the night into the early morning. Flights into Lagos were postponed until further notice due to heavy flooding. Danny would be stuck in Port Harcourt until Sunday evening. He didn’t like that at all. With Lily’s phone intersected, he didn’t have a […]
Lola took a cab home from the airport. As much as she knew she had to give thanks to God for opening her eyes to see the truth about Danny, she did not want to do so. Rather she was angry with Him for bursting her bubble and interrupting […]
“Lily, Lily!” Lola heard her mother’s call, and felt her shaking her awake from her sleep. “Lily, come. Come quick!” Omotola called her sleeping child. “Mama…” Lola stirred from her sleep, and rubbed her eyes. She couldn’t believe it. It was really her mother! She pinched herself, because […]
Lola checked her phone for messages and missed calls when she was alone in her hotel room. Bolu had responded to her earlier message with “Great! Work’s been busy today. I’ll call you when I get home, so we can talk about how your day went.” However, there […]
“Uno-do’-tres-cuatro… I know you want me, you know I want ‘cha…” Pitbull’s song blared on the stereo, as the car engine started, indicating the radio channel Danny’s driver had been listening to, before he had picked up Danny and Lola. “Please can you change the station?” Lola asked, […]
Lola’s flight from Lagos landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja by quarter past ten on the Tuesday morning. She had only hand luggage, so she didn’t have to wait for any baggage at the baggage claim. She sent Bolu a message to tell him that […]
Bimbo Adetayo stayed up to wait for her son to return from his work. Lola had prepared the spare room for her mother-in-law before going to bed at 10pm. She’d packed up the food and kept Bolu’s in the microwave. Bolu came home to find his mother snoring […]
Danny chose a table by the poolside, which had a lovely view of the lagoon. He pulled a seat out for Lola, and she sat down without making a fuss. She’d observed how he had been greeted and how they had been treated on entry into the hotel, […]
Bolu and Lola had a morning devotional session together the following day. Bolu had dropped the ball on this special time in the past, as he was often in a hurry to get to work. Today, Bolu spent more time on prayer for their unity, and for understanding and love […]
Daniel Akunne was a man expert at getting what he wanted. With each new triumph, his confidence and skills grew. He had learnt early the virtue of patience and the art of cunning, and was resourceful in making the best use of all the gifts God had blessed him […]
