Pastor Mrs Johnson was rushed to the hospital.
Benita was by her side doing what she knows how to do best.
Rev was with the doctor.
Richard came into the ward and dragged Benita out.
– stay away from my mum you witch. You put her in this situation and you’re praying? I don’t want to ever see you near my mum. Take yourself and that bastard you’re carrying away from our lives. It is causing us so much.
– will you stop this nonsense zina. Because I know it’s you. My brother Richard can never hurt me. No matter what you do, I will not give up on Jesus!!!!!!!!!
– you are insane. Benita, you are insane. Stay away from my mum.
Rev came out from seeing the doctor.
He looked down.
Benita rushed to him
– dad, what? What is it? Please talk to me.
– hmmmm, my wife needs brain surgery immediately if I still want her alive. The specialist is not in town. Won’t be around until a day after tomorrow.
Making plans to fly her abroad, I don’t have much time. I can’t stand the thoughts of loosing my wife.
Richard walked in
– Benita, if I loose my mum, I will kill you.
Rev replied.
– Richard, if I loose my wife, I will demand her life from your hands. I will forget you are my only son and put you behind bars. If I knew your coming back to life was to take the life of my wife, I would not have prayed you back.
Right now, I just wish you never came back.
Benita was almost going crazy.
– oh Jesus no no no no, father come to my rescue. Holy spirit help me. (She rushed to her dad) dad please you have to calm down.
– Benita, Richard shouted, now my dad hates me because of you? I will deal with you. (He rushed out of the hospital)
-Dad Benita continued, please I beg you. Remember your good works and sacrifices for 25years in service to this great God. Dad, you taught me to be conscious of who I am anywhere I am, no matter the situation I find myself. It will help me act matured and react wisely. Dad, you taught me to always stay connected to the holy spirit during tough situations. You said it makes me tougher and the situation easier.
Reverend Johnson broke into tears.
– Benita, my wife is dying. The specialist is not here.
– dad, JESUS IS HERE. JEHOVAH RAPHA IS HERE. THE BALM OF GILEAD IS HERE. Where is your faith dad? We can’t fight without faith. Dad, Jesus can. If he can raise Lazarus, the widow’s son, even our own Richard right in this hospital, he is still our God.
BENITA began TO WORSHIP.
I’ve seen the God of wonders
Doing mighty things
Healing the oppressed
Setting captives free
He’s the lily of the valley
Bright and morning star
Ruler of all nations
Great and mighty king.
Heavens declare your great and mighty power
Heavens declare your great and mighty power
You are bigger than the biggest
Stronger than the strongest
Better than the best
You are the great I am
You are the great I am
You are the great I am
You are the great I am
She continued to worship

(Speaking in tongues)
Impossibility specialist
The specialist who is never on vacation
Doctor of all doctors.
Surgeon of all surgeon.
The hour has come.
As she prayed, the doctor tapped rev and said
“THE DOCTOR IS HERE. HE MISSED HIS FLIGHT. HE DIDN’T TRAVEL AGAIN.
Hail master Jesus!!!.
Pastor Mrs Johnson was taken into the theatre.
Benita went home to freshen up only to meet Richard outside with her file containing her certificate and other valid documents.
– I have been waiting for you to come home. So you will see your ruin with your own eyes.
– (laughing hard) is that fuel and matches? If God wanted you to burn it, Richard, you won’t have waited for me. So long as I am here, you can never set it ablaze.
As he was about to pour fuel on the file danladi shouted.
– small oga, I dey cook? My food i don burn finish o. Smoke I don full am for every where o
-Jeez, Richard shouted and quickly rushed inside.
Benita quickly picked her file and ran out of the compound to shola’s house.
Child of God, exercise authority!!!
