THE BROTHERHOOD! MY PROPHECY!
Episode 15
Okey's rank was lowered, in THE BROTHERHOOD! A fresh assignment was given to him. "FIND AND KILL THE PROMISED CHILD," Okey was ordered. For about five months, Okey couldn't tell where his wife was. She had changed her phone number and informed no one about her whereabouts. Instead, she placed a call to anyone she seemed fit using different phone numbers. She never repeated any number just in case anyone should try tracking her with the number.
Okey had never been so stranded and confused all his life; not even when he was still trying to find his feet in life and struggling.
Mama Ejima, Okey's mom was having series of very scary dreams and she called her son severally to ascertain if all was well with him but Okey dismissed all her claims, giving her false hope. Okey knew his mom's dreams were always true. She had dreamt many years back about all that happened to her children before they happened, only that she probably didn't do what was necessary, to avert the harm.
Though he knew he needed help, Okey wouldn't bring himself to let his mom in on the matter at stake. He feared it might spring up another health challenge, considering her past health and life's challenges.
Okey tried reaching Chike and Okwy his friends, but was told they were married and had relocated abroad with their families. Obviously, things had turned around for them.
THE BROTHERHOOD was not making matters any funnier. They threatened Okey, day and night with death or insanity, if he failed to carry out the task. For the first time, the powers of THE BROTHERHOOD had been challenged and Okey was the reason behind it. So they were not going to take matters, lying down.
Okey knew he had messed up his life. If only he had been more patient like Chike and Okwy, things wouldn't have gotten that bad.
Oh! The Prophecy! He remembered the prophecy ha had been given when he was way younger and knew very little... He also remembered the words of the pastor of the church where he had once missed his way, into.
Following the voice of the choristers. He had told him that God had a divine assignment for him. He also remembered how his mom, Mama Ejima had told him how a stranger she met on the road, on her way to the market, when she was pregnant of him told her that she was carrying A PROMISED CHILD. And that his destiny was to serve God behind the pulpit and that he was the light of the family. But that the Foundational powers that took his father away would fight against him, to mess up the Prophecy. It was Okey's destiny to begin serving God from his young age.
She was therefore advised to begin in time, to specially guide Okey into knowing God from his tender age. Through him, God would extend a seal of preservation over all his siblings.
Just then, it dawned on Okey that he must have been the reason why death took all his siblings, leaving only him. Probably, God was giving him more chances to ammend his ways and return to his Calling.
But how come he was just beginning to realize all that?
Had he been too busy for God. Okey wept in his thoughts. He had met his doom, finally!
