THE COSTLY MISTAKE : CHAPTERS 21 – TO THE END
BY GLORIA OLUWAFUNMIKE
Sade came across a book titled “WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR IN A PARTNER BEFORE GETTING MARRIED.”
After she was done reading the book, it was then she realized that she has been in the wrong marriage and she married the wrong man.
She even realized that Femi didn’t show his real self during their courtship. It was after she got married to him that he began to show his real self.
” What am I even thinking about? I never had a courtship with Femi. The wedding we did was just to cover my sh@me then because I was already pregnant before I got married. I wish I knew what I know now then, I wouldn’t have gotten married to Femi. Not only that I abandoned my purpose, but I didn’t marry the person which was meant for me.
Hmm… I was blindfolded with love and Femi’s affection for me but I never knew it was f@ke. Bro Samson was the one for me but I neglected him and went to do my own will.” Sade said to herself.

” I am so sorry Lord for neglecting your will to do mine. I have suffered the consequences and I am ready to right my wrongs if only you can give me another chance. I promise that I won’t go back to my v0mit. I am ready to rededicate my life to you, Lord. Please, have mercy on me…” Sade prayed to God cry!ng uncontrollably.
Futhermore, she was able to discover how she l0st her walk with God. She realized that she stopped spending enough time at God’s presence and this made her became obsessed with Femi’s love in the first place.
She had no justification as to what made her stop her walk with God but she begged God for mercy and she promised never to leave God’s presence no matter what the situation will be.
She realized she abandoned God’s purpose totally. She remembered how her main purpose is to raise youths for God and this was one of the reason why she became a teacher so that she will be able to carry out God’s divine purpose for her life but she could not do any of it.
It was at this point that she got stirred up in her spirit. She cr!ed unto God for mercy and God heard her prayers.

Her spiritual life was restored back and she was improving gradually in her walk with God. God gave her another chance for her to fulfill his purpose and this made her to begin a secondary school outreach in Ekiti where she talks to young teenagers and youth about the love of Christ and how to fulfill purpose in life.
She became happy once again and she felt peace surge through her heart and mind. It has been a long time since she felt that way.
She received an instruction from God that she should go back to the school where she resigned in Ibadan because that is where her purpose will be fulfilled.
She obeyed immediately because she didn’t want to take any chances this time around. So, she went back to Ibadan with her daughter and fortunately, she was accepted back to her former place of work.
Wumi, Sade’s friend is still a teacher in that same school. She didn’t resign from the school because her husband stays and work in Ibadan.

“Sade… Sade…” Sade heard someone calling her name as she was about to enter the school gate. She looked back to see who was calling her.
“Wumi…” Sade shouted when she saw that it was Wumi calling her.
She was happy seeing her friend Wumi. When she reached where she was, she hugged her tightly.
” I have missed you so much.” Wumi said still hugging Sade.
” I missed you too.” Sade answered.
” I was so sc@red that I may not see you again because the day you called me that you got married, I was worried because I realized that you still went back to Femi.
I was wondering what made you did and impromptu wedding without informing your best friend. I didn’t stop praying for you but here you are looking good.” Wumi said smiling.

” I am so sorry that I didn’t inform you about my marriage then. In fact, there is a lot to talk about. Let’s talk about it after closing hours.” Sade said feeling happy that she saw her friend after a very long time that they have not seen each other.
” I am done with today’s work.” Sade said immediately she entered Wumi’s office. It was already closing hours.
“‘ I am done too but I want to pick my daughter at her school.” Wumi said.
” Oh… You are married?” Sade asked.
” Yes, I am.” Wumi answered.
” Congratulations, I am so happy for you.”
” Thank you.” Wumi answered happily.
” I want to pick my daughter from school too. What is the name of your daughter’s school maybe it is the same as my daughter’s own.” Sade asked.

” Peace Montessori International school.”
” Wow… that is the same school my daughter attends too. Let’s hurry and go pick them from school.”
After they were done picking their daughter from school, they both went their different ways and Wumi told Sade that she will invite Sade to her house on Saturday so that they could have a special time together.
After Samson and Grace have completed their assignment in the village they were posted too, they came back to Ibadan to start their ministry fully.
Since they started, God has showed up for them miraculously in various ways and before the end of that year, they were able to build a church auditorium which can accommodate at least 1000 members at once.
They have been enjoying God’s faithfulness back to back because they have obeyed his instructions first by doing what he asked them to do.
