MY FATHERS FARMLAND Episode 23

©️Opeyemi.O. Akintunde

“Brain behind crimes…?What Crimes?”

“I gave you a very big farm, to plant good crops to feed millions of people, but you turned around and started working for one of my old workers who I sent away from my farmland. He was a treacherous, double crossing worker. He wanted to turn all my workers against me…

Like a movie, the trio saw some valiant looking men standing in a circle and discussing in low tones…

“Why must he be in control of all these farmlands, I need your support to become chief, once I can defeat him, I promise to give your multiple portions of farmlands that will be under your control”…the treacherous worker said

“That way we end this authoritative rule of his, you can be our overall leader, while we will still have dominion over different farmlands…” one of the Valiant men replied

“When are we looking at?”Another one said

“Two seasons from now…”

The show ended and father continued speaking…

“Who knows the end of a thing than the manufacturer, he thought he could hide such a plan from me, if only he knew that I have my monitoring eyes all over my farmland…”

A scene played again and unknown to the Valiant men who were discussing, the unseen image of FATHER was with them in their meeting…

“You will face Micheal squarely, if we can get him, we can win the battle” The treacherous worker spoke to one of the valiant looking men…

Father kept speaking to the Trio as HIS VOICE was gradually changing from the fatherly voice he was using to speak to the trio earlier…

“They declared war, and I stood in my farmhouse watching how Micheal and his fellow workers took the treacherous worker and his accomplices down. They were casted out… A creature I made for my Glory turned against me..”

FATHER started raising his voice…
“And you Ope who I created for my praise, I created you for my glory, you decided to team up with the one who betrayed me. You started working for him, by making his agenda popular, you used the farm and tools I gave you to plant his own crops which started killing people…” Father said with his eyes showing fire…

As Father Spoke, the trio started seeing Ope’s musical videos playing on the screen and the effects on people…

A young boy was watching one of Ope’s videos, and right there in his room started masturbating.

A lady who listened to One of Ope’s music, went to her boyfriend’s house. They danced to Ope’s music and thereafter due to the erotic nature of the music, committed sexual immorality. Afterwards she got pregnant.
The trio saw the lady seated thinking about what to do, one of Ope’s video was aired on T.V and the lyrics was…

“ Good riddance to Bad rubbish
I am clearing it
I am cleaning the toxic
You gave me
Don’t want anything yours with me”

“ Yes, I am clearing it out… I am clearing this pregnancy out of me..” the young girl said to herself

As the trio watched, the innocent baby was aborted and his blood dropped on Ope’s farmland.

A young boy was also listening to Ope’s music as he was walking on the road. The title was “CASH OUT”. It was a rap song. It was one of Ope’s best-selling music

The lyrics playing was…

Cash Out, Cash Out
Babe, it’s time to cash out
Cash out, Cash Out
Money doesn’t drop from heaven
And if it does
Only the smartest will get it
Get it”

As the young boy was listening to it, he was in front of a woman’s shop trying to buy something, as he kept singing the song, he hideously took the woman’s purse, and ran. People begin to chase hotly after him, and in few minutes, Jungle justice took its hold.

He was set on fire.

Ola screamed as she saw the effect of her seemingly harmless rap music…

FATHER bent down and touched another blood stain, he brought it up and said…

“This particular blood meant a lot to me, but you gave him poison through your songs”….

FATHER shook his head in pain and you could see that he was pained about whoever that particular blood belonged to….Ope fell to the ground weeping… She never knew her music was causing havoc, she thought was just entertaining people….

“He listened to all your songs, he was also meant to be a great farmer, but your glamorous lifestyle made him feel, you were getting it right… you became his role model, he didn’t know how you made some of your money, but he wanted to be rich at all cost…Your songs like….”

Ope’s songs played in front of the trio….
*Get Rich or Die tryin
*Poor man be slaving.
*Anything for the pay.

“All your songs influenced him to go into a lot of vices, from armed robbery to assassination to money ritual. In his lifetime, before he died, he had killed 179 people in his bid to make money. You knew him as G-MONEY.”

Ope had her mouth wide Open, she knew G-MONEY, he was one of those who gave her money for her concerts. He was one of her biggest fans….She never knew he got his money through diabolic means, though she always knew he couldn’t have had all that money through legal means.

“Idiopemipo, do you know how many people’s blood are on you?, that you dare speak about Sunkanmi’s farmland?… Sunkanmi’s farmland was as filthy as yours in the past as he was feeding his members with unripe produce as that was the level of farming he knew. The man who trained him in ministry did not give him a complete guide to farming. He taught him what he also knew… Unlike you whose father had taught you well, you had no excuse to plant poisonous crops on your land..”

Ope was the one been spoken too, but Oba and Ola were shivering, FATHER’S wrath was not a good thing, fire exuded out of his body at every of his outburst.

“Sunkanmi didn’t know how best to farm than what he had been taught, he had been taught that there was therefore no more condemnation in Christ Jesus, but they excluded the second part that states that, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.… They didn’t teach Sunkanmi, that the works of the flesh like immorality, drunkenness, Gambling which is a product of Greed, should not be seen in the life of a new farmer…, but recently, Sukanmi came to know the truth and he came begging for Mercy. His once filthy land like yours was swept clean by the blood of the Saviour. Now, his farm which he started growing little crops on, you idiopemipo came and set it on fire with your filthy hands…”

FATHER’S voice roared throughout the farmland, which was followed by heavy silence.

Then HE spoke again…

By this time Ope was weeping profusely, she knew what awaited her… She had used her talent against God and had not reconciled her ways with God before meeting with FATHER.

“You who is so full of sin was the first to cast a big stone, Should I begin to list all these other rottenness lying on your field, some of the things your siblings don’t even know….?”

Ope’s secret sins begins to play in front of the Trio.

Ope committed Adultery with different men, Some were politicians, others Co- celebrities.

“ You slept with different men at will, in your few years of marriage with Lucky, you had a divorce, got married to Bonny, you later divorced Bonny and remarried Lucky..” FATHER said in anger

“Have you forgotten how, out of your negligence, one of the fruits of your farmland got rotten and died…?”

A scene played out, and the trio saw how Ope’s first baby had died spiritually in the hands of her nanny.

When Ope had her first baby for Lucky, they were so caught up with Ope’s music career, she hired a nanny to take of her baby. Little did they know that the nanny was sexually assaulting the baby boy by playing with his genitals.

“ Your first son is a Sex addict because of your negligence…!” Father’s voice roared…

Ope wept sore not knowing that was the source of her son’s promiscuity.

“ You killed your son from childhood, he is just a living dead man”

The trio also saw a new scene playing out….

Ope taking hard drugs to get high before recording her songs or going on stage…

“You who has secret sins, what level of morality do you have to judge my Son Sunkanmi, who has mended his ways with me…?” FATHER said once again with the voice that roared like that of a lion…

“Get thee behind me, you worker of iniquity and let your farm be given to another who is more worthy!” FATHER said in conclusion to Idiopemipo

Some Valiant looking men appeared suddenly at the command of FATHER’S voice and carried Ope away…

Almost immediately, some other valiant men appeared on her farm and started clearing the mess on the land.

It was done in less than a minute, and a big billboard was placed on the land which read “VACANT, NEW FARMER NEEDED”, while the billboard “ OCCUPIED” was removed and broken.

The space at the Top, God had given Idiopemipo was taken from her and Heaven was already looking for who to give her land and tools to….

Oba and Ola wept as they watched their sister taken away from them. This was the point where the closest of friends got separated….

Oba and Ola shivered not knowing how their farm would look like as they heard the Valiant workers shouting…

“ Idiopemipo Jenriayegbe’s farmland is vacant, may someone else take her place, may someone else become her husband’s wife, may someone else who is more worthy become her children’s mother, may someone else be given her talents to bring Glory to the FATHER….”

PART 25
“ MY FATHER’S FARMLAND”

Sukki had been on the floor for close to an hour wailing and crying, when he suddenly saw a trance. A fruit fell off its tree.

He knew the meaning, Sexy Sasha was gone…

He wept sore, he asked God to have Mercy and keep the other two.

Mama Aladura felt it in her Spirit as she started weeping, she knew her daughter in law was gone…

“God! I have served you tirelessly in praying for people, don’t let people ask me where my God is …” She was weeping and asking the Lord for Mercy as she sat in the Taxi that was taking her to the State Hospital.

Michael had called every pastor he knew, asking them to pray for his wife and pleading that if anyone of them knew Pastor Sunkanmi Emmanuel personally, they should please apologize to him on his wife’s behalf.

What Ope had intended for evil for Sukki, suddenly started turning around in his favour. The internet was bubbling with comments on how “Touch not the anointed and do my Prophet no harm” was practically happening. Sukki’s followers started going into hundreds of thousands in less than an hour.

Ope started receiving negative comments instead, people started bringing out some of her past scandal and stating that she who wasn’t a saint was trying to ascertain if someone else was a saint… With her death announced, her followers started unfollowing her. In two hours, 2 million out of her 8 million followers unfollowed her…

Lucky saw his life crumbling, with the death of Ope, all he had rebelliously built outside of God was going to go down the drain…

Oba’s wife had called her parents who were on their way to the hospital. Oba’s wife kept asking God to please show His kindness to her. All of a sudden, Oba started jerking, the nurses and doctor rushed in trying to stabilize him….

---

Meanwhile, Oba was shivering in a jerky way, just like he was doing on the hospital bed in his unconscious state, as he walked behind FATHER. Father had told them the next farm they were going to check out was Oba’s Farm…

As they got to the farm, the farm was in three parts, the first part was green, while the second part was dry and barren and the third part was bloody.
“You have done a few good things with the opportunity I gave you. Due to your wife’s influence in your life, you gave to the general upkeep of my servants, you blessed the lives of men who worked in my vineyard, you supported church projects, and you gave towards different forms of evangelism. Your wife recently forced you to support a Gospel movie project, which is that big tree on your land.”

The tree FATHER pointed at was a very big tree, it was a recently planted tree, but it grew speedily and bore a lot of fruits.

Oba’s wife Pelumi, had always been passionate about the things of God. She donated to the things of God, she forced her husband on several occasions to support mission work. Oba knew “The Big tree” FATHER was referring to, which had a lot of fruits growing on it, was a movie project he just recently donated to. His wife had read a book and felt the story would be great as a film. She had spoken to the writer of the story about making the story into a movie. Pelumi had forcefully told Oba to donate 20 million for the production of the movie. The movie had become an evangelical success, as lives had been won through the movie…

“Yes you gave generously from the proceeds of the businesses I had given you, but the Position I gave you, what did you do with it?”

At that point, Oba knew trouble was ahead for him as he kept mute….

“You also joined them to fight Sunkanmi, Really? Oluwasomidoba, very early in life I connected you with Kingmakers who gave you a great footing in politics. I started out with making you, a Local Government Chairman for 8 years, what did you do to the funds of the people?…” FATHER said staring into Oba’s Eyes.

Oba eyes brought out tears as he knew the answer to that question, he had followed the system of politics he had promised God not to follow. He had told God he was going into politics to change the society, and with God’s help, he became Local government Chairman, when he was 30 years old.

After he graduated from School, he had become the Personal Assistant to the National Leader of one of the leading political parties. When the party got into power, the national Leader made sure Oba became one of the Local Government Chairmen. He stood up for Oba declaring that though Oba was young, he was wise.

“You authorized payments for ghost workers, which you had a way of sending the money into your personal account. You promised those in your local government, you would make sure electricity was stable, but for 8 years you did nothing. What about your tenure as a governor. You became a disappointment that no one voted you in for your second tenure. You made a lot of Children drop out of school, as you didn’t encourage the educational sector. You didn’t pay teachers their salaries as at when due, so they started failing in their responsibilities as teachers. It was really disheartening to see that you who people helped to make you pass through school, was the one not caring about the academics of the less privileged populace. You were a BIG failure as a governor.”
FATHER’s voice sounded like many waters…

“You were just adding unto yourself money you didn’t need, and depriving those who really needed it, saving money in foreign accounts, keeping money in empty tanks, keeping money in unoccupied houses, burying money in public cemeteries.” FATHER recounted as Oba and Ola watched Oba’s evil political endeavors playing out before them.

Recently, as a senator, you……

“Now as a senator, you want to make use of your power of making laws to destroy my son’s farm and my general farmland.” FATHER said in outrage as
Oba wept bitterly

A scenario played out before them and Oba and Ola saw few minutes before their accident. Oba was thinking about Sukki as he was driving and trying to call one of his friends…

“ It’s high time we made a law that will give us the power to set up a “Church leadership vetting committee”. I can bring it up in the House. So that the government will be the one to determine who becomes a pastor or spiritual head of the church in this country. The Pastor’s personal life will be screened, his past and present to know if he can start up a church in Nigeria.” Oba had thought in his heart as they drove towards Sunmibare’s school…

“ Oba, you wanted to instigate the government to make a law that will affect the body of Christ negatively?” FATHER questioned and Oba had no answer whatsoever. His heart cried for Mercy…

“I made you great through people who helped you from their farmland, Jumoke Johnson helped you, KikiOlaluwa helped you, Micheal and the student body helped you but heartbreakingly the best you could do in return was to be stealing the farm produce of people you ought to have helped. You were a thief and a rapist…You dare condemn Sunkanmi for raping your sister, what about you? YOU RAPED THE PEOPLE OF THEIR RIGHTS, their rights to be educated, their right to basic public funds, their rights to life… you made people lose their lives on the bad road you patched instead of repairing….

Another scene in Oba’s Life was playing out in front of the two…

“A&A contractors, you see the government doesn’t have the money to repair those roads, just pour some granite here and there…” Oba said to a contractor who was seated in front of him

“But your Excellency, it will be more economical to fix the roads, as we have been patching these roads every two months…”

“That’s my final word on that, the government doesn’t have money”

“Sir, please I want you to consider the rate of accidents and deaths we have been recording on that road, we need to fix the roads…”

“A&A contractors, people will always die, people will always have accidents, with or without bad roads, but if you are not interested in patching the room, I can call another contractor”…

“No please sir, I am interested”.

The scenario playing in front of them faded out and FATHER continued…

“Instead of using the advantaged farmland I gave you as a politician and leader to sow good crops and give the people a good life, you took their money and wasted their blood.”

Ola and Oba stayed quiet, as the sound of guilt rang loudly in their ears.

“So Oba, what do you think your judgement show be because by stealing public funds you are not any better than the prostitute, armed robber, or the murderer?”

Oba bent his head in tears as he knew FATHER’S judgement had to be that he should depart from His sight and His position be given to someone who was more worthy.

He saw his case for what it was, God had given him a farm, where he could have fed a lot of people, where he could have saved a lot of lives, provided shelter for people, but instead, he stole from people to enrich himself….

However, from a distance, Oba and Ola saw the big tree shaking and bowing on its own accord…Father looked towards the tree and said…

“The souls of those that got saved through the movie you donated towards are pleading on your behalf, but…..”
