RECOVERY
This is the summary of me, Princess, you melted my stony heart. Opening up to you has uncovered my wound that has been covered up for some years. Today, I breathe in the fresh air and I've started to heal. What transformation! You wouldn't know the value of what you have done. But be rest assured, we are together in this and I can never be the same again. Oh! I will sing, I will shout, even in the darkest hour of my night, I will sing, I will shout.". Comfort bursts into singing, feeling rapturous. Princess joined in singing along. Dolly Parton that sang" Coat of many colours" couldn't have sung better.
Princess, carried away by her story and has been emotionally following her all the way, held Comfort in her warm embrace stroking her hair like a baby that has just been weaned. She was unable to talk, she felt, she needed the comfort. "Just like your name, it is only God that will comfort you. He will make you comfortable and settle you beyond your wildest dreams and imagRelated chapters
THE CONVERSION COLLEGE CAMPAIGN
With the success recorded in the Christian Corpers Fellowship, Comfort was amply encouraged to do more. Encomiums kept coming to strengthen her arms, testimonies of healings of hurt ones were reigning. A kind of revival was going on. Comfort started to form a team for her new project. They met in one of the schools to discuss it. They were to choose between the two:Talk to me or Speak out. Princess argued that victims of molestation should be encouraged to speak out and not be intimidated. The name is suggestive and brings out the campaign properly. The need to be bold and not be shy is a must so that perpetrators can be judged and prosecuted. It will discourage such acts. One of the members felt it should be Talk to me because the people should learn to confide in people and talk, not quiet. Eventually, they agreed to use the two because both are good.Comfort and Princess went to a girls school to talk to the Principal about their project for the school. The princ
THE CONVERSION EXPOSED
With the success of her campaign going on in schools, Comfort resolved to further it by taking it home. She knew what she was about doing was not going to be easy, but she is determined not to keep her sister in the dark again. One of the things that encouraged her was the scriptures that say, there is nothing hidden that will not be exposed. It was time for secret things to come out in the open. There are natural laws of the earth that opens up things hidden. The time has come for that. She knows her sister's home or marriage may be disturbed but the truth must triumph. Enough of fallacy. Comfort told her sister she would be coming home for something important. She tried to be inquisitive, asking for a clue, but she declined and told her to be patient. After all, she is coming home. Her heart skipped for fear but she held on to her conviction. Suddenly, she felt weak, what is the use of confessing what has happened several years back, is it not like stirring the horne
THE CONVERSION MAZE
Marian Allen was a very beautiful girl, studying Law at the University of Lagos, Nigeria. She is one of the best students on campus. Barry Lawal was also a student on campus studying Business Administration and was in the second year also doing very well in his studies Barry had an uncle who was a business, mogul, Barry stays in his house in Victoria Island to help him with house chores. He takes care of his house in his absence because he travels a lot. His family stays in Canada. He goes there to see them from time to time. The uncle, who is called Chief loves women. He has a lot of money, and so spends it on his lust. He goes to clubs every evening, bringing in ladies and sleeping with them.

He gives Barry money freely and one day decided to buy a small Toyota Corolla for him. Barry was excited and went around
THE CONVERSION STUNNED
Marian was surprised to see another woman. It was like a dream and she wished to wake up from it. If anyone has told her that Barry would cheat on her, she would have called such a person a liar. So, all the love he professed was fake. Men are wicked, but the lady is wicked too. To imagine that her mother had warned her of the relationship. How good it is to always listen to the wise counsel of parents. She was so much in love with Barry that she despised her mother's wise counsel. Well, she has been proved right. Indeed, a dog will always go back to his vomit. A sow washed will go back to the mire. A leopard cannot change its skin.Barry became confused and wished she had not come. The situation is embarrassing to him. How will he handle it? She must be waiting for them to come out. He wished to hide the lady. If she gets to see her, won't she fight? Many thoughts were flying in his heart. He sat down lamenting his predicament. He loves Marian but the desire to wait till
THE CONVERSION REMORSEFUL
Mrs. Carolina Allen made through her promise to Comfort and put a call to her daughter in Europe. Marian picked her mom's call with joy and great excitement. It's been a long time they spoke. After the greetings and sharing the things happening at home in Nigeria. Then she brought in that of Barry. She was too shocked to say a word." Marian, are you still there?". She uttered the words thrice before she regained her consciousness."This is unbelievable mom, you mean the idiot is yet to change? To imagine that I should have married this man? God saved me from the torment and torture of an adulterer who does not know his boundary. A girl she raised from age 5? She must have brought her up as a chicken to be slaughtered. He must pay for this crime. But we need to find out if the girl has any evidence to show he defiled her. I appreciate you for telling me that I should wait for God to avenge. See what the Lord has done. Vengeance is His, He repays beyond what a human being c
THE CONVERSION RECONCILIATION
"What permission?" Barry said. Labake looking at her sister exclaimed, "Little sis, aren't you fortunate to have a big mom? Congratulations to you my Comfort, though I will miss you I think Mrs. Carolina will make a better mother than me. I have failed you again and again but God has raised another woman to take over. Mom would be delighted in her grave to know this. Comfort, please find a place in your heart to forgive me. Never forget us, I and my family here. We love you". Barry spoke, full of emotion." I lack words to express my regret. If you can cut through my heart, you will see how sorry I am. I wish I can draw back the hand of time, but it can not be undone. Please, do forgive me. I gladly release you, because it will help you to forget past experiences. Thank you". Comfort fully satisfied with them moved over and hugged her brother and sister, thanking them for taking her in at a tender age."Whatever I am today is a result of your benevolence. You were my world, took
THE CONVERSION THE ACIDIC TONGUE.
Princess! Princess!! Princess!!! "You are very selfish". Comfort retorted in an angry voice. What! I was taken aback, then I became embarrassed. This was a gathering of Christian Corpers, we were all sharing ideas, on how to move the fellowship forward.I suggested that it will be good if we can come to my end once in a while to have fellowship in my apartment because I live far away from others.I live in the traditional part of the town which was far away from others. I sometimes feel very lonely, with the others far away. As a corpers posted to the far north, far away from my Ekiti state, it was not easy at all. I could not speak Hausa, the few words I learned in the camp, I use to buy things in the market. Words like: Ina kwana- Good morning. Na wan? - How much? It was quite difficult living in a new environment. The people though friendly find it difficult to communicate with me. They will say: Ba a Hausa meaning Cannot speak Hausa.
THE CONVERSION SEIZING THE MOMENT
People say opportunity once lost cannot be recovered. I believe God is a God of chance and opportunity. He gives us open doors by Himself when it is time. Such open doors are opportunities. Someone must be sensitive enough to grasp the opportunity. I call it: seizing the moment. Never miss your moment.We, her friends, I mean Comfort had been under the tormentor. Living with a critical, censorious friend can be oppressive. We were oppressed, suppressed, depressed with this negative, toxic friend.Here I was, face to face with this tormentor, ready to strike and tell her the truth we all had been shying away from. We never had the nerve, the strength, the courage to talk to her. It was that bad. I mean very bad. I was going to miss the opportunity, when someone just rushed to Comfort, praising the wonderful talk she gave us in the fellowship I was almost giving up because the person kept on talking and talking. I was becoming agitated because l never knew when I would hav
