Dr. Jemimah, Vincent, Ade Damino and the others who had
broken into Chuks’ room were standing at the reception waiting for
the Doctor to come out with the news.
As a Doctor, Jemimah knew that the body she brought into the
hospital was 99.9% dead, but because she felt a little pulse around
his neck, she believed he could still have a chance to live.
Ade Damino had been the one who rushed down to meet her at the
praying centre and had told her “I think we have a problem. Mr
Chuks is not waking from his sleep”
Jemimah had run up the stairs like a mad person. She and Mr.
Chuks had formed the kind of friendship that existed between a
Doctor and a patient.
Recently he had been telling her that he was getting stronger by the
day. So to hear that he was asleep and couldn’t be woken up was
not a news she wanted to hear on such a day like this; the second
day of a program that has been electrifying, to say the least.
She dashed into the room and had tried to do a manual CPR, but
he wasn’t responding.
“We need to get him to a hospital very close-by. A standard one. I
think we should get him to Trinity now” Jemimah had said.
Shola who had seen the way she dashed out of the prayer meeting
had followed her. Jemimah was his heart, anything that troubled
her, troubled him.
“We need to get him into Trinity now” Jemimah emphasized again
Ade Damino and the others had carried him up and put him
cautiously into one of the Lighthouse vehicles.
Dr. Jemimah entered into the car as well and they drove out of the
compound.
Dr. Jemimah had identified herself as a Doctor and gave out Chuks’
medical history and every other thing they needed to know.
It was already twenty minutes since they took him in and yet they
had not heard anything from the Doctors.
Jemimah saw a Doctor approaching them and as he closed up on
them, Jemimah couldn't help the rate at which her heart was
racing. She prayed in her heart that she wouldn’t hear any bad
news.
“The patient you brought in here is now stable” The Doctor said.
“That’s fine.” Dr. Jemimah said “Can I see him? Is he okay? I’d just
like to see him”
Jemimah faced others and said “Please let me go in, I’ll be back”
******
Jemimah walked into the ward and saw Uncle Chuks. As she
entered, his eyes opened and he managed to speak...
“I can’t tell” Jemimah replied. “It was Vincent and Ade Damino
that called my attention to your room. They said you passed out
and you weren’t waking up. So from what the Doctor just told me,
it seems you had a cardiac arrest in your sleep. We thank God all
that is gone”
“Chuks, can you see that truly only God owns our lives.” Chuks said
to Himself.
“I know what God is trying to tell me. He’s simply telling me that if
I will not let Favour and Akanbi get married in my presence, He
will do it in my absence” Chuks added
She didn’t know where that was coming from. She was totally lost.
“Dr. J, I’m not hallucinating. You think I don’t know what I’m
saying” Chuks said to Jemimah when he heard her response to him
“No, I’m not saying you are hallucinating. What I am saying is you
don’t need to overthink anything right now; You just need to rest.
That’s what I’m trying to say Uncle Chuks.”
“Dr. J, one thing I want you to know is that what has happened to
me has shown me that nobody can stand in the way of God. I was
trying to stand in the way of God, I was saying NO to what God was
saying YES to. Listen, the message from Aunty Favour yesterday,
about following God’s will, specifically about if God wanted you to
marry somebody else and all of that is about us. It’s about myself,
herself and Mr. Akanbi Damino."
"I didn’t sleep all throughout the night because I couldn’t wrap my
head around it all. Around Five O’clock, I decided to sleep when I
saw that she had come back from her overnight stay with Mercy.
As I lay down to sleep, I remember, just before sleep took me over I
remember saying..
"God I can’t be alive to see Favour marry Akanbi.... Please God, not
when I’m alive please."
"Dr. J, I just said it casually. I know the power of words and to
think that I know that my strength lies in my words. God has given
me the gift of authority and I just used it carelessly. I can see it’s
mercy that brought me back. God told me He wants Akanbi to be
with Favour and I carelessly used my tongue of authority to say not
when I’m alive."
" Don't say a thing like that" Dr Jemimah said with tears in her
eyes. Favour-Chuks was definitely something everyone had been
looking forward to.
To be continued…
" Yeah! You have a lot to do. God's Mercy will speak for you"
"If I want to live, I need to let Favour go, if God believes that
Akanbi is the best person for her, I willingly let her go. In fact I
need to get out of this hospital. Dr. J, I need to ensure that she gets
married and I will facilitate it. She must get married, that is God’s
will for her, she must marry Akanbi Damino, that is God’s will for
her. I’m sorry, I feel suddenly tired, can I sleep a little?” Chuks said
Dr. Jemimah stood frozen on the spot. All the while he was talking
with so much energy and authority that she could not even tell him
to stop. He was talking from a deep place, he was talking from
knowing that this was what it had to be.
Everything was confusing. Yeah, she knew that a few times she had
seen the way Mr. Akanbi looked at Aunty Favour, but it was not
something that she gave too much thought to.
Even Shola had jokingly said it a few times that Akanbi definitely
was smitten by Aunty Favour but casting her mind back, Jemimah
remembered thinking it was mere appreciation of her personality
and not some serious love that would translate into them spending
their lives together forever.
“Okay Uncle Chuks, I’ve heard you and you will be alive to see Mr.
Akanbi marry Aunty Favour if that is God’s will, but if you want to
be alive to see that, which I know that God has had mercy on you,
you need to relax, you need to rest. You need the energy so you can
gladly walk behind her on that day down the altar.” Dr Jemimah
said
“Exactly, exactly what I drew. I saw myself standing behind her like
a chief bridesmaid...or like her brother. I know that’s what God
wants. I’ll rest like you said, but if I do not wake up after my rest,
tell Favour all that I have told you, so that she doesn’t bring wrath
upon her life. Tell her she has to marry Akanbi Damino. She has
to..!"
*****
She couldn’t control what she felt. The burning sensation was so
hot on her legs, and without her knowing how she was doing it, she
saw herself removing an invisible rope wrapped around her legs.
She kept saying “I cut it off. I remove it. Whatever that is delaying
me, that is not allowing me to progress, I cut it off” She kept
shouting it
“I cut off that string of delay. That string of slow progress, I cut it
off. Begin to walk, you’ll not only walk, begin to run. I put speed in
your legs”
The Holy Ghost came upon Mabel and she began to speak in
tongues. She kept wondering why she was speaking in a strange
language but she felt too overwhelmed to stop.
Olive could not shut her eyes. She marveled at what was happening
to Mabel. She realized Mabel was speaking in tongues and the
words were rushing out of Mabel’s mouth like fireworks.
'Was this how I was behaving? Was this what Mabel talked about?'
Olive got more dumbstruck when she heard a voice different from
Mabel’s voice speaking through her.
“Leave her alone, she is mine. She is my daughter. Her mother got
her from the waters. Yes, I gave her to her mother, so leave her”
Favour got really mad in her spirit and began to tackle the spirit
and the spirit spoke again.
“You do not know the agreement we entered into when I gave her
the child, I appeared to her mother in her dream and we had an
agreement that if she had a child from us, the child will be limited
in some ways. We will only let her become great but not too great.
The mother signed and she agreed.
As a result, we tied the baby's leg and thereafter returned her into
the mother's womb, so who are you to say no for her?" The demon
in Mabel fumed. "This thing that you have done, you have
destroyed our future plans for her. We were waiting for her in the
future. In the future, she won’t be able to get married or have
children at the time her mates are doing so. We have tied her legs
because if we let her go, she will become too great.” The spirit
continued angrily
Favour said “Lighters, I want you to shout this prayer Loud and
Clear whatever has been planted in my life, waiting to manifest in
the future, wherever you are, rush out by fire and be destroyed in
the name of Jesus”

CHAPTER 3
“THE LIGHTHOUSE SQUAD Season 5”
©Opeyemi Akintunde
As inspired by the LIVING WORD
As Favour closed her eyes intently, she saw a female teenager who
someone was pouring a slimy liquid all over her body.
Favour looked deeper and she saw someone else at a far distance
working with Snails, draining the liquid out of the snail. It was the
liquid from the Snails that was poured on the young girl's body.
She called out the prayer and said "There's someone here, you're
experiencing slow progress. You're not able to pick up academically
like your friends. Even when you're talking with people, it takes
you a lot of time to process what is being said. And when you want
to answer questions, it takes you a while. I want you to open your
mouth wide and pray this prayer loud and clear." Favour said
"Or are you here and you find yourself eating Snails in your dream.
The enemy is projecting the spirit of slow progress in your life, the
spirit of not achieving things on time or the spirit of failure. You
know, when it takes people five minutes to solve that mathematics,
you will still be on it for thirty minutes and still you won't even get
it.
The whole house caught fire again as everyone prayed fiercely, but
as Favour kept praying, it still was in her spirit to know why Chuks
was not yet in the meeting.
God had told her to continue the work. Favour reminded herself.
However, She was torn between focusing on the program or asking
someone what was really wrong, but she decided to honour God
who had told her to concentrate on her work.
Another prayer dropped in her spirit and she knew she had to call
it for the children.
" Ancestral battles that my parents fought, that my grandparents
fought and is already manifesting in my life. I am a child of peace, I
want peace. Therefore , collide with the Rock of Ages and
disappear by fire"
Favour heard that prayer in her Spirit man and she called it out for
all the children and teenagers to pray. Little did Favour know that
God was about to do something mighty in their midst.
The next one hour felt like hours to Favour because a lot was
revealed...
To Be Continued….
The first place Aunty Favour was thrown into was a farmland, a
very big one at that. She saw two farmers fighting. It was a war of
words. At first it was just mere words being thrown at each other,
but suddenly the one of the farmers got so angry that he threw his
hoe at the other farmer and Aunty Favour saw how the other
farmer fell to the ground and blood started flowing on that land.
Aunty Favour joined the villagers who had gathered around the
man, and they were trying to resuscitate him, Aunty Favour also
saw herself trying to resuscitate him while the other farmer on
seeing that the farmer had died, started running.
We can see the other farmers trying to chase him to catch up with
him. “Ajanaku, Ajanaku, ma lo o. O ti pa yan” (Ajanaku, don’t go o,
you have killed someone). Ajanaku ran into the forest with no one
catching up with him.
Aunty Favour began to receive the insight into what God was trying
to make her understand and she heard it in her spirit that,
" A particular blood has been crying against Ajanaku's family. That
blood in the ground had been crying from generation to generation,
standing against anyone from Ajanaku's lineage."
The moment she heard "at the gate of their blessings" in her Spirit,
she was taken into another realm and she saw a young boy who
was trying to come out of a gate. It was like a Nursery and Primary
school.
The boy was trying to come out of the gate to get into the next
compound.
She read the sign of the next compound and saw that it was a
secondary school.
She watched in pain how the boy would want to come out of the
gate but it would shut itself against him.
Other students who wanted to come out of that gate would
successfully come out of the gate, but when the boy made an
attempt, the gate would shut itself against him.
To Be Continued….
"Lighters, the next prayer I want you to pray needs more intensity.
Peradventure you have been noticing that what other people would
ordinarily do with ease, you do it with so much hardness. It's like
the world is against you. I saw a revelation right now of a boy, a
young boy who is trying so hard to get out of primary school into
the secondary school but there is no way for him to go. I don't
know who you are, maybe you're having difficulties in your
academics, and even though you've passed nursery and primary
school age, as you get into the secondary school, it seems like your
brain is just locked up, it feels like you cannot even understand
what secondary school is all about."
Adebayo, a twelve year old Jss 2 boy opened his eye sharply. From
where he stood praying the previous prayer point casually, the
latest prayer point hit him so hard, it sounded like something that
had to do with him.
Aunty Favour was thrown into the spiritual realm again and she
saw the blood from the ground, it became a full fledged human
being. She watched in amazement how the blood that was now in
form of a man would go into the houses of the generation of
Ajanaku.
"My sister, you know how much I have toiled, I have toiled in this
life, Aunty mi, I have toiled. I deserve to get the position of the
Minister of Education, but see how I was just removed at the very
last minute. Why is this happening to our family? Look at you, you
were about to be the Chief Justice eight years ago, that was how
they said you were not qualified; they came up with the fact that
you're a woman and that they wanted a man to become the Chief
Justice that time around."
"Aunty mi, I don't know what is happening with us but I know
there's a whole lot of problem."
Aunty Favour shook her head and she looked to the wall frame on
the wall and saw a boy that looked familiar, as one of the
grandchildren of this professor.
To Be Continued….
Aunty Favour snapped out of her revelation and she looked around
looking for the face of the boy she had seen in the wall frame in the
Professor's office.
She had the feeling she had seen the boy among the campers, so
she began searching for him.
After searching for few minutes without seeing him she said
Loudly...
Adebayo immediately put his hands up. How did this woman know
everything about him? Without waiting for her to call him forward,
he ran forward and started sobbing and saying
"I want God to touch me, I want God to touch me, something is not
right with me, I want God to touch me" He sobbed bitterly
Aunty Favour said to him "Stand up" She faced everyone and said..
"Everyone I want you to pray loud and clear, 'Powers in my
foundation, making life difficult for me, release me and die in the
name of Jesus Christ."
******
The blood figure appeared into the prayer meeting fuming and
Favour could see so much anger in his eyes. The anger spoke
vengeance.
" What is your business with him? I have no seed because of what
his forefather did to me. I died in my prime with no seed of mine,
till date I have no one from my lineage but his fire father went
ahead to get married to three different women and from his loins,
over 2000 seeds have been birthed. I am not as evil as their fore-
father, or else I would have wiped them all out , but instead I chose
to get my revenge by stopping them at every junction of sucess.
Isn't that fair enough?" The blood asked Aunty Favour in Yoruba
language.
" I understand your pain, but you are suffering the innocent
children."
To Be Continued….
The bloody figure was also aware of the entrance of the light and he
was not having it...
Favour felt deep down in her the deep kind of compassion and love
that could never exist on earth bursting forth out of Jesus. The
current of love and relatability to humanity's pain was something
she had never experienced in her life, it was just so tangible.
Jesus understood the pain of the man and instead of rebuking him ,
he pleaded with him. Favour wept.
" Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus ! Thank you Jesus! For your
intervention" She kept saying repeatedly in tears as she reflected
on the different times Jesus must have appealed to angry spirits
about humans.
" Where on earth is this?" Aunty Favour asked within herself as she
turned in circles.
Aunty Favour noticed she was the only one dressed in white. It was
hard to tell the difference between teachers and students as all the
people she could see; young and old were dressed in black
uniforms.
She decided to walk in deeper into the school, hoping to find out
more. She found a signboard that read "FOR ENQUIRIES COME
HERE" .
Aunty Favour followed the arrow to where the "COME HERE" was
leading to and on getting there she saw two ladies who looked like
Front Desk officers or Customer service personnel seated.
Aunty Favour was taken aback...and right there she said within
herself...
Aunty Favour moved towards Jesus. Obviously with him, she could
enter anywhere in this odd place.
As she turned to look at the man, she saw a screen at his back.
Aunty Favour paused to see what was showing on the screen...
" Failure does not respect technology, Failure has its way of getting
a man. It is highly possible for the computer system to shut down
or malfunction just so that a student does not pass."
" Hmmm... God! Deliver me from the plague of odour and rejection
attracting failure into my life in Jesus name"
Aunty Favour followed Jesus. As she walked up the stairs, she saw
different calibre of people in the school of failure and she could not
help but wonder what their story was. The one that baffled her was
a baby...She couldn't let that go ..
" Sir, What has the innocent baby done to deserve this?"
" Ha! Can a mother be that evil to her child?" Aunty Favour said
very bewildered
" I don't want to lose this child, it has been prophesied that he will
die through an accident" the woman said concerning her baby...
" Hmm...life is deep...this boy is going to be so rich , he would be
manufacturing cars, but he will be assassinated through a staged
car accident."..The priest replied
" So it is true, you are also confirming it!" The desperate mother
said
" No! that is not my child's destiny, I reject it! Baba please help me"
" The only way out is for us to stop him from becoming a car
manufacturer. That means he must not attend school,
Or go near education!" The priest said
Aunty Favour followed Jesus up the stairs. They got to the first
floor and were about going to the second floor, when Aunty Favour
sighted a door sign that read.." CLASS OF STAGNATION".
"There are many classes in the school of failure." Jesus said to her
" Sure!"
Aunty Favour opened the small door, but her eyes met a rude
shock. The class was a very large class. It was more of a hall, there
were lots of people in the hall, ranging from children to adults.
Aunty Favour moved into the hall and further realized that the
class had subs. The students were segmented into groups, and
they had a badge-like stickers on their heads which differentiated
them. Aunty Favour tried to read what was written on their heads.
She placed her hand over her mouth when she read what was
there...
Aunty Favour stopped by that group and her heart bled when she
saw beautiful ladies who were already ageing in the sense of the
word, tied down to their chairs. Aunty Favour watched in
amazement at how detailed the kingdom of darkness went about
their oppressive work. Aunty Favour was able to know all about
them by the badges on their foreheads.
"Marital STAGNATION
-60 years old and still counting
-Raped at 5 years old."
Aunty Favour saw how the Kingdom of darkness planned the lady
being raped at a tender age so as to keep her stagnant maritally.
The lady from a young age developed phobia for sexual intercourse
and that made her dread men.
"She has invested in over 12 businesses and they have all failed
massively." Jesus answered
"Though she is married to a very wealthy man, who gives her more
than enough to keep her business floating, the business keeps
drowning because she is a student in the class of Stagnation in the
school of Failure. She has all the opportunities to be a successful
person, but they have pegged her hands to the ground."
Aliyah knew that prayer was for her...She knew it within her. She
had every opportunity to be a success but she was struggling…
To Be Continued…
Aliyah prayed like her life depended on it. She knew she was a
creative mind, but her sleep disorder was affecting her productivity.
Her husband was giving her all the money she could possibly need,
but that was not satisfying for her . She was not getting her
fulfilment because she knew her creativity was not at the level it
ought to be, hence she wasn't making the kind of money she ought
to make, instead her husband was bankrolling her...
The woman who was been held down with business Stagnation was
feeding off her husband's wealth and popularity.
"Oh Lord, God of Heaven who does great and mighty things
that I have seen, please be merciful and break the chains of sleep
disorder from my life so I can live a productive life." Aliyah
prayed ...
*****
Favour suddenly felt pulled out of the class of Stagnation like a
vacuum cleaner sucked her in and she found herself in a dark large
room, however, the room was lit up by small lights enclosed in
bottles. The bottles were placed on shelves and the shelves went up
the tall roof...
" What are these lights in bottles?" Aunty Favour voiced out..
"Who?"
"My God! How can she be free when her enemy is her own
husband?"
"Good News is that, He is ready to stop the evil way. That is his
shelf over there"
Favour looked towards the direction Jesus was pointing to and she
saw a long shelf that touched the tall ceiling. The bottles on his
shelf were close to five hundred
"Her prayers have helped her" Jesus replied and in that same
instant, one of the bottles broke and the light in it escaped..
To be continued…
CHAPTER 11
“THE LIGHTHOUSE SQUAD Season 5”
©Opeyemi Akintunde
As inspired by the LIVING WORD
" Oh Lord, whatever any one close to me has ever stolen from me, I
recover them all in Jesus name" Aunty Favour called out.
Frigo knew that prayer was for his wife. He had been instructed to
return all the Lights he had stolen. He would be so happy if the
prayers could pull out the Light from him.
It felt like a tornado hit him. He had not yet completed his line of
thought when the strong force hit him. He fell and he felt
something being sapped out of him. Simultaneously, Aliyah felt
like a ball being thrown at her and a feeling of electricity ran down
her spine...Her eyes were shut and in that darkness, she saw light
and sense of fullness. It felt like she had been loaded with
something.
A transaction had happened. Frigo knew it, something had left him
and entered his wife.
******
Favour returned back to the realm with Jesus.
" Thank you for that restoration. I believe there is no need to tell
the wife that her husband was the one who enslaved her.
" No! Since the husband is repentant, Let bygones be bygones "
*****
Favour found herself back in the Class of Stagnation. She really
wanted to explore the hall to know more about the school, but
Jesus definitely was on a mission here and they had to get to it
quickly.
Favour stepped out of the hall and as hard as she tried to force it,
she couldn't help but see the door sign of another class...
Jesus smile and nodded His head. Favour walked into the class
‘Failure At The Edge Of Breakthrough’ and there again she saw a
very large hall with different people seated there.
She suddenly saw a familiar face, and she looked intently to see if
she knew the face.
The girl was a teenager and she couldn’t place where she knew her
from, but she knew definitely she had seen that face before.
Favour moved closer to her and tried to read the label on her
forehead
Aunty Favour hit her head “Ah, these teenagers. How exactly did
she get herself into this?” she thought
And as expected, a screen popped out in front of her and she found
herself journeying into the world back again.
Aunty Favour was walking on the road, and she sighted Carol with
three of her friends and she could hear their discussions
“Of course I’m not ready to have a boyfriend now, that’s why. It’s
not like I’m stalling, it’s just that I’m not ready and I’ve told him no”
Carol replied her friend
The third friend who had been quiet all along said
“Hmm, Carol, na pity I pity you o (I pity you). In this time when
people have started bagging husbands for themselves from
secondary school, you’re here playing hard to get. Give me reasons
why you don’t want to have a boyfriend?”
“Okay, number one Bible says don’t awaken love when it’s not yet
time”
Her friends laughed “Carol the preacher. It’s like that Lighthouse
that you usually go to to see your Cousin, it’s like they’ve brain-
washed you.” The friend said
“Because every time you go there during the holiday and you come
back to school, you’re always a brand new person”
To Be Continued….
Now, she remembered where she knew her from. Aunty Favour
decided to concentrate on the conversation to know what really
happened that made her have failure at the edge of breakthrough.
Aunty Favour was getting impatient. She just felt like she could
fast-forward to the conversation that led to her getting failure at
the edge of breakthrough. And it felt like Jesus was actually
listening to her heart.
The first friend that started up the topic about her dating Pelumi
said “Babes, babes, babes, can we go back to the topic? Carol, listen
and listen good. You can date him and you don’t have to have sex if
that’s what you are afraid of.”
“The worst you may do is a few kisses here and there, but listen
Pelumi is the real deal. This guy is the potential head boy next
term.”
“Everybody said he was there for her even when they were trying to
dress Ada’s wound. Ada later said he held her like her boyfriend
and ever since then, Ada has been crushing madly over him.”
“But no, Pelumi left all the girls in this whole school and decided
that he wanted you. Carol, can you be smart and say yes and build
a great future for yourself. Pelumi is the kind of guy that will
become rich ooo. Number one he comes from a rich family and this
guy is not proud, he is humble and yet he is smart. He is not like
Buchi”
“ Yes ooo, Buchi that his father is filthily rich and yet he comes last
position and he doesn’t care. But no, Pelumi is rich and yet he
takes his academics very seriously, so I’m seeing a great future for
this guy so it’s better you quickly jump on the ride. Do you get us?”
At that point, Carol was actually quiet, and it felt like all they’ve
said actually entered into her head.
“I’ve heard you guys, I’ve heard, don’t worry. I’ll think about all
that you’ve said” Carol said
Aunty Favour found herself in the bedroom and saw Carol on her
bed thinking deeply about what her friends had said. And Aunty
Favour could hear the contrasting thoughts in her head. She could
literally hear her messages being played back in her head.
She heard all the things that she had taught The Lighthouse
children and teenagers about teenage dating playing back in
Carol’s head. However, it was warring against all that her friends
had said
At the end of the day, all that her friends had said won the battle
and she heard Carol say to herself “Well, let me give it a try, as long
as we do not have sex”
Aunty Favour was fast-forwarded again to the next day in school
and Pelumi stood at corner waiting for Carol. Carol joined him and
Pelumi said “A junior said you wanted to see me”
“Yes” Carol replied “I’ve thought about all that you’ve been asking
me and I want to say that I like you too and I’ll like to give it a
try….but….”
Before she could even say the but Pelumi squealed and literary
hugged her tight
“No kissing? How then do I let you know that I love you? Yeah I
can agree to no sex definitely, I can agree to no smooching but at
least there has to be a form of intimacy between us that at least
makes you different from every other girl to me”
Carol thought about it for a few minutes and she said “Short
kisses?”
“Well, what I’m saying is that I cannot promise that I will not kiss
my girlfriend passionately, but I can promise that we will not have
sex, we will not smooch but at least, do you know how long I’ve
been dreaming about your lips? Do you know how long I have
fantasized about kissing your lips? And then you being my
girlfriend and I can’t kiss you, take you to the beach and we hug
and all of that. I’m not going to lie, you’re the most beautiful girl
I’ve ever seen in my life and to see that and not be able to kiss you,
no, I’m not going to lie about that” Pelumi said smiling and Carol
fell for it
From where Aunty Favour stood, she felt like slapping Carol
“Can’t you see this is just teenage nonsense” Aunty Favour said
angrily…
To Be Continued….
Carol fell for it and right there and there, Pelumi looked around
and saw that there was no one coming and he planted a kiss on her
lips.
“That’s for saying yes to me. Thank you so much” Pelumi dashed
off excitedly
Carol stood there touching her lips and she said “Oh my God, hope
I haven’t made a mistake? My God”
Right there she told herself “I will not have sex with him, I will not
have sex with him” She kept repeating it over and over so as to
convince herself that she will not do it
“And let me give you the reply my mum would give me. My Mum
would say why don’t you have female friends that you can go do a
group study with”
“And let me tell you the reply you’re going to tell your Mum”
Pelumi said with his witty smile. “You’re going to tell your Mum
that you do not have female friends who are as smart as Pelumi”
“See pride, see pride” Carol replied “Well, I cannot promise, but let
me see how it goes, let me try, I’ll try and ask my mum. If she
agrees, I’ll go, if she doesn’t, I’m sorry but you’d have to go to the
party all by yourself”
Aunty Favour stood and watched Carol trying to see how she was
going to tell her mum about the party.
“Mummy, that reminds me, there’s this group study that I want to
join. It has been organized by the most brilliant boy in our school. I
don’t know if you remember him, his name is Pelumi Ajibade. He
is very very brilliant”
“Oh, the one that gets all the gifts during your prize giving day”
“Mummy, you see you remember him. You know because we are
having our WAEC, he decided that he wants to help his co-students.
He said if we can be coming to his house every Friday after school
and we’d read together till like around 7pm or 8pm, or like 6pm
because I told him that even if mummy would allow me come, I
cannot stay till 7pm so maybe like 6pm, so when we close by 2pm,
we’ll do whatever we have to do from 2pm to 6pm. So I wanted to
ask if you’ll let me go so I can give him the reply”
“Well, if it’s your education, and you’re sure that you’re going there
to read, especially if it’s that boy, then no problem, I permit you”
Aunty Favour saw that Carol literally wanted to jump from her
chair. It took a lot to control herself.

“THE LIGHTHOUSE SQUAD Season 5”

As inspired by the LIVING WORD
Aunty Favour began to search for her subjects; the main focus of
her being at that club.
As she looked around, her mind was blown to say the least;
Children and Teenagers, she will call them children because she
was seeing girls as young as 13 years of age in sexy clothes dancing.
She looked at her side and there again was Jesus standing by her
and Aunty Favour couldn’t help but say “My Lord Jesus, why
would children be doing this, where are their parents?”
Jesus smiled and said “The devil never rest, he is going all out to
capture as many young people he can, and that is why we need
more of you on earth. More of you that can recruit soldiers, end
train soldiers for us.”
“Among these young ones are Governors, Senators who are meant
to change the policies to favour the people. Among these ones here
are teachers, people who are meant to train the future generation
but here they are.”
“When the devil tries to make a young person get addicted, it’s not
because the devil wants to actually just destroy that life. The devil
wants to make sure that person sees him or herself as unqualified
for the divine assignment.”
“He knows that no matter how sinful a man is, once he ask for
forgiveness he is forgiven and he can still fulfil destiny. But the
devil makes them deep in sin and then binds them with the spirit
of inadequacy, they begin to see themselves as inadequate. So I
want more of your kind Favour” Jesus said to Favour and she felt
his passion. She felt the pain, she could see into his heart that He
wanted all to be saved….that ALL may be saved.

CHAPTER 15
“THE LIGHTHOUSE SQUAD Season 5”

As inspired by the LIVING WORD
“I’m sorry Lord, I feel your pain. I hope to raise more soldiers for
you, more that will dominate the entire earth for you, and we will
dominate, we will dominate” Aunty Favour said
That word dominate made a lot of sense and she knew that was
what The Lighthouse was all about. It was about raising young
ones and delivering them because if you do not deliver them, they
cannot go out there and save. So they needed to be delivered and
that was why the fire session was necessary.
Aunty Favour focused on why she was there again. She kept
looking around, looking for Carol and the supposed Pelumi boy
As she moved, she saw a VIP section and as she thrust deeper into
that place, she saw them committing the abominable act right
there and she literally wanted to slap Carol and say “But you said
you were not going to have sex, but before she could think too
much over it, she saw the cause of her losing her senses and her
resolve, there were hard drugs on the table in front of them…
She had been heavily drugged.
" I don't think Carol should be the beneficiary of this Grant..." The
husband said
" I don't know...I just have this feeling she won't make good use of
the opportunity, why don't we give your cousin Sope. You told me
she has been awaiting admission for two years. This Grant will
serve her better..." The husband said
"Ha! But hope your sister won't take an offence. You have been
planning this for your Carol your niece for over two years."
She could see the reason why Carol was in the class of Failure at
the edge of breakthrough… Her Grant has been given to another.
" Yes! She does. You should get her to the camp" Jesus replied
*****
Aunty Favour snapped out of the vision and the person she wanted
to quickly speak to was standing right in front of her. Bolaji, Carol's
cousin was at the front weeping.
" Bolaji, tell your cousin Carol to leave everything she is doing and
come to camp as it has something to do with Pelumi her school
mate"
Aunty Favour could see the surprise on her face. Bolaji definitely
knew who Pelumi was judging from the Look on her face.
" Ok ma! " She replied as she dashed out of the prayer place.
Favour knew it was time to close to service that morning but she
knew that Jesus took her to that school of Failure for a purpose
and she was yet to fulfil that purpose.Favour shut her eyes tightly
and said ..
" There is still a lot God wants to do in our midst, but time will not
permit. So I will advice you to pray this prayer. Oh Lord, in any
area of my Life where I still need your touch, Lord please touch
me."
They all roared in prayer.
To Be Continued….
A once-vibrant artist
Aunty Favour saw some canvases, once alive with vivid strokes of
colors, now lay desolate at her feet, devoid of life or inspiration.
Approaching Arewa cautiously, Favour sensed the weight of chains
that bound her. As she drew nearer, Arewa’s tear-streaked face
looked up, her eyes reflecting a mix of desperation and hope.
"For wealth and prosperity, we bind our artistic talents and gifts
for generations to come," murmured an ancestor, sealing the pact
with a drop of blood on an altar.
“At that time, artists were not appreciated in this village, only
hunters, warriors got the most beautiful women to marry. One of
her ancestors was in love with a fellow villager but the young lady
refused his proposal because he didn’t have the wealth she wanted
to live in. This distraught man decided to exchange his artistic gift
for money. He rallied other young men like him from his family
and they sacrificed their artistic abilities for material wealth”Jesus
said pointing to the ancestor that sealed the pact.
Returning to the present, Arewa’s anguish was palpable.
Favour was surprised as to how her prayer had effect on the girl
she didn’t know. She knew she was not a part of the camp program.
“That’s the power of prayer. If you are praying, and your prayer
charges are high, it can set people around you free, even if they are
not saved”.
*****
Arewa woke up from what felt like a nap, she had seen a strange
woman and a man in white who shone brightly removing chains
from her hands, and as odd as it felt, she had the sudden urge to
paint. It had been a long time she painted.
She went into her room, picked up her brush and her hands felt
like it had been dipped in oil, because the painting felt so seamless.
To Be Continued….
Walking through the quiet interior of the cursed hall, Aunty Favour
felt a subtle pull, drawing her toward a young man with the head
information reading Daniel. His countenance spoke volumes of
disappointment and despair. Walking by her side, Jesus pointed
out Daniel’s struggle. .
“He is 21 years old and he has been dating since he was 12 years old,
he gets to use them emotionally and financially, thereafter dumps
them. The girls who have fallen victim of his escapades have issued
curses on him, and remember a curse causeless shall not stand, but
in these cases, he is very guilty” Jesus said to Favour.
“Sure! But the challenge with praying for someone who is not
saved is that when the evil spirit backing the curses comes back to
check on the place he has been sent from, if the person is not born
again, his case would be worse, because he would bring in worse
demons, so Favour channel your prayer charges for him to be
saved”
She had the intention of leaving the Class of the Cursed Ones, but
felt a pull toward a lady. She had a guitar beside her. The musical
instrument lay untouched.
Jesus Opened his palm and the hole in there showed the Lady’s
past…
******
“If I die, you will marry someone else!” A handsome man said to
the Lady with the instrument.
“Never! You don’t know what you mean to me.” She replied
Aunty Favour shook her head in pity. Jesus revealed the tragedy
that had muted her melody. The man had died two years after their
wedding.
“Her music died with him, she can't find the notes anymore.” Jesus
said
Still Within the spiritual interior of the cursed hall, Jesus pointed
towards a youth with the head name badge showing his name was
Michael. Aunty Favour looked at the person Jesus was pointing at,
he had an athletic stature.
Aunty Favour saw the younger version of the boy, about four years
younger than he was…
“In this Sports career, if I can just win 10 trophies I will be okay for
life” The young boy said.
“Oh Lord, past words from me that has become a curse over me in
my present, break and loose your hold over my life in Jesus name”
“Sarah lives in a cursed house, it is her dream home, But turns out
to be a nightmare" Jesus said to Favour.
Aunty Favour’s eyes opened and she saw the house. Indeed, it was
a dream house, very beautiful. However, beyond the beautiful walls,
evil spirits & demons had threaded their way into the fabric of the
building. Everything in the house had been ominously affected.
Aunty Favour saw how the Spirits were farting on all her properties,
including her clothes, so whenever she wore the clothes, she began
to smell offensive to others.
“Every one who lives in this house would not have peace, they live
in pain, distress, abject poverty, failure. The thoughts of suicide
plagues them.” The woman issued a lot of curses on the charm and
when the husband and mistress were not at home, she buried it in
the compound.
Favour walked into the EVIL ARROWS Hall, and Jesus pointed at
a woman she knew well.
“If you know your mother is a trader and she has been complaining
of slow patronage, you need to pray this prayer for her…Arrow of
Rejection, bareness and isolation fired at my mother’s business,
backfire in Jesus name. Beatrice, you should pray this for your
mother.” Aunty Favour Said.
“Why?”Favour asked
“You are free!”Jesus said and on hearing that, they all ran off in
joy.
To Be Continued….
“Mr Chuks was rushed to the hospital, but Ade just called to tell me
he is now stable” Mr Akanbi said
******
Dr. Jemimah stepped out of the ward to inform the others that Mr.
Chuks was stable and resting, but he needed some time alone.
“You all can return to the Lighthouse. I will stay with him” Dr. J
said “We need to inform Aunty Favour”
“I already called my Dad to Inform him about the situation, I
believe he would have informed others”. Ade said
" Aunty Favour, he's resting right now. He's stable but needs some
time alone," Jemimah said gently, knowing Favour's eagerness to
see Chuks.
"I just want to see him for a moment, Dr. J. I promise I won't
disturb him," Favour pleaded with a mix of anxiety and hope.
"Favour," Chuks managed a weak smile. "I didn't expect to see you
here. You should be at the camp"
"I heard what happened, and I couldn't stay away. I was so
worried," Favour said, her voice trembling with emotion.
Chuks gestured for her to sit by his side. "Sit, please. I need to tell
you something important."
Favour settled in the chair beside his bed, her eyes fixed on Chuks,
waiting for his words.
"I asked God, I pleaded, not to let me see you marry Akanbi,"
Chuks confessed, his voice heavy with remorse.
Favour's eyes welled up with tears, the weight of Chuks' words
sinking deep into her soul. She reached out and gently clasped his
hand, a silent understanding passing between them.
"Chuks, please don't blame yourself. Can we not talk about this
now? Your well-being matters more than anything else," Favour
said softly, her heart aching at his vulnerability.
Chuks let out a sigh, his eyes conveying a mix of relief and regret.
"God has shown me that I've been careless with my words of
authority. He wants Akanbi in your life, and I might have
unknowingly opposed that."
“I am sorry… but promise me, you will do what God ask of you”
"I promise," Favour whispered with tears saying more than her
words.
"Hello, Mr Akanbi," Chuks greeted, his voice faint but filled with
warmth.
Akanbi felt a lump form in his throat, the weight of Chuks' words
hitting him deeply. "I promise, Mr. Chuks. I care deeply for Madam
Favour, and I'll do everything in my power to support her and
make her happy."
*****
Exiting the room, Akanbi found Favour waiting outside, her eyes
searching for answers.
“All thanks to God, I will join you at the Lighthouse much later. I
want to have an extensive discussion with the Doctor.
*****
The drive back from the hospital was quiet, the weight of unspoken
thoughts hanging in the air between Akanbi and Favour. Akanbi
navigated the road in silence, his mind wrestling with a plethora of
emotions.
As the miles passed, Favour's voice broke the silence, her words
heavy. "I will marry you, Akanbi, since it is God's will. We are both
mature, there is no point beating about the bush"
Finally, with a tremor in her voice and tears brimming in her eyes,
Favour voiced her truth.
"I do like you, Akanbi. But it's not just about that... It's about the
depth of friendship, the unspoken love, the intention of marriage...
It's about everything I've shared with Chuks, the good and the bad
times."
"Favour, I promise to give us a chance. I'll wait for you, for as long
as it takes."
To Be Continued….
Rushing into her room, she shut the door behind her, seeking
solace in the confines of her bedroom cum sanctuary. Her mind
raced with conflicting emotions.
"I need some time alone, Tina. Please," Favour's voice was faint,
but firm, as she requested solitude.
Tina sighed, sensing Favour's need for space, and reluctantly left,
hoping her friend cum sister would find solace in the Holyspirit.
She couldn’t imagine the state of her heart. A lot had happened in
the past few days; she had battled losing her child, she also became
a grandmother within the same period, and just few hours ago, she
almost lost her best friend in the world.
******
The moment Dr. Jemimah touched base at the Lighthouse, She
pulled Shola, her fiancé and Akanbi's Personal Assistant, aside as
she arrived back at the camp. She felt compelled to share the
weighty conversation she had overheard between Chuks and
Favour.
In her room, Favour couldn’t help herself again, she felt her heart
wanted to burst out of her body so she picked up her phone and
dialled Mercy’s number, her heart racing.
Few hours after locking herself in her room, Favour emerged from
her solitude, her focus redirected to the camp's closing moments.
Mabel and Olive were not returning the same way they came. They
had decided to go off social media for a year so as to cut off from
the cult they had unknowingly entered into.
Frigo and Aliyah bid their goodbyes too, they promised to stay in
touch and Aunty Favour connected them to a pastor friend of hers
in their country for proper follow -up.
Carol, Bolaji’s cousin who had joined them towards the end of the
program, also felt better after the prayers. Aunty Favour had told
her what she had been shown in the Spirit realm, Carol testified to
it and as a result she prayed the single prayer point Aunty Favour
gave her for hours.
*****
As the last of the young ones departed, Favour gathered the leaders
for a private meeting. She wanted to set the records straight for
transparency sake.
"Thank you all for your dedication and support throughout this
camp," Favour began, her voice carrying a blend of certainty and
vulnerability.
A hush fell over the room as the leaders attentively waited for
Favour's revelation.
Favour's heart swelled with a sense of relief. She had let the cat out
of the bag, finally.
To Be Continued….
Favour's heart skipped a beat at his words. " Well, You make me
forget about everything else when I'm with you. It's like time
stands still." Favour replied
Their bond grew deeper with each passing day, and amidst their
budding affection, they made it a ritual to visit Chuks regularly.
Chuks, though weakened, observed the unspoken love radiating
from their gazes.
Weeks later, Favour received a call from Dr. J, bearing news that
brought a surge of hope. "Chuks is ready to be discharged," Dr. J
announced over the phone, her voice tinged with a sense of relief.
Favour's heart jumped with gratitude at the news. She shared the
update with Akanbi, and together they made plans to ensure
Chuks' smooth transition home.
As they left to bring Chuks back from the hospital, their joy knew
no bounds.
******
Chuks' return home was celebrated with excitement. Favour and
Akanbi orchestrated a warm welcome party. Laughter and joy filled
the air as they celebrated Chuks' return and his miraculous
recovery.
With a glint in his eyes and a warmth in his voice, Chuks addressed
them, "It's time you both know about the final touches we've put
into your wedding."
“Wedding?”
Before they could inquire further, Chuks continued, "We need the
names of the Special guests you'd like to invite to the wedding."
Chuks was expecting some big names…
Without missing a beat, Favour and Akanbi exchanged a knowing
glance… "You and everyone in the Lighthouse and every child and
teenager that has ever passed through Lighthouse are our special
guests," Aunty Favour replied and Akanbi Damino nodded in
agreement.
Chuks' heart warmed by Favour’s selfless response.

*****
The day before the wedding, Favour had sought a private moment
with Chuks in his room…
*****
On the wedding day, Chuks stood proudly, a male bridesmaid, a
symbol of friendship and support as Favour walked down the aisle,
radiating beauty and grace.
Akanbi's first son, Ade Damino, stood tall as his father's best man,
an embodiment of pride and joy. The exchange of vows between
Favour and Akanbi echoed with heartfelt promises and
declarations of unwavering love, sealing their commitment in the
presence of their Lighthouse family.
This is definitely not the end of the Lighthouse Story, but the
