Bimpe’s parents who were overjoyed to have their daughter back had failed to realize that something was wrong.

In the bathroom, Bimpe cried as the shower ran over her back. She wished the water will wash away the pain. More thoughts kept running through her mind. Could there still be God, if there is one, then, she had fornicated. “Ahh.... Bimpe, you had sex some days ago, the same thing she preached against.” She was confused and did not know what to call it. “Will God be angry at her for having premarital sex, will she be able to recover?”, more thoughts ran to through her mind.

Will God count it as sin? Maybe it’s not a sin, but how could she wash away the guilt? Will her husband-to-be or people believe her story? Tears ran from her eyes as these thoughts ran through her mind.

Her skin was scrubbed hard to wash away the filth and guilt, but it brought no peace. She washed off the blood that had stained her underwear and came to the dining for her food.

It was at that point her mum studied her once cheerful daughter and suspected something was wrong. She observed her for some minutes and realized that all was not well. At that point, she wept on the inside. She was not sure about what had happened to her daughter.

When she was done eating, she called her, “Bimpe, what happened?”

She looked at her mother and kept quiet. She could not find the words to speak up. Her mum asked her to stand up, but she did not budge. Her mum stood up and pulled her up. She studied her daughter’s body to check for signs of physical abuse, but saw none.

She wished her worst fear had not happened. She asked her, “Bimpe, what happened? Did they touch you?”. 

Bimpe kept silent and said nothing. Her father, who sat in the living room, turned his head towards their direction to hear her response.

Bimpe’s mother who was getting worried asked her again, “Did they touch you?” This time a bit aggressive out of fear.

Bimpe realised she was causing a scene in the house and replied her mum. “Yes mum, they did”  as she broke down in tears.

Her mum went silent and said nothing. Tears gushed down from her face. Her dad sank back in his chair and became sad. He had no words to utter as he was hurt and also speechless.

Bimpe’s mum looked at her and sobbed. She felt pity and pain in her heart. “God, you must punish them. They must not go Scot free”, she said in between sobs.

She got hold of herself while raining curses on her daughter’s kidnappers. She took her daughter into her room .

Bimpe whose tears were flowing down her cheeks acted like a robot as she was pulled and pushed towards the bed.

She raised her gown and checked her daughter’s genitals as she wept. She cleaned her tears and asked Bimpe what happened?

In between tears, Bimpe told her mum the whole ordeal. Her mum consoled her and told her not to worry, that it will be alright as she hugged her.

The next morning Bimpe’s mum took her to the hospital for medical check up. At the hospital she stared at the doctor, expecting some kind of help like the lame man who sat at the beautiful gate.

After the physical checks had been done on her, she was asked to meet a counsellor. She never got the relief she was looking for from the counsellor. “Maybe time will heal her heart”, so she thought.

On their way home, they met a friend of her mum who gave them a lift. While her mum and her friend chatted, as her mum decided not to speak about what happened to Bimpe in front of her. Bimpe listened to the message that played from the CD player.

She believed that the world made little sense to her, and all that remained was for her to keep living her life like a zombie with no focus.

While she listened to the message, as she tried to forget the entire experience of the horrible night which had clung to her mind since the incident, she heard the preacher say “God can still save, if you believe”.

She got pissed off hearing the preacher, but somehow she forced herself to listen to the trash he had to spill from his mouth. She said in her heart, if only God had disappointed him before, peradventure he will pick up another profession and stop preaching.

The preacher spoke about how the Hebrew boys were saved from the fire. He elaborated on the fact that God did not save them before they were thrown into the fire, but after they were thrown in.

He said, “God is not in a hurry to show his power, he has his reasons. If he had acted before they were thrown in, then the God of the Hebrew boys would not have been magnified before their eyes.

He also spoke about Jesus responding to the sickness of Lazarus after 4 days when it was obvious that he was already dead. 

“If Christ had just healed him when he was sick. People who came from afar for his burial would not have been around to see the awesomeness of God glory. And they had reasons to praise God more when they found out that Jesus did not just heal the sick but also raise a man up from the dead after 4 days, when his body was already decaying,” he said.

If Peter was not saved before he entered the prison then it obvious God has grand plans for us, when we think there is no hope. If he could shake the prison foundation and open the chains that held Paul and Silas bound, after they had been flogged then he will always save his own.

God can never be late, he knows the best time for everything. He only needs us to keep believing. He sees an end we can never. We must always believe in God.

What we call “late” in man’s terminology means the end of man (self). And it is at such moments that God wants to start, if we will believe in him and call on him. The beginning of God is the end of man’s effort. 

The words that Bimpe heard melted her soul, and she saw reasons to have hope. At that point, it was obvious she had made an error. She had lost hope in God. She stopped believing in God just because of her virginity, yet they were men who had lost their hands, legs, eyes and even their head and yet they never changed their confession of Christ at death.

Bimpe bowed her head and cried. She felt bad for the things she had said to herself about God. She asked the all merciful God for mercy, for denying him, and asked him to heal her. 

At that point, the pain in her heart left and she saw a new light. She realized that the Hebrew boys said we know that our God is able to save us BUT EVEN IF HE DOES NOT SAVE US, WE WILL NOT BOW.

She prayed and asked God to help her not to bow to the circumstances of life but constantly keep her faith in Christ. 

Bimpe cleaned her tears and praised God in her heart for the relief. When she got home, she went to her room to give him praise. She praised him with songs till she could feel the very presence and power of God in her room. 

It was at that point that Jesus appeared in her room. When she saw him, she was scared because of his glory and the brightness of his personality. Jesus asked her not to be scared and said, I am the Son of God who was made flesh.

She was dumbfounded and did not know what to do or say but kept staring at him. Jesus looked at her with love. And said, “I love you and will not stop loving you”. As he said those words, she saw God’s love in a flash, from the time of her birth till that very moment. It was evident that God had been in control of her life.

She wept and was grateful. He held her close and told her he had grand plans for her and showed her what she was to become and do for him.

Her assignment was to restore those who have been wounded and have fallen by the wayside. All those who have lost hope in life or have been traumatised by various events in their life, including rape victims.

She was instructed her to share her story when necessary and he would give the words in her mouth life, that people will see his saving power.

He laid his hands on her lips and poured oil on her head from a jar that appeared out of nowhere. “I send you amongst wolves but you will overcome and I will be with you.”, He said.

After the instructions, he told her he would send people to her and she would know what to do in every situation she finds herself in (she would have a solution to every of their problem).

He admonished her not to lose faith no matter what happens, but to trust the Holy Spirit to see her through. After the instructions, he disappeared.

She praised God for some more minutes and put all she had heard into writing.

When she came out of her room, she shared her experience with her mum and her mum praised God. It was evident that Bimpe had an encounter as the smile and glow on her face was visible. She was so joyful.

The next day in school, her classmates who heard she was kidnapped came around to ask her what happened. She had to tell them after school hours. It was at that point, the Holy Spirit took over as she narrated her ordeal.

She told them how she was raped, and how pained she was initially, but was happy that God still loved her and has healed her heart. She told them she is not angry with her assailant any more since she had forgiven him. And had prayed that God will shine his light on him.

As she kept speaking, her friends broke down in tears and shared their own ordeal of how they had been raped or how someone had killed a relative of theirs and how they said they would not forgive them.

They wept because they saw they were the ones suffering because of unforgiveness. They all shared their different predicaments. 

When they were all done, Bimpe prayed for them. And they sang worship songs together. While singing, the Holy Ghost baptised everyone of them and they prophesied and spoke in tongues.

Bimpe just knelt and kept praising God in tongues for what he was doing. She saw visions of other persons she would need to meet in school and church while praising God. And some others who will also come to her.

When her friends got home, their parents knew that something different had happened to them. They all acted differently.

Within a short while in school, Bimpe's story had gone round in the school and people shared their challenges with her and as she prayed for them, they saw results.

A day came when Bimpe was to take the exhortation for the morning assembly. While she was speaking the place became charged with God’s presence that a student who had goitre was healed. Some other persons received healing in various parts of their body.

So many persons in her school gave their lives to Christ just because of Bimpe Story. She went as far as her neighborhood and continued preaching, teaching and praying for the sick during weekends.

So many were saved. It’s obvious that when situations seem dead and a man has come to his wit's end, that God shows up.

Hmm.…it’s obvious that GOD LOVES THE DEAD... the dead situation that makes his glory to be seen. Just like in the case of the Hebrew boys who were thrown into the fire and there was no hope for them in the eyes of man.

He turns around the situation that no one will ever know that it ever happened.

God knows all you are going through. Only come to the end of yourself (your effort) and he will arise for you.

Take note: He does as he pleases, for he knows what is best. 

Dan 3:17-18

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us.…But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”

God loves
