     Two weeks after, Adara went to her regular supermarket to buy some foodstuffs. While she was selecting the vegetable oil she needed, her eye caught a woman richly dressed and she felt she had to talk to that woman but the woman was closed followed by two body guards and that scared her. She picked the oil she wanted and made to move on to the next item on her list but she was feeling disturbed in her heart so she abandoned her shopping basket and went to meet the woman . The woman was walking towards her black jeep with her guards. I picked up my pace and got closer to them, 

“Excuse me please.”

The taller guard confronted me, “Yes? What is it?” 

The woman saved me asking, “Felix, let her be. Dear, what can I do for you?” 

Adara said, “I just need you to believe ma, the Lord is laying it upon my heart that your family needs his healing and your day of being made whole has arrived. Your prayers have been heard and your daughter's marriage is resolved and healed. Her husband will be back. Also, that medically incurable disease that has made your husband confined to the wheelchair disappears right now in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that is above every other name. That's all I have for you ma.” 

As she turned on her heels to leave, the woman said, “Wait.” She turned back to see the woman looking for something in the car, few seconds later, the woman extended two bail of money towards her but Adara said, 

“No, I can't take this

. I didn't pay to get that message and it cost me nothing to tell you. Thank you for the money.”

“All right, if you won't take the money, can I know your address or something?”

Adara said, “Okay, 24 Primrose Drive. I have to get back now.” She went back to continue her shopping. 

......... 

     A week later, Adara was sitting outside the house, sketching out some designs from her head when she heard a scuffle between the gate man and someone and she looked up from her sketch pad and shouted, 

“James, what is the matter?”

“Aunty, this man does not want to tell me his name and he wants to come inside the compound.”

“Let him come in.” Adara replied him and the man came in followed by a familiar looking woman. Adara stood up immediately as they approached her and with them being close, she recognized them instantly, the rich woman from the store nd her guards. 

Adara greeted, 

 “Good afternoon ma.” 

The woman answered, “Good afternoon my dear. Can I sit? We need to talk.” 

Adara said, “Yes ma. Forgive my manners.” 

They sat down while the guards stood, 

The woman explained, “My dear, everything you said has come to reality o. Do you know my daughter has being pregnant for two months now after two and a half years of marriage? And we didn't even know. When her husband heard it, he came running back and begging. Right now, they are on a vacation he took upon himself to arrange just to please her and make up. 

The best surprise and astonishing thing that has ever happened to me happened that day we met. We have not even driven for fifteen minutes before my maid called me and said that my husband stood up from his wheel chair and is even walking slowly already. I didn't know what to believe till I got home. I met my him outside waiting for me and standing without any support and he has been walking ever since or Felix am I lying?” 

Felix affirmed, “No ma, that's the absolute truth.” 

“His doctors were flabbergasted. Nobody expected it.”

“That is God for you ma. He is full of surprises he wants to dish out if only we believe in him.”

“Glory to Jesus.”

“Hallelujah.”

“So, to express our gratitude because the Great Physician has used you to heal me and my household, we have put together this cheque for you. Here.” The woman said and brought out a cheque from her purse then she gave me and I collected it, as she was saying, 

“I just need you to fill in your name...” The woman was saying when Adara interrupted, 

“Ma, this is a five-million-naira cheque.”

“Yes, it is little compared to...” The woman was saying when Adara passed out. The woman stood up and her guards rushed forward to help Adara regain consciousness. After a few minutes of rescuing, Adara blinked her eyes open, they helped her sit properly and after everyone has calmed down, she said, 

“Madam, you don't know what you are doing for me, this can spell a new dawn for me and my business.”

“Business? What do you do?”

“I am a fashion designer, I used to own a label called Zamani but...”

“Are you in any way related to the Zamanis?”

“Yes ma. I was the only daughter of Alhaji Danjuma Zamani. I am Adaramola Halimah Zamani.”

“Seriously? What happened to you?”

“I became a Christian and my Dad sent me out of his house. I have been struggling since and I am staying here with a friend.”

“Wow! Your faith is challenging. So, you left the life you know to pursue a foreign life because of your belief. That us great and rare in this 21st century.

. I seem to recall your Father saying something about you being out of the country because I like fashion a lot so I follow the news and gist. I am glad to be of help and because of this, I promise you, I will be by you. Whatever you need financial or otherwise, I am ready to give you.”

“Ma, I can't thank you enough.”

“Come on, that's not a big deal. You didn't even ask me for my name.”

“That is quite true, I have been so overwhelmed by all these.”

“I am Chief Mrs. Tiwalade Williams.”

“As in the wife of Former Minister of Agriculture, Adedayo Williams?”

“Yes, my dear.”

“Oh my God! I am sitting with a celebrity.” Adara said as they both laughed, 

“You forget you are a celebrity yourself.”

“Yeah, I know, more like former celebrity. Your daughter is Shades Photography.”

“Yes. That's her, Omobolade Williams. I will introduce you to each other. I can feel you will be fast friends.”

“I hope so ma.”

“All right, I have to leave now, I still have to get somewhere. Let's finish up with this cheque and you give me your number. 

“Okay ma.” Adara replied and after doing the needful, Mrs. Williams left, promising to call her soon. 

As Adara sat looking down at the cheque, a prayer came into her mind, 'Lord, make me a financial giant in which giving won't be a problem for me because I don't spend money, I spend grace, favour in Jesus name.' She heaved a sigh and disappeared into the house, that business plan needs to be revisited.
