Bayo became serious with God, attending church activities Sundays, and during the week, to the point that Pastor Joseph was contemplating ordaining brother Bayo as a Deacon, but his wife felt otherwise.
"Isn't he too young spiritually, honey?" Pastor Funke queried.
"Yes, but not too young to accept responsibility. Responsibility brought me closer to God. I was barely three months old in the Lord, when I was told to be a Sunday school teacher. I declined at first but my Pastor refused to listen to me.
I became fused to my bible and would read ten chapters a day. He would give me time to meet with him so as to ask questions. I grew beyond my contemporaries. Are you listening my sweet?"
"Yes, I'm all ears, but I feel he can be our usher or protocol officer in the church. You can keep him close to you. Test him gradually, before giving him a higher office." Pastor Funke insisted.
"Well that's why you are my helper. Whatever I can not see clearly, you will notice and see to complement mine. You are my check and balances."
Bayo became the talk of the whole Church. He was fabulous, and faithful in attendance of fellowship. His consistency marvelled everyone in the church. A drunkard has become a faithful member of a thriving Church in Modakeke.
God started to use him to convert his former friends in the beer parlour. They were coming to Pastor Joseph's Church one by one to the excitement of everyone in the fellowship. What a committed member!
What they did not know was that he was still struggling with drinking of beer. He sneaks to get beer from the parlours from time to time.
He was not happy with himself, but he couldn't confide in the pastor, because Pastor was always praising him, and he hated to disappoint a man who cares so much for him. He couldn't confide in his wife, Anu because he doesn't want to hurt her feelings again.He became confused, and so decided to sneak out, to a place where he was not known.
What he does not know was, nothing can be hidden from God. It would have been better to confess his weakness to the pastor and would have received help.
One of the days, pastor asked him,
"My brother, thank God for your life, I hope you have no problem with drinking again. I see you are bringing others to church. Anyway, I trust you, but in case you are tempted, you can let me know. Temptation is not a sin, until you commit the act."
"Thank you very much sir. I'm doing fine by God's grace. But I have a quick question to ask you." Bayo replied.
"Okay brother Bayo, today is Sunday and very busy, but come during the week and ask me the question. God bless you." Pastor uttered, not knowing that delay is dangerous.
Bayo went home more confused about his drinking habit. He prayed and fasted, but he goes back to take it from time to time, though does not get drunk. After some time, he wasn't bothered about it again. Though he hides to take it.
After several months of indulgence, he went to the outskirts of the town to buy and take home, then he saw sister Janet one of the members of the choir in the parlour. They exchanged pleasantries and he left without purchasing beer. He couldn't sleep that night.
The following day which was Sunday, they met after service. The sister rushed to him and they greeted warmly.
"Brother Bayo, so you still indulge in taking beer, isn't it?"
Bayo kept numb, didn't want to lie and didn't want to say the truth. The sister then knew that his silence meant he was still taking it.
"Brother Bayo, I will not tell anyone about this, I promise you, but you will do me a favour too."
Bayo's eyes widened in surprise, and he replied, "A favour? What do you mean?" Surprised at her request.
"Well nothing goes for nothing. I need you to come to my house and take me to a restaurant. Hmm, no need, just come and I will cook for you."
"Sister Janet, please leave me alone. I know that I have a problem but God will deliver me.".
"Okay now, be sure that the whole Church will hear your drinking habit. I have left you alone." She left and went home without looking back.
Bayo could no longer rest. He called another brother in the church and they both went to her house to greet her.
She was excited and as they leaving her house. She whispered to Bayo.
"Please, come back later in the evening by seven. After all your wife is not at home."
Bayo became troubled, he knew that the sister was up to something. He thought of what to do, then decided to inform Anu.
"See there is a particular sister who wants me to come to her house this evening. Can I go and see her?"
"Oh Bayo, thank you for telling me. You can go now. Your taking permission has made me happy. Brother Bayo!" She teased him and chuckled but Bayo became restless.
He decided to go there to see sister Janet.
As soon as he knocked her door, she opened the door, and he entered. She entered into one of her rooms and returned much later.
"Ha! what is this sister Janet?" Bayo screamed. Sister Janet wore pant and no brassiere. Bayo covered his face, but she came and hugged him. His strong member stood, she moaned in pleasure.
Bayo could no longer resist her, he looked at her two lovelies, he groaned, then he saw her thighs, he sighed deeply, gazing into her lovely eyes, she rolled over enticing him to draw closer. He rushed to grasp one of the apples, and suck the other.
He entered into her fully to the delight of the lady. What he did not know was that a camera was hidden to grasp everything. Alas, it was recorded.
Brother Bayo fell flat. After rounds of deep pleasure, he came back to his senses, and he wept like a baby.
"Ha sister Janet! You are a devil. I hate you!" He growled, his eyes had turned red.
"Listen brother Bayo, it's too early to complain. We have just started doing this. I'm sure you enjoyed me, isn't it." She mocked and bursted out laughing.
"You will never get away with this!" He growled.
