Part 15
TEACHER CHUKS; Season 4
Opeyemi Akintunde
My first day in class came with its share of disapproving pointers that I wasn’t in the right place…
It was the second semester, and I had resumed to take over from a lecturer who had taken a sick leave in order to attend to his failing health.
As I moved close to the lecture room, I heard a young man talking….
“ You should have seen the way my father opened his arms so wide in a big embrace …I tell you, He is the kind of father that celebrates the return of his wayward children. So guy have you been doing drugs? or lady have you been sleeping around to make ends meet… and right now you feel God cannot forgive you… You are doing yourself so much injustice because all God wants is for you to come back to your right senses and return to HIM…” the young man was saying…
“But why would God forgive a man who has killed so many people ?” A young lady asked
“ That shows the Kind of God, our father is… No sin is too big for him to forgive!”
“ It is easy for you to say that since you have not committed a lot of sins… God can’t forgive guys like us …” I peeped to see a rugged looking student say…
“ I don’t think it can be as bad as what I have done…” the young preacher said
“ I see you have found the class” I heard from behind me. The HOD said as he asked me to come with him to the class…
As we stepped in, the students took their positions, but the young preacher greeted the HOD respectfully…
“ Preacher boy!, You are here “ the HOD said…
“ Just thought I could make someone smile today!” Said the young preacher…
He walked out of the lecture room waving at the students. I wished I could have heard all the terrible things he might have done.
The HOD introduced me to the class and I gave my first lecture, but I still could not get my mind off the young preacher…
As I ended my lecture, I couldn’t help but ask…
“ The young preacher I saw in the class earlier, Is he a student?” I asked
“ Yes, He is a 300 level Fine Art student. His name is Gbenle and he is blind…”a female student replied me…
I was shocked at the fact that he was blind, because he did not come across to me as that. He had walked out of the room by himself…
“ Blind?” I asked confused
“ Yes… but he moves around freely like he isn’t… He knows his way around the school, and most importantly sir, you should see his drawings…they are divine…..” the female student added
The word “ Divine” was like an arrow at my chest. I didn’t want to have anything to do with divinity…
“ Ok… good for him” I said as I walked out of the lecture room…
On getting to my office, I crashed into my seat. I knew the words from the blind preacher was for me. Just like Mercy had said about God gushing over us when we return to Him, the young preacher had said, God celebrates when we return to Him. I reflected on the story of the prodigal son. I remembered reading that his father celebrated His return.
I wanted to know the story of the blind young preacher…
I stood up and asked around, I was directed to go under a tree. I was told that was where he drew his paintings… I drove towards the place and as I was approaching him, I was surprised to see quite a number of art students painting while some ladies were worshiping God in songs…..
I got down and couldn’t believe what I saw next….
I saw about 10 young students painting, the blind preacher sat at the extreme end. The ladies sang deeply in the Holy Ghost that I could feel His awesome presence… I had goosebumps all over my body…
I stayed glued to the spot as I looked at the paintings…
The blind preacher drew a man who had been imprisoned and fear gripped my heart as I looked closely at the image…. it looked like the cell of the SP€RM COLLECTION AGENCY… I kept watching his paintings, I kept telling myself , this painting was not about me, but the more he painted, the more real it was becoming…. I looked at the one who sat beside him, he had the drawing of a lady stripping off the garment of a young man…..
I began to move carefully to see the next painting…. the next painting was a young man interlocking his hands with a red haired woman, who was k!ssing him, but the painting revealed that the woman was pouring red flame into his mouth as he was k!ssing her.
At this point, I was shaking and sweating, I could see God playing out my life to me through paintings done by students who didn’t know me, but were under the influence of the HolySpirit….
The next image cut my heart into a million pieces… It was a female student that was painting… She drew a man who was emitting fire from his mouth on little children…..
At that point, I walked away from under the tree without turning … I forgot my car and was rushing away from the Presence of God… I could feel God was under that tree and I was naked….

TEACHER CHUKS; Season 4
Opeyemi Akintunde
I couldn’t go back to my office. The fear of God made me temporarily numb…I went straight to the mini flat which I had been given by the university….
I thought Of hiding under the bed, which I did. I went under the bed as I wanted to hide from God…
“ So how long are you going to do this?” I heard a voice saying to me in my room… I instantly knew that was God
“ I messed up… I really messed up and because of my sins , Rejoice died… God, I am the greatest sinner, I don’t deserve to be forgiven… Just let me die and rot in hell…” I said in tears
“ The love I have for you won’t let me let that happen to you… “ I heard God say to me and I felt God stretching Forth His hand to me…
I wanted to stretch back my hands back in acceptance , but I thought of the implications… I would have to return to the Lighthouse and tell the teenagers all that happened…
I would have to tell them I failed!
Shame would not let me stretch my hands… I also felt I was no longer important in the lives of the teenagers… I had been replaced and the teenagers had become youths on their own….
I recoiled and I told God I was sorry but I couldn’t go back to the Lighthouse… I told Him I was sorry for my wrong and I promised to keep myself for Him. I even promised to do great works at the University campus I had found myself….
“ You may be doing the right thing but unfortunately at the wrong place, and Son…that kind of right deed will not count…” I heard His Disappearing voice ….
“ God… I will give it my best and it will count…” I said crying to God… I believed I would turn the University around for God and that would change God’s mind…
I moved on with life. I picked up my car the next morning. Gradually, I started winning the students over. They loved my preaching method. I told them a bit of my past and that blew them away…
I gave it my best and in no short time, I had over 200 students in attendance at my weekly prayer meeting…
Gbenle, the blind artist was one of those who attended my meeting. One could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, hence students who had been blessed told other friends about the meeting… After one of our evening meetings, he walked up to me placing a bag of paintings in my hands…
“ I felt led to give you this paintings of mine” He dropped over 15 paintings in my hands and walked away…
I knew what the painting could be … so as to hide my secret, I dropped them in my car…
On getting home, I laid all the paintings on the floor and I was so right… I saw my life displayed right in front of me, I saw the point where I was…. I saw the painting of a man going on a wrong route and ahead of him, unknown to him there was a pit…. I covered the other paintings … I didn’t want to see what was ahead of me…
But…
I couldn’t just go back to the Lighthouse….
Then Risi came into my life unannounced…. Risi was one of my good students… She had beautiful and innocent eyes. She was a great artist. She was a freshman…
I particularly loved her love for God and how she tried to add a touch of spirituality to her drawings.
I was only interested in mentoring her like one of the teenagers at the Lighthouse, but things got complicated along the way…
I became a work of art for her…
