THE SCIENTIST’S GOD (Part 37&38) – Opeyemi Akintunde

PART 37
THE SCIENTIST’S GOD
Opeyemi Akintunde

It was a beautiful reunion for everyone on the Island. Ella’s recovery brought back life on the Island. Everyone gathered in Ella’s hut, including Xavier and Henry.

Henry, Anthony’s son did not disclose his identity. He knew his father alongside Professor Glass were the brain behind the Virus. Seeing Ella was a great relief for Him. At least God had heard his secret prayers. He had been secretly praying that God should forgive his father’s sin and have Mercy on the Land…

“ This is God answering my prayer.” Henry said

Everyone looked at him because that was the first time anyone heard him Speak…

“ I am Senator Anthony’s Son… the man who sponsored the Virus creation. My father was a good Christian but he let his zeal take over him. He had a strong passion for right leadership and he decided to clear away the leaders. When he discovered some people were after his life, he sent me here to hide. He and the rest of my family are dead. So i have been praying all the while for God’s Mercy.”

Xavier couldn’t believe who he had been sharing his hut with, but before he could react, Massai saved the day…

“ Son, He who is without sin should be the first to cast the stone.” Xavier knew that was for him…

“ I am grateful that God in His infinite Mercy has shown us the solution to this Virus. To the Scientists, it might not make sense but we are sure of what we know… While we are still here, we can intercede for the world … We can be the voice that will change the mind of God… If He can heal Ella, it shows that He is still compassionate. Sharon’s untimely demise reminds me of how God sent Fire into the camp of the Children of Isreal when they complained against God in Numbers 11:1-2. Shortly After Sharon posted those insulting words about God, The fireflies came. Hence we need to reverse what she has done… She insulted God Online, but now it is time we flipped the coin… We must praise God instead.

“ I will start the campaign… I am a testimony of What God can do, I will sensitize people to praise God… I believe our voices of praise will get to heaven…” Ella said

“We are in?” Folabi said…

“ Why Don’t we start now? I have a very high-resolution phone, A video will be more convincing “ Smart said

Ella sat down and her testimony video was taken. The video could not be sent as there was no signal. Smart and Folabi drove down to the hospital arena and from there they were able to post the video using Ella’s account.

As the post went online, the reaction was electrifying … People who had tested positive started posting the awesome names of God hoping they would get their testimony as well.

Voices of praise were raised around the world. The few T.V stations that were functioning reposted Ella’s video.

In three hours Ella’s post had reached 20 million views around the world…

Never a time had the world praised God together with one voice as one Man in one day.

*****

Juliana and Naito watched Ella’s video after some days and they were so excited.

“ I want to join the campaign!” Naito said.

“ I want to share my testimony as to How God saved me from witchcraft. Sharing one’s testimony is a way of praising God, I think? Naito said.

“ Absolutely! Testimony is Validating who God is …” Juliana replied.

“ Yes… can I do it?” Naito asked.

Juliana and Naito did a video together. Juliana explained all about the Divine Council meeting and how compassionate God is. Naito told her testimony of how God had been merciful to her saving her from witchcraft. They called God amazing names…

*****

The second king started having the reactions on his body earlier than everyone else. The chef still looked healthy thanks to the daily suppressants he took.

“ I think I have the virus” said the second King to the First King.

“ And I am sure I contacted it on this Airship. Who came on this Ship with the Islingbee Virus!” He said screaming.

Lucky almost passed out when he saw the red flame in the King’s eyes…

Anthony saw the last part of his body withering away like sand and his Spirit laid on the ground. A man who glowed so powerfully walked towards him…

“ Son, it’s time to go home. You made the right choice at the end.” The glowing man said. “ You had to pay the price here on earth so that you can dwell with me in paradise.”

Anthony’s Spirit rose and followed the glowing man.

He didn’t mind that he didn’t die a noble death. He didn’t mind that Henry will never find his corpse or grave, but his happiness was that despite being a terrible sinner, he still was considered worthy to make it to Heaven…

****

Ruth noticed almost everyone on the ship was agitated, there was a lot of pacing up and down… Suddenly the first king came to her cell…

“Ruth, don’t we have any leftovers from the first batch of Antivirus syrup…” The first king said as he kept scratching his body.

“ No, what is happening?” Ruth asked

“ Almost everyone on the ship has contacted the Virus…”

“ Wow… how did that happen?”

“ I don’t know so I think we have to go back and get to a good hospital. The doctors on the ship said they can’t do anything.”

“ Everyone?” Ruth wondered silently.

*****

3 DAYS LATER…

The entire ship was a bit quiet, it seemed people were asleep. She felt the Ship was landing softly. She looked out through the window. Where they were about to land was a desert…

“Rosy!” Ruth called out but there was no response… “Rosy!” she called again…

****

Lucky, the chef was on the floor in the kitchen, his entire body was swollen. He had run out of his suppressant tablets, he had thought by now he would have taken the antivirus, so he brought few tablets to avoid being suspected.

Lucky heard Ruth calling out… Almost everyone on the Ship had died…

And he was dying as well. He suspected the pilot was dying, and probably wanted the ship to land and not crash.

Lucky gathered up His strength, Ruth was the one who ought to have the Antivirus syrup…

“ Maybe she might have a little she is keeping in her stuff!” He reasoned

He stood up and went towards her cell. Along the way, he saw dead people, others were dying. Some had their throat very swollen, they couldn’t cry for help…

“ Lucky!” Ruth said, “ What’s happening?, Why is everywhere so quiet?”

“You …want to know what happened?” Lucky rushed out the words in pain

Lucky brought out the master key and opened the Cell…

Out of Anger, he pushed her to the open area of the cell, where people met to socialize.

Ruth saw the dead and near-dead bodies on the floor.

“ The virus?” Ruth asked.

“ No the party!” Lucky answered sarcastically.

Lucky pulled out the gun he was hiding…

“ Give me some of the original Antivirus, you must have kept some for yourself”

“ I don’t have any…” Ruth said. Lucky shot her on her right leg…

“ I will kill you bit by bit, if you don’t give me what I want..” Lucky said “ I had the virus and was hoping I would get the antivirus syrup once we were on the ship but No! You brought the wrong Antivirus syrup. I tried acting smart by spitting into everyone’s food which because of your punishment to water alone you didn’t eat from… I planned that when everyone fell sick on the plane from the virus, a quick solution would be found…..but not going as planned… so before I kill you, tell me where the original Antivirus syrup is….”

“ I dooon’t have it” Ruth said in agony.

A second gunshot rang in the air…

Lucky had been shot from the back in the head by Agnos, the religion representative…

“ Go tell the world the truth… I was supposed to be the ambassador of truth but I failed God. No human or group of people can win God, even when those at the Tower of Babel did, they failed woefully….” Agnos said

Ruth wept and in her pain, she ran towards the pilot’s cabin,just a comment please.
