Truth can't be buried for long

Truth can't be buried for long

This Saturday evening, I read an article of @Princessbusayo and she talked about Truth in her article and how it can never be hidden for long, you can check it here, I was writing a comment in the comment back and it was kind of turning into an article, then I decided to just write on it, since I am still thinking on a topic to write on.

This just reminds me of a story my pastor wife told us in church, base on a true-life event.

There was these set of siblings that only the female in the family was able to buy a car and build a house, the male children can strive and strive and strive, but no way, even when the sisters planned and bought a car the elder brother, immediately he enters the car, he drove it against the wall, they started looking for what was worrying them, before the event happen, a mad man went to the compound and told them that he can't ride the car or else he will die, they try to stop the mad man from leaving but he left and no one saw him again. They decided to look for solutions and they went to a church, when they got to the church, the pastor told them that they should travel to the village and ask their uncle what is happening to them, they went straight to the village from the church and approach their uncle about it, the uncle resisted and didn't want to tell them, but after some talks, he decided to open up to them.

Long time ago, before your father got married to your mother, he ran over a girl with his car at night in a lonely road, he didn’t go back to help her and rush her to the hospital because he know that no would have been able to survive that, he was shaking that night and he couldn’t keep it to his self, because it was too heavy for him to carry alone, he told me about it and made me promise him that I will not tell anyone about it, which I kept for more than 50 years, until now.

The pastor now told them that the girl didn't die instantly, she was bleeding to death and if their father went back to check on her, she would have survived it but he didn't, the girl swore that no male child in the family will be able to buy and drive their car, which has been affecting the male children in the family, they wanted to look for the girl family so they can apologize to them, but unfortunately she was an orphan, they went to different orphanage and did charity there, after some weeks, things started working for the whole family, especially the male children. The truth can’t be buried for long.

This other story was from a movie

There was a big pastor, well know in the state, and everyone that goes to him always receive miracles, the pastor was a true man of God, after years of marriage, he wasn't able to have a child, he would pray for others to have the fruit of the womb, including women without a womb, they receive it and come to testify in his church, he prayed and prayed for years, until no avail, the wife faith began to shake, she traveled to the village to visit her mother, the mother took to a herbalist or river goddess (I can't seem to remember because it's been long I watched it) they told her to do some certain things, which she did because her mother was putting pressure on her, after all that, she became pregnant and the pastor was happy that her wife was pregnant, he didn't know what the wife and had done behind him, when the wife put to bed, immediately the pastor saw the saw baby, he became very sick and he was turning into a vegetable, the church went into prayers for him, to no avail, so they decided to call another pastor, who happen to be a rival to this pastor, they don't get along the way, immediately the pastor steps into the compound of the other pastor, he saw what was wrong, he respectfully asked the sick pastor to tell them what happened 20 years ago, even before he was a pastor, the sick pastor has forgotten because he thought that his sins as been long forgiven, the pastor narrated the story that, long before he was a pastor, he was driving on the road when he hit a young boy, he couldn't stop because he was afraid that people will hold him, so he drove off, the elder sister of the boy ran to him with tears and was telling him not to die (both of them were hulking before he was hit) after he narrated the story, the pastor told him that was the reason God divided to not give you a child, he told the pastor and the few people that were around that the sister of the boy is here, he point out a lady in among the crowd, the lady started crying because his brother was hit by a runaway driver years back and the spirit of the boy as been trying to talk to him for years, the sick pastor apologize to him and the lady accepted and told him that she has forgiven him, the pastor now turned to the sick pastor wife and told her that, he knows this baby is not from God that the baby was from the river, everyone went into prayers, immediately the baby disappeared, the pastor became well. The secret he kept to himself and he thought that no one will ever hear the truth.

Truth might be hidden for 50 years and above, but one day, it will surely come out and everyone will know about it.
