No one appears to know the exact source of *river* yet it runs through all walks of life as it meanders its way along the many struggles of nature. 

How far, how long, how wide can it stretch to exhibit it's commanding prowess over the storms of the day. Or shall it succumb to the harsh efforts of mother nature to subdue and collect this great water in a *lake*.

*RIVER IN THE LAKE SEASON II*

EPISODE 9

They carried him shoulder high till they got to their village where everybody was happily singing and dancing. They put Quaku down gently.

The chief gave Adepa the chance to address the villagers.  He started by greeting them. He went ahead to talk to them about the "All-knowing God." He told them about His mighty power and greatness. He made them understand that He created the world and everything in it, including the gods they worshipped . He had the power to heal, kill, resurrect and even destroy. That was the Almighty God he was talking about.

"He's ever ready to save you if you will turn from your sins. The gods you worship have no power. My God can destroy them today if I call on Him," he went ahead to preach salvation to them.

"My son, please tell your God to destroy our gods and shrine. They are of no use to us anymore. We will serve your God," the chief said. "Yes! Yes!!, we will serve your God", the people chanted.

"Okay, if you say so. I'm going to sing and pray. All I need is your faith and support. My God will send down fire to burn all these buildings belonging to the gods, and as for the fetish priest, my God will deal with him. God alone deserves to be worshipped," Quaku said.

They all marched to the shrine as Quaku sang and prayed. As he was praying, the fetish and chief priests came from their abode to confront him.

They barely got close to him when fire from above came down to burn them and their shrines. God answered by fire. The people were astonished . Quaku Adepa went on his knees and thanked God.

The people were so happy. They danced to the song Quaku sang. When they were done, one asked, "how do we gain salvation?"

"Confess your sins to Him, and believe that He's the only savior. Flee from sin, do good, learn and follow His ways. Do not kill, do not steal. There are more, but if you pray and ask Him to direct you, your ways will always be pure," Quaku replied. "For every problem, no matter what effect it causes, is a lake. It cannot stretch to cause any harm. See yourself a "river" and do not allow the "lake" to swallow you up. You are too big for any problem to cause chaos in ur life. You have God, remember?" Quaku went ahead to say.
