The Barren Wife 

A short intro...⤵️

FADE IN

🎞️ MONTAGE – [Before Counseling]

INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT

CHIOMA (early 30s) sits on the edge of her bed, clutching a pillow. Her eyes are swollen from crying.

Her husband, EMEKA, walks in quietly, avoiding eye contact, removes his shirt and lies down without saying a word.

• Flashback shows Emeka at a family meeting, hesitantly saying:

•  EMEKA (V.O.)
•  "I know it sounds wrong… but after seven years, maybe we should consider a second wife — I need a child and I don't think anyone can blame me for desiring a worthy successor."

• Chioma runs into the bathroom, sobbing uncontrollably.

🎬 INT. CHURCH SERVICE – SUNDAY MORNING

Chioma stands during worship, tears flowing as she joins the choir to sing:

 “You are the God that healeth me…”

• Moments later, Chioma sits down and sends a text to Pastor Olu:

•  TEXT: “Sir, I need to see you. Alone. It’s urgent. Please.”

🎬 INT. PASTOR OLU’S OFFICE – DAY

A peaceful, elegant office. Chioma sits across from Pastor Olu with teary eyes.

PASTOR OLU

(standing, smiling warmly)

Sister Chioma, you sounded serious in the message you sent to me. Please have a seat.

She sits. Her hands tremble slightly.

CHIOMA

(voice shaky)

Thank you, daddy… But I am tired. I don't know what to do anymore, I didn’t know who else to talk to.

PASTOR OLU

You’re not alone. Please, speak freely.

CHIOMA

(She pauses, takes a deep breath.)

Sir… It’s been over seven years since I got married. But guess what, no child. Not even a one-month pregnancy at least to prove that I am fertile. We’ve done all the tests. Nothing is medically wrong with me… Just two weeks ago, my husband said he's fed up… he… he suggested taking another wife. At this point sir, I feel useless. Betrayed. Empty.

PASTOR OLU

(gently)

I’m sorry, Sister CHIOMA, for all that you've gone through. And the way your husband is acting lately, from what you just told me, has pierced your heart greatly.

She nods, tears falling.

CHIOMA

Man of God, I serve in more than two departments in this Church. I fast, I give, I pray. I may have made some mistakes in the past as a young lady, but… I’ve begged God. I've asked for His mercy. So what exactly is wrong with me?

PASTOR OLU

Sister Chioma, I want you to believe that all will be well. The Lord sees your efforts and, indeed, He rewards faithfulness. But sometimes, the issue of the ‘womb’ is more spiritual than physical. And it could also be that there are secret matters that God wants you to address first.

He opens his Bible.

Let us read First Samuel chapter 1 verse 10 to 11:

•  "And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore…"

Hannah’s pain drove her to surrender — not just for a child, but for full alignment with God's will.

CHIOMA

Daddy, are you saying… maybe there is something wrong with my heart?

PASTOR OLU

Not wrong, but wounded. And when the heart holds pain, bitterness, or malice for too long, it can block the flow of ‘divine frequency’.

As you were speaking, it was revealed to me in a clear vision just now that you have grudges against your husband and, if not that you're a child of God, this grudge can force you to do something terrible that will make you end up in Hell Fire when you eventually leave this world by physical death… Sister Chioma, can you forgiven your husband?

CHIOMA

(hesitates)

Sir, I… I don’t want to talk about that side. My husband has really hurt me… and the best way for me to answer him is to get pregnant and have a child as soon as possible. How can I forgive him when I don't have what is making him to disrespect me?

PASTOR OLU

My dear, you can't dictate to God. You have to start with surrender first, I mean total surrender to the voice of God. Go on your knees this night when you get home, and cry before the Lord, telling Him you have forgiven your husband and any other person that must have hurt you in one way or the other. Let God feel your sincerity and he will soften your heart. After this is done, He will do that which you are looking up to Him for.

He stands up and hold her hands gently.

PASTOR OLU (CONT’D)

You can start now. Please open up your heart and let me pray for you — a prayer for healing, for forgiveness, and for fruitfulness.

(Soft strings play as Pastor Olu prays deeply for Sister Chioma)

PASTOR OLU (PRAYER)

• Heavenly Father, I bring the situation of this Your daughter before You this hour in the name of Jesus Christ. Please Lord, look beyond her inadequacies and human tendencies. Just the way You opened Sarah’s womb; You remembered Hannah; and gave life to barren lands... Let Your mercy flow upon Sister Chioma right now. Heal her heart o Lord. Rebuild trust in her home… And by the authority You gave to me as Your Apostle, I decree that her womb will carry life before the end of this year (Amen!)... I cast out any spirit of delay. I terminate the spirit of shame. And I ask that a garment of honour be placed on her from this day henceforth, in Jesus’ precious name I pray (Amen!)...

Chioma sobs, a weight visibly lifted.

🎞️ MONTAGE – [After Counseling]

INT. BEDROOM – FEW HOURS LATER

Chioma and Emeka sit on the couch, talking quietly. Emeka holds her hand.

Multiple flash scenes of them kneeling together in prayer every night.

🎬 EXT. MATERNITY CLINIC – 3 MONTHS LATER

Chioma exits a government clinic, holding a test result, eyes wide.

She kneels on the grass outside, hands lifted to heaven.

INT. CHURCH – SUNDAY SERVICE (8 MONTHS LATER)

Chioma leads worship, glowing, radiant with peace. Her pregnancy now obvious.

Pastor Olu watches from the front row, smiling and thanking God.

🎬 INT. CHURCH – TESTIMONY TIME 

Chioma, now visibly pregnant, stands before the congregation.

She speaks, excitement in her voice:

CHIOMA

“The God who remembers Hannah… has remembered me.”

CUT TO: PASTOR OLU eyes closed in prayerful thanks.

🎬 INT. PASTOR OLU’S OFFICE (WEEKS LATER)

Pastor Olu receives Sister Chioma, her husband and their newly born twin babies - a boy and a girl - in his elegant office.

PASTOR OLU

Sister Chioma and Brother Emeka, we thank God that your 'situation' has ended in praise. Like I said during my sermon, some wounds are deeper than the skin — they’re rooted in the soul. But when we surrender the pain, forgive the offense, and speak to God with a truly clean heart… the impossible becomes possible. Today, what many thought was impossible in your family has become POSSIBLE. Praise the Lord (Alleluia!)...

All I have to say to the both of you now is that you should keep walking in faith and make sure to bring up these children in the way of the Lord... Go in peace. Your case is settled!
