Her first daughter got married in 2004
Prophecies about the marriage came to her as far back as 1992
The girl was only fifteen years old at the time
She went to a pentecostal church with a friend and as they were leaving the church
Somebody called her "Tokunbo's mother"
Her first
daughter was named Tokunbo
She turned around expecting to see a familiar face
The person was a stranger
The person was the invited guest that ministered in that church that day
The man said "Tell your daughter her husband shall come from America, I see her in a NYSC uniform, is
she observing the NYSC at the moment?
She said no, her daughter was in SS 2
He said, her husband will come when she is observing the NYSC, they will both relocate to America
She will live most of her life in America
She will have a good home
Tell her to be full of the Holy Spirit
That was the message
1993 came, her daughter was preparing to write WAEC
A taxi came out of nowhere and hit her into the drainage beside the road two weeks to her examination
She was rushed to the hospital
It was a matter of life and death
Everybody, even the doctors thought she
wouldn't make it
But she knew her scriptures
Apostle Paul told Timothy to wage war with the word of prophesy spoken over him
She waged war with the prophecy, reminding the Lord that His word said concerning her daughter
That she will grow up to graduate from the University and
observe the NYSC
That she will meet her husband while she was observing the NYSC and relocate with him to America
She waged war day and night with the Word of God
Her husband was not much of a believer
He kept telling her to open the Bible for him and show him where she saw what
she was always referring when she said "You said in your Word, that Olatokunbo shall not die but live to the good ness of God. You said Olatokunbo shall grow old enough to graduate and observe her NYSC, you said Olatokunbo shall be married and her husband shall come from the USA,
you said in your word that Olatokunbo shall have children in America and keep a good home
You said Olatokunbo shall be a blessing to me and the world
I know you will never lie, I know your word shall never fail for you have exalted your name above your name!
Olatokunbo lives!
After 33 days in a coma, Olatokunbo opened her eyes
She started responding to treatment
She had to go through five plastic surgeries on her face for her to come out in public
It took millions of Naira to patch her up
WAEC was postponed for her sake that year for the first time
in many years
She wrote the examination and passed
She gained admission into the University
She graduated with a second class Upper
She was posted to Lagos for her NYSC
She wrote the recruitment examination for an insurance firm and they took her as an intern as a youth corps
member
She was posted to their Human Resources Unit
A client based in the USA came to the country for the Christmas holidays
While in the country, he decided to pick up Insurance for some properties
He met Olatokunbo and they became really fast friend
He asked her out and three
months later proposed to her
According to the Word of God, they got married the following Christmas when he returned home for another Christmas break
They put in the paperwork and relocated to America
She became a mother of wonderful children and her home was indeed blessed!
Her second daughter came to her with a list of names in 2007
She was old enough to get married but she had around her a lot of "toasters" but none was serious about getting married
Her daughter had graduated and was gainfully employed
Why wasn't her case as easy as that of her
older sister?
She prayed and fasted and called upon the name of the Lord
Her daughter clocked 30 as a spinster
It became a tug if faith
Eventually, God showed up for them
Her husband came like one riding a chariot of glory
He was located in the UK and someone connected them
He
was not even on the list of suitors she had the year before that they were praying over
He came with the intention to marry her and married her
it was all over within eight months
She relocated with him to the UK too and their home was a delight
But for her sons, she didn't fast
and her pray
The first brought home his wife in 2009 and the marriage was done in 2010
The second brought home his wife in 2007 and the marriage was done in 2011
She didn't ask any question or carry out any investigations
The marriages were good and they both have their families
After the wedding of the second son, her last biological child, a girl, walked into her room and asked her why she tarried in prayer over her daughters but didn't bother to pray over the boys
Her daughter felt she did not treat the children equally and she wanted to know why
She told her daughter it was all about spiritual maturity
The boys took to the Lord and grew up hearing from the Lord
Their walk with the Holy Spirit was at a higher level since they were teenagers
She was convinced they were led by the Holy Spirit in their choices and since they
had never given her a reason to second guess their decision making since they were teenagers and walking with God, she had no reason to second guess their choices of a life partner
Her daughter understood it clearly, her older brothers were tongue talking believers whose walk-in
the spirit was very clear and evident
They were the ones that led her to Christ and got her filled with the Holy Spirit
They have on several occasions to their mother what the Holy Spirit said to do and after doing such, they found it to be indeed divine and from God! It made a
lot of sense to her
Three years later, she was in 400 level in Unilag when the Holy Spirit led her husband to her
She went home and told her mother she wanted to get married
Her mother said "When"
No stress, no argument, no second-guessing
She got married just before she left for
NYSC
She married a friend of her oldest brother who was also a fellowship leader and a youth pastor
She relocated with him to America two years later with their baby girl
I had to write this true-life story after reading form a lady yesterday
She said her pastor called her and
broke off her engagement to the love of her life by claiming that he had a dream and saw that if she married the guy, she would die young
Three weeks later, he informed the guy that he had found a wife for him and prayed him into a courtship with another lady in the same church!
What!
What sort of Christians are we raising?
Christians that pastors see visions and get directions of the Holy Spirit for
Wow!
The Holy Spirit is not a dictator
That is why the scripture says "Our spirit bears witness with your spirit"
It is not unusual for the Holy Spirit to
say the same thing to ten people or five people or at least three people at the same time
This is why we judge prophecies
This is why we became full of the Holy Ghost
If your Holy Ghost is not deaf and dumb, why is somebody else using Him to put you at a disadvantage?
Wow!
Three Is A Crowd gbengawemimo.com/post/three-is-… The Holy Spirit will never rob you
to profit another one of his children
it is not His way
Pastors do this and get away with it
because they know you have refused
to grow spiritually

I have always been a TRUMP supporter
I didn't choose to support him because of his party
I supported him because of his person
I like people who mean what they say and say what they mean
Political correctness is hypocrisy
Saying the "right "thing when I don't mean it is evil!
I have equally respected the Democratic Party of America
I love Bill Clinton and Obama
I bought all their published books and read them with joy
I don't believe a political party can get it right all the time
And I believe not all candidates for a political office will appeal to
the eyes and ears the way we desire them to
The attempt on the life of President Donald Trump is not something to ignore
Looking at footage again and again convinced me beyond doubt that it was allowed to happen by those who think the assassin was probably doing the whole world
When you notice that someone has a soft spot for you, the ideal thing to do is to keep it as a form of social currency, so that on the day you really need him or her to come through for you, the person will not think twice.
Some of us think soft spots don't run dry, so we begin
to milk it
We put all our problems on it and make a nuisance of ourselves
By the time the soft spot runs dry, we would have lost all our social credit with the person and turn ourselves into persona non-Granta
Managing relationships is a skill that has saved many from ruin from
the days of Abraham till now
If you are dating a guy who is loving and generous, pushing him to cater to your needs and that of your friends is irresponsible
Pushing him to start fending for your family is irresponsible
If you think that is him appreciating your value, you are
People who face death everyday tend to think in a certain manner
The way they dimension reality is different from the way people who are into less risky lifestyles dimension reality
A soldier and a teacher are from two different planets, the way they see life and relate with life
Are very different
The way they see love and relationships can never be the same
The way they arrange their world, separating what is real from what is not real is not the same.
Not all soldiers are combatants, every combatant deal with their own ghosts of war in their own way
To be married to a man who sees war constantly (risks being killed daily and also kill daily) and apply the rules that others apply to their husbands who is into banking, real estate, taxi driving, teaching or farming is the most unrealistic thing I have seen several women do
When you read a thread accusing someone of doing any wrong on social media, don't be in a haste to support, retweet, fight for or encourage the accuser.
Dont start tagging the employers of the accused and go all out for blood, sometimes via @YouTube
The accused is not guilty of the crime
You just may be nailing an innocent man or woman to a coffin
I am happy this doctor was cleared eventually
I stood by him when he was accused because I saw the evidence and it was obvious the girl was lying
I found myself in blogs and other
publications because I decided not to keep quiet for the mob asking for his head on a pike.
The accuser's Pastor knew she was lying, i spoke with him one-on-one, and he said he didn't want the girl writing threads about him on Twitter
He lacked the courage to do the right thing!
He wrote: When you guys started having children, you flew our mother to the UK for Omugwo
Between the two of you, mummy has stayed in the UK for over 16 years because as soon as she finished nursing the baby of A she would move to B's house to help her nurse her baby
We were five
but you ladies being the first two girls manipulated it in such a way that mummy couldn't come to help any of us here in Nigeria to nurse our babies or care for our spouses when we got married and started having children
When Ada got married in 2011, mummy came home briefly for
her wedding and then Justina gave birth and she had to return to the UK for babysitting and Omugwo duties.
In all this, Daddy protested and so did we but you gaslighted us and made us feel as if we were inconsiderate
When I got married to my own wife, in 2013, I wrote to you that
Oftentimes, I will get a message from a believer who claims God has made him or her certain promises but those promises have gone unfulfilled
I will ask for specifics and they will eagerly share how they received a word of prophecy or saw a vision and how
several years later, the vision had gone unfulfilled while their lives had remained in limbo
I would tell them how i learned from the same person the difference between Faith and Hope
Faith does not understand how to wait, it is an action word, a doing word while hope must wait
Many believers exercise hope and call it faith
For faith, all it takes to accomplish what has been promised or prophesied has been given to the believer right from the moment he or she received the word
For hope, there are other factors at play which are beyond the control of
