It began as a harmless banter
He was married
She was single
He was the Acting Head of Public Relations in his company
He had assumed he was going to be given the role based on his performance
Suddenly he received a memo that the company had employed a Head of Public Relations and
He had to answer to her
He told himself the organization didn’t want to give the youth a chance
He assumed they recruited someone older and more he experienced
He was doing a fantastic job and he knew it
A few days later, his boss resumed and he was shocked
His boss was a lady
A lady who was five years younger than him
He didn’t know what to think
Was it a “We need more female in this organization” thing or a measure of how the management saw him?
He had no problem answering to the lady but he had a problem with nepotism
He was not sure she was brought
In because she was more competent than he was
He felt she must be related to someone or sleeping with someone
He wanted to resign but a friend counsel led him not to
“Wait a while...
See how things pan out....”
His friend admonished him
He listened and started working with her
She was a mathematics prodigy
She was also a computer programming prodigy
She was not a Public Relations material
The more he got to know her the more he felt something was fishy
One day he asked her if she was in a relationship, she shook her head
He smiled
He told her he was
Married but things didn’t work out
He and his wife were divorced
They had a daughter
She told him she had never been in a relationship
He said “No wonder”
She felt his words had a deeper meaning and asked him what he meant
He said she was uptight, socially awkward and impulsive
She said it was a price she had to pay for the gift of her mind
He shrugged and left the matter alone
The following day, around noon, she walked into his office and said “Please don’t take this the wrong way but can you kiss me?”
He looked at her as if she had gone crazy
She said
“I am sorry. It came out the wrong way” and left his office
He watched her leave and smiled
An hour later she was back
This time he kissed her
He had also been thinking about it since she made the request
“It was just a kiss anyway”
The kiss lasted for a few seconds, as expected
It was awkward
But neither of them pulled away
They kissed again
This time deeper and more confidently
It was a better kiss, by the time they came up for air, they both wanted more
She locked the door of his office and they had a kiss with all hands on deck
When they were done
She looked at him and said “I like this and I want to do more than kiss but I think I am losing my mind right now. I am definitely not thinking straight but can we have sex?
If we don’t do it today, it is probably never going to happen
He nodded
He told her to dress up
He drove
to a hotel and did the booking
He gave her a call
She joined him and they did it all day
That was how they started having casual sex
Nobody in the office knew
They met at some odd places and sometimes pulled some stunts in their respective offices
There was no “ownership” issue
He was free to live his life as he wanted and she was free to live her life as she wanted
Neither of them told anybody what they were doing with each other
Nobody suspected a thing
Then his ex-wife decided she wanted to give the marriage a chance
That was what he also wanted all
along
He wanted to be with his family
The divorce was orchestrated by his wife’s parents because of an event that happened between them and his own parents
He and his wife were not even at the occasion but he was told that his mother said something unflattering about his wife’s
Mother and his wife’s mother heard it
The next he knew his wife had been ordered back home and they were separated
When he was told what happened, he begged his mother to apologize
His mother refused and the separation led to divorce
He and his wife were victims and he had prayed
fervently that his wife would break free of her parent’s control and come back to him
But that was before the casual sex thing
He suddenly realized the marriage was too emotionally draining and stressful
His wife noticed his lack of enthusiasm with alarm
She knew there was a
Third party in the picture
She tried as much as possible to find out who the third party was to no avail
On the surface it seemed as if she was wrong but her instincts kept telling her his lack of interest was because his head was being turned by someone else
After three months
Of back and forth
She went on her knees in prayer
She had learnt her lessons and had resolved to do better in her marriage
What she needed was a chance and her husband seemed determined not to give her one
She asked the Holy Spirit to intervene
On the 20th of December, 2020. She
was told that the National Identity Number staff members were at a location close to her husband’s office
She went there
Her husband’s boss (She didn’t know this) was also there
Because the day was a Sunday, the crowd was not much but they were still about fifty
They got talking
Her husband’s boss took a liking to her daughter and that got them talking
She told her husband’s boss that she was divorced
She said she wanted to reconcile with her husband after dealing with her baggage but her husband had been unenthusiastic about it
She usually minded her
business
She couldn’t explain what happened that day
They talked for about three hours
The following day, her husband’s boss called off the casual sex thing they had
Five days later, her husband agreed to take his wife and daughter back

A time came when he had to sit himself down and admit the truth, he had totally lost the plot
He had derailed from the course the Holy Spirit set his feet on when they met and had an intimate discussion in 2007
He was in a religious setup but he was drained and always felt like
running away or doing something so foolish people around him will see his cry for help and do something to help him!
He needed help badly and he knew it
The only problem was how to get the help
The only problem was how to reconnect to the source where he got his assignments
Several years before
He started fasting and praying but it was from a point of panic and self loathing, he didn’t hear anything
He went to meet several spiritual leaders for help
“What is the Holy Spirit saying?” He asked
One said “Buy good gifts for three prophets you know” he

They were at a vigil when the issue came to light
The pastor of the church heard the testimony of one of the men of the church earlier that week and decided to allow him to share with the brethren
The man took the microphone and explained how he had
survived for two years without a job!
As soon as he said "Without a job" the congregation gasped!
It was impossible to even contemplate that the man was out of job for a second
He always dressed corporately and drove a good car
Everybody saw him as one of the gainfully employed
members of the church
The man explained further that a week after he lost his job in a stock brokering firm, his wife found him crying and promised him she would ensure his shame was covered
The man said at the end of every month, his wife would hand over her ATM card to him and

Some years ago, I had to travel with my former boss to minister somewhere
We went with two other people
On our way back from the journey, one of them told my former boss he defied his pastor to travel with us
Apparently, his pastor had placed him under correction for an issue
The "punishment" was for him to be in church every Sunday for three months until the issues had been resolved
He damned the consequences and decided to call the pastor's bluff
He was an anointed minister of God and nobody had the right to place him under any form of punishment
My former boss was furious when he heard
He claimed the guy's move was foolish and all
I felt my boss was exaggerating
The ministration we went for was a success and the guy ministered very well
Five or six weeks later, a young lady came to see my boss at the office
She was a

On day two in Kwara, I was with @dafidimimo @eyitayofelix @ls_kpagih in the car when @bukola_adewuyi1 came to call me that something was going on in the Coaster bus the PSSBC ministers boarded.
We had all just left the crusade ground some minutes earlier where we saw many
miracles happen
By natural law, they should be tired
I was especially looking forward to some hours of rest before having an hour of teaching with them later in the night
I got alighted from the car and walked briskly to the coaster bus
When I got there, there was a deep stirring
I saw my brothers and sisters praying, screaming, crying, laughing, singing, jumping...In the bus!
I wanted to round it off and ask them to alight but i found myself drawn into the Ananah(cloud) and within a few seconds I started praying with them
We prayed on and on
When I felt

He had no say in who he got married to
He was born at a time when arrangements were made long before the bride and the groom were born
He was born at a time when couples stuck to it and cope
He was born at a time when it is unheard of that a couple got a divorce
His own mother
was a difficult woman
His father tried as much as possible to cope
When his mother's difficult nature got too much for his father
His father married a second wife
That was how men dealt with difficult wives in those days
Divorce was unheard of but polygamy was tacitly encouraged
His father was a nominal Christian
He was very fervent before he got married to the wife chosen for him by his parents
When his wife began to give him all sorts of troubles and sleepless nights
He stopped going to church
His wife didn't see it as a sign of things to come
She

In Genesis 15, right after God sealed his covenant with Abraham, God told him his descendants will spend 400 years in Egypt
God also promised that he would bring the descendants of Abraham out of Egypt with a mighty hand
Abraham didn't argue with God, he accepted God's verdict as
law
But he was smart
He told Isaac to keep far away from Egypt
As a young man, Abraham and Sarah had gone to Egypt in Genesis 12:8-13:2 to avoid the devastating effect of a famine
When they were about to get to Egypt, Abraham pleaded with Sarah to introduce herself as his sister
and not as his wife because of her beauty
(This was a half-truth but the intention was self-preservation and not faith)
When Pharaoh was told of Sarah's beauty, he immediately sent his servants to go and bring Sarah to his palace

(Collecting beauty is an obligation of royalty)
