Her husband told the car dealers to bring three cars home and asked her to choose one of them for her birthday
She didn't pick any
She said "I want you to do something romantic for me for my birthday, not throw me a car like one throws a dog a bone"
Her husband apologized!
The
next day her husband closed very early from the office He picked her at home at about 6pm and they drove all the way to Marina
A yacht was waiting for them, there was great music, an Italian dinner, and wine
It was the most romantic night of their 10 years of marriage
After their
honeymoon it had been all work and no play for the two of them
In between the bustle and the hustle, they had also given birth to three children
Sometimes she would feel as if the love had gone stale or even dead
She needed that romantic night to awaken some dead feelings and be
reassured of his love
He enjoyed the night too
He wanted their ten years anniversary to be special
He was told before they got married that the first year of marriage was always the worst
He was also told that if they could survive five years together, they will survive anything
How they were able to do 10 years was still a wonder to him
Most of the hours they spend together were the dead hours when all they could do was sleep and sometimes hump in the dark
It had been a sack race and it had been extremely frustrating
She was glad he gave her that night
They made love in one of the executive rooms as they enjoyed the yacht's lazy movement over the sea
The experience ended by 5AM
The yacht returned to Marina, they disembarked and drove back home
It was a Sunday morning, her husband went straight to bed
The children were with her
parents
She was supposed to pick them up later that evening
That was the moment it suddenly dawned on her
Her car was bad
She had to use an Uber to drop the children off
The children saw the brand new cars her husband sent home when they got back from school just a day before her
birthday
They even argued over the model and colour of the car she should pick
The children would expect her to pick them up with her new car
She went to the room to rouse her husband from sleep
When he woke up she asked her about the cars
He started laughing hysterically...
It was annoying
It felt as if he was mocking her
She could feel in her bones answer to her question but she wanted him to say it
After laughing for a long time, her husband finally told her that he had used the money meant to purchase the car on their romantic night out
What?!!
He told her the boat cruise was 1 million Naira per night
She knew it would be worth that much
It was the best night of her life
They were entertained by a comedian, a live band, and a chef who was in charge of everything they ate
It was worth every penny but why should she be
the one to suffer for it?
She needed a car badly
Her husband does not have a car, he invested his money in a power bike which he rides for leisure
He had access to official vehicles and drivers for all his movements and didn't bother buying a car
She told him to give him the
rest of the money he planned to use to buy the car
She told him she would add the one million to it and buy herself a car
He told her he had spent the money on changing her wardrobe while they were away on the cruise
She went to her wardrobe and realized this to be true
She was
inconsolable
How did he expect her to keep managing the old car for another one or two years?
The car had been giving her issues for many months and he was aware of it
He husband didn't help matters
He kept laughing like a jackal
It was terrible and unnerving
So she left!
She picked her bag and stormed out of the house
When she got to her parent's house she picked her children without telling them what was going on
She took them to an old friend's house
Her husband called her several times
She refused to pick his call
Eventually, he called her
parents and everybody went into panic mode
She eventually picked her parents phone call at about 9pm on that Sunday
Her parents begged her to talk to her husband
They told her that her husband had treated to divorce her if she does not return home immediately
She told them she
will sort things out bit she didn't
She slept in the friend's house
Her husband called all night
By 6am, she took her children back home
Her husband had stopped calling
She waited until 1pm, she called him
He didn't pick
She felt he might be in a meeting
SHe called him again at
4pm
He didn't pick her call
He didn't return her call too
He didn't come home that night
It was the second time since they got married that either of them had slept outside their marital home due to a dispute
She felt he was just angry with her and decided to allow him to cool
off a bit
She called him the next morning, he didn't pick
She sent him messages
He didn't respond
She dressed up and went to his office
He was around
The receptionist informed her of her presence, he walked briskly downstairs and told her to give him a few days
She felt he was
trying to raise the money to buy her the car and would return home once the car had been bought
It was the only explanation that came to her
She went home
He didn't call or pick her calls
A week went by
She went back to his office, the receptionist told her he had resigned
The
receptionist said he resigned the day she came to see him a week before
She went to see the Managing Director of the outfit
The Managing Director said he was told her husband had taken a job with another firm in Abuja
He promised he would reach out to her husband and stylishly
hurried her out of his office
She called his older brother and mother immediately
She told them what had happened
They began to call him
Eventually he picked and said all sorts of thing
She said she was an ingrate, she was insatiable, she wanted to work him to death and plunge
him into debt
He said she was pushing him to live beyond his means
He said he had developed high blood pressure and all sorts of diseases because of her
He told them he will be sending money for the upkeep of his children but that he doesn't want to be married to her again
The joke became a problem
She cried and cried after spending the whole day with his mother
She explained that she was not all those things
She had been a good mother and a good wife
She had been a good partner to him
She explained what caused the disagreement but while explaining
it
She realized it sounded somehow even in her own ears
She refused the car, insisted on a romantic gesture which he did, and then she turned around and started demanding for the car
It was what happened but it wasn't really as bad as it sounded
Her husband could have made the
romantic gesture in a cheaper way
It was a terrible situation
She cried for many days
Her husband refused to share his address in Abuja
He sent her money for the upkeep of the home and paid all their bills religiously
She sent him many messages pleading that he should return home
to no avail
Six months after he left, she had a dream
In the dream, she saw herself sitting at home with her husband by her side
She saw a baby cot somewhere in her sitting room
She saw a baby in the cot
She saw herself asking her husband where they got the baby
That was when she
woke up
After thinking about the dream for a while without making head or tail of it, she called a friend
The friend was a member of @pssbcnigeria who had told her about the reality of the power of the Holy Spirit
The friend sent her the phone number of the Brother in Jeans and
T-shirt
They talked and prayed together
He told her her husband will return but with a baby
She began to cry
He told her to read a scripture out loud after praying in tongues and to make declarations about her full restoration
In July 2018, one year and seven months after her
husband left, he was transferred back to Lagos
He arrived with his younger sister in tow
His sister was carrying a baby girl
He told her he had the baby in Abuja but the mother of the baby was a drug addict who soon returned to her habit after she had delivered the child
He said
he was sorry
She took him in
She also took the baby in
She told him she had been told he would return with a baby and that she must accept both him and the baby with joy when the time comes
They settled their differences that week and the family was reunited
Glory be to God!
PS: There are some winds that comes out of nowhere to scatter families
These winds blow periodically from the pit of hell
I pray for you today, that your home will be fortified against such
If you have been affected by these ill winds, I pray that the Lord will heal your home

BREATHLESS
He leaves me breathless, the way he blows my mind
When he kisses me, my heart pumps,
I forget I’m a Christian sister
I just want more.
He’s all I want, I’ve found In him what my heart longs for
All the years that have gone by
Is he the compensation?
Is he the one God
told me about?
I really can’t hear anything yet;
So I have an idea!
If I have to let him go (when God eventually speaks);
Before I let him go, I should have him.
I should let him teach me,
I should let him spoil me,
I should let him touch me.
He makes me feel 15 years wiser,
Says
I make him feel 20 years younger.
If everything he says and is, is true,
Then his “ex” wife must have been a hell of a foolish woman!
Wait a moment, they aren’t even fully divorced yet,
He only tells me they’re in process
Honestly, I don’t care about the details
I don’t want to.

His last sermon was titled “Benefit of Death”.
...he kept on shouting that day
"For me to live is Christ, for me to die is gain"
and he asked.... Are you afraid of gain?
Why are you afraid of death???
“I will go when my work is finished;
therefore when I am gone nobody
should be double-minded concerning
the will of God for my death.
I am going to go by the will of God, not the
will of witches or wizards.
No man can kill me.
Many have tried to hurt me spiritually
and physically to no avail.
God has not given the key of the vault
in which he
has hidden me to any man
or devil.
He did not invest so much in me only
to hand me over to the devil to fulfill
his dark and unholy idiosyncrasies.
I am indestructible by the grace of God,
so are you if you know my Jesus.
You know, here in Edo land, I do not know
about you

He was told one night while he was sleeping that his time on this side of eternity will be very short
He saw it himself
He was standing by the side of a river
A river that was as clear as crystal
He knew the river was not of this world
He was dressed in a three-piece suit and he
holding in his left hand an excavation material
Something that looked like a funnel and a hose
It was puzzling because he kept starring around looking for the key or bucket he was supposed to be drawing water from but there was none
He stood by the river for a long time as if he
was lost in thought
Then he took off his suit and waistcoat
He laid the two by the riverbank
He took off his necktie too
He didn't hear or think any words
It was like watching a silent movie
As he was about to take off his shirt
He saw an elderly man
The man walked down a narrow

We were at the Church's Day out when the symptoms hit me for the first time
The church organized a games, fun, and mingling event at CMD complex
I was there in official capacity with my boss (I was his PA)
It was supposed to be a very good day
One of those days you look forward
to
I had promised my wife and children that I would come home to pick them once we settle down at the event
As the PA to the pastor of the church, I have a duty to be at the venue and be part of the "setting up activities
We have food vendors, canopy, chairs, and tables suppliers
children entertainment people, mobile toilet suppliers, and so on to instruct and work with in order to make the event a success
I left home very early for the venue
People started arriving at about 10am that morning
By 11am, the event was in full swing
It was a glorious event

Archbishop Benson Idahosa said he once went to America to minister. While he was lodged in the hotel, a group of 16 pastors from an African Country came to visit him
They told him they were in America on a fundraising mission
They wanted to build a cathedral and felt their help
would come from abroad
He said he listened to them as they pleaded with him not onl;y to support their project but to put in a good word for them with the white folks who invited him to minister in the USA
He said he did the best he could to help them and wished them well
After a
week he returned to Nigeria to continue his work
He forgot all about the 16 preachers who were soliciting for funds
He said at the time his calendar was booked up for over two years
He had to travel to several nations preaching the gospel
The more he ministered in power, the

In 2009, a classmate of mine who graduated with me the previous year from Bowen University came to my house
He had this idea about me writing a book for him
His father owned a printing press and he could get the book published for cheap
We discussed terms and he paid me the
initial deposit
I wrote the book and gave him the manuscript in three weeks
He took it straight to his father
His father read it and told him to go and get the writer
His father had a distinction in literature and had written many books for many pastors
HIs printing press was
somewhere around Yaba
I met with this young man's father
He told me he liked my writing and would like to offer me a contract
There was a project that had been on his table for about two years
The project was viable but he didn't have a writer that was good enough to execute the
