A couple came to the Abuja hangout yesterday, the lady spoke for the guy. She said he had applied for visa several times without any success, she said he is very intelligent and has a very great potential but his life has been stagnant
She said she met him at a library and they
had a very deep discussion
She said she was blown away by his depth and knowledge
The guy was quiet
He didn’t say a word, he was just looking at me
I also listened very silently as the lady stated that she wanted him to prosper and measure up in life
I turned to the guy, I smiled
I said “You’re sleeping with her, even though you know she is married with three children. One of the children is even yours and you are aware of this
You are also friends with her husband, not a close friend but he knows who you are and you are acquaintances
The guy sat there
the lady held her lips
I kept quiet
The lady said “I don’t love my husband, I was practically forced to marry him because of the pressure mounted on me by my family after I graduated from the university
My husband is not my soulmate, he is too lethargic and unwise in many ways
I am tired of the marriage and I am planning to leave. It is just that things have not worked out as I planned
My boyfriend knows everything, we have planned that once he travels, I will do the needful and the burden of guilt and deception on me can be lifted
By this time she was
in tears.
I told her not to cry
I understand
I feel her pain
I feel for her
It would have been such a burden indeed
Cheating on your unloved husband, bearing the child of another for him and trying to find a way of escape
I turned to the “boyfriend”
I said “You’re with her now
because she is making some money and helping you to survive here in Abuja
You don’t plan to marry her or elope with her as she is hoping
You are not even interested in your child that she was raising in the name of another man
You don’t really love her like that, she is just a
means to an end for you
The guy replied, “That is not true, I told her to abort that pregnancy
I am five years younger than she is and I don’t believe I have to have everything figured out yet
She is the one in a hurry, trying to build a plan of escape through me so that she can
leave her miserable marriage
I cannot tell if I love her or not, I am a freethinker and love is not really a big deal to me
She knows this but every time I try to tell her what I think about the whole thing, she will start crying and somehow make it seem like I am being an ingrat
I looked at the lady
I looked at the “boyfriend”
The lady was not shocked by the “boyfriend’s” outburst
She has heard it before
She turned to me
Sir, even if I cannot be with him or whatever the plan was, can you please pray for him
I really want him to be successful in life
He
deserves better than the deal he has gotten at the moment
I sat there, silently brooding for a few seconds
They looked at each other and decided it was time to leave
I saw the non-verbal communication
The guy stood up
The lady followed suit
They left
I didn’t say anything!
I was
silently happy that they decided to leave
This morning, at 6:45AM
We were having an online service
I saw a phone call
I didn’t pick
The phone rang several times
I left it
Then I got a message
It was the lady’s husband
He said they are at the hotel I was lodged in
They wanted to
see me
I went down to see them by 7:05AM
The lady’s face was all puffed up
She had been crying all night
She had told her husband the whole truth and still the tears will not stop flowing
Her husband was the one that suggested that they come and see me before I leave the hotel
They had their children and the house help in the car
The children had been prepared for school
I told them to go and drop the children in school and then come back so that we can talk
They came back after an hour
She was still crying, wailing as if somebody died!
Her husband
said “I have forgiven her and I told her I will not make an issue over the child but she still will not stop crying. I don’t know what to do sir”
I started laughing, I told him she was not crying out of remorse
Her heart had been broken!
The “boyfriend” had dumped her
When I said
that she sat down and began to wail even more
She said “He is an ingrate, after everything I did for him, he told me it was over when we left here
I tried to beg him, he threw the key to the car I bought him at him and blocked me
Brother Gbenga, I have invested so much in this
guy
I can’t believe he will be so selfish
Her husband wasn’t offended, not even a little
That made me suspect him a bit
So I said “Has she done this before? You don’t look surprised in anyway?”
He said “This is her third lover, I know she is restless. Her father is a reverend
When I told him everything she was doing the first time
He gave me two plots of land and said “If you keep this family together, I will make sure you lack nothing.
I considered my option and decided to honour that agreement
I have a house with my name on the title deed and I have
children from her
Her father sends me cash gift often for my inconvenience
So I don’t think it is a big deal sir”
She stopped crying at that point
She said “My father does what?”
The husband laughed and said “He is doing it for you. He said he doesn’t want any scandal”
She said
“Where is this house?
Her husband named the city
The wife said “No wonder you travel there often”
Her husband said “I go there to check on the tenants and the state of the property”
I laughed because I suddenly got it
I said “You have a wife there and children”
Her husband kept
quiet
The lady glared at him
He still didn’t say anything
I said “I have to go and prepare for my flight, is there anything else I can do for you?”
The lady said “Please help me beg my husband to forgive me, make him promise that he wouldn’t not do anything stupid”
I turned to
her and said “We’re you not listening to him? He wouldn’t!”
The husband said “I promise, I wouldn’t”
The lady kept quiet
Then she said “Can you pray for us?”
I said “Okay”
I prayed for them and they left
When I got to my room I started considering how the whole issue played out!
Wow!
The Holy Spirit is a revealer of the thoughts, motives, intents and secrets of the heart
Never in a million years would I have been able to see beyond the facade presented yesterday except by the Holy Spirit.

PS: This Holy Spirit is my father, my comforter and my helper.
Do you want to walk with him in this dimension?
Please send me a message on WhatsApp 08072744871 or send me a DM
Remember that I am not a consultant on spiritual issues, I only teach those who desire to learn and grow in their walk with Him!
Hallelujah

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

Those Who Will Win

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
