The Amala Making Husband (Final Part)


I know my husband is very good with words. He certainly know how to calm my nerves, but I am really interested in what he has to say to defend himself tonight. I was on my feet. He looked into my eyes for some seconds and walked up to me. He pulled me to a chair and made me sit. Somehow, Lanre knows how to get me. I am not often moved by words, but ever since I met him, his words have a way of melting me and turn me into a baby in his arms. So, I have learned to keep quiet whenever he wants to pet me. I love hearing it.

"When we came in, we saw you sleeping in a sitting position. You still had your work clothes on; your bag was beside you. I knew you must have had an hectic day. I had to even put a pillow on your neck so that you won't have pains when you wake up. I took John to the kitchen because I needed to make food ready for us. Whatever John thinks is not our concern." I frowned at that. "Really?" "I will take care of my wife irrespective of whoever is looking." That entered me and I took a deep breath. "You're not a lazy woman and I am not ashamed of cooking for you anytime, anywhere". Hmmmm. I had no choice than to let go of my fury.

I got back from work the following day all smiles. The judge that presided over the previous day's case noticed that I intentionally kept quiet. He didn't see it as incompetence or cowardice, he saw it as integrity and he wants me to work with him. Surely, righteousness exalts.

My husband came in too with a similar mood. I wondered what his own news would be. "Babe, you won't believe what John told me this morning". Chills ran through my spine. I knew he would have comments. "What did he say?" I was almost impatient.

"He came to my office as early as 8:05am and he began to cry. I was really surprised at it. He could only gather himself after almost 5 minutes. He said when we got to my house yesterday and met you sleeping, he expected me to wake you up roughly and ask you to prepare food, but instead I put a pillow on your neck so that you can sleep well. To his surprise, I asked him to come to the kitchen and I started preparing food. He felt that I wanted you to wake up so that I can blast you with hot words, but he was shocked when you woke up, entered the kitchen and all I did was greet you. He couldn't take the shock and that was why he was stammering."

"He confessed that he often beats his wife whenever she didn't prepare food on time and he thought all guys do it. But I showed him a different pattern yesterday and he was so convicted that he wept on his way home. He said this morning, he woke up early to cook for his wife and apologized for all he had done in the past. Babe, we saved a family!"

I was so excited and shocked at the same time. You mean that what I thought was an embarrassment to me is actually what saved another family from falling away! This God is full of wonders.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
