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 ...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...
