The Amala Making Husband (Part 1)

I couldn't believe my eyes when I entered the kitchen and I found my husband and a stranger. My husband was sweating in front of a pot full of Amala and the piston in his hand. My swung my head back and looked again. For real? What's going on?

Before I could say anything, my husband spoke: "Babe, you're awake. How was work today?" I don't even know how to begin to answer that question. Work was beyond hectic. I was given a case to defend this lousy man who thinks he has the right to treat his neighbors anyhow. I really never wanted the case, but my boss thought I was the best to handle it. I know the man was wrong, but I am supposed to defend him. It was a big struggle.

My spirit clearly stood against it, but I have to choose between my job and my conscience. Losing the case may spell doom for my career. What do I do? I remember my husband telling me one night that we are supposed to live our life under the audience of one. God must be satisfied with everything we do. I chose to go with God. I deliberately kept quiet at some critical points in the hearing and the man lost the case. There was joy within me, but my boss frowned. He promised to deal with me the following day.

I got back home and just sank into the cushion to rest a bit. I never knew I would sleep off. Only for me to wake up and hear voices in my kitchen. I had slept for over an hour. Why is my husband making Amala in the presence of a stranger? Has he started boasting that he is best maker of Amala in Africa again? This is certainly embarrassing. What kind of wife would he think I am.

I managed to answer him. "Work went well; quite hectic though". "I knew it must be. We met you sleeping and I didn't want to disturb you. Meet my colleague, he followed me home to finalize some discussions". He was holding a glass of water. I greeted him and he responded stuttering "Gooooood eve evening, Mrs Olaniyi". "John, when did you start stammering? Don't tell me it's my wife's beauty that stung your tongues". We all laughed.

I can't wait for this scene to be over. I served the soup and we all ate. It was a quiet meal. The man didn't utter a single word and I was unusually quiet too. I know my husband must have noticed. He is a very observant man. Immediately Mr. John left, I asked my husband why he chose to embarrass me in front of a stranger. He looked bewildered. "I don't understand". "Why did you chose to make Amala in front of a stranger. What kind of wife do you want him to think I am? You are making Amala and I am sleeping. How does that sound?"

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?...

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 ...

Why Is Cindy Jacobs Important?

Few days ago, I was having a discussion with a prophetess about the depths of the dimensions of God in the life of Cindy Jacobs. I was telling her about some stories about her ministry and how her works has vibrated through several nations. Two days later, I got a notification that she would be coming to Nigeria! I was shocked. I reached out to the prophetess and she confirmed to me that it is not a coincidence that we were discussing about her few days ago and now, she is coming into our territory. Now, we know that fame is not necessarily the signature of God upon an individual or movement, but because the church is structured in a body pattern, we have several dimensions of God flowing through and we are called to carry and steward specific dimensions. It is important to know the dimensions of God you are called to carry and it is also important to know those who carry this same dimension so that you can learn about the possibilities of God through you. I am singling out Cindy ...
