"I got married at 25, finished my PhD at 27 and became a Professor at 40.

So fast you see! Yes, everything around me worked fast. It is now that I realise that it was a misplaced priority.

My ambition blindfolded me and I got it all wrong, that is why I am sharing my experience through this medium to warn and encourage our young mothers not to be careless as I was back then.

I worked very hard as a lecturer and as an administrator, always so busy that it became my language to my children...."I'm busy"

My mum was around to nurse the children for me for some time. The moment they clocked ten, I sent them to boarding schools, though my husband was not in support of this. I always found my way.

I had no warm relationship with my children, 2 boys and a girl.

I never knew it was a bad idea not to have time for my husband, children and the household, until 5 years ago, when guilt, loneliness and restlessness filled my heart.

I sent for my children to rejoice with me on my 60th birthday.

The two boys, living in Canada said they are "busy" and that their sister will come down from South Africa.

Two days to my birthday, my daughter sent this message to me, "Mum, I am very sorry not to be around over there, there is no time to squeeze out, my husband needs my attention at his newly established clinic and presently, I'm pregnant. "I'm very very busy,

I'm also lonely in a strange land. Please pray for us mum. Happy birthday". I could not recover from the meaning I got from the message.. "First-things-First". When they needed me for warmth and discussion, I was not available, now I needed them for warmth and discussion I could not get them, rather they returned my slogan back to me, "I'm busy"

To worsen the matter, my dear husband died in his sleep a month after. ...Only one of the children came ​without​ his family to the burial ceremony.

I was dumbfounded!!! Considered Opinion: it is good to work and be a hard working fellow.

But hear this important and salient truth:

Parenting is sacrificial work, give it all it takes. Avoid any work that will take away your attention too much from your home - Avoid it and be careful!

SOLIDIFY YOUR HOME FIRST, CREATE TIME FOR YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN.

ESTABLISH THE FEAR OF GOD IN THEIR HEARTS THROUGH YOUR ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR.

THOUGH IT IS COSTLY NOW, THE FUTURE REWARD IS WORTH IT.

THIS IS AN EYE OPENER FOR BOTH MEN & WOMEN.

LET'S BE SELFLESSLY AVAILABLE WHEN OUR CHILDREN NEED US.

If this inspires you, please share to others.

′′Minds that seek revenge destroy states, while those that seek reconciliation build nations."-Nelson Mandela.

"After I became president, I asked my escort to go to a restaurant for lunch. We sat down and each of us asked what we wanted.

On the front table, a man was waiting to be served. When he was served, I said to one of my soldiers: go and ask that gentleman to join us. The soldier went and conveyed my invitation to him. The man got up, took his plate, and sat down right next to me.

While he ate his hands trembled constantly and he did not lift his head from his food. When we finished, he said goodbye without looking at me, I shook his hand and he left.

The soldier told me:

Madiba that man must have been very ill, seeing as his hands didn't stop shaking while he ate.-

Absolutely no! The reason for his trembling is another.

Then I told him:

That man was the warden of the prison where I stayed. After he tortured me, I screamed and cried asking for some water and he came humiliated me, laughed at me, and instead of giving me water, he urinated in my head.

He is not sick, he was afraid that I, now president of South Africa, would send him to prison and do to him what he did to me. But I'm not like that, this conduct is not part of my character, nor of my ethics.

′′Minds that seek revenge destroy states, while those that seek reconciliation build nations. 

As I stepped out the door to start a new chapter in my life, I realized that in order to truly embrace my freedom, I needed to let go of all the anger, hatred, and resentment that had weighed me down. I knew that holding onto those negative emotions would only keep me imprisoned.."-Nelson Mandela.

"Word of Advice to Someone:"

"When you are agitated, don't make decisions, or you will be decapitated. Instead, calm yourself. Force yourself not to panic by adopting a command presence. You cannot influence what is outside of you if you do not first control what is inside you. As much as God loved Moses, He did not allow him enter the Promised Land because of an action Moses took in anger. To act in anger is to make a pact with danger."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

"Power of Positive Thoughts"

"He was very sick.

His friends took him to the hospital.

He was admitted and the doctor advised him to run series of tests including HIV to ascertain what the problem was.

Malaria and typhoid tests came back positive that same day.

While they were expecting the other test results, the doctor started treating malaria and typhoid.

As he was recovering very fast, the HIV test result came and it was also positive.

The doctor broke the news to him.

He was devastated and broken.

Within hours, all his body systems broke down.

He couldn't eat and he couldn't sleep.

Within one week, he emaciated seriously to the extent he couldn't walk by himself again.

Then something dramatic happened after two weeks.

The lab discovered that they made a mistake with the results.

They had swapped his sample with another person's own.

He is HIV - negative.

The doctor got the news and summon the courage to break the news to the patient.

 Doctor: Sir, we are sorry

 Patient: For what doctor?

 Doctor: There was a mistake with your blood sample submitted for the HIV test.

 Patient: What do you mean doctor?

 Doctor: They discovered you are HIV - negative.

 Patient: What! Are you serious, doctor?

 Doctor: Yes sir! We are very sorry.

The guy that couldn't walk for days, jumped out of the bed and started running around the ward in excitement.

Everyone in the hospital was shocked at the scene.

What happened?

What changed?

Where did the strength come from?

The power of the mind.

We live and die first in our minds.

We are poor first in our minds.

We are rich first in our minds.

We are failures first in our minds.

We are successful first in our minds.

You can't become in life what you have not become in your mind.

Train your mind and heart to be positive and progressive-minded."-Anonymous author.

"Your dignity is in your privacy."

"Over the years, I have discovered that the less people know about your private and family life, the better for you and your mental health 

Human beings are dangerous. What they know about you is what they will try to use to destroy you. They do not need to know most of what you are telling them, especially when they are not telling you anything about their lives.

Learn to keep your secrets secret👈🏿"-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"The Physical Death of Jesus Christ"

"In 1986, The American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross. 

In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, caused by high amounts of stress.

At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped. 

A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.

Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendon in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!

The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The gathering of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called Pericardial effusion & the lungs, Pleural effusion.

To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.

This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much, He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine. 

Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.

THANK YOU JESUS!!!"-Faithful Messenger's post on X-platform (2024).

"If you are reading this, I appeal to you: do not spend your time complaining or crying about your situation. Could you do something about it? 

By the 1st of August, a church I pioneered in London, United Kingdom, will be 20 years old. The next day, the 2nd of August, Del & Co. Solicitors, the law firm I founded, will be 20 years old. 

I am still trying to figure out where the years went. With humility, I know people whose lives have not changed in the last 20 years apart from getting older. 

I confess I am not better than them, but I would rather keep trying something new than cry about what is not working. Keep trying, friends. One day, your time will come. 

To God be the glory."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"Don't make life changing decisions when you are in a bad mood or vulnerable mindset. For example, marriage. Too many people make bad marital choices because they think age is catching up with them. You will rage if you marry due to age. Don't settle for anybody just to say you have somebody. Marriage is important. Vital even. But you should at least have minimum standards. You can exceed them, but never go below them. A bad marriage is worse than loneliness. Because you can easily cure loneliness by having companionship. But how do you cure a bad marriage?"-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

"I stayed in a relationship that was super painful and horrible for more than 2 years because “I had a dream”...

"Yes!

I dreamt that I married this brother and this would be the first time I would get any leading about marriage and so when he came to propose I accepted.

This relationship was so painful on so many levels.

Infact I went into the relationship not loving him but I felt I had a strong leading from God and the love would flow with time.

Now I am that girl that would want to obey God especially on marriage

Like if God says this is it, I’m going there. Doesn’t matter what.

And so in that dream someone said this is your husband and if you don’t marry him, you would be miserable all your life.

I’ve never experienced so much conflict with a person before

We would argue and argue about the most ridiculous things.

I would cry and cry. Apology would come but the circle would just repeat itself

We never had one week of peace.

I just felt that this was my cross in life to carry and I kept moving on

A time came when the only time I was happy in my life was when we were not talking

Why was I still there????? A dream 

Under the mercy of God and the wisdom from solid godly counseling, I left. And I could breathe . I felt like a weight was lifted from me.

Fast forward to some years later

I dreamt again that I married someone.

 I saw myself dancing and doing traditional wedding and all that

Guess what???

This brother I was marrying was already married with two children 

So when I woke up, I just laughed!

Because I knew that dream was never from

God as God is not the author of confusion. He could never lead me to marry someone’s husband 

But then it struck me.

What if the brother I dreamt about was single?

Wouldn’t I have thought this was God’s leading??

————————————————————————-

I’m sharing this because I’ve gotten some questions another dreaming about someone and if that’s God’s leading

While I won’t tell you no categorically, I won’t also tell you it’s a definite yes.

God leads his child in several ways but please, don’t use only a dream as leading

Dreams can come as a result of so many things 

But you can’t just run off based on that

Confirm it by other means

Confirm it with love

Confirm it with peace

Confirm it with the word of God

“The blessings of God makes rich and does not add sorrow to it”

Is your relationship giving you sorrow??

There are so many scriptures you can use to confirm what you’re doing.

You can’t be with an unbeliever and claim God is leading you.

Gods word will never contradict and it’s a more sure word of prophecy than any dream or vision or revelation 

Also, never stop praying even after you feel you are being led

Never stop praying 

I stopped praying but my mum never stopped

I sincerely believe that’s why God showed me mercy

I pray this helps someone and gives clarity!"-Deborah Ocheido's post on X-platform (2024).

"Dear Young Man"

"BEFORE YOU MARRY THAT LADY. 

Are you sure you can handle her?

* She is more mature than you. 

* She is more educated than you

* She is earning more than you. 

* She is very curvy and beautiful 

* She is more exposed than you

* You are not that matured 

* You lack exposure 

* She is the first girl you have ever dated. 

You may be getting married to trouble. You will have competition. 

Recently, I dealt with cases of young men who caught their wives cheating, and they could do nothing about it. The ladies were even bullying them after their escapade. 

While talking to some of the guys, they were crying. Oh, my heart. Some have developed mental health issues, which is not surprising. 

Marry at your level. Marry ladies who will be loyal to you. Do not marry a princess that you can’t handle. 

Parents, teach your boys to be loving but a little crazy, like my mother taught me. I can be crazy, but thank God for Jesus. 

There is nothing as humiliating for a man as knowing that someone has slept with his wife..."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"There is nothing on Earth that truly belongs to you. In fact, even you do not belong to Earth. You are a stranger here. A pilgrim. Your final home will be decided based on your conduct here. So, understand that. Whatever you think you created or own, whether idea, property, or money, was inherited from someone who inherited it from others, who themselves inherited all the way back to God, the Originator of all things. And even what you think is yours will be inherited by others when you die. That is why you should take life easy and not be too attached to material things. If you are too attached to the material world, you will not rise because it will weigh and tie you down, preventing you from being aware of the spiritual world. And whatever you do on Earth will be counted against you in your eternal spiritual abode."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).
