Please always listen to us.

Pls kindly read, a friend sent it to me

Good morning all and Happy Easter to everyone in the house. Please I implore you all to read the attached as sent to me and see for yourself if there is any lesson to learn from it....FOOD-FOR-THOUGHT. ....... from a friend

Today's post is a little different, PLEASE READ IT!

I received a long mail from an unknown elderly woman yesterday night and it was so touching. She requested I put it up here for everyone to read and learn from.

Kindly read it below.

Hello madam,

I wake up in pain everyday and wish everyday and I pray the next time I open my eyes,  I should find myself in the world beyond and not here on earth.

I came across your different posts yesterday and felt I could share my secret with you and may be if I did,  my story may help one or two parents who read your posts.

I got married at the age of 24years to my husband who was a medical practitioner just like I was.  We both focused on our careers and of course were both successful in all we did but not in parenting of our own flesh and blood.

We had two children, Kunle the first and Tola the second. Kunle was a very inquisitive boy and asked questions on everything. He even had a nick name "the examiner". His father and I got tired of his questions that we started locking up the door to our bedroom once we came back from work. How I wish I knew better, how I wish I read those posts of yours then.

By the time Kunle was four years old, he was much more intelligent than his colleagues and he was so lively,  you would never have a dull moment with him.  He loved his sister so much and we were always proud of him. His father and I were so sure Kunle was also going to become a medical doctor just like we were.

We loved our children so much and had plans to give then the best of everything although we were always busy and were not always at home because of the nature of our job.  This made us   hire a nanny and we also had one of my brothers in-law with us.

On day,  I came back from work very tired  and my son ran into my room with me and asked,
"why do you always close your door anytime you and daddy are in the room?"

"Do you like kissing my daddy?"

"why don't you kiss me too?"

I got so upset with him that I beat him severely and reported him to his teacher the next day.  We believed some of his friends were already exposed and may be watched bad movies at home.  By the end of that term, we withdrew Kunle and Tola from the school.

We did not allow him and his sister watch the television at home and also stopped them from visiting their friends and neighbours.  We did all this to preserve our children's sanity but hardly did we know what was happening right under our roof.

Some two years later,  I got home unusually early to pick up a document. I noticed the door was not shut and everywhere was quiet.  I sneaked in to give my children a playful surprise when I realised that their uncle and nanny were in the sitting alongside with my children watching pornography. I hate remembering that day.  Not only were they watching pornography, but they were all naked,  practicing what they were watching.

I drove out the nanny and my brother in-law but the seed was already planted. When I was crying,  my six year old son came to me and said, mummy why are you crying,  uncle and aunty are only teaching us how to be good mummy and daddy. I was shocked as I never even knew that this had been going on for over two years and my children had be indoctrinated into this messy life style at their tender ages.

 We never realized the impact  this had had on their lives until we caught both of them having sexual intercourse on uncountable occasions. Tola and Kunle did not only continue with this but became obsessed with each other.

Their father and I kept this as our "little secret" as we were well known in our carrier. We tried correcting them in love with tears streaming down our faces whenever we caught them in the act. They promised us they were going to change. We had had done two abortions for our daughter, since we could not face the stigma of incest.

On a fateful day, Tola walked up to her father and I and told us she was pregnant for Kunle again. Her father insisted on an abortion as usual but this time we lost our twenty year old daughter in the process. Kunle on learning Tola had died never spoke to neither his father nor I again. He eventually left home.

Three months after he left home,  we received a call from an hospital telling us our son was in a terrible state in their ICU. When we got there,  Kunle was lying unconscious.  He had poisoned himself.

 Finally, he got conscious and we were so happy, he looked at us as we sat by he bedside and told us how much he hated us for killing his sister. We pleaded with him and apologized.
We got to the hospital the next day to see his corpse,  he had suffocated himself by removing his oxygen mask.

I am now 74 years old and a widow, my husband could not forgive himself and died of depression three years ago. I regret my years of ignorance everyday. I wish I could start afresh.

I have never opened up my family "little secret" up till today. I don't know if my story can be of help to other parents, I am tired of carrying this burden without telling a soul.

I am happy I finally surmounted the courage to open up to someone today. Oh, my life is a great mess.

Kindly do me a favour of posting this on your Facebook page for parents to learn how expensive their actions today could be tomorrow.

Thank you.

Woman gives birth after severe hormonal imbalance

Emmanuela Agbujie Ovuomaye, who was termed barren, shares her testimony on Facebook.

I finally decide to share my testimony...
1. I was told I couldn't get pregnant due to severe hormonal imbalance... Suffice to say my last cycle was May/June 2015
This news was not new to me...had been told while I was way younger. It also wasn't news to my husband. Told him when I discovered things were moving fast and voala... He was ready to pray it out with me...in his words, "I want to marry you because I love you, however the children will definitely come". That settled, we went ahead with plans and preparations... We even decided that kids will start coming after 1year of just us together... Lol...got married March 2015
2. By the end of 2015, we decided it was time...i trust my mum...she was on top of it...infact from day 1 of marriage.
I started on treatment to induce menstruation, how many calendar calculations... Just to know when ovulation starts...blablabla. By 2nd week Feb 2016, I felt serious menstrual cramps...was thinking this is it but the period just refused to come...by the Sunday my G.O Pastor David Ogbueli of
Dominion City comes in with a word of prophecy concerning someone in her early stage of pregnancy, having abdominal pains. He declared healing...I claimed the healing part and fervently prayed that the pregnancy part will happen to me soon... Howbeit, that prophecy was for me as I was already pregnant but did not know. Alas, I was about to have a miscarriage...
3. By March different people suspected I was pregnant but I denied it...after all I am yet to see my cycle since 2015 not to talk of being pregnant. My dearest big sis Ndidi Obiorah called me aside to congratulate me but I kept saying amen. And she said go do a pregnancy test. Just to indulge her I did and the result was positive.
4. Antenatal resumption; on doing scan result was, foetus in decent...my OS was open..nothing can be done medically except to wait for the process to be complete or the baby somehow goes back to my womb. So I was told... I cried, got angry, called my mentor Pst
Olufibiyemi Olapade and our Island Awaiting mothers Pst Njide...after which I got into spiritual combat with this wicked but stupid devil about to steal my joy and testimony... Scan one week later; Feotus kicking up and down in the womb...OS closed
5. That sorted, next was incompetent cervix. I couldn't keep/carry pregnancy. In my 1st trimester and my cervix was already at 17.8mm short as opposed to 35-38mm and the bigger the baby gets the shorter it would become. There was no way my baby will survive the 2nd trimester without having to undergo cervical surgery they called saclage. If I do not miscarry, I would have a premature delivery.
Well, we refused. Infact, no more scan. Didn't want my faith to crumble. I chose to believe God's word over everything. By my 3rd trimester, cervix had increased from 17.8mm to 33mm...haha.
Amazing God.
6. The night of my EDD was when my contraction started. My real labour was 15mins...me a first timer.
Awesome God.
You can't tell me there is no God...
I'VE SEEN HIM DO IT.
The first day of your last menstruation is when you start counting your first day of pregnancy...so please with which day do we count from...May 2015???...lol
The look on the faces of all the different doctors and nurses that attended to me on different occasions whenever they ask when was your last menstrual cycle is priceless... They all get confused at that point... Hahahaha
PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP.
Hold on, help is on the way.
Lessons learned
1. Do not keep important 'secrets' from your would be spouse so they are prepared to battle it out with you... Can two work together except they agree. Issues of this magnitude needs your partners support and you'll conquer all.
2. Have a mentor (s). Spiritual mentors to put you through...they are available whenever the need arises.
Thank you my mentor...Pst Fibi
Thank you Pst Njideka Emechebe
And my very own mummy G.O Mummy Say, Pastor Sarah Ogbueli
You prescribed the supernatural antenatal drugs I took along side the medical ones...thank you so much ma...
I sure was covered.
3. Sometimes shut out external influences, some things would kill your faith if you don't shut them out
4. The things you say matter...right from time I have always said after 1year before I will start thinking of having a child + my first child must be a girl and well despite the medical report, I had my confession manifest, even when the scan showed that it was a boy....lol
5. A bible believing church adds up for you- It makes a whole lot of difference.
Pst Njide who is also a medical doctor taught that faith is...
Believing it
Confessing it
Acting it and then
Having it
I present to you my 3months old baby...
Sarah, Omo-oka (child of signs), Oseiwe (God doesn't sleep or slumber,
Ovuomaye.
Kindly feel free to share with anyone almost giving up.

YOU ARE FASTING!

I saw and liked this. It is worth sharing by Ogunbiyi Oladimeji:

Daughter: (Coughs out) Hmmm…It is well o
Mum: (looks up at her, then continues picking her beans) Any gist for momma?
Daughter:( Looks at her) Mum, I think I am not normal anymore…like, I am sick
Mum: (Chuckles) Ojo to’ju ba ri’bi ni bii’wole. Sickiii ke! Why?
Daughter: Because I am over sensitive. Whenever I see
a guy, I have this weird feeling compared to when I meet a girl. Mum, I get worried often times if I would scale through adolescence without defiling myself
Mum: (Laughs) you are afraid?
Daughter: It seems you don’t understand mum. When I see a guy’s bicep, oh my God! If he mistakenly exposes his abs, then I would almost faint, feeling as if I should run into his strong, muscular arms and be cuddled.
Mum: And so? That’s why you are not normal?
Daughter: (Eyes widens) Mum!
Mum: That shows that you are very normal my baby girl
Daughter: I don’t understand ma
Mum: You fasted recently shae?
Daughter: Yes mum. A three-day dry fast
Mum: There was on an occasion that I prepared plantain and fried egg for dinner for the family. How
did you feel that day?
Daughter: Mum, it was sensational! As if I had never tasted dodo before. I wanted a bite so bad.
Mum: So, why didn’t you get into the kitchen to get yourself some?
Daughter: Mum, I was fasting
Mum: Nice one! Son, can you hear us from there? Put off the TV please
Son: Ok mum.
Mum: As an adolescent boy or girl, don’t think it weird when you are attracted to an opposite sex. His or her stature or the likes might appeal to you. It shows that you are very normal. You wouldn’t say, you are
abnormal because you can perceive the aroma of dodo while you were fasting. Would you?
Both: No mum
Mum: All unmarried people in this world are on a sexual fast or at least, that’s how it was supposed to
be. Different dodo, juices, fried fish, chicken; Shawarma and the likes would appeal to them clothed in
handsome men and beautiful women of different carriage but block your perception! You are fasting!
Daughter: (nods repeatedly) Hmmm…I am getting it now
Mum: the aroma could be pornography, sexy boys and
girls, devilish games and all but be warned, you are what?
Both: Fasting!
Mum: So my daughter, you are as normal as anything. It means all the parts of your body are responding well but the Bible says you should keep your body under!
Daughter: Mum, for real, I can’t thank you enough. I expected you to shout at me and tie your scarves
round your waist, stamping your feet on the floor saying ‘Omo yi ti pa mi’ but no! You are trustworthy and I can count on you. And that is why mum is our…
(Signals to the boy)
Son: Confidant! (Both laugh)
Daughter: Bro, c’mon chop knuckle (They did)
Mum: (Smiles) Blessed children…very very blessed!
Both: most blessed mother
Mum: But never forget the lesson learnt today…
(expects an answer)
Both: We are fasting!
Mum: Yes. The fast would soon be over and your dish of dodo, freshly prepared with well garnished fried egg with a chill bottle of wine would be delivered to you but first, wait! Say, I will wait
Both: I will wait!
Mum: And the Lord will bless you.
Both: Amen (They hug their mother and she blesses them).
