"I'm so sorry it has to be this way. If I'm to be more honest with you, I never prayed about your proposal. I allowed my emotions too overwhelming and made decisions in haste. When I brought the proposal to mommy's desk, she told me everything God showed her.
I'm sorry for raising your hope so high. I'm sorry I put you through all this."
"It's alright I understand where you're coming from. I guess I will have to speak with mummy."
"No you don't have to. This is what God revealed to me also, not just her."
"Oh! God is saying I am bad?"
"Nobody ever said that. It's just that it's not what God wants. We have plans as humans, but God has his own plans. And whatever plan God has for us is the best. I would really advise you to subscribe to God's plan for your life.
It's a good thing to have plans for your life, but it is better to allow God's plans to come to pass. Don't allow your emotions to misguide you. Allow God's plan to have his way. I have tried to fight with God and everything in my life has been turned upside down. The only way to make peace with God, is to take the right decision."
"It's okay I have heard you! Bye! But I'm definitely going to have a discussion with mummy!"
"Please don't do that! Mummy is not on speaking terms with me. If you bring anything about me to her right now it will only make her more upset with me. Try and understand why I am giving this instruction."
"You mean you are instructing me?"
"I'm sorry to use the word instruction, let me rephrase it. Please, I'm begging you not to do that."
"You've left me with no choice. I can't make promises I won't to keep. I respect you as a spiritual mentor but what you have told me to do, I won't do. Bye!" He said and hung up.
"Can you imagine? What kind of disrespect is this?"
"Husband material! 6 yards!" My dad said grinning.
"I think you are saying this because you don't want me to marry him. So whenever he does something wrong you would want to major on it. He's just emotional right now, he'll get over it."
"Madam you need to come down. I am a man myself. I am not a woman like you that fall in love with your two eyes closed. It takes men a long time to fall in love. Most times, a man is yet to understand what he's feeling for a woman. Just because he doesn't want another man to take that woman from him, he goes ahead to propose.
When the man has finally discovered what he feels for a woman, sometimes they're already married. Soon the man discovers that he never loved her. His attitude towards her suddenly changes. This is part of the reason why many marriages turn sour after few years of marital bliss.
Men are actors but women are not. A man can say something and you cannot trace it on his face. When the man is saying something, check the woman's face and you will find the truth there. Imagine you're not a man outside the plan of God and all the love he has been showering you is just acting?"
"Daddy stop saying that! He's a child of God and he loves me."
"Madam there are many Children of God in the church. You better allow God to tell you the ones that are his. We have seen brothers who preach like Moses on the pulpit and masturbate in the secret. I'm not saying he's a fake Christian but that trust you have based on your own human mind, throw it away when choosing a husband.
You cannot gamble with your destiny. Marriage is once and forever. If you enter the wrong hands, you are done for. So what's God is telling you this is not your man, better nod your head like a good girl."
"Daddy I said I will ask. You were supposed to marry mummy Abayomi. Why didn't you marry her? What made you to leave such a beautiful woman and chose another. Even after God told you she's your wife, you refused. What kind of stubbornness is that?
Wait ooo! This my stubbornness is from you sef!" I said laughing.
"Julie angel! Let's not open old wounds."
"But daddy, I'm about to get married and I'm facing the same thing you faced. I know God's will for me and yet, I'm going for something different. Wait a second! Was mummy childish like Romeo? Was she very seductive in dressing or flirtatious?"
"Haaaaaaaa! What are you thinking you this small girl!" He said and spanked my head playfully.
"But daddy! I deserve to know! Mummy has a scar on her stomach and I'm yet to know what happened to her that resulted to it. I asked her and she gave me all the excuses in the world as to why I can't know it. That's how the story kept pending till I became a big girl.
Daddy what are the two of you hiding from me?"
Juliet, you will break me into pieces if you make me say it. That experience tortured me for years. Added to my pain was the fact that I missed it in marriage. I suffered depression as if I was not going to survive."
"At least, you survived. You should be able to share your story with the next generation. From that story you can advise those about to make marital decisions. How can you have such an experience and can't share it with me?"
"I understand! But believe me when I say I can't. It's too painful to speak of. Mummy was on the brighter side of it. She will be able to tell you without breaking down in tears."
"Daddy I don't understand you. Are you seeing you cry like a woman?"
Daddy rushed at me and bent me over, spanking me on the back. I laughed, fought out of his grip and ran off.
"You can be annoying sometimes!"
"Yes oooo! I inherited it from you! You annoy me alot!"
"I didn't transfer annoying character to you oooo!"
"Then I got it from the woman you picked up to be my mother."
"Haaaaaaaa! Juliet! Your mouth is sharp oooo. You better marry a husband that can tolerate your annoying personality, if not, na punching bag you go turn to."
" Daddy! Even you! You're saying the same thing as well. When am I going to hear someone tell me what I want to hear? When is someone going to tell me nice things?"
"Madam keep quiet! If you want to hear nonsense I'm not the one to feed you with the rubbish you want. If I cannot tell you and correct you now that you're a single, I'm a terrible father. I can't see a weakness and not help you spot it out so you can deal with it."
"Okay Mr good father, I have heard you!" I said and left for the kitchen.
"Haaaaaaaa! Are you angry with me already?" He asked as he followed me to the kitchen.
"Don't enter my kitchen!" I said and closed the door, but he caught it and tried to force his way in. I pushed from my end, but he was stronger than me and won the little contest of strength.
"Daddy leave ooooo! Don't disturb me! You said I'm an annoying person! I don't want to annoy you this evening!"
"I need alot of annoyance! Please annoy me very well."
"No! I want to be a gentle girl! I don't want to annoy anyone."
"Then me too, I want gentility this evening. Whatever you're serving as breakfast, I'll accept."
I was fighting the urge to laugh all this while. At this point, I couldn't hold it anymore. I burst into laughter and laughed so hard.
"Daddy! You're the best! No wonder why I fell for Segun and Romeo. They are the exact carbon copy of your personality."
"Please! I don't have carbon copy anywhere. My own carbon copy is the one standing here before me."
"I hear you sir!"
"Okay!"
My phone which was in the pocket of my jeans skirt, started ringing.
"Who's the caller?" Dad asked.
I prayed in my heart that it should be Romeo as I pulled it out of my pocket.
"It's mummy!" I announced, my heart pounding heavily.
"Hope your boyfriend has not done something that you shouldn't do?"
"I don't know but that is what I'm suspecting."
"Hello ma!"
"Hi Juliana!" She said coldly.
"Mummy!"
"Don't mummy me!"
"Haaaa! Ma! Is anything the matter?"
"What's the meaning of this insult?"
"Ma!"
"Are you not a mature lady? At least maturity should be able to teach you how to talk. You broke up with a guy and the guy was asking you why. Common sense would make you explain why you are breaking up with him. Why did you go and paint me as the enemy of progress between the two of you? You just offered me as the sacrificial lamb and give him the wrong impression about my personality. Is that what you were taught?"
"I'm sorry ma I didn't know what exactly to say to him!"
"Juliet! Your guy is good! He was pleading with me that he loves you and he has no evil intentions about your destiny and your ministry. He promise to love you and support you in your work for God.
But he lacks the capacity. He will break down and everything will turn upside down. As I'm talking to you I can see the level of his strength. He's a good man, but not every good man can handle you. There are potentials in you that only your husband can bring out.
Whenever God say something, stop wasting your time trying to perfect it. He was even crying to me on the phone. He loves you so much and it's painful for him to let go. He doesn't know that what you need is not just love. He doesn't know that you're a nation. A nation that needs an experienced and skillful president to rule. Love is good but the nation will not just be ruled by love.
I had to tell him to submit his will to God. And it was a successful conversation.
But my problem is you. Why did you do such a thing? Don't you know how to talk? If somebody ask you why you did a certain thing, can't you tell them you are old enough to make your decisions? You have to start looking for personalities to point your fingers at? That's childishness!"
I almost felt like fainting. I finished calling room you a child and now I was being called a child. I condemned Romeo's actions as childishness and right now my actions were condemned as childishness. God has seriously paid me in my own coins.
Romeo, why is God fighting for you like this?
To be Continued......
This is an important part of seperating lovers. As soon as they discover they are not meant for each other, they begin speak implicatively.
When friends and family members are able to detect prayerfully that this bonding is not of God. And when these people are finally able to convince the lady, to submit to God's will. Instead of the lady to use wisdom to carry out the separation. She announces to the guy that her family and friends are responsible for the break-up.
This is also the reason why many loving friends refused to speak out when they noticed their friend is in a wrong relationship. This is what has made many people to close their mouth and watch loved ones enter a wrong relationship. The fear of being pointed out, as the reason for a breakup has led to wrong marriages today.
Read the book of first Samuel chapter 16. When Samuel was about to anoint David as King, he never wanted to because if Saul found out, that would mean death. God told him to go with a ram and announce he was going to sacrifice at Bethlehem.
Wisdom is profiting to direct. It's not just enough to know what God wants you to do. You must also apply wisdom when carrying out his instructions.
I believe this message is for someone.
By the way, tell papa Juliet to stop behaving like a woman and tell us what happened to Mummy Abayomi.
