OUR beloved First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan just flew into Nigeria hale and hearty, to the Glory of God, and shame to the devil! Nigeria has had her own fair share of bad reports, and the ill health of our First Lady or that of any member of the President’s family is one that we rejected as the furore tore through the press and social media over this and that concerning her health.
As a good person first, a good wife, a good mother, and the First lady, she captured the important things that make a good marriage and family, when she said upon her arrival in Nigeria that her husband loves her and she is pleased with how God has created her. Shame to those who must make this money by lying against their rulers or leaders!
We love our President, his wife and family, no matter what. Nigerians voted for him not because of his party, or anything, but because he carried himself well, during the provocations that followed after the unfortunate demise of our Beloved late President Umaru Yar’ Adua. He stood by Yar Adua, and was trusted by Nigerians to be capable to flow with their seven point agenda at that time.
He was aware that people loved Yar Adua, and respected that and his wife stood by him all the way. Many of them today who think that they could win the votes of Nigerians lost that respect from Nigerians long long time ago.
I am of the opinion that GEJ was the best of all that were contending for the Aso Villa seat, at that time. If he does well, he will be returned to Aso Rock come 2015.I pray he does well, because he represents a new generation in the leadership of this nation.
Let’s face it,If he gives us round the clock power supply, good security (by silencing Borko haram, and kidnapping, reducing robbery and militancy), puts food on our tables through revitalising and re-energising the industrial and production sectors to resume job availability and employments surge), he will go back for sure, no matter what others may say, Nigerians know what they want, and will insist on them at every poll.
The Edo polls has opened their eyes, Ondo elections will re-enforce their convictions, and come 2015, it shall be an election of issues, and character, not just Political Party.
Our truly beloved President GEJ, did not need therefore to hide the state of the health of his beloved, good wife and help meet.The case of his former boss should have guided him, but all that is over now to God’s Glory!!
Welcome Ma, and we need you as the leader of Nigerian mothers and women, to continue the good works with our women, teaching them that the support of their husbands is the way,not to start competing with him, or regret him because things did not add up at some stage or the other.
Some of them are women libertarians who hide under the cloak of marriage, to torment and destroy their husbands, believing that the only way to be a successful woman is by putting down their husbands and other male counterparts.
The collateral damages on the psyche of their children are enormous. No wonder many children of successful and well behaved men, turn out as social misfits, to the embarrassment of their parents.
Yes these misguided women achieve material success; political appointments, big businesses, etc, etc, but when you look beyond the ordinary showbiz of life, you see a huge emptiness ! Every good woman needs a good husband.
The Bible declares that a good woman is the crown of her husband. When a man covets another man’s wife, he targets the crown of that man. When a man’s crown of glory is polluted, things start to fall apart for that man.
Women who understand this remain amazons trailing the blaze of success, peace, joy and serenity of good marriage and material wealth in good health! Amazons are pace setters in all God gives them to do and as wives, they excel.
The families of such Amazons can easily claim the blessings in the Book of Isaiah chapter 65, from verses 20, 22 to 23, which is a guarantee of longevity in good health and wealth. On the other hand, these blessings cannot come to the unrepentant sinners, adulterers, fornicators, covetous persons and their ladies, lairs, thieves, and cheats of all sorts, people whose heart devise evil constantly.
When wealth strays into their house, it soon develops wings and goes, because of their wickedness. No wise man will therefore be envious of the wicked who is wallowing in wealth ! Wise women know this and build their families by encouraging their husband in all circumstances.
Now, A woman, according to the Bible, was made out of the rib of a man, for the man. When a man lives with another man’s rib, it hurts badly. The hurt will be spiritual, financial, and often physical, and if that man is not careful he dies for it in the end, because, it was him who found the woman and took him as a wife. King Ahab of Israel died before Jezebel because he allowed himself!
A woman who tells her children, that their father is a fool, wicked, never do well, poor and smelly, does not care for them, is not that man’s rib. My advice to men in such a situation is to seek the help of a good and prophetic Pastor or Priest.
Be blunt and let him intercede for your life .If you don’t do something for your life, they will kill you and then get born again! You will miss heaven, because you will die in un-forgiveness, and even hatred, while they that killed you in more than one way will repent, and make heaven! Heaven is real, and that is my goal, and I pray that we have leaders in this country, who are targeting to make heaven.
It is the responsibility of a man to find the good wife, his own rib, and take it to God for approval, and when that is done, then that favour that follows the woman to her husband’s house avails him without restrictions, and the couple remain better of for it at all times, even in the face of their toughest challenges.
Every woman carries a special favour to take to her husband’s house.
The God fearing couple together, will always overcome all situations through prayer in agreement, because one shall chase a thousand while two,that is husband and wife, who are in agreement shall chase ten thousand, and when they have kids, whom they have brought up to learn the power of prayer, that the family shall chase hundreds of tens of thousands! People may doubt the efficacy of the Word of God, in the Bible , but that is to their own peril.
For those who know, nothing can be as sweet, as to see a husband and wife living in harmony and love despite the arrows from the perishing world and their master, the devil.
Faith in your husband is extremely important, and faith in each other is equally important. That is why we rejoice and give God Glory for the return of our First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, to let God be God, and let those who hate Him live and see the righteous prosper.
