Editor’s Pick: The Gift Of Forgiveness
The Lord gave me a gift, And He said that in order to keep it, I must give it away… As often as I am offended; As often as I am hurt, I must give it away… For in that moment, They need it so much more… They […]
Editor’s Pick: Is Adultery An Unforgivable Sin?
To begin to answer this question, we need to know what adultery is. Contrary to popular belief, adultery is a consequence of divorce, and not a cause of divorce. Often, marital unfaithfulness is equated with adultery, when in fact it is simply sexual immorality within marriage, which may […]
Editor’s Pick: As Gracious as God
I remember when I was still single. I was quite bitter back then, and very angry! Mostly because of the inequality I saw between the sexes in matters of the heart, and largely due to the atrocities I’d heard and seen men get away with. I was hardened […]
Editor’s Pick: The Over-Rated Experience
Closure, apart from being an absolute waste of time and an indulgence of the ego, is in fact a fool’s pity party. All it really serves is giving you an opportunity to indulge in something you have already tried and tested that isn’t good for you. Sure, you’re […]
Editor’s Pick: If I avoid him, does that mean I haven’t forgiven him?
Dear Ufuomaee, Good morning ma, hope you’re good. Please I would like to ask you a question. I met a guy during my service year who I was just plainly friends with. Along the line, I discovered I had developed feelings for him. Somewhere along sha, I told […]
Editor’s Pick: Understanding Emotional Affairs
I recently concluded a two-volume fictional series called An Emotional Affair, to illustrate how easy it is for such a stronghold to take captive a marriage. It was also to illustrate that God is able and willing to deliver us all, and that we must be as gracious […]
An Emotional Affair – Part Twenty-Four
Back in Lagos, Bolu, Lola and Folarin were oblivious to the new turn of events in Danny’s life. Danny, though having much wealth and influence within his industry, had been very discrete and, so, was not well-known, nor a celebrity by any means. Nothing would be leaked about […]
An Emotional Affair – Part Twenty-Three
Danny left the Church building still reeling from Bolu’s hug. He could still feel his big strong arms around him, squeezing him. Danny hadn’t been hugged like that before. It was…comforting. Strangely so. And what Bolu had said about God loving him was just…too much. He couldn’t take […]
An Emotional Affair – Part Twenty-Two
Bolu was in his office, thinking about Ifeoma, his Secretary. Something was the matter with her. She had been behaving very oddly since they resumed work this week. She was not her usual professional and efficient self. She had somehow disorganised his filing cabinet, in the name of […]
An Emotional Affair – Part Twenty
Lola and Bolu attended the twin’s first birthday party at Temi Ayeni’s home on Saturday. Temi had married well, and lived in a big house in Ikoyi with her husband, Oyindamola Ayeni. Mr Ayeni was the CEO of a shipping company. Their glamorous wedding had made the front […]
An Emotional Affair – Part Nineteen
Lola woke up in Bolu’s arms, stirred awake by a ray of golden sunlight on her face. It was a beautiful Wednesday morning, and the lovebirds had slept in late. She lifted her head up to see that Bolu was already awake and had been watching her sleep. […]
An Emotional Affair – Part Eighteen
Bolu fell back on the bed with relief, after concluding his call with Mr Williams. Thank God! Thank You, Jesus! He couldn’t believe his good fortune. Despite the efforts of the enemy, in the person of Daniel Akunne, he still had his job and his wife. He had […]
An Emotional Affair – Part Fourteen
Lola took a cab home from the airport. As much as she knew she had to give thanks to God for opening her eyes to see the truth about Danny, she did not want to do so. Rather she was angry with Him for bursting her bubble and interrupting […]
Conflicted!
In this world where the wise thing to do in an abusive relationship is to walk away, to protect and look after yourself and your sanity, I feel conflicted about the Wisdom of the Cross that caused Jesus to endure unfair punishment, torture, insults and mocking, to redeem […]
Editor’s Pick: My husband has a love-child, and I think they’re still involved. What’s your advice?
“Dear Ufuomaee, I need your advice on this issue ma. Last year my husband made a mistake and got a lady pregnant, he begged me and promise to quit the relationship as soon as the lady born the baby, which I agree. But the lady has born the baby […]
