  • Tales of a Nursing Dad – 7

    Tales of a Nursing Dad – 7

    Topic 7 – Calm down (part 2).

    In 2023, I ran a series on my blog and my Facebook page titled Tales of A Nursing Dad to chronicle the pregnancy and parenting journey of our dear son. Read here

    In episode 6, I mentioned that my wife didn’t give me the approval to share a story then until our fifth anniversary which is today. Your congratulations are for us in the comment section.

    Now here is the story to the glory of God; Six and half months into the journey of first pregnancy, my wife returned from work to discover that she is bleeding.

    Without wasting time, we went to the hospital immediately, and the doctor diagnoses cervical insufficiency. At 6 months, the cervix is as if she was ready to deliver.

    He proffered two solutions – incubating the baby outside the mother’s womb or a surgical procedure to close the cervix but the problem with solution 1 is that there is no facility to incubate a 6-month-old baby in Nigeria and the second procedure is dangerous at that period. It could introduce infection to the mum. The next reasonable option is baby evacuation šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

    During the unpalatable ordeal, the doctor told me to immediately report to the hospital after detecting another pregnancy. All glory be to God, about 4 months after, He answered our prayers and we followed the doctor’ instruction AQAP.

    At the hospital, corrective surgery was scheduled. Thank God for the successful surgery and the bouncing baby thereof but what happened before and after the process, I cried inwardly.

    What make me cry before was the instruments they will employ. Did they want to butcher my wife ni? After the whole process, my dear wife was practically hallucinating as a result of the preoperative drug given. Not only was I down internally but I was visibly afraid. Not until my mother-in-law said it was normal did I calmed myself down.

    What I am aiming at? Bro, calm down, until you get married, you virtually have no idea what it is all about.

    All this useless argument about caesarian section and vaginal birth will calories because if you see the equipment for doing the former, you will fear but if it the necessary step to holding your baby, you will not argue because your prayer will be a success and both methods produce healthy baby.

    I repeat dear single, calm down, marriage will stress beyond your normal strength. You will come to a point where you will have to make a life-and-death decision in a split-second. The beautiful institute will test your faithfulness, plan, love, and loyalty but it will pay you the best dividend at the end of the day.

    As you are calming down, may God blesses you and strengthen you. May He be without at the every stage of your marriage in Jesus’ name. Amen

  • What are Godā€™s Expectations as In-Laws

    What are Godā€™s Expectations as In-Laws

    In-laws relationships are a vital but often delicate part of marriage, yet in Godā€™s design, they are not meant to be sources of conflict or division. Instead, they are meant to function within the broader framework of family unity, respect, and peace. God expects in-laws to understand that when two people are joined in marriage, a new primary family unit is formed, and every other relationship must align in a way that protects that union rather than competing with it.

    One key expectation from God is respect for boundaries. In-laws are called to honour the marriage covenant by not interfering in ways that weaken the bond between husband and wife. This does not mean isolation or rejection, but it does mean wisdom in involvement. Advice should be given with humility, not control; support should be offered without manipulation. When boundaries are respected, peace is preserved and unnecessary tension is avoided within the extended family system.

    God also expects in-laws to operate in love and acceptance rather than suspicion or rivalry. Too often, conflicts arise from assumptions, comparisons, or unresolved expectations. However, Christian doctrine encourages families to embrace one another with grace, recognising that marriage is not a competition between families but a joining of two lineages under one covenant. When love governs interactions, misunderstandings reduce, and relationships become healthier and more stable.



    Another divine expectation is peacemaking. In-laws have the capacity to either escalate conflict or promote reconciliation. God desires that they become instruments of peace, especially in moments of misunderstanding between couples. Instead of fueling division, in-laws are expected to encourage forgiveness, maturity, and restoration. This requires emotional discipline and spiritual sensitivity, ensuring that words and actions build rather than destroy.

    Furthermore, God expects in-laws to provide wise and constructive support when needed. Support can come in many forms; emotional encouragement, godly counsel, or practical assistance but it must always be offered with the goal of strengthening the marriage, not controlling it. When in-laws function as supporters rather than supervisors, they contribute positively to the stability of the home.

    Ultimately, the relationship between in-laws should reflect the broader Christian principle of love, honour, and humility. Every family connection should be shaped by the understanding that peace is more valuable than pride, and unity is more important than personal preference. When this mindset is embraced, in-laws become a blessing rather than a burden, and families grow stronger together under Godā€™s order.

    As an in-law, examine your role and influence in the marriages connected to your family. Choose restraint where interference may cause harm, and choose encouragement where criticism could destroy peace. Commit to being a source of wisdom, love, and stability. Build relationships that honour Godā€™s design for marriage, and become someone whose presence strengthens families rather than strains them.

  • What God Expects from You as Parents

    What God Expects from You as Parents

    Whether you are new parents, expecting parents, empty nesters, or someone looking forward to being a parent one day, this is for you.

    Parenting is a task God have given us if He has provided children and thanks to His benevolence, He hasn’t left us without what He is expecting us to achieve with the kids he has given us.

    Dear Parents, God wants you to train your children in the ways of the Lord. He literally wants you to indoctrinate them into His ways [ sorry, I don’t know a lesser word to use]. That is why He told you to tell your kids about His laws when you are on your way to farm [workplaces], sitting down, playing, etc.

    He wants you to talk about Him every time you have a conversation with the kids because He knows if you don’t, ungodly TV models and policymakers will do

    God wants to be a direct models of His law. He wants you as the father and mother to be an example of godliness, orderliness and goodness.

    He doesn’t want you merely to talk about godly virtues, God expects you to be a living examples of them.

    Also, God wants to warn you not to provoke your children to anger. They are human beings with diverse emotions.

    Click Here to know what God expect from you as a husband towards your wife

    Don’t provoke them rather guide them gently to the way of the Lord.

    As much as God does not want you to provoke them to anger, He wants you to correct them when they err [which they will do]. He wants you to correct them in love. He wants us to correct them with boldness and clarity

    In addition, God is expecting you to discover the gifts, talents and calls of God on their lives

    God is expecting you to be a model of Christian marriage.

    The first married person they knew is you guys, and Almighty God is hoping that you will be a perfect example of what a Christian husband and wife in a Christian home should be.

    God also want you to provide for all their needs. Their physical, spiritual, mental and psychological needs.

    Lastly, God want you to pray for your kids.

    God bless you

  • Setting Healthy Boundaries

    Setting Healthy Boundaries

    Write your guide to setting healthy boundaries in relationships.

    We are human, aren’t we? And because we are human being, we tend to over do things or step out of lines even with our loved ones.

    But it’s doesn’t have to be like that, we got to be a rail in place to safeguard our beautiful memories, apply break in a spillery ways and draw a line that every member of the relationship must not cross.

    What is boundary in a relationship? A Boundary in a relationship is the line drawn by parties in a relationship which should not be crossed by the other partner.

    It is a clearly defined limit agreed upon by both partners that sets what is acceptable and what is not in their interaction. It helps protect mutual respect, trust, and emotional well-being by ensuring each personā€™s needs, values, and personal space are honoured.

    Even the Bible said, ‘Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.’ (Proverbs 4:23 (NIV).

    As Christians, we are not just setting boundaries, we are setting HEALTHY BOUNDARIES therefore the set boundaries must be biblical.

    For example, you can set the boundary of no sex in marriage. That boundary is for singleness

    Benefits of Setting Healthy Boundaries

    1. Setting Healthy Boundaries protects the relationship from junkies, assumptions, suspicion, backbiting and other relationship-destroying vices since your partner is already aware what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.
    2. Resources are saved. The time, money, and resources that will be used to argue back and forth over what is accepted or not will be channelled into  more profitable discussions.
    3. Setting Healthy Boundaries promotes mutual respect and admiration for our partner because nobody wants to intentionally hurt the loves of their lives. Remember, the Bible says, ‘in humility value others above yourselves.’
    4. It builds trust and security
      because partners feel safer and more secure in the relationship.
    5. It encourages Self-Control and Purity. It helps singles to avoid situations that may lead to temptation or sin.
    6. It improves Communication. Discussing and respecting boundaries fosters honesty, understanding, and healthy conflict resolution.
    7. Prevents Manipulation and Abuse. Healthy boundaries establish limits that protect both partners from controlling, disrespectful, or harmful behaviour.
      Healthy Boundaries strengthen individual identity in order for the person to maintain their God-given purpose, convictions, and individuality while growing together.

    HOW TO SET HEALTHY BOUNDARIES IN A RELATIONSHIP.

    1. Communicate: Talk about your dos and donts, your likes and dislikes, how far is too far for you, what is acceptable or not around you, how you want to be treated, etc. If you don’t talk, your partner may cross the red line unintentionally. I believe you won’t want to make them uncomfortable.
    2. Make the lines clear as crystal. That is, set easily recognisable boundaries. No foggy ones. No dilly dally. No in-between. Set limits that everyone is clear about. For example, you can set a boundary of no sex till marriage (as it should be for all single Christians) and still play around french kissing.
    3. Be firm about it. Enforce it. Be known for it. Don’t give an excuse for you to be disrespected. Once you are triggered, take action.
    4. Set healthy Boundaries. A Boundary that does not infringe on the rights, and boundaries of others. As it is healthy for you, make it healthy for your partner. Your boundary should never degrade the personhood of your partner
    5. Learn to say, mean, and stand for NO. Say No. Stand by your decision. Mean it. Shoulder the result of your decision and be ready for a no from others too
    6. Be graceful. Be merciful. Here and there, your partner is going to step out of line with you. Forgive them but
    7. If he won’t listen, cut him off. You are not a home training centre for a disrespectful kid. You deserve to be treated as a human being.

  • What are Godā€™s Expectations as a Grandparent

    What are Godā€™s Expectations as a Grandparent

    Dear, Empty Nesters,

    God has a work for you

    Grandparenting is a sacred season in life, often marked by reflection, wisdom, and a deeper awareness of generational responsibility. In Godā€™s design, grandparents are not merely retired parents; they are spiritual anchors within the family system. God expects grandparents to function as custodians of faith, memory, and moral direction, ensuring that the values of righteousness are not lost between generations. Their presence is meant to stabilise the family tree, offering guidance that is seasoned, calm, and rooted in experience.

    One of Godā€™s primary expectations from grandparents is spiritual mentorship. At this stage of life, there is a unique opportunity to reinforce faith within the family by living consistently as examples of devotion, prayer, and reverence for God. Rather than withdrawing into passivity, grandparents are called to remain spiritually activeā€”teaching younger generations through both words and lifestyle. Their influence often carries a weight that parents alone may not be able to provide, especially in moments where wisdom is needed more than instruction.

    God also expects grandparents to be intentional transmitters of values. This includes moral instruction, family identity, and cultural or spiritual heritage that aligns with godly principles. In many ways, they serve as the memory of the family, reminding younger members of where they come from and what they stand for. When properly embraced, this role helps prevent moral drift and strengthens continuity in righteousness across generations. Their counsel, when given with humility and love, becomes a guiding light for children and grandchildren navigating a complex world.

    Another divine expectation is emotional and relational support within the family structure. Grandparents are often positioned to provide balance where tension exists, offering reconciliation, patience, and encouragement. Their maturity enables them to respond with understanding rather than reaction, making them instruments of peace in family dynamics. God values this peacemaking role because it reflects His nature within the home, where love is preserved and unity is protected.

    Furthermore, grandparents are called to be intercessors for their lineage. Prayer is not a secondary responsibility but a powerful assignment at this stage of life. Standing in the gap for children, grandchildren, and even future generations aligns the family with divine protection and direction. Many breakthroughs in families are sustained through the quiet but consistent prayers of grandparents who refuse to give up on their bloodline.

    If you are a grandparent, embrace your season with intentionality and spiritual awareness. Do not see yourself as inactive or irrelevant, but as strategically positioned by God to shape the future of your family. Invest in prayer, speak wisdom, correct in love, and preserve godly values. Commit to being a living bridge between generations, ensuring that faith, love, and righteousness are not only taught but deeply rooted in your family line.

  • Arsenalā€™s Long-Awaited EPL Triumph: 30 Thoughtful Congratulatory Gift Ideas for a Football Fan Husband

    When a football club finally breaks a decades-long wait for a league title, it doesnā€™t just stay on the pitch, it enters homes, conversations, and relationships. For Arsenal supporters, a Premier League title after 22 years would be more than a sporting achievement; it would be an emotional release, a moment of vindication, and for many families, a season of celebration that spills into everyday life.

Thoughtful gifts, even simple ones, acknowledge that journey and create moments of connection within relationships.

    Importantly, these ideas are not about financial value but intentionality. A handwritten note or a small symbolic item can carry more meaning than expensive merchandise, especially when it reflects an understanding of your partnerā€™s passion.

    In moments like this, football becomes a bridge between celebration and relationship bonding. Whether you are a fan yourself or simply supporting your partnerā€™s joy, small gestures can turn a sporting victory into a memory shared at home.
