EPISODE 5

PAUL'S MOM POV

''Prophetess, this boy is my only son and I do not want him to marry that girl, she is older than him.''

''But their destiny is tied up together''

''I don't care, I do not want them together, so do whatever it takes to split them.'' 

''I  am not a native doctor madam, I am a prophetess of God, you came for my advice and that's what I am giving you.

''Martha, you brought me to a fake prophetess right?'' What is she saying?'' Whatever she is saying isn't making any sense to me. 

''Calm down na...She is a genuine prophetess, she always sees accurately, so listen to her.'' Martha tries to appease me.

''No! There is no way that she is seeing clearly. This cannot be the will of  God. God will not allow someone marry a woman older than him, that is not done.''

''And did God say it is supposed to be someone younger? He did not give age limits, so the age is not an issue.'' The Prophetess tries to explain. 

''But what will people say? That my son married an older woman who is almost reaching menopause. They won't even have children. God forbid.'' I can't imagine not having many grand children. 

''It is God that gives children. If it His will that they have kids, so shall it be, if not, He still has a purpose for them. And let us forget about society, God does not work like man. His ways are mysterious and sounds crazy to man. My advice is that, you do not stand in the way of their destiny. There is a purpose for them both.'' 

''Maybe you should pray about it.'' Martha adds.

''You know I have not actually done that? I have been so consumed by my negativity that I have not even prayed about it. I will do so today.'' I have been so overwhelmed by my rejection of Maureen that I haven't had the initiative to pray about their relationship.

A NOTE FROM AUTHOR

A penny for your thought

1) Is Society right with the issue of age difference?

2) Does God have an issue with Maureen being older than Paul?

3) Are societal standards of marriage biblical?

    Society has practically nothing it has gotten right about those principles which are initiated by God.

    With God the purpose for two people coming together is more important than their age, background, status, know-how, etc. So it is a definite no.

    Most of them are not biblical, and it simply because most people don't study marriage from the bible, their information is greatly what their culture has define.

A MOTHER’S GRIEF

  A MOTHER’S GRIEF   “Take heart Mami Meli.” “It is well.” Those were the words she had been hearing for the past one month. Take heart ? She scoffed.  Where is the heart?           She stood there staring at her daughter’s picture, Melissa. Melissa was a five-year-old jovial kid. She had the loveliest smile and the warmest hug.  “Mummy, mummy, see what I drew for you.” Melissa would say cheerily.            She recalled all the times when she would read her bedtime stories, they would pray together and play together. Melissa was her best friend, her only fruit. Melissa looked so much like her late father, energetic, peaceful and lovely, but now they were both gone. She had sworn to take care of Melissa till her last breathe, but she failed. The signs Lord, they were there but I didn’t see it. Or maybe I played blind. She tried to warn me, she really did, but I fa...

Episode 4 𝐏𝐀𝐔𝐋’𝐒 𝐏𝐎𝐕 “But mum, you never had a problem with me dating Maureen, so why do you have a problem with me marrying her? As a matter of fact, you were so nice to her the last time you met.” I ask surprised at my mum’s reaction. “That’s because I thought she was just a fling. Someone you just want to satisfy your sexual desires with. Not a girl you want to marry. That girl is older than you and for what we know, she might already be on menopause, or worst, she could be barren.”  “Mom I am a Christian, I don’t go about sleeping with women. And even if I did, Maureen isn’t one of them. I have never even kissed her yet. I just know that she is my wife. The one destined for me.” “Just like Sarah was destined for you huh?” Touché. Her question is a reminder of my youthful swing.  I got married very young, thinking that Sarah was the one for me but I was wrong.  “I was not a believer when I met Sarah, neither was she. I am not saying she was bad but we just were...
