#The Tenant#

Him: Will you marry me?

She: You are not serious, we are both looking for a job and you are proposing, do you think marriage is a joke?

He got a job.

Him: Will you marry me now?

She: So we will marry and be walking everywhere in the same attire on weekends, get a car joor!

He got a car.

Him: Will you marry me now?

She: So we will marry and be sharing that same 2 bedroom flat with your younger brother. 

Noooooo. 

I will like to have my own space. You need to get your own apartment and furnish it, make sure it is three bedroom. One room for guests.

He got a three bedroom apartment.

Will you marry me now?

Can anybody make a move without God? I am praying about it.

It will help if you will ask my parents for consent to seek my hand in marriage so that I can be sure of your intentions.

He goes to her home, meets her family, they had dinner together and he asked for the permission.

Her mother said: It is up to her.

Her father said: Go ahead and ask her.

Him: Will you marry me now?

She: Why are you rushing me, I have things to do. I want to have my masters in the UK.

Him: We have been friends for two years, your family regards me as a son and mine regard you as a daughter. It seems inevitable that we will get married. How else am I to convince you I love you and will like to marry you as soon as possible

Her: I think we need some time apart.

Next day she left home for her elder brother's house.

He was devastated.

His younger brother comes around and said, there is a babe in my office. If I am not engaged, I would have joyfully proposed to her. This is her phone number. She is very intelligent. Chat with her.

He sends her a line

She responds.

He sends another,

She responds.

They chat all day and all night.

Became fast friends but didn't meet face to face for three months.

She wanted to see him but he sees her as a buffer keeping him sane until the love of his life comes to her senses.

They meet.

He liked who she is.

He liked what she represents.

He liked her candour.

It didn't help that she is the opposite of the lady on self imposed exile.

She is encouraging, homely, doesn't complain, is very generous, helpful, doesn't fuss about domestic stuff, a wife...

She lives with her parents.

Her office is very far from home.

She spends hours in traffic everyday.

He offered her his guest room

Just for weekdays.

She goes home for the weekend.

Well...

The "love of his life returned from exile", saw the whole house had a feminine touch.

Saw food in the freezer. Saw the house neat, tidy and well organised.

Said: Is it the tenant in your guest room that has turned herself to a housegirl? I thought you said she is gainfully employed. Some people are just desperate in this world.

He felt hurt by her words.

Next Saturday, tenant told him her parents will like to meet the person she is staying with.

He said ok.

She said Please don't come empty handed. Come with a basket of fruits. My parents will appreciate it.

He said ok.

He bought a basket of fruits.

Went to her house with a friend.

Her parents welcomed him with open arms.

He went to the car and brought in the basket of fruits.

Her mother jumped.

Her father was happy.

They started praying.

"MAY YOU HAVE MALE AND FEMALE CHILDREN IN JESUS NAME"

He was confused.

Her mother said "These fruits are a clear indication of your good intentions towards our daughter. You have behaved like a proper Yoruba boy. We will consult with our people and give you a date your parents can come and meet with us. This is a day of joy.

He felt happy.

He knew he didn't plan to propose.

But well...

He and his friend got home.

The love of his life was waiting by the entrance.

She: Where were you? I have called you several times.

Him: I was driving

Friend: We went for his introduction 

She faints.

Him: Why did you tell her that?

Friend: it is better to tell the truth once and for all.

She after fanning her and pouring water on her head, she revives.

She: Tell me it is not true

Him: Silence

Friend: Looks away.

She: You men are wicked. After all these years. She cried and left.

He married the tenant.

She was in the hospital for many months after. She really fell ill.

He wondered why she was forming when she really loves him that much.

This is is a real story

Both of them are happily married.

He married "tenant"in 2010

She married in 2018.

The irony is

- She never went to the UK

1) The guy she married is still searching for a job.

2) Moved in with her into her 2 bedroom apartment in Mowe, Ogun state.

3) Drives her car.

Moral of the story;

*You can reason yourself out of a good thing**

And...

**You can stumble into a good thing.**

**Good Morning & Have A Lovely Day**

Sex is not a proof of love in a premarital relationship.

 When it's engaged in it's  called sexual immorality.

It's not a love test to have sex in a relationship, it's a quest for sin which is fired by lust.

If they say they will leave you because you choose not to have sex with them, let them go and I will suggest you help them carry their bags out of your life.

It's better you let them leave you than for you to separate from God and His great  plans for your life because of a sinful relationship.

Being on the side of God means He will lead you to a spouse that will love, honor and respect you.

Choose today to live in purity and receive His Grace to empower you to live in purity.

I celebrate you🙇🏿‍♂️
