BOLUWATIFE

(The predicament of unplanned pregnancy in marriage) Romans 8:28.

John and Sandra have been married for four years and within the space of these years, their family have been blessed with two children a boy and girl. 

It was a usual Saturday in the Adetola's residence where they came together with their little baby of about 6 months and their toddler of who was three years old...the couple were worshipping God in songs in the early hours of the morning only for Sandra to feel this nauseating feeling right from her stomach to her throat which made her excused herself to the *Ladies* where she eventually vomitted and began to feel very sick. Her husband quickly came to check on her seeing she was taking a while to return having handed over the baby (Anuoluwapo) to him. Are you ok he asked? Her response said it all....He suggested she went to the Hospital later in the day. They concluded their morning devotion however, where the HolySpirit impressed on John's heart a particular scripture from the book of Roman 8:28. The wife in amazement responded that has been the word she has been receiving from God for some days now...I wonder what God is trying say she pondered as they shared the *grace*

HER RETURN FROM THE HOSPITAL.

Welcome darling her husband gave her a warm hug holding baby in His hand while the toddler by name Tolu cuddles his mum's legs. You don't look so good. What's did the doctor say: he conducted various test for me only to come out with this *bomb shell*Honey am pregnant....the silence in the sitting room was beyond  description...the power holding company also helped to make the silence "louder"....as they took the light*power* off...the baby stopped giggling at the voicing of her last words..."am pregnant".....

WE ARE NOT DOING THIS!!!

Two days passed after Sandra told John about her new state but he said nothing. Only for him to return from work the next day after dinner and prayers...they were about to sleep he called out for his wife "Sandra we are not doing this!!!Sandra asked politely as ever...I don't understand you ...doing what?  John responded so rudely I mean we can't have this baby?!! Sandra was filled with her emotions as she wanted to give out an outburst of anger mixed with tears but being a graceful woman she maintained decorum as she asked politely so what do we do ?she asked....we get it out he replied and that was the last straw that broke the camel's back...she lashed out at her husband with every anger in her ...How could you John? You a child of God suggesting an "abortion" are you ok? God..she said pacing up and down the room...I can't believe my ears John you a minister of God's word that knows and teaches the word of God, suggesting an abortion she finally broke down in tears....Her husband also broke down sobbing along as he said: Sweet heart am sorry am worried, you had Anu via CS(caesarian session) you are barely healed and our present financial condition and all....Am afraid. Sandra held him and reminded him God had already sent them His word Romans 8:28. He sighed. They both held themselves in a warm embrace and Sandra said to John we will pull through this ,I will carry this seed to full term and bring HIM forth in peace and joy. My love Sandra said Let's trust God on this again and we will pull through...God doesn't fail. Those last words "God doesn't fail" pierced into John's heart as he broke down in tears crying and pleading for forgiveness for ever doubting God's faithfulness and considering murder. He said to himself ...I need fresh 🔥 he eventually set out for a retreat and he was revived spiritually.

IT WASN'T THAT EASY BUT GOD WAS THERE...

The remaining eight months in the Adetola's family was quite stressful for John and Sandra but the strength of God was helping to see them through. There was a time that business was on the downward slope for John and it seems all hell would break loose but God kept proving himself as as the *Jehovah Jireh* the God who provides.

They were frightening health challenges Sandra had to face but the Lord *Ralph* kept healing and upholding. They was particular night Sandra woke up with a terrible scream mixed with pains only to find out she was bleeding...she was rushed to the hospital on time and she was given proper medical attention , she warned against stress and adviced to have a bed rest....this resulted in the suspension of her business for a while which therefore affected the family income but God never for once left them as he already gave them supportive extended family to cater for the children and even her.

The eight months seemed like eight years but at the end it came out as praise : miraculously Sandra state defied every medical conclusion as she not only brought the baby to full term but was able to have the child via normal delivery process instead of an operation as concluded by her medical practioners. Hallelujah it's a boy and he was Christened BOLUWATIFE(THE WILL OF GOD)

TIME FLIES....

It was a beautiful afternoon as the weather was ⛅ sunny but with the feel of cool breeze underneath...the auditorium was filled with happy people chatting and discussing and waiting for the programme to commence properly. The student were beautifully arrayed in their regalia as they filed out in a duo line to their decorated sits. The event commenced with an open speech from the *vice Chancellor* of the school....and later a guest speaker who came to encourage and enlighten the students about the world out there they were going to face. The Adetola's family with their two grown children (Tolu and Anu) who has been come professional s in their various fields came to witness a great day in the life of their brother and family as a whole. In the agenda of the programme it got to the part of rewards for outstanding performances in academics and morals and a name kept being mentioned at every point in time....yes your guess is as good as mine BOLUWATIFE JOHNSON ADETOLA....He eventually was announced as the best graduating student overall ....with great joy in his 💓 heart he walked to to podium to collect his award/plaq /certificates....John Adetola's Bolu's father screamed from his seat "that's my son" that's my son" holding tightly his wife's hand....Mrs Sandra whispered to her husband : REMEMBER WE ARE NOT DOING THIS...he let out a shy smile and said I am thankful and grateful to God that we did this and truly he makes all things work together for good.. ..

MORAL OF THE STORY

If you are a child of God ....you are in His will and no matter how things may look it will definitely turn out for your good. Don't despair in the time of challenges ...hold on to God . Something great is coming out of his will.

AWESOME ....

BOLUWATIFE was a scientist and two years later after his graduation had a major break through in his field that made his name and definitely that of His father a name that will linger on for decades if not centuries if the coming of the Lord tarries. He was able to come up with vaccines to treat and prevent a deadly virus which had been in existence 30years before he was born. BOLUWATIFE became a savior to many.

Trust in God even if you don't understand ...it's going to be for your good.

Thanks for reading.
