Many men want a wife like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala but are they willing to put in the work?
Many men want a wife like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala but are they willing to put in the work? That is the question.
“My wife is a Neurosurgeon!” you hear the man say, beaming with smiles.
The woman beside him has satisfaction plastered across her beautiful face.
You are tapping into the grace.
But have you asked that man how much work he had to put in, to make that possible?
The nights he had to carry the baby when she was the registrar on call.
The long days when she had 10 hour surgeries and could not drive herself home, thereafter.
The days he came to pick a totally exhausted her up, with the baby on the back seat.
The days he had to remain at home lonely when she had to go for emergency spinal surgeries.
You were not there.
But you see that woman bowing in reverence to that man on whose arms she had leaned through the years and you are tapping into the grace.
You love the way that mountain of a woman worships him. How he is everything to her.
How she keeps saying:
“Wait. Let me ask my husband.”
And you are filled with so much admiration.
What you have not found out yet is what he had to go through to help her become who she is.
Like James and John who craved to sit beside the Lord in glory, they had no idea what the baptism he had to be baptized with was. Yet they were tapping.
When Jesus told them:
“Una don enter am!! That baptism enh? Una go baptise am. But to sit beside me, na my Papa go give that one.”
They still did not understand what he was saying.
When Herod killed James with the sword, I imagine John saying:
“Chineke Lei! What have I tapped myself into?”
He still shaa entered boiling oil and came out.
Baptism in oil.🤣
So when next you tap into the grace of the Astronaut’s husband, understand that you are tapping into much more.
Ask yourself: “I fit carry?”
If you can’t fit carry, lekwa that sister that wants to be a housewife and marry her, please.
You will have peace and she will have peace.
Don’t allow longathroat to lead you into Wahala.
Okonjo-Wahala.😂
Her nickname atogbuola m.🤣
