Pastor Paul Enenche is 58 years old, & has been married for 31 years.

I have been married for a little over half of that.

But we are saying the same things when it comes to a man being the provider.

And we are both providers to our respective families.

Telling you that, if your wife earns N1m, and you earn N100k, and that you should give her N50k from it, is wisdom that many of you have failed to see the depth of its meaning & importance.

Is it 50k that would truly feed the wife, kids and handle the expenses?

The answer is no.

What he's saying is that you as the man should not feel entitled to your wife's money.

And that just because she's making way more than you're making, then you should relax and say she should take over from you as the provider.

He mentioned that giving your wife half of what you earn, despite her earning more, shows that you care.

And it shows that if you have more, you'd give.

Your wife will respect you better than the wife of a man who feels entitled to her money.

He's speaking wisdom.

You're the one that doesn't want to think, neither do you really have a full grasp of his message, even if you're a married man.

Lastly, there would surely be some imbalance or friction in a marriage where the wife earns more.

But a wise husband that is not greedy, will retain his position as the head of his home, for a much longer time, while he works harder to bridge the gap.

Not feel relaxed because his wife is always stepping into his roles and responsibilities for him.

End.

DEATH IS INDEED CLOSER TO US THAN WE THINK

After my tweet on Anthony Joshua’s accident and the tragic death of his close associate yesterday, the one profound lesson that stuck with me is that the end of our time is often lurking where we least expect it. While we look at that tragedy from a distance, my own story isn’t far from what has just happened.

On the 15th of July this year, I boarded a flight to Nigeria without telling a soul. The plan was a surprise visit. Since I wouldn't land until past 7 PM and my parents' house was quite far, I decided to head to my sister’s place near the airport (MMA). It was supposed to be the safest, quickest option. My sister, of course, had no idea I was even in the country.

I boarded the first Keke without issue, but five minutes into the second ride, just 30 steps away from my aunt’s gate, chaos ensued. The Keke nearly ran head-first into a trailer. I was sitting in the front, completely exposed.

To this moment, I cannot explain how we missed that impact; it was nothing short of divine intervention. If we had crashed, I would have been the first casualty, likely crushed instantly.

Later that night, as the adrenaline faded, a cold shiver ran down my spine. The "What Ifs" were louder than the crash could have been.

If I had died right there at that gate, my aunt would have heard the bang. She might have looked out the window, shaken her head at the "reckless drivers" of Lagos, and pitied the anonymous body bleeding on the asphalt.

She would have gone to bed praying for a "stranger," never knowing that the broken body outside was the younger brother she thought was safe in Europe. The surprise I planned would have been delivered by a police officer knocking on her door to identify a corpse.

But what froze me the most was the geography of it all. The hospital just down the road—the one where they would have rushed my lifeless body—is the exact same hospital where my mother gave birth to me.

Think about the terrifying poetry of that: To travel thousands of miles only to have my life clock stop at the exact coordinate where it started. To leave the world through blood in the very same building where I arrived through blood.

I sat there shaking my head at the irony. I had survived a 7-hour flight across oceans, only to almost lose my life in a 5-minute Keke ride on a quiet street. We walk around planning for the next decade, forgetting that we don't even own the next minute.

Death is indeed closer to us than we think.

May the Almighty grant the family of the deceased the fortitude to bear this sudden loss, and may He protect us all from the sudden calamities of night and day.

It's good to be grounded in scriptures. It's good to know your onions. You won't get carried away with nonsense. So, STUDY. It's not about how much you can quote but how much you understand.

Finally done with people-pleasing. I’ve hung up that boot for good.

Lived it. I don’t recommend it.

Farewell, beautiful game.

Some family members may not be able to contribute financially to weddings, graduations, funerals, or other gatherings—but they show up with their hands and their hearts. Don’t overlook the uncle who doesn’t give money but ensures the cow is properly slaughtered.

A few days ago, I attended @FidaAbuja Sip & Connect event for female new wigs—an empowering experience!

Special thanks to the Chairperson @OnyenucheyaUko and her team for creating spaces where women uplift and learn from one another.

My dad was in a car accident almost a year ago.

He spent three weeks in a coma. During that time, the only things he could hear, if he heard anything at all, were my little brother whispering, “Fight, Dad,” and the Braveheart score playing softly from my phone.

My mom never left his side. Not once. She slept upright in a hospital chair, holding his hand. She didn’t go home. She didn’t take a “Starbucks break.” She stayed with my dad.

People say women marry for protection, for resources, for provision.
But what happens when the man can no longer provide? When he can’t speak, can’t walk, can’t open his eyes?

That’s when you see what a marriage is.

My brothers and my husband lifted his body when he couldn’t lift himself. I figured out how to pay his credit card so his credit wouldn’t be dinged. I cooked meals at home and my brother’s boss treated our family to meals at restaurants. Friends sent gifts to my parents’ home. My kids brought youthful energy and joy.

My mom was his rock, his reason. Once he came back to us, he didn’t want anyone but her near him. And she never once complained. She was just grateful he was alive.

They say love is willing the good of the other.

But for a man? A good woman is more than rubies. She reminds you who you are when you forget. She stands by you in sickness and in health. When there’s only the sound of hospital machines and a heartbeat she’s praying won’t stop.

In the East, men were the warriors and women the healers.
In the West, men held the power and women had grace.

But in every culture, the deepest truth is the same:
A good woman brings you back to life
and gives you children and grandchildren who adore you, who drop everything to be by your side when it matters most.

Hand hygiene is powerful!

Shaking hands, touching surfaces, and forgetting germs can travel fast.

Proper hand washing protects you and others.

Your health is worth 20 extra seconds.

We can't be experiencing the law of diminishing returns as a country.
Proverbs 4:18
But the path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
It's time for us to trust God to salvage our nation and recover our glory.
