HOW I SUFFERED MIDLIFE CRISIS IN MY MID 40'S|| PASTOR YEMI DAVIES
I had midlife crisis 10 years ago. A lot of people didn't know in church, because you see me laughing and jumping all around. Sermon Times. When I hit 40, 42, I will just be tossing on the bed. I just felt, “This is 42, what have I achieved? Nothing. Look at this, look at that,” you'll be crying. You can't even pray. I don't even know... they call it midlife crisis.
You feel there's nothing you can do. You are already 42. See this person is 32, see what they have achieved. You already passed it, you can't do it anymore. You feel life is already empty. It's the reason why some people commit suicide. Sometimes people don't have any energy left. Sermon Times. Some people, their life just get stuck there. They are still working, but just barely surviving, just barely living. No more ambition, you understand, to do exploits, because somewhere within them, they believe, “I've missed it. I'm 45, I'm 43, I'm not married, I don't have my own car, I don't have this, I don't have that. There's something wrong with me.”
But I had to deal with it. One of the things that I did was to run to God, that I can't continue like this. “If there are gaps in my life, help me to see it.” And He showed me the gaps.
Sometimes a gap is not a sin. It could just be a mindset that you have that is, you know, some mindset kill you. You don't know it's killing you - that why do you think like this? I had to change from that kind of mindset. Sermon Times. And there are some things that I was doing that they said, “This is not the best for you. Turn it around.” And I started getting back on my feet.
Today, I'm grateful. My 50th was better than my 40th. I never knew it was gonna be like that. I'm grateful. Sermon Times. In fact, by the time I was hitting 50, around 48, I started preparing for 50, that, “Oh...” I started studying, checking, and I saw that it's better for you to win a match in the second half than scoring high in the first half and miss second half.
That what even matters most in this life is second half of someone's life. Cause growing up, I've seen people that did so well in the first half — at 40, 33, first billionaire in the family, first trillionaire — and then by the time they are 60, you don't know their name anymore. Everything is grounded.

God is about to send you somebody who actually likes you loudly, loves you intentionally, communicates maturely, and reassures you without acting irritated. No more relationships where you have to beg for effort while carrying the entire emotional weight alone. After all the fake love, breadcrumbing, and confusion, your next relationship is going to feel like Heaven. You won’t have to wonder where you stand. You won’t have to shrink to be chosen. You won’t have to decode mixed signals. You won’t have to overwork for bare minimum love. God is healing your heart so you stop calling survival “love.” What’s coming next will feel safe, mutual, peaceful, consistent, and prayed for.
The Dangote Refinery IPO is coming in September 2026.
Most Nigerians are excited about it. Very few understand what an IPO actually is, what they are buying, or what happens to their money after they invest.
This thread explains IPOs from the very beginning and uses the biggest one in African history to show you exactly how it all works.

Imagine fishing for hours and not catching any fish. Not one.
Now it’s dark, cold.
You’re hungry, thirsty, tired, bones aching, disappointed, beating up on yourself, wishing you never came.
You’ve given up.
You know everyone’s back home depending on you and now you have to deliver disappointing news.
Then out of nowhere, your best friend appears.
You tell him you came in vain—
you caught no fish.
He tells you to try again on the right side.
You look at him like he’s gotta be crazy.
You’ve been there for hours, you know for a fact the net will be empty when it comes back up again.
You do it anyway…
and would ya look @ that…
Net full.
Do you realize that your best friend is the final boss?
The one who loves & adores you is in charge.
The ocean waves turn which ever way he commands.
The hearts of the Kings are in his hands.
My goodness, I love him so much.
