My mother has four daughters, and she raised every one of us in the fear of the Lord.
Like many parents, she raised all her daughters to be independent and walk in the fear of the Lord.
It was a shock to me when my mother clocked seventy and I realised that, unlike all her peers, she had no grandchildren.
The only one of her daughters who got married happened to be my older sister, and the marriage did not last.

Everything I had laid my hands upon in my life had been resoundingly successful, except my relationships
When I was in my twenties, I focused on building up my career and didn’t create any room for relationships
When I decided to go into relationships, I realised all the good men available had all gotten married
The ones that I met were either too intimidated by my success or unsure of their standing in life
I found myself on the shelf, or will I say, among the ladies crying, “God, when?”
I hear my mother praying sometimes, I hear her reading psalms and singing praises to God
We cannot say God has not been faithful
We all wanted more

I remember reaching out to Brother Gbenga in 2024
I shared my plans with him, and he urged me to go ahead
I went for the blood screening and other tests at the hospital
The following month, I was invited for the semen implant
I was confirmed pregnant a few weeks later
My joy knew no bounds
My older sister came to visit me a few weeks later, and I shared the good news with her
She reminded me that I shared the story of how God told me I would have a baby called Oluwafirewamiri with her some years ago
I rushed to my journal. I needed to confirm this, and I knew I must have written it down
I found it, and the date the Lord told me this was while I quietly prayed about my future
At the time, I thought that would be the name of the man God is sending my way
How we sometimes assume we know what God is saying…

The day my sister was to leave, I started bleeding
I told her I think I have lost the baby, she laughed and said I cannot lose the gift of God that easily
It turned out she was right
The baby was alive and growing in my belly
Another good news followed, I had been living in an apartment since I started working
God gave me an opportunity to buy and own a house
I moved in within two weeks
The day of delivery came
I had chosen elective surgery
The surgery was done, and i bled
I reached out to Brother Gbenga, he said I should not worry, I have been preserved
The doctors later told me I lost 4.6 pints of blood
They said they had to call all the specialists and consultants because no matter what they tried, the bleeding refused to stop
The option was to wheel me back into the theater and remove my uterus
Just as they were deliberating on this, the bleeding stopped
When I woke up, I found my baby sleeping gently on her cot.
The doctors and nurses were all bent over me, looking shocked
A doctor said, “How are you alive? You lost almost all the blood in your body, and you are alive and awake!
I smiled and said, “I have been preserved, sir, by God!”

Today I am here to offer the testimony of God’s faithfulness
My mother said God told her Mayowa is coming, and this was why she named the baby Mayowa
I bless the Lord for all the wonders he has done in my life
I am fulfilled and complete in Christ
Again, I declare that there is more.
I will share the good news of God and His faithfulness all the days of my life
Glory!!!!!
