SISTER ADESEWA’S TALE – Final part.
Bode came back from Lagos on saturday. He passed two nights in our house. He was so surprised at how he was warmly received by my parents and siblings. He really didn’t give me the details, but i knew he gave Pastor the full gist. With time, my dad became a loving dad to Bode. They were always talking of each other.
Bode’s 21st birthday met him in Lagos and according to him, my family marked it for him in a little way, which he really
appreciated.
He proposed to me, but i turned it down immediately. Not because I didn’t have feelings for him, but because of the age difference.
When i told mummy about it, her reply surprised me.”Go and pray about it my dear. Whatever God asks you to do, do it.. but
about the issue of age difference, it has no meaning.”
“But….Ma, even if God comes down to tell me to marry him, i dont think i can. How can i marry someone i’m 4yrs older than? He’s just 21 and i’m 25.”
She laughed n said “Is there anywhere it is written in the bible that husband must be older than his wife? The bible only says that wives should be submissive to their own husbands and as a result of that, we have programmed it in our minds that the only person we could be submissive to, must be someone older than us. For your information, i’m 3yrs older than my husband (your dad) . If i didn’t tell you now, how would u know?
Go and pray my dear and let God’s will be done”.
I prayed and I didnt have any restriction in my spirit. I told my Pastor about it and they prayed for us. My parents also agreed with the union and we got married at Ikeja Registry in december, after which we went for marriage blessings at my parents’ church.
I had a bouncing baby boy on d 17th of January, named Oluwadarasimi (Meaning: God is good to me). I decided to
stay with the Williams until i had d BABY…..
THE END….
(Your comments are welcome, thanks for reading)
Wow! That’s lovely, with God all things are possible.
Many thanks to God for the life of our dear Regen relationship setman.
Sister Adesewa’s ordeal should be a big lesson to all of us in the race.
Adesewa’s mother is a real mother and not a ‘murderer’.
She counselled her about marriage which many parents especially mothers are taking for granted.
Parents, better start it now because that’s the final college your son/daughter will gain admission. It’s for the rest of a lifetime.
We ve had so much to learn here as for me a marriage counsellor. Thank you a million times.
hum, wonderful end.
Yes…. It’s a great journey of life. May will not go astray from God plans for our life.
hmmmmmmmmmm, finally.
All will be definitely well with anyone who sticks with God.
I know some people will say she’s lucky buh I think what made the difference was that they (Sewa&Bode) retraced their steps, because some Christians are deceived by the devil by making them feel they’ve gone too far or magnifying their mistakes thereby scaring them from approaching the throne of mercy .
God will help us not to let us be carried away, he is ever ready to mend our lives no matter how bad/rotten we THINK we are.Reminds me of a song we use to sing in the teenagers choir
Sin will take you farther than you want to slowly but wholly, taking control
sin will lead you far more than you wanted to stay
hmmmm.. What a thrilling, interesting and inspiring story. One lesson learned here is that no one is infallible. It only takes the grace of God for one to stand firm till the end. It is also a lesson to Pastors and parents not to neglect their subjects when they fall cos it could jeopardise the already sorry situation. Had the Williams neglected Shewa, she would have been left with no option than to terminate the pregnancy and that would have aggravated the situation.
Rather their action brought about a positive change which thwarted the plan of the enemy for sister Shewa’s life.
More grace to you regen relationship . May you continue to wax stronger by the day in Jesus name
Good job indeed
Lovely story! Learnt lessons!! God bless Regen!!!
wonderful story,thank God for pastor and pastor Mrs Williams that was there to encourage her, we really need such people around us to put us through in this age.
Special thanks to d regen relationship admin! I believe those of us in d Christendom have learnt one or two things from this tale. Let he that thinketh is stand take heed, lest he fall. For those that av fallen into d same issue come unto Jesus he’s merciful and gracious.
Wao DAT very interesting with God all tins are possible God bless ur union!!!!!!! Enjoy ur marriage.

Interesting story indeed! I love the fact that they retraced their steps and found their way with Christ. But, I wasn’t really excited about the end. Many people make the mistake of getting or are being forced to be married to the guy that impregnated them & then live to regret it. Her decision might have been influenced by the events that had taken place & by the fact that he was sorry but, what about their personal purpose? Did they have a common purpose & vision, other than praying /sleeping together? This is something we need to consider after a mistake or while counseling because just being born again is really never enough.
Wow! The Lord is indeed a merciful God, it was His mercy that saw sister Adesuwa if not she should have been lost. Hmm… Don’t medle with sin
Wow! This shows us how merciful the Lord is, it is just His mercy we see in sister Adesuwa’s life. Hmm… Don’t medle with sin
