Proper Recovery After Delivery of a Baby
**********************************

How do you feel when you take antibiotics?

I feel like l am drying up, and need to eat well, and drink more water to restore some freshness.

How does a sore feel? Wet or dry?

The answer is wet. Wounds or sores, unlike well healed scars are relatively 'moist' or 'wet'.

What are the chances that wounds which did not heal well could get infected as compared to healthy skin or scars?

Wounds could easily get infected.

*****************
How does a woman who has delivered a baby feel?

The answer is 'wounded'.

A woman who has delivered a baby not long ago feels 'wounded', and needs to heal properly. There is a difference between healing and proper healing.

It has come to the attention of the older women in the church that some of our young mothers are not actually aware that after delivery, it takes about to get healed properly. A WHOLE YEAR! Not just some weeks of taking drugs administered at the hospital. Those drugs and sometimes injections are for immediate relief, but there is a need for deeper healing which most women are not aware of. This deeper healing ensures that the mother is stronger and not nauseous months or years after delivery. There have been reports of some young mothers abstaining from certain kinds of foods, even eggs, months after delivery because suddenly they find those food very nauseating.

Others, after some years have been more prone to certain kinds of infections which have been fatal. It is for this reason that concerns have been raised.

Taking hospital drugs, sitting on hot water (steaming) and eating certain kinds of special hot meals to heal the body has proven not enough for some women as our bodies differ from person to person.

Steaming for normal delivery through the birth canal, CS.
************************
Most women in our part of the world are not exposed to the douching can, which has a tube attached to it to enable warm water to travel deeper into the birth canal to heal it well, especially the mouth of the womb. We are only used to sitting on hot water buckets, however the douching can is more effective.

If you had cuts at the opening of the birth canal which were stitched, sitting in real hot water is not advisable, rather sit on warm water, in order not to disturb the stitches to allow healing gently, especially if your skin is relatively softer.

**************
The main purpose for this article is to highlight on ensuring properly healing of your body over a period of ONE YEAR after delivery.

About a month after completing the hospital drugs, you need to get 'the breast-feeding mothers herbs better still, woods called Obaatan aduro in the dialect Twi, boil and drink about a tot or two everyday for about a period of one whole year. It's a mixture of woods or herbs and spices. This comes in two categories, one for mother's who had normal delivery through the birth canal, and one for those who had caesarian section. You need to say that kind of delivery you had, to get the right combination of woods and spices from the herbal doctor, most of whom are located in the markets. Currently, the breast-feeding mothers' herbs cost about ¢30.00.

In waiting to get the breast-feeding mothers' herbs, an alternative is to crush negro pepper('whintia' in the Twi dialect), crush fresh ginger (ideally, don't scrap the skin of the ginger) , and also cloves (peppre in the Twi dialect). Add this three spices in a bottle of clean water overnight and take a tot or two about 2 to 5 minutes before meals. Wash these spices with salt water and rinse with ordinary water before crushing them.

Also note that when the walls of the birth canal is not healed properly, about 3 months after delivery, s*x could cause bleeding, and could be fatal . Also the introduction of sperms into a womb which has not healed properly could be fatal. In this case condoms are advisable, but abstaining is best.

Stay healthy and regain your strength after delivery🙏

Delayed Pregnancy verses Unexpected Pregnancy
*******

I think we need to talk. You see, in the Bible, do you realise that apart from just one or two people who had children easily, most people who struggled to conceive actually had generation-transforming children? For example Sarah, Elizabeth, Hannah, Rebecca, Rachel.

Sometimes, the people God wants to draw closer to Himself are those who are denied certain things, so that they would learn to draw closer to Him. Who did God love more than Father Abraham, yet Abraham did not find it easy having his promised child. You see, God can do anything, at anytime, yet in His own wisdom, He chooses when to act, and when to remain silent. The devil is able to work just because God has allowed him.

When l listen to women who childbearing has become a burden to, after having two or more children unexpectedly, and l see them disturbed l wonder...? They wished they had taken it a little easier, and l wonder what's going on; those who are having children are unhappy because they are seriously burdened, (and trust me, without adequate help, it could be so frustrating it could drive one into the tears.) The physical aspect of taking care of children alone, humm, could be so hard single-handedly. Now l see people whose child-bearing has delayed as 'blessed'; excuse me to say; what really is the use of being over-burdened with three, four or five children, when one could be delayed to have just one or two? When one is anxious, they fail to see other issues.

With those of us who are still waiting for marriage, and the fruit of the womb, let's be patient with God. lnstead of being worried and venturing into areas we must not, let's occupy ourselves with other useful activities, because those who entered early, and are trying to avoid having more children are fainting due to modern family planning methods or contraceptives, most of which suck blood and energy, ITS A PROBLEM WHICH MUST BE ADEQUATELY ADDRESS FOR WOMEN ONCE and for all! I made some inquiries about natural ways of controlling conception, and the only reasonable method l found, (but highly dangerous method l am told, because it could rush a person to the emergency room according to Doctor Akuamoah Boateng of Kingdom Grace, Weija, Accra, and be used) was the castor seed, which rumours are that it could prevent pregnancy for at least one month after swallowing just one.

I also discovered the negro pepper which we call 'whintia' in the twi language in Ghana, however, how on earth could a person drink this 'tea' every time, wouldn't it be drug abuse? I think the negro pepper tea is best as an emergency contraception. I also discovered the herb called 'aduedzi' in the Ewe language of Ghana, and (same as 'awuba atu wuakyi' in Fante)and l am told it's very effective in preventing pregnancy, with no side effects. According to the very reliable source, she soaks it in alcoholic beverages and takes it before and after s*x.

Thank God for any situation you may find yourself in, free your mind, and use your time wisely, and for The Kingdom of God. Bless God always, for He is good, and His mercies endure. If you are making more money, or if you have some time, lend a helping hand to the less fortunate, and God will meet you at the point of your need.

Excuse me to say, to me, it's not a bad thing for pregnancy to be delayed for 2 to 5 years after marriage, when a person married early. Getting married does not mean having children the next year. To me, getting married is worth it, simply because one has 'secured' his or her life with the right person. The only problem is when all one's worth to her husband is to have children, cook and clean the house, so let's try to marry men who would find us useful in other areas as well, or appreciate us for who God has made us, and not because of pregnancy, so that we could find ourselves worthy even when pregnancy is delayed. Self-worth, to me, it so important.

Thank you very much 😊.

A deformed Soul
*********

I saw a nice lady, married to a man in a wheelchair, and so l travelled to visit her, to find out more about her.

I suspected she had a very beautiful heart, but what she told me was that she discovered that most of the men on their feet were more deformed than the man she married, "...does not give me headaches over any character issues. Even in the wheelchair he is so independent to the point of doing things for himself. My mother told me that if l would be happy to see his face every morning, then l could go ahead and marry him. The first time l met him, he was driving his car, l didn't know he was physically challenged. We exchanged contacts, and spoke on phone for some months before l discovered that he was physically challenged, but l realized his soul was upright and sound. It dawned on me that most of the men l had met were extremely mentally and spiritually challenged. Now we have a son, and we are very happy. I have a peaceful marriage and home. I am blessed."

How deformed could the soul be👉Anger, Envy, Hatred, Covetousness, Lust. Unfortunately, we sometimes conclude that as for lust and anger, they are normal as long as we are human, except that one needs to control them. However, one needs to meet people who are as peaceful as doves, to know that anger is not normal, likewise lust. They are serious deformities of the soul. The Bible tells us to be 'dead' to sin, how can a dead person be provoked to anger. The Bible tells us not to allow the sun to set on our anger, l believe it's with people who cannot help getting angry. My attention was also drawn to the fact that some temperaments are more prone to getting angry. However let's be very frank with ourselves, sometimes the degree of our anger, even though we don't allow the sun to set on it, is able to cause 'unrepairable' damage, even before the sun decides to set.🤔...Anger, l have discovered, is a very strong spirit which one must set time aside and make a very conscious effort to deal with through serious fasting and prayers. It is a very stubborn spirit, and the worse part of the story is that it usually takes people by surprise. It's very disgraceful, and another 'shameless' spirit.

To be continued.

Restoration of sanity, is more of a prayer topic, not marriage.
**************

Ei, 'mens' and 'womens' of today, they shock funs ooo. They way they marry, and quit marriage, sometimes, l just want to 👏👏👏 clap for them. The day l heard that a woman is bound to her husband divorce or no divorce, l just bizz myself say, this one be true WORD. Imagine, how can a woman have more than one s*xual partner? If the first one fails, l beg, watch out before they turn your body into 'tuo saucepan', because chances that the next one would also fail are very, very high, according to statistics, or testimonies. It's therefore in a woman's own interest to remain single till God speaks, unless if she doesn't mind being s*xually abused. So Jesus said, "...if the wife departs from her husband, she should remain OR reconcile to her husband."

People just marry and quit at the least provocation... I am telling you, in this kind of era we are living in, moral standards have dropped to such a pitiful level that no one should tell you that the devil is seriously at work, breaking relationships left, right and center, front. Relationships break up rampantly virtually pushing the majority into adultery, because the only difference between marriage and a relationship is that one has 'papers' or witnesses backing it, but the other does not, but in the sight of God, they are actually the same. One white lady said this, but l disputed it until my very HONOURABLE PROPHET WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM explained it, "The wedding ceremony is not the marriage, the marriage takes place between just the two, , before the ceremony. The wedding ceremony only gives you the permission to live together, but you are already married by your proposal if it was sincere and if it was also sincerely accepted"(Not under any duress or manipulation). Per this statement, if l have never seen the devil before, l think l can see his shadow by the way and manner that relationships break...He is simply put, "SHAMELESS".

What do people see in the partners they choose in the first place... because l kind of got a little closer to one pious man of God once, and l bet you...l reserve my comments...he didn't look like he did from a distance...Ei!

What do you look for when you want to choose...???

Let my give you a brief history about my relationship life, maybe it will encourage you, if you are younger, ok. The first time l got closer to a male was when l was 18 years old. I was shocked that a young man about my age would not entertain a young woman if she would not give in to s*x. I met so many other men, who had the same philosophy, and eventually, l counted about 19 young men...and this is indeed very serious. They will actually drive you away like an animal, as long as you won't give in. So, along the way when I met one who could accept me without s*x, INFACT, l was in heaven! We were so happy together. When you meet a true friend, he will not need s*x to be satisfied with you. He or she would be happy just because you are you, it is the joy of the person's personality and companionship which comes into play; how the or handles you. I tell you, 'true love, has no s*x attached to it whatsoever', except that l think it's too difficult to find in our time and age, because honestly, people have lost their senses and need restoration, and that to me, should be our , sincerely🙏. Perversion has gone too high. Ooo Charlie! Animals don't even behave themselves in this manner.

Anyway, let me come back to the main idea...What do you look out for, in a person, before you decide on them? It's a matter of what you need as a person. Personally, l look out for a man, who doesn't only go to church, but who truly the Word of God to the , his weaknesses. We all have weaknesses and issues, but when you respect God, you your weaknesses, and not them. That's the only way that you could do something about them with the help of God. I choose this kind because l have a pressing need for security.

I know people who will choose because of s*x, or money, of just because they want to have babies. I don't think there is anything wrong with they reasons, as long as they find people who fall into their category. Some people just want to have babies, and so after one or two children, they don't mind a divorce. If both parties have the same mindset, it's a 'perfect' union; there wouldn't be heartbreaks or disappointments. There are many women and men who don't actually want the typical marriage because they can't stand it, even though they want to marry..."You can't change a cat into a sheep by washing it with soap and water."

Brothers and sisters, know what you want, and what will satisfy you before you choose. Don't choose because the person is available, and good enough. NO! Choose because you know the person's values, and you agree with them, else get ready for disaster. Choose because you know the person well enough to know how they would react or respond to issues. I was talking to one woman of God some few days ago, and she believed that, there is no purpose or reason for marriage, when the money finishes. Listen to what people say When you move with them, and don't take some comments for granted. When people pass such comments you should read in-between the lines, and then know what you are getting yourself into.

How well do you know your partner, before marriage? If you want to live with a person, you must get very, very, well acquainted to them, and not stand at a distance praying. The Bible doesn't tell us to pray alone, but TO ' ' also, so how can you see well from a far away distance? Apart from prayers, you must be truly a friend to that person, to know them well enough. You can't spend the rest of your life sharing a room with someone you didn't take time to know? The challenge, however is temptations to s*xual immorality, but where there is a strong will to abstain, there are always ways out, so sincerely, that shouldn't be a problem.
My problem is that you should 'be at home' with them. Know their likes and dislikes, choices and preferences, and be sure they will fit into your life before you decide on them. I strongly believe that one has to connect to another on a regular daily basis to know them well, before deciding on them .

Don't propose or accept a proposal, but get to know the person well, well, well, well, till you could even predict their behaviour. Know them at your fingertips, and this is only possible be spending more time with them, contrary to what most churches would allow.

I don't believe in allowing church to interfere with relationships, because it's not the Pastor who is going to live with the choice. What churches must rather be doing is to help people get the Holy Spirit, and bear the fruit of the Spirit which is - . If one has the Holy Spirit, which is a must before marriage, one would not struggle to abstain from premarital s*x, besides marriage is not even the solution to promiscuity; a promiscuous person, will remain a promiscuous person even after marriage, if God does not intervene. Can the Pastor have time to monitor every married person in his church in this time and age when married women are not even seen as married? Let the conviction of the Holy Spirit do the monitoring, that's His job, not the Pastor's.

The missing link.

THE HARD TRUTH about choices...
*****
The reason why most people or most women fail to be submissive is because their husbands fail to present to them the whole information. Let's take a man of God who marries a working class woman, and after marriage asks her to quit her job so that she would find time to assist his ministry. Most women have found this quite disturbing, and frustrating, and this issue has collapsed a lot of marriages. How could one tell his wife to quit her job and assist him, when the he is not earning so much? It could be very disturbing, but l think its about time we get one or two things straightened out.

Women, let's understand that our purpose is our husbands' purpose, so that we could watch out, and not get hooked up with the wrong guy.

As painful as it may sound, God created a woman not to work for herself, but to work for her husband, and so if you are a born doctor, and you want to marry a Prophet, then the first question you should be asking yourself before you say "Yes l do", is how can a doctor fit into the life of a Prophet? Sometimes when the 'love' is brewing, we forget to ask yourselves some of these questions, and enter into the marriage only to get frustrated. A nurse marries a Pastor, only to discover that she should have paid more attention to her ex-doctor boyfriend, even though they were not in the same church. 🤔

Let's face some of these facts before it's too late to undo things. I am a journalist, what kind of man would l be most useful to...? Probably a politician. If l marry a doctor, l would probably be thinking of medical newsletter publications, if and only if l am interested in medical news. Am l interested in medical news? I must ask myself this question. Obviously l have more passion for religious and social news, so what kind of man would find me more of an asset? Not a doctor, l guess. Talk about religious news, then l must be looking at a minister, talk about social news; social welfare, then l must be looking at people who see to the social welfare of people such as chiefs and politicians. Chiefs are obviously out of the question, so l would settle for either a Pastor, or a Politician ...or a synchrony of the two...🤷...if l want to feel useful.

Who are you, what kind of man would you find yourself more useful to? Ask yourself before quitting your job after marriage becomes an issue for you.

Hum, a woman who is specialized in Montessori marries a man whose profession sends him no where near children, but rather, computer programming for example. How useful could the wife be to the husband? What do they have in common?

A lot of women find their jobs or professions confronted by their husbands after marriage, but the men don't actually explain things clearly. Most of the time, there is a missing link somewhere. Why can't the man just allow the woman to continue with whatever profession she was into. Sometimes when they want their wives to quit one job for the another, it sounds like asking a fish to start flying 🤷. Why does the man need her assistance, can't he find it else where?... I know women whose marriages have virtually broken because they feel more committed to their employers or bosses rather than to their own husbands; after the 'love' and 'anxiety' fades, they face the truth that, " Birds of a feather flock together."

If there has to be a change, it has to be so gradual that the woman would reach the point, or come into terms by herself, the need for her to find a job which would make it possible for her to support her husband, else forcing a toddler to start running 100m races would really frustration of mind, heart, soul spirit and body.

How can you marry a Pastor when you have no passion for soul winning, or you do not have any passion for the well-being of society per say? How can you marry an engineer when you don't have any affinity for machines and engines? How can you marry a doctor when you do not have any knowledge or passion for medicine or nursing? How can you marry a fashion designer when you have no interest in the needle, the sewing machine, or even modeling? How can you marry a caterer when you don't like staying in the kitchen? I am asking the women. So when you are together, what profitable issues would you discuss so that there would always be a meeting point to draw you closer for a sense of belonging; what would be the purpose of your union? A lot of women feel left alone in their marriages, and its usually because after the love fades, there is no other 'meeting point'. Let's take our time to weighs things before they start weighing us. 🙆
Let's face the facts before the facts face us. This is the .

So check: ✔️Value system,✔️ similarities in talents, ✔️Treatment or level of unconditional respect and fondness.

God help us😢 🙏

How can you be part of The Bride of Christ if you do not have The Spirit (The Passion) of Christ? 🤷

Be careful to obey The Word of God if you are a child of God.

Normally, a second marriage doesn't work, as long as the first wife is alive. We regret my mistake in the past, we were told, but we did not pay heed because we did not believe, and we suffered the consequences. The things which apply to the children of God, do not apply to the children of darkness, so listen to advice, and accept instructions.

"A wife must not depart from her husband, but if she does, she should remain single, or be reconciled back to her husband."

How can she be reconciled when the husband goes in for a second woman, when Jesus also said that in the beginning it was 1 man to 1 woman; NO POLYGAMY? Lets watch out. Jesus said except (that's before marriage), a man cannot condemn his wife and remarry, AND NOT if a wife commits adultery, a man can remarry,.... else the Prophet of God in the Bible would not have been told by God to go back for his pr******te wife. That's what we do to Christ, falling back into our sins over, and over again, yet He never rejects us when we , and go back to Him, so why can't we do same for our neighbours...if not, we are , because if we cannot forgive our neighbours, our sins would also not be forgiven.

Remain single after a divorce, or work things out with the help of God, and reconcile. I repeat, never go in for a second woman when the first woman is alive, because going in for a second woman, is the same sin of adultery.

I think we need to talk. You see, in the Bible, do you realise that apart from just one or two people who had children easily, most people who struggled to conceive actually had generation-transforming children? For example Sarah, Elizabeth, Hannah, Rebecca, Rachel.

Sometimes, the people God wants to draw closer to Himself are those who are denied certain things, so that they would learn to draw closer to Him.

Thank God for any situation you may find yourself in, free your mind, and use your time wisely, and for The Kingdom of God. Bless God always, for He is good, and His mercies endure. If you are making more money, or if you have some time, lend a helping hand to the less fortunate, and God will meet you at the point of your need.

Excuse me to say, to me, it's not a bad thing for pregnancy to be delayed for 2 to 5 years after marriage, when a person married early. Getting married does not mean having children the next year. To me, getting married is worth it, simply because one has 'secured' his or her life with the right person. The only problem is when all one's worth to her husband is to have children, cook and clean the house, so let's try to marry men who would find us useful in other areas as well, or appreciate us for who God has made us, and not because of pregnancy, so that we could find ourselves worthy even when pregnancy is delayed. Self-worth, to me, it so important.

Thank you very much 😊.

Speak the truth

I didn't say don't be polite, or don't add wisdom to it; the heart and tone or motive attached to your message is important if you want a positive feedback from your audience; some people speak the truth so stupidly,that it could be very insulting or disturbing, in the end, they rather become offensive.

One huge problem of Ghanaian society is keeping up appearances... I see it as inferiority complex; pretending to be what they are not. When they cannot even manufacturer toothpicks, they have the mouth to criticize some mobile phones as 'yam'. With such an attitude, true development, and self-sufficiency will always be a mirage because one can get to class 6 without first passing class 5 exams, and even if you lobby your way there,you will only mess things up,and fail. You would have been better off in class 5, relaxing, and excelling till your time is due.

Speak the truth! A lot of people have the habit of covering up things they need to address, and at the end of the day, they keep carrying their and for years, because they see being honest as remaining in class 5; they want promotion when they are not due,this is the biggest problem: DISHONESTY

Speak the truth always.
The reason why your elders call you in public to ask you if the man who has come for your hand in marriage should be given the nod or not, is because they want to detach themselves from the consequences of giving a man who does not deserve to have authority over you, THE POWER to rule you,so that when you suffer, you will suffer alone, and they will not be answerable to God in ANY WAY.

Speak the truth always
Don't allow the way your step mother behaves towards you to blinden you to approve a man you know very well does not have respect for Christ; in every sound marriage, THE HEAD OF THE MAN IS CHRIST! This is why even witches will not marry wizards, yet we see Christian women compromising for worldly men!
