In this Apostle Arome Osayi message, he shares the testimony of how his wife’s family rejected him, and prevented him from marrying his wife for years.
I was 26 years old when I met the lady who is my wife today. She was 23 years old. At the time I met her, I was already ready for marriage in terms of financial capacity. So, when we took the whole matter forward and went to meet the parents. In fact, before I showed up before the mother, I was not qualified.
When I researched into the reason for the outright rejection, she didn’t hide her feelings. I found out that I was not from her extraction of the country. Now, if the reason why you are failing is because you are not a certain tribe, how do you start praying to God to help the situation? You will need the tongues of angels to be able to pray such prayers.

I never prayed that prayer in my understanding; I prayed always in tongues when I’m praying on that matter. And I remember, once upon a time, I think Chief Dun visited me. We prayed about the issue. I told Chief Dun, “See what is happening.” He was so angry; he was angry in the spirit. So, we now translated that anger to prayer.
While we were praying that prayer, a great peace entered into my heart. Meanwhile Chief Dun was still under the burden. But I knew I lost the burden to continue the prayer the moment the peace came, and that was how we ended that prayer. And I never prayed that prayer point again because I began to bask in the peace.
The peace was so strong that it took away doubt. The peace was so strong that I never had the opportunity to propose to any other lady. The peace was a strong peace. It was a few days after that peace that my mother-in-law now called me and changed the whole issue. But you know what? I was already operating in an economy of peace, and that peace kept me positive under pressure.
It means there was something else that was ruling the space of my heart – a different government. What Satan was doing in and around me was totally inconsequential at the time that peace came. The peace was like the verdict of a judge, like the statement of an umpire, the whistle of a referee. It was superior to the movement of the ball on the pitch. That peace entered into my heart.

It was after the wedding I discovered that the peace meant more than, “Okay, you will marry now,” because after the marriage, I was given a fully air-conditioned car. The peace was also telling me about a vehicle that you’ll be air-conditioned. This sweat you have been sweating, there is help. The peace, the peace, the peace!
You all know me. I was born with facial palsy, born, and I never closed this eye since I was born. And you know how my face was. It was during the wedding a doctor from the United States of America came and saw me and said, “Oh, you have facial palsy. I’m going to operate on you. I will correct your face.” The reason why I can do video ministry today and I’m presentable before the camera is because I went through a surgery. That surgery was free, and that lady was an ophthalmologist practicing in the United States—not the one in Benin City University Hospital.
You know what? Part of what that peace meant was that you are going to have a surgery, and I’ll prepare you for TV ministry. That was part of it. The peace is a collocation of realities that no human word can communicate, so it is registered as peace. The peace of God that passes understanding. We men of faith, that’s how we live. We live on the currency of that peace. It is one of the legal tenders of the new birth. The peace of God that passes all understanding
Today, my mother-in-law is my fan. In fact one of my best friends, I tell you. Her and my wife’s dad, the professor, they went to the UK for two weeks. They had a smart TV. What we mean by smart TV is that the TV is hooked up to the internet so you can be watching YouTube as if it’s movies. So, they now said these people that say they are preaching. Let’s watch them. That was when they typed my name there and clicked on one of the videos. The fire that came was enormous. So, they were rediscovering me after how many years? After about twelve years of marriage. What? The peace, that peace also witnessed about that time that they will discover me. The peace of God, it passes all understanding. It will become the barricade for your heart and for your mind.
We live by that peace. That’s how we live. That’s one of the currencies by which we live. Your situation might be suggesting something like defeat, like failure, but while we look not at the things that are seen, for the things that are seen they are temporal. The way of faith forbids us to define our lives by the things we see.
