Between Royalty and The Common Folk

I believe sincerely that some life decisions do not need the intervention of third parties for those who grow up as they should and mature into the right thinking. It is my personal belief that a mature adult, regardless of gender, ought to take some steps to remedy his or her situation but refuses to take those steps while hiding behind prayer and fasting is only fooling himself or herself. There is a season we do some things for pleasure and there is a season we do some things for the sake of duty and posterity.

I recall having a conversation with a divorced sister a few months ago. She was thirty-five, had been divorced for three years, and was still searching for true love. I told her royalty do not get married like commoners. A commoner had always had the luxury of getting married for love and feelings; he or she has nothing of value at stake apart from his or her own life.

Royalty has a lot at stake. Legacy, securing the bloodline of the family, producing children on time in order to train and raise them with the strength and energy of youth.

Allowing your parents, who had only you as their child, to experience the joy of being grandparents and the fulfilment of knowing that in their lifetime, everything they had worked for is not for nothing.

I remember watching Yellowstone, the TV series on Netflix, and the main actor, upon learning that his daughter had gone for an abortion earlier in life when she was a teenager and as a result got her womb removed, screaming "It is all for nothing!" in fact, the title of that episode was "All for Nothing"

I was shocked that white folks also think that way. It delights the Lord to see the scriptures fulfilled in our lives.

The righteous leave an inheritance for their children's children. This means the righteous will be wealthy, they will store up an inheritance, and there is a guarantee that they will have children, and their children too will have children to give the inheritance to.

It is the sinner that the Lord said may be wealthy, but they will not have children to hand over their wealth to; therefore, their wealth will be stored up for the righteous.

The sister I was talking to came from royal blood, and she was the only child of her parents. She was waiting for love, but love was not supposed to be the priority. The priority has always been to have a child of her own so that the bloodline of her family is preserved.

Her parents had been patient and prayerful, hoping that she would come to see what is expected of her and give duty its due. She, however, was acting like one of those ladies who were not born into privilege and had no legacy to preserve.

The conversation was hot and fiery. I was taking sugar away from an addict and offering bitter leaf in its place. She was crying for love. I was screaming for a baby.

One does not necessarily have to mean the absence of the other, but we all know that love and all the other feelings many of today's folk magnify dissolve into memories later in life.

What is of substance in royalty is not feelings but duty. We must do what we have to do; in order to get the result, we desire in life. Royalty does not pray for a spouse; commoners do.

Commoners are poor, and because of this, they depend a lot on luck, chance, and opportunities to secure a good future for themselves. Royalty has a lot to offer in terms of wealth, a good name, legacy, security, and institutional support. Everything a commoner lack and prays for.

We tell the children of the commoners to pray so that they can marry right.

We arrange for the children of royalty to marry into the right family.

We ask the commoner if he or she loves who he or she wants to marry.

We ask the royalty if the person arranged for him or her is satisfactory.

A royal union is a union of legacies and history, not love.

Royalty learns this early and keeps his or her eyes on the prize.

You cannot be thirty-five years old, be of royal blood, and be holding the security of the bloodline hostage in your uterus. You have a duty to become a parent ahead of your cravings for romance.

Of course, I will give the same counsel to any other lady regardless of her background, but I would be less serious or intentional about it if I noticed that the lady cannot see beyond the limitations of her upbringing into the sort of future she should have.

If a lady is poor, does not have a job, and is struggling through life, regardless of her age, what she needs when it comes to self-preservation is a man, not a child

If the goal is survival, she may claim she is searching or waiting for true love but in reality, she would be waiting and praying for any stable man who could rescue her from poverty to come and rescue her from her woes.

The same does not apply to a rich lady. Basic needs have been taken care of, and she can then think of children.

To each her own!

Yesterday, I called the royal princess, and she said, despite her arguments, she had found herself a man and would be getting married today.

That is another thing about royalty, they know how to do what needs to be done without sentiment

The conversation was not about, "Can he take care of you? What does he do? Is the business or job stable? How soon can he save up some money before coming to ask your parents for your hand in marriage...

The question was, how soon are we planning to get pregnant, and what are the options in case of a delay in conception?

If you are royalty, you must learn to behave like one. Privilege comes with its own responsibilities

In the olden days, nobility and the commoners were aware of this line of demarcation, but nowadays, many of the nobles are acting like commoners when it comes to the issue of love and procreation.

Procreation will always come first for royalty, as it should be.  The commoner is the one we all beg not to have children before securing the bag, because such children become a liability to society in future.

PS: The question is, are you royalty or a commoner?

Your circumstances will clearly give you the answer, and this should help you make the right decision today about what you need to do according to your status.

It is unfitting for slaves to ride on horses while princes go on foot like slaves. Always remember this.
