Beoguard had to out of her busy schedules allow this interview. Please read, digest and learn.
Can we meet you?
I am Oluwaseun Fadare. A practicing nurse working with a specialist hospital in Ibadan. I am also a health coach with The Nucova company and I run a non-profit organization with my husband. I enjoy interacting with people. I see relationships as an opportunity to create a positive impact. I believe smiling is therapeutic. This has earned me a special place in the heart of my patients. I have passion for youths, married and teenagers. I am a strong believer of purpose fulfillment. I live in ibadan and I am married to ademayowa Fadare and we are blessed with a son Rereloluwa.
What is your everyday like?
My day begins with thanksgiving on my lips to God. After which I make breakfast for my family and prepare for work whether morning, afternoon or night shifts. I get back. Gist with my husband, talk about my day, share insights and rub minds on ideas. Return messages of close friends and mentees. Prepare dinner. Do family devotion and go to bed.
How long have you been born again? Well, It’s been 8 years now, since I realized that not confessing the Lord is equal to a life of frustration, misery and eternal damnation.
What would you say purpose is? Fulfillment of God’s ordained assignment. Discovering the reason for your existence in life, career, marriage and ministry.
I know you’re a nurse by profession, what is like being a nurse? What influenced the profession? Doing something to take away pain and distress. It involves giving care in every possible way till the person gets better or in the event of death, helping them get the maximum care and comfort. I have always been someone who loves to see sick people get better and restored. This fueled my passion for lives.
You wrote a book, can you please tell us what it is about? The title of the book is “without a kiss”. This book seeks to address the beauty of sexual purity and it further explores romance in christian courtship without blemish. It is a must read for anyone planning to go into relationship or currently in a God willing relationship.
What is mentorship? And what does the youth of today need to know about mentoring? Seeing ahead through the eyes of others who are ahead. It is basically, a mutual relationship between two individuals where one is a place of authority.
We are in a world where the standards are dropping daily and the need for mentoring has risen. If today’s youth are to amount to anything in life or even attempt to do close to what those before us have done, they must learn to follow. Life is governed by principles and these principles are in the hands and lives of people who have mastered and made them work, in following such people we realise that it is not everything that is taught in books, some things are caught by honouring, observing and learning in close proximity from the lives of those that hold these secrets.
What was the most fulfilling moment of your life? My wedding day.
How would one know the will of God concerning marriage? This is hitched only in God. One must trust him to lead and direct before making any marital decision. Also, know yourself. Find your place in God then it would be easy to find the place of others in it.
If you don’t know what God has created and called you for, how would you know the right person to run your race with you?
Who are your mentors?
I have different mentors in different areas of my life and over the years in different phases of life that I have found myself in, I have been privileged to pass through different authorities.
My husband mentors me but we both submit to Rev and Mrs Victor Odunjo who are our spiritual oversight.
In the area of career, it is Mr Stephen Onoviran (RN)
You got married recently, what would you like people who are scared of marriage to know?
Marriage is not just a place of excitement alone but a place where hardwork and commitment must reign supreme. God who instituted marriage has made it a blessing. You can only explore the wonders in it through his only help.
What you get in marriage is a harvest of the seeds you have sown in courtship and that means you must be deliberate to maximising that phase before signing the dotted lines.
If you can allow the Holy Spirit teach you wisdom during courtship, it will be easier to run your race in marriage.
How do you balance your work and family life?
It’s been God all way. It is said that by strength shall no man prevail. God is basically my strength. He helps me keep it together as a wife, mother, nurse, and ministry.
I have also learnt the importance of priorities knowing that I can’t afford to fail at any of these institutions. I ask my husband for help where necessary, read books to inform me and whenever I am stuck or confused, I reach out to my mentors who quench my thirst from their well of wisdom and wealth of experiences.
What/who motivates you?
Smiles, my husband. Just him . I bless God for him always. smiles
What is your advice to the youths.
Nothing is impossible without God. Living without him is life full of crisis. He owns time in his hands. We should learn to hold on to him.
It is good for a man to bear is yoke in the days of his youth. This is the time to thirst and hunger for God because when responsibilities begin to come, the price you pay now is what will begin to speak for you.
