to the lady, she just started laughing. For more than 5 mins, she kept on
laughing at this pastor. The pastor told me how he started checking himself up
and down to be sure he did not poo on his body.
She
laughed at him mockingly and she just left him there and she walked away.
The
pastor told us that, after he became a pastor and went back to that church to
serve, the father of that lady was one of the people that gave him so much honor. Her father will call this pastor , "Ete nyin ke Obong' , meaning,
our father in the Lord.
Now,
hear the concluding part of his story, he said, before that sister could marry,
several prayers were made for her. Prayer warriors prayed! Church members
prayed! Her case became a concern to everyone around her. She was so old in age
before she could Sha manage to marry.
Don't misunderstand this post, I am not saying her marital delay was caused because she despised that pastor by laughing him to scorn. I am also not ruling out the possibility of that reality too. It might be that, she became a laughing stock Martially because she laughed at that brother mockingly.
Dear
single ladies, let me say this to you. It is a privilege that a guy can come
and propose to you. Whether he meets your standard or not. Whether he is fine
or ugly. Whether he is educated or illiterate. It is an honor and privilege
that men can approach you for marriage. There are many of your mates who are
naked and roaming the streets as mad ladies despite their beauty and brain.
Even if
you will not accept the marriage proposal of a guy, please, never laugh at him.
Either openly or in your heart, never laugh at any guy mockingly lest you
become a laughing stock Martially. Every marriage proposal you want to turn
down should be turned down without crushing the ego and the esteem of that
brother.
Many
ladies are so proud of themselves in this generation! You look and treat guys
as if they are trash just because they come to propose to you. You are using
them to play game. You make jest of their weaknesses and downplay their
strengths. Watch it lady! You are trending a dangerous road! If you continue
like that, you will get to a point of delay in marital bus stop where you will
be saying , 'Lord, just give me anybody"
Every
child of God that comes to propose to you should be treated as a kingdom
celebrity. There is a way you will say 'No' to a proposal and you will not kill
or crush the Spirit of that brother.
This is
my fatherly warning to all single ladies, please, don't laugh at any guy that
comes to you lest people laugh at you when you are left behind Martially.
Let me
beg those of you brothers who have been maltreated , mocked , insulted and
laughed at by ladies just because you proposed love to them, please, forgive
them and pray for them because they don't know what they were doing. Let your
heart heal up and pray for them.
