WHEN YOUR PATIENCE RUNS OUT AND YOU STILL GOT TIME

He had known her since they were children, they attended the same secondary school, they were the same age but he was 3 weeks older, they grew up in the same neighbourhood and they separated when they grew up. After several years they came across each other in a church in the neighbourhood where they grew, he was the assistant to coordinator in that church and she was a new convert who was convicted by the Holy Spirit and brought back to grace. She was not so strong in faith but he was and he became her strength, he groomed her in faith until she became strong but not very strong like him.

She had enjoyed life before returning to her childhood neighbourhood church, moving from one man to another, buying the kind of things she needed and living big. She came to know God more in this church and became a changed person but after one year eight months she slipped back to the world because of challenges. She did more despicable things than before she became a Christian, and when he realized that she has fallen out of faith he picked her up and restored her to faith.

Along the line he received a witness that she was his wife, he subjected the feelings to prayers and counseling’s from his mentors and they all saw God’s leading. Then he started a relationship with her and was passionate of building her up to the level of been a pastor's wife. He told his pastor (coordinator of the church) about their relationship but there was so much envy and hatred against her even from the church because of the kind of life she had lived and because they felt she did not deserve him. They kept on gossiping and slandering their relationship before their coordinator until the coordinator became confused.

One year into their relationship he proposed to her and she accepted and they became engaged. He met the coordinator and told her he would love to marry her, she (coordinator) welcomed the idea and was really happy. He was waiting for the other processes to kick off that will proceed to the marriage, only for him to be told by the coordinator that he will be going on a fast to a distant branch for a while in prayers for the marriage, saying that the devil wants to fight him through his marriage. He thought it was few days’ prayers and a short visit, but they kept him there for more than one whole year against his will refusing him to return.

Her patience ran out as thoughts of backsliding and anger over the coordinator sets in. She had gone through a lot of pains, heard so much gossip from brethren in church, been put under pressure of marring another, and she was in a lot of financial pressures and men were only willing to offer her help if she could sleep with them; she was so all alone and could not deal with it because the one who strengthens her has been taken far away from her.

But she was stubborn and sometimes doesn’t take the advice he gives her. She acts desperate sometimes like one whose time is ticking away and he tried to calm her down because she is still very young and beautiful and have nothing to be afraid of. He had given her his word but she could not trust him enough because she was afraid they would not let her marry him, so she kept her alternatives alive.

Within that year all her friends who she thought she would get married before them all got married remaining only one. She mounted pressure on him and because he did not what to rebel even though they were holding him unjustly, he told her to be patient. She went on to see a prophetess who added to her confusion and she landed it on him; and not able to handle her confusion he told her not to communicate him again for the now so that he could flow in his pastoral duties over there.

At the beginning of the New Year the last of her remaining friend got engaged and she lost it on him through a text via facebook messenger. She told him to forget about her that she has a new boy friend all the while they had not been communicating although they just broke up but she still loves him, she had been sleeping with different men and she knows she has failed God but she is not interested in the marriage any more. She said all her friends are married and he has failed in his promise to marry her, she said she was no longer interested in marring a believer like him, she was going to marry an unbeliever and go back to her formal life.

He replied back to her reassuring her that if only she can trust him and believe that he is coming to marry her, he doesn't care if she slept with other men, he was willing to forgive her because the devil was after her soul through all these trials, but she was fed up and she broke up the engagement. He had no choice but to let her go, he kept crying not because he could not marry her but because the devil had won a child of God over because of the attitude of her brethren and pastor in church.

Her patience ran out although she still had enough time to stand by him because she was just 31; she left him all alone and doubled his emotional pain with a heart break. He knew this war would come, that the devil will contend for the faith which was given to her and had told her about it but he was afraid if she would be able to stand the test of time, but she promised she would, and when the war got tough she left him all alone in the battle.

25 FACTS ABOUT OBAMA

By   KelseyWarner   on March 4, 2016 Inside Gov As the final remaining year of the Obama administration is well underway, the legacy that President   Barack Obama   will forge in history remains hotly contested.   Conservatives argue   Obama is the “worst president ever” while   liberals have claimed   he has “done more good for this country than any president before him.” He likely will not play the role of a “lame-duck” president, as the administration has yet to slow down. Obama currently finds himself in the middle of a   heated standoff   with the Republican-led Senate to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. He still pursues a workable   plan to close GuantanamoBay , one of his 2008 campaign promises. As his term nears its end, the passionate, vocal opinions on both sides of the political aisle may reach their crescendo as his legacy becomes ripe for interpretation. When reflecting on Obama’s time in the White House, the f...

BREXIT

An interview with Rev Victor Atokolo SO WHAT IS BREXIT? BREXIT, the term was coined during the movement towards referendum, the last referendum in England were the votes decided that Britain should exit the European Union. So the term actually means “Britain Exit”, they just coined it, came up from those who wanted Britain to exit the European Union. DOES BREXIT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ENDTIME? A lot to do, now we have seen the movement towards the one world government, consequently the one world religion and the full revelation of the antichrist, but we understand that that fullness cannot manifest until the church is taken away at the rapture, but the speed the quickens it in moving is that if the European Union remains intact, Turkey joins them as they are proposing and then the present move of the Democrats in America succeeds, we’re likely to have one world government in a short time and that would have intensified the persecution of Christians and Jews and...
