As hard as it sounds, our God remains merciful and faithful.
Job once said “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him”…that’s how trustworthy God is.
That was a man that had no reason whatsoever to see God as merciful, kind or fair saying “Let him put a knife on my neck, I trust Him…I trust His judgement, I trust His decisions and I know he is doing the right thing’”
Those words were like water poured over my burning soul…as hard as it was to swallow them, I knew the words were true and that was what broke me.
I ended up on the floor; Pastor T’s wife sat with me and comforted me while he continued to pray.
From what they said it was obvious Folahan had called to inform them that I bolted from their house without any explanation and attempts to get a hold of me had been futile. He had called my mum to see if I went there but from their conversation, he could tell I wasn’t. He was ready to come to Abuja but needed to be sure I was there and that’s why Pastor and his wife came looking for me. They had called severally but nobody could reach me.
All the text messages sent were not delivered either
I then told them what happened…everything.
“How am I supposed to marry someone whose father I once dated and almost had a baby for?
How could God tell Folahan that I’m his wife when He knew there was a twisted connection somewhere?”
Nobody could answer the question.
I asked again then Pastor T said
“”My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.
For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts”
I have been a Pastor for almost two decades now and I have seen a lot of things. I have seen God humble me, leaving me dumbfounded, time and time again…so I have learnt to simply trust and obey Him.
I may not have an answer but I know that God knows what He is doing.
I am sorry for using this example because I am not trying to make a comparison here…but God once told a Prophet…Prophet Hosea, to marry a known prostitute. How was that even reasonable?
Another one, who would have thought that Rahab would be in the lineage of Jesus? God knows best because He sees beyond today and thus puts things in motion that may not make sense to us because of how far we are limited to see.
Whichever way this goes, you owe it to bro Folahan to let him know what’s happening. I don’t think he knows yet…otherwise he would have mentioned it. I don’t think his dad should be the one to break it to him”
Pastor T’s wife suggested that we called Folahan but I wasn’t going to discuss this over the phone.
