A MAN MARRIED A WOMAN
Thanks be unto the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for giving us Pastor Chris! We have found in him, a teacher sent from God. The title of the message is GOD'S LAST WORD ON YOUR FINANCES Part 6. If you already know Pastor Chris, then you know he teaches from his spirit in the direction phronesis moves him, irrespective of what he titles the message. For example, if you want to understand sound financial intelligence and save yourself many future money troubles, listen to THE MASTER SOULWINNER. Okay, alright now, so let's look at what Pastor talked about love and relationship in this financial teaching.
He tells a very touching and instructive story here. Before he tells the story he says,"Love not only gives, it has the capacity to receive. You must reciprocate love, otherwise you quench love." Then he says also,"When you wound love, you quench love." Hear the story: "A man married a woman and ill-treated her. Everyday as he went to work he'd write a list of things for her to do: 'Before I come back, make sure make sure the kitchen is cleaned, the bed is dressed, the table is set...' He would write everything and then on his return he would ask for the list and then go through it with her to be sure she'd done everything.
"She was so terrified as she lived with her husband. She had to do it because she'd be in trouble he she didn't. Until one day, the man died. "Years after, she married another man who loved her and the house she used to live in with her late husband had become hers. So the new man moved in. "After a long while of living with this man who was so loving and kind, one day as she up cleaned the house, she got close to something she felt in the chair. She wanted to check out what it was and tried to pull it out; it was a litte piece of paper.
"As she pulled it out and opened it, she found out it was one of those lists the late husband used to leave for her. As she read it through she began to cry. She remembered her late husband and the fear in which she lived all those years. And she thought for a moment: everything in that list, she been doing for this new husband and the husband never asked for it. She looked at her life: she had to do it by force for another and for this one, she did it for love...
"Look at this woman: she had love in her and would do anything if she were loved. She'd do anything because of love, but the former husband pulled something else out of her. Love was quenched. He never did get her love. And this other one got her love." .................... Did that touch you? Have you learnt something?
