Wise Counsel

Hello beautiful people!

I pray all is well with you and your families. It’s been a while since I’ve shared something that is near and dear to my heart because the LORD WAS DOING HEART SURGERY ON ME SPIRITUALLY.

Last night my dad called to check on me and I was sleeping when he called. However, I was excited to hear from him because I needed his advice on something. But I decided not to bug him with the issue. I am grateful he called because I was able to tell him the decision I had made and it was the right one. Praise the Lord.

Then my dad asked me about church. He asked me was I still going to church.

Now, I am sure you all have realized I’d rather tell the truth to people and be disliked for telling the truth; rather than being disliked for being a liar. So, I my dad no I had not been a member of any church since one year ago. My dad asked me why? I told him the whole truth. I was put out of the church for something I posted on Facebook that had nothing to do with the church, but was told I need to talk to an elder to return to that church and I refused. It was a post about gays and lesbians being on the praise team in churches.

I also told my dad how I was constantly attacked from the pulpit by the Pastor’s wife because of information a Minister gave her when I attended the school for ministry at that church and excelled and went to another Christian College. My dad could not understand what the problem was just as I could not understand the problem. I let my dad know I has no relationship with the Pastor so it did not make sense to me.

I also told my dad, after I finally returned to the church after meeting with two ministers who did not know what was going on. I started being picked on by the minister who had a issue with my aunt and her daughter over the ministers brother which I had never meet. I did not know about any of it until I was in the classes at church and the minister was my teacher and the minister told me. Which is crazy in itself. I was picked on every time I was singing and praising the Lord. Then a woman from the intercessors team kept messing with me every time I would sing and worship God from the altar. My dad told me that doesn’t make sense. I agreed. And I let him know every time I went to church I was at war and could not focus on the reason for me being there which was God. Not the Pastor nor his wife.

I told my dad my pastor was African and he asked what part of Africa. He asked was the wife African? I told him no. He asked was she African American. And I told him yes.

I let my dad know they took over the church after their Pastor died and they obviously was not ready and too immature because how they run the church is not right and many people have left. But I got put out and when I came back I was constantly picked on and the Pastor knew about it so that says a lot about him and his maturity level. His wife who seemed to have an issue with me never met with me so I don’t know what the real issue is. They are both immature and need help.

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1 KJV

Moral of the story my dad did not find me at fault. So, what was the problem with the Pastor and his wife? Only God knows however, my dad did not tell me to return just like God did not tell me to return. So, I am at peace.

Although, I did not want to tell my dad what happened. Once he asked me I had no choice. I have apologized and humbled myself. I am done and it is finished.
