This a true life story but it is not me...

I woke up one morning to discover the strange truth about my wife that she has been having an affair with a young man who came to the church I pastored. Whom I prayed for, to be delivered from the power of Satan. But here I stand amazed at the ugly reality that he has swept my wife away in adultery.

 

As a Pastor, who fear God I didn't allow anger and bitterness to rattle my mind. In the spirit of love, trying to save my home. I ask her about what I discovered. I was afraid of what was coming even before I asked her. She shouted at me in anger, and hatred. It looks as if all hell has broken loose. I stepped back to avoid her out bust of anger.

 

My thought was what will happen to the church? We have been married with no issue. I long to have my own child. I am not getting any younger neither is she. We both slept in separate room. The next morning I was surprised at what befell me. She moved her thing out of the house. This was a strange behaviour. She is a Prophetess. And the leader of the women arm of the church. I held my tears back but held on to her hands. Pleading and calling on her to let us settle what may be our difference. 

 

Have there been any unsettle issue between us? No. She also say no. And for 10 months she has walk out on me. The congregation of 500 membership crashed. Many moved out of the church. Fellow minister use me as an example from the pulpit. Beloved one left me to dance the dance of sorrow alone. I suddenly loose weight. Where is God?

 

She moved in with the young man. And one day the young came to the church and robbed the church. All the sound instrument were gone. I am back to square one. I could not pay for the church hall. We had to move to house fellowship. I have been praying for my wife to come back home.

 

I have only meet her 5 times since she left our home. Presently, the young man kick her out thinking she was pregnant. But I am on fasting and prayers. What should I do? Is this true love? She told people that I am her ex-husband while we are not yet divorce. How could this be happening to me. All effort to get her back, has appear abortive. Should I surrender? And let her go?

 

Whenever we are at ear spot. She curse and call me all manner of names. She is bent on having her way yet I love her. I want my home back. I want my wife back. I sat back and ask God where are you? My ministry is in shambles. Should I let go? Advice me

It sad that the people in the church left without understanding what was happening in that marriage.  Sounds like he was not an abusive man, and he wasn't cheating on her. He loved her and was taking care of her as GOD commanded. She allowed the enemy to take over her mind and she acted accordingly. I believe this preacher loves this woman, but he can not look at the condition of the church and relate it to the wife leaving.  Yes, she left him and people left the ministry but he needs to pray to God about the next move of GOD in the ministry.  I can't really comment on the pastor's marriage because only God know the answer to that situation.  The pastor can continue to petition God to restore his marriage but not to take too much time focusing on it because if he does then his loosses focus on the ministry and where God wants to take it.  That what the enemy wants him to focus on his personal condition instead of the spiritual condition of the Body of Christ.  I pray that God's will is manifested in the Man of God's life.  I also pray that God saves his wife.  May healing flow in their lives and the lives of the people in the ministry.

The ministry needs to be restored even if God doesn't restore the marriage.  The members of  the church should have prayed for God's guidance for their lives in the ministry and they should have covered the Man of God in prayer, that's what the real Love of God would have done. 

But seek first all His kingdom and His rightousness, and then all these things/taken together will be given you besides, Matthew 6:33 (AMP)  If you truly love your wife and you want her back, seek the kingdom of God and listen to His voice.  Think of the story in the book of Hosea.  The Lord told him to take a harlot as his wife and we know the rest of the story.  Can we say if this is true love?  Hosea still love his wife ever though she was in sin.  The Lord has the final word because He has His Hand in it and seek His way.
