SHE CRIED, “NO, I CAN’T MARRY A PASTOR!”
Basic scripture: 1Kings 17: 7- 16
I got the mail/story from a sister and it is greatly appreciated! I have re-written it but it is about the story of a pastor’s daughter and her outburst: See also Our Daily Manna Devotional 10th March 2018
Our Daily Manna Devotional 10th March 2018
“Yesterday was Sunday. I was in church and everyone looked glorious. And the service was just heavenly; the pastor was delivering the message with so much passion. His words were hitting me strongly where I sat. Suddenly, I felt pressed to use the toilet. I immediately dashed into the toilet to empty my bowels. But just as I was about to dress up and return back to the auditorium, I started hearing sobs. ODM Today
I could hear somebody crying quietly. I followed the sound and guess who I me- my pastor’s beautiful 6 year old daughter crying and her eldest sister, 9 years , trying to calm her down. I tried to find out what was wrong even though it took a long time before they voiced out. They were hungry! She said “Aunty when I grow up, I will never marry a pastor; so that I will never be hungry, but my friend’s daddy is not a pastor and they never go hungry. Even mummy is hungry, we didn’t eat yesterday.” ODM Everyday from January to March 2018
I couldn’t tell how tears flowed down my face, and God’s word hit me like an arrow in my heart (1 cor.9:11) – “We have sown spiritual seeds among you, is it too much if we reap material gifts from you?” The KJV put it this way “If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we reap carnal things?” Pathetic! One of the hidden things of unlocking God’s favour is sowing into the life of any man or woman He has called.

Sometimes, it is not because they are poor or in rags but BECAUSE YOU NEED THE GRACE THAT IS UPON THEM! Don’t give to a pastor out of pity, give out of duty and love! I, Dr. Chris, wouldn’t have been bold enough to ask a widow to give me her last meal but Elijah did as he was directed (today’s scripture vs. 13). Encourage and sow into the life of a pastor or minister this week! Stop seeing only your pastors’/ministers’ weaknesses! Our Daily Manna by Bishop Chris Prayer Points 2018
Remember that Moses missed the Promised Land because the people never encouraged him: they complained bitterly against him! Do you know that many ministers are trying to give up secretly?
