A Successful Nigerian couple invited a Nigerian Priest of their Parish for dinner in their home in California, United States of America.
After the Rev. Fr. left, the couple realized their cheque had disappeared. The man said to his wife, _"I think the Rev. Fr. has stolen the $25,000.00 open bank cheque that I kept here on the table of which I had the intention to give it to him"_.
Angrily his wife exclaimed, _"Hmm! All of them are just the same. If they are not fake, they are thieves. There is no need to invite him again, we shall from henceforth be attending another Church"_.
Two months later, the woman met the Rev. Fr. on a certain street and was courageous enough to face him and said: “Good morning Rev. Fr., you have surely realised that we no longer attend Church. This is because we're angry with you. The day you ate in our house, there was a $25,000.00 open bank cheque on the table but unfortunately, it disappeared while we were eating. You were the only person who visited our house at that time”.
The Rev. Fr. said to her, “Yes, I took the cheque. I put it in your Bible to avoid spilling the sauce on it”.
The woman got so confused and asked the Rev. Fr. to forgive her.
Back in her house, she took up the Bible and found the bank cheque which had been there for two months.
This means that:-
👉 For two months, she had not opened her bible.
👉 For two months, she and her husband falsely accused the innocent Rev. Fr.
👉 For two months, the incident had tortured them unnecessarily.
🩸 How many times do we suspect and accuse other people without reasonable proof, evidence or testimony?
🩸 How many times do you wrongly give someone a bad name?
🩸 How many times do you misinterpret the actions of a brother or sister that means well for you?
*Lesson*
If you think your brother has offended you,
💄 Tell him....
💄 Ask him...
💄 Iron it out....
