Result of disobedience
I know pastors who were only dedicated church workers who the church leadership had been observing for years.
The pastor called other ministers, and they prayed and fasted for some days when it was time for them to plant another parish.
All the ministers and the pastor got only one name.
They met in church, and they all revealed the name the Holy Spirit had told them at the pastor's office.
During the service, the pastor casually called out this man and his wife, and he announced to the church that they would be heading the new parish to be planted.
The man worked at PZ as an engineer; the wife worked at Standard Organization of Nigeria.
They didn’t see it coming
After they were prayed for by the church, the pastor chose ten other workers from the church who would go with this man and his wife to plant the new parish.
The man and the wife were speechless
His factory was at Ikorodu
Her office was at Oshodi
New Parish was to be located at Ago Palace way
They have children at RHS
He couldn't make head or tail of it, and neither could the wife
They got home and his wife said No
She said she was not interested in being a pastor or a pastor's wife
The husband implored her to let them pray about it
They prayed for seven days
The Husband received a confirmation
The wife said she will not be a part of it
Husband went to church to report to the senior pastor
Senior pastor told him to embark on the assignment as instructed
The following Sunday, husband went to Ago Palace way to check out the church
By the time he returned home, his wife had packed her bags
She said she will not remain married to him if he insisted on becoming a pastor
She had her reasons
1) He was close to 50 and they had not built their own house
2) She earns more than him and didn't want to add the burden of a faraway church to her various tasks
3) In her opinion, the church will just drain them of their resources, and they cannot afford it
The husband begged
The church begged
The wife insisted he must drop the call
He agreed
The church also supported them
She returned home
Soon after, the husband developed a strange migraine headache
This illness led to the use of eyeglasses
Later, he began to feel lethargic all over
He got a message from an old friend who lives in Canada"
"You are walking in disobedience"
The wife got promoted at work and continued to thrive
One Sunday, he got in his car and drove to Ago Palace way to resume as pastor
When the wife heard, she left again
The husband didn’t go looking for her
Six weeks later, her mother died at Akwa Ibom
She went for the burial and had a serious car crash
She was the only one that was injured in one leg
Husband went to care for her at the hospital
She was there for a year
When she recovered a bit, she began to walk with crutches
She began to follow her husband to Ago Palace way
She attended service like every other member and didn't play any leadership role
The old friend in Canada called the husband from the blue and told him he had arrived in Nigeria
Husband went to see old friend and old friend gave him a house at AIG Imokhuede Street in Magodo Phase 2
Old friend said God told him to give husband a gift of obedience.
Husband worked as a pastor for six years as well as at PZ
The month PZ was to retire him; the church headquarters nominated him to be their missionary to Jordan.
He asked his wife if she would go with him
She said she would join him later after she retires
He left for Jordan
Wife worked for eighteen months and retired
She then joined him in Jordan.
This is an abridge story of a Pastor and his wife.
You have enough information to google them
The church is RCCG
Please note: It was the one who was called that suffered as a result of disobedience
The wife thrived
It is not a Siamese twin call
You and your spouse are not conjoined
If you work with him or her in love, you have done well
If you refuse to work with his or her vision, it is your decision
Just don’t stand in the way of anyone God has called
