Ladies, Would You Snatch Another Woman’s Husband Because You Are Lonely? | My Friend Says HELL YEAH

black women

So I have a friend who has a friend, who has a cousin who has a best friend who usually comes by our house to just hang with the girls on the porch and pour drinks over a lot of chat topics.

I will call this lady Bianca for the purpose of my article.

Yesterday was another lovely evening and we were in the corner of the yard guzzling away our boredom on bottles and bottles of wine and chatting the evening away. Then Bianca shows up with her four year old daughter-Drew.

So Bianca joins our table made up of Janice, Pamela, Shirley, Bernice and me!

Drew plays away in the hall while we chat, Bernice asks Bianca about Drew’s dad and Bianca immediately slams. “the oaf will not even send me and Drew a dime for upkeep, and when Drew got sick the other day, I had to stay awake two nights straight in the hospital all by myself and you know the excuse he cooked up when I called him to bring us some supplies? He had the nerve to tell me he was at a family meeting and could not leave! The hell, like Drew and I aren’t family huh?”

Yea Bianca was mad. But that is to be expected from having a child with a man who already has a family right? You will never be his first family or priority.

This is the part Bianca never mentions when she slams her baby daddy, the fact that he is a married man and she knew he was married even before he got her pregnant.

Now to more the real purpose of this article; we were still doing drinks and on the issue of how single most of us are even though we are somewhat seeing somebody but each persons relationship seems to have its own special issues.

Bianca is the most single one of us because she cannot juggle work, her kid and nurturing a real relationship and according to her, the most painful part is that no single men seem to want a relationship with her. So now she tells us “Ladies, I am actually thinking of giving some married man who has been chasing me a chance”

The Sick Christian And ‘Healing’

Prayer

You see very clearly that a friend or colleague is very ill and they’re confessing they’re well because they’re exercising their faith and ‘calling the things that are not there as if they were’.

There are some Christians who believe that seeking medical attention is demonstrating a lack of faith in God. How can a full grown woman be suffering from severe abdominal pains and still insist she is well only to be diagnosed of having a fibroid. Why didn’t she seek medical help? Because ‘her pastor says she should not buy the idea of being sick and denounce it in Jesus name’ – whilst the hospital is just down the road.  What is so wrong with admitting the fact that we’re ill and need attention as Christians?

There is a proverb that literally translates that ‘you get help when you sell your sickness’ Even in the bible, Jesus healed the sick because they admitted their disease to him. If the blind man or the lame man had not admitted they had a disease, they wouldn’t have been healed because there is/was nothing to heal.

Some even rely on some of these Christian channels, phone in and request for prayer for very life threatening issues. Nothing wrong with that, but won’t it make a lot of sense if after the prayer you check yourself into the hospital to confirm your ‘miracle’ or your instant healing? Miracles happen yes, but it’s really better to be safe than sorry.

That is how some of us Christians fool ourselves today.  Since we are sick, confessing that we are well /healed is not going to heal us.  God says in Jeremiah: “You can’t heal a wound by saying it’s not there!” (Jeremiah 6:14).  We ‘chew and pour’ the verse of “….by his stripes we have been healed” forgetting that the verse is not talking about our physical well-being.

Imagine you walked into a hospital, only to find all the patients singing at the top of their lungs: “God’s report says we are healed.”  After that, some took their last gasps and died.  Others remained in hospital as sick as ever. Whilst the doctors just stand and watch on – would you not have concluded you were in a psychiatric ward? Pastors should take care of the spiritual not the physical.
