Does it really matter who puts the food on the table?

A friend of mine Ebi Akpeti; Author of the “The Perfect Church” sent this to me. It is a true life experience and worth the share…happy reading and hope we all learn a great lesson from this…

A guy who had no job got married to a banker, despite his fears & advice that it's not good to marry without a job. Every month the girl will give the guy her full salary N135k after removing her N15k tithe. The guy will give the wife N20k for personal up keep & the guy determines what happens to the remaining money, this wnet on for 3 years. There was happiness in the family & the girl never refused to do her primary home duties for those 3 years despite wrong advices from friends “ That you can't pay the bills & still be doing all the work”…..

There was a particular month the guy used about N70k to travel from state to state for different interviews. The guy finally got a job with a good firm in Port Harcourt.  His salary was N600k monthly for a start. He bought his first car (brand new) for N4.5m, he gave the wife the car key while he continued to take public transport to work for about 2years before he bought the second car for N6 million. After he bought the second car he took the keys of the 1st car & gave the wife the key of the second car. They were very happy. They finally moved into their personal house after a few years.

One day, the wife was looking for some documents; she saw a file hidden. When she opened the file she saw her wedding picture when she was very slim in the first page of the file. She finally saw that the document to the purchase of the land & every other thing in the house were in her name only. At the last page was the guy's wedding picture and a note written by the husband, '' MY WIFE IS ALL I HAVE GOT,NOT EVEN THIS HOUSE WORTH N24MILLION AS AT THE TIME I BUILT IT''.

 This couple got married in 1998. Last Sunday was their wedding anniversary with two children a boy & a girl. True LOVE still exists up till this day. Are you sure, the love you have for your spouse can be compared to this one you just read? No matter what, remember you chose each other, please share...it doesn't matter who puts the food on the table…Selah.

A world of Choice!

All of life is a product of choice; the only point in time you really do not have a choice is at the point of conception and birth. God gives the gift of life to the baby; it is not the choice of the baby to be born. When the years of discretion set in, choice takes over.

You choose to eat, sleep, walk, run, marry, give, hold back, talk, and shut up. All are products of choices. Your ability to make the right choices determine how far you go in life. Your choice has the capacity to birth or take life. Little wonder the scripture says, “I have given you life and death, blessing and cursing, but choose life that you and your family will live”… this is simply what I call the commandment of choice. It’s between two options; a plus or a minus.

How we often so miss great opportunities by virtue of wrong choices, the greater disservice we do to ourselves lie in not making a choice at all.

While reading a book "Choices" by my friend Femi Olabanji, I found out that one of the key bed rocks of life and our existence all lies in the concept of choice. “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only begotten son…” this was a product of choice…and Abraham without questioning God lay his one and only son on the alter to be sacrificed…choice; David saw Bathsheba and desired to have her….choice.

We can go on and on; the scriptures we read, were inspired by the spirit of God through men who chose to obey and heed God’s word by putting them down in writing…choice.

Our world is simply a world of choices!
