When I tell people that the Holy Spirit is a being, a person with His own unique personality like God The Father and God The Son I know what I'm saying. Permit me to share a little story to illustrate.
My husband Pst John Anietoh and I will be nine years in marriage this year and today in the place of prayer π today I experienced a profound conversation between me and my main lover The Holy Spirit as I reminisced about my marriage that I believe is what sharing for someone to glean from.
In the early years of my marriage we battled with personality differences. Our personalities were a perfect match between us till the day we said "I do" ππ€£π€£. Gist reaching me later even has it that we had a little gbas gbos during our wedding reception but honestly daughter of Zion doesn't have even the foggiest idea of such anymore π€·.
The reason is not far fetched anyway. I'm predominantly a choleric introvert while my love brother Pst. John Anietoh as you must have rightly guessed is the direct opposite of my personality traits. So we signed up for a bumpy jolly ride when we got married π΄π«.
Most times the d£vil doesn't have time for those who are dating... the moment he hears "Yes I do", he will carry his bags and relocate to your doorpost π.
I'm not the type of person that goes about telling everyone what is going on in my life, I'm a fixer by nature and I've always tried my best to fix things on my own but at some point, it became overwhelming π
I remember vividly one fateful day that we had disagreement and argument, I needed someone to talk to urgently π.
I walked into the Chapel that day and started a ranting conversation with my Senior LOVE ... The Holy Spirit π
It was actually the first time I brought up marriage as a point for discussion with the Holy Spirit during prayers, I used to pray about my marriage but I never engaged him in a conversation concerning it π€·. I erroneously thought He (The Holy Spirit) was too busy to hear such details. But alas I was so wrong π.
I told Him about our personality differences and the disagreementsπ€·
I narrated what happened to Him exactly the way it happened and told Him what was on my mindπ.
I spoke to Him as if I was speaking to a visible friend and after I finished ranting to my satisfaction, I asked Him to advise me on what to do π.
And to my surprise, almost immediately He (The Holy Spirit) said, "God home and pretend like nothing happened, carry out all your duties as a wife, I will fix everything"
I said, "Do you mean I should just pretend like everything is alright?"
He said, "Yes", just go home and be quiet.
Omor I shock no be small π§π°π¨
I obeyed that instruction (with so much protest within me of course) and everything came back to normal within a very short time unlike before that anger wouldn't not let me behave like a matured adult how much more a wife π₯΄π
The next time we had an argument, I went straight to Him immediately and narrated everything that happened to Him and just like before He gave me the same answer like before π€·π€
The third time, I went to him and He still said the same thing π€·. "Go back home, keep quiet, pretend like nothing happened and continue with your duties".
From that day I stopped complaining π€·
I started ignoring what makes me angry and trusting him to fix it... It wasn't long before I got used to it and my joy was restored π€·.
That was when I realized that the personality difference wasn't the cause of my unhappiness, it was rather the way I interprete and react to it that made me unhappy π€·
One day he taught me a lesson that changed everything π€·
He said...
"You're different from your husband in so many ways. If both of you are to look at a particular colour, if he sees black, you will see white because you're his oppositeπ
He will see black because that's what he's designed to see, you will see white because that's what you're designed to see, you can't see more than white π
In actual sense, both of you are right, the colour is black and at the same time white π€·
If you are wise, you will know that he's the eye and mind you can never have π€
If you combine what you see and what he sees together, you will get the perfect picture of the whole colour and you will make a wiser decisionπ
Take every word he speaks and add it to your own and you will be ten times wiser π
This singular lesson HE taught me changed everything till tomorrow π.
My husband even confessed that he is always admonished by The Holy Spirit in his own quiet place of prayer whenever we have a disagreement because he finds it difficult to connect to Him as easily as he usually does whenever we are acting drama between usπ€£π... So Oga is always quick to have us settle our differences so that his spiritual antenna can always remain sharp at all times
I tell you that of a truth, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE SUREST PLUG TO A BLISSFUL UNIONππ©❤️π¨
HAVE A HEART TO HEART TALK WITH HIM TODAY π
