A former l3sbian, Promise Israel has recounted how a pastor’s wife refused to allow her to sing in the church choir which led her to retrace her steps.
Promise, who disclosed this in a Facebook post on Sunday, said the incident offended the ‘g@y spirit inside her’ and she left the church.
However, looking back, she came to realise that the pastor’s wife saved her life by refusing her request otherwise she wouldn’t have left the l3sbian lifestyle.
“I remember a few years ago I joined a church & I opened up to the pastor and his wife about being in a homos3xual relationship ok boom I continued to go to the church and I wanted to start singing in the choir and then the pastor wife told me I needed to get myself together before doing that,” she wrote.
“She completely offended me (well the g@y spirit inside of me) and I left the church! I actually stayed in the l3sbian lifestyle a little longer because I was angry.
“Now this might sound crazy but since I’ve grown spiritually I’ve realized that when the pastor’s wife told me “No I could not sing in the choir because I needed to get myself together”
She actually saved my life if I had gotten a chance to do anything like that in the church while being a homos3xual I never would’ve left that lifestyle.
“I would’ve been able to have my cake and eat it 2.
“The moral of the story Is sometimes saying NO is really the solution to the Problem.
“Problem -Being G@y
Solution – Saying No regarding things I wanted to do while still being in that lifestyle.
“Listen stop allowing people to do things out of order. Have a boundary when it comes to Christ and that’s not JUDGEMENT that is TRUTH. I WAS PROVOKED TO CHANGE. Now I’m free, & I m growing with Jesus Christ everyday!.”
