A pastor friend of mine told me his experience when his wife gave birth to their third born & the baby turned out to be a boy. That's making 3 boys. He said as soon as the nurse announced the sex of the child to him that, he is a boy, he (my pastor friend) just gave a loud hiss. He said he decided not to do the scan to know the sex of the baby and he has been praying and telling some of his members that, he is so sure that, this baby will be a girl. Now, turning out to be another boy; making 3 boys really pained him and will make him look like someone whose faith did not work.
He said as soon as he hissed, the nurse who took the delivery is an elderly woman. She asked my friend why he hissed instead of dancing and jumping that his wife delivered a bouncing baby boy safely. My friend said he answered the woman that, that boy is the 3rd boy he is having and he is not expecting a boy but a girl. He said as soon as he said that, this woman (the nurse) broke down into tears and was crying.
Upon asking her why she was crying? She said she has been trusting God for the fruit of the womb for the past 15 years of her marriage and here is someone blessed with 3 boys hissing over the blessing he did not buy with 1 naira. My friend said, the words of that woman broke his heart and he saw his ungrateful attitude and foolishness. He asked God for mercy and forgiveness.
Are there no many of us , who instead of 'kissing' the blessings of God in our lives, we are hissing at those blessings of God!
You have 4 girls and you are fighting your spouse and hissing at those daughters God has given you when someone is even praying to have one still birth for people to even see her pregnant for once!
Because you eat rice ; morning, afternoon, night, you are complaining that God is unfair to you. Do you know billions of people who are hungry morning , afternoon, night?
There is nothing you have that someone is not envying or praying to have.
Stop hissing at the blessings of God in your life. What you despised is what someone desires.
Count your blessings, name them one by one! When you complain, you complicate things. While you are still praying and trusting God for a better level, better opportunity, better job, better house car, better life, better ,etc, thank Him for your present level and blessings. If you want it to be easy for you to access your next level of greatness , stop hissing at the blessings of God in your life. Stop hissing! Stop hissing! Please, stop hissing!
