My dad was seriously sick and I needed help from my wife. I asked for money. She told me she didn’t have it. Later I asked for a loan. She told me the same thing. All I needed was GHC1,500. I didn’t know when I was going to pay but I was very sure when I was stable enough I would pay. My wife didn’t have the money so I ended up collecting a loan from the office that I have to pay with interest.

We had a revival in church. This powerful man of God was brought in as the main speaker. On the final day, he asked us to come to church with our seed so he would fast and pray for our needs to be met by God. You’d put the money in an envelope and write your prayer request on a paper and put them in the envelope. I had nothing to give so I didn’t partake.
I saw my wife buy an envelope and saw her busily writing something to put in the envelope. I was curious to know what she had written so when she placed the envelope in her bag, I picked it up when she was in the bathroom. The envelope contained two hundred cedi notes that amounted to GHC3,000, twice the amount I begged for just a few days ago.
I didn’t even read the prayer request. When she returned I asked her, “So you have this much but can’t give me half of it as a loan?” She answered, “We don’t give God’s money to humans. How will He answer our prayers if we do?”
Truly-truly, she gave the money away as seed while I sat and watched the pastor put his hands on her and prayed for her desires to be fulfilled by God. I’ve never seen her the same again since that incident. I don’t even know if I still love her. This is a young marriage, a year and a half old but the way I see it, it’s going to be a long journey for us.
How The Death Of Our Son Nearly Brought Our Marriage To An End
I’ve learned to put myself first in everything and also tell her to ask God for solutions when she comes to me for help since I’m not the one she gives her money to. I’ve heard about women and their money but I never thought it’s this wild. Eiii!

I believe your wife’s prayers point was about a child. I didn’t see it, but I believe it was. And when it comes to the fruit of the womb, women can do a lot of crazy things. Don’t hold it against her. She did it for both of you and for the continuity of your lineage. But you guys need better communication.
How do you know that it was a seed not tithes? In church tithing comes first before anything.
It’s everywhere bro..just start saving something aside for yourself and look out for yourself because she won’t do same for you.
The Bible itself says charity begins at home, maybe she doesn’t know that or she’s just selfish.
Kevin hold it against her. You’ve married a dangerous woman. A person who can calmly watch you struggle and even possibly let your father die while she has the money to help you, is a devil no matter how much money she gives to God.
The Bible makes it clear that our first financial responsibility is to our family and not to the church. God loveth a cheerful giver, but the man who cannot provide for his family is worse than an infidel. Giving money to God while your husband begs you for money to save his sick father is just like Saul and the Amalekites. God is not an oppressor or a beggar, that he’d ask you to ignore your sick family member whilst demanding large amounts of money from you.
One day, you’ll be sick, this woman would have the money, but would calmly sit down and watch you die while diligently paying tithes and giving sacrificial offerings to God for divine healing. Just know that in this marriage, you’re on your own
