Dear all,
Just some background info:
I’m 30 years old. I serve in church as the keyboard player. Been serving in church for 23 years.
I’m self employed as a library supplier and business has been quiet since the beginning of 2019. However I went on a 7 day fast for my business, and the day after breaking fast I received many big orders. Praise God.
Life hasn’t been good for me and my pastor and his wife knows about the struggles I gave in life.
Anyway since I’m a library supplier and I’ve managed to secure many big orders through fasting and trusting in God, I didn’t have enough funds to fulfill these orders, in fact I didn’t have any money at all.
So my pastor decides to start a project of some renovations at church and asked people to pledge. I could not pledge since I have no money at all.
Anyway, I decide to attend a huge book event in Europe. Paid for by my cousin, to meet with my suppliers and negotiate better terms to execute these orders on hand.
My pastor and his wife now ignore me and don’t even acknowledge my presence in church even though I still serve. I think it’s because I could not pledge toward their project but they feel as though I did not pledge but could travel to Europe.
I need advice on how to handle this situation. I did nothing wrong. I am always obedient with my tithes. And I’m a very committed server in church.
I’m really discouraged and feel like leaving church.
Thanking you in advance
