How a Pastor Stole a $25,000.00 Open Bank Cheque During Dinner in Member's House*

A Successful N FCigerian couple invited the Pastor of their Church for dinner in their home in California, United States of America.

After the Pastor left, the couple realized their cheque had disappeared. The man said to his wife; “I think the Pastor has stolen the $25,000.00 open bank check that I kept here on the table of which I had the intention to give to him”.

Angrily his wife exclaimed; “Hmmmm! All of them are just the same. If they are not fake, they are thieves. There is no need to invite him again, we shall from henceforth be attending another Church”.

Two Months Later, the woman met the Pastor on a certain street and was courageous enough to face him and said: “Good morning Pastor, you have surely realised that we no longer attend Church, this is because we're angry with you. The day you ate in our house, there was a $25,000.00 open bank check on the table but unfortunately it disappeared while we we're eating. You were the only Person who visited our house at that time”.

The Pastor said to her, “Yes, I took the cheque. I put it in your Bible to avoid spilling the sauce on it”.

The woman got so confused and asked the Pastor to forgive her.

Back in her house, she took up the Bible and found the bank check which had been there for two months.

This meant that for two months, she had not opened her bible. For two months, she and her husband falsely accused the innocent Pastor. For two months, the incident had tortured them unnecessarily.

How many times do we suspect and accuse other people without reasonable proof, evidence or testimony?

How many times do you wrongly give someone a bad name?

How many times do you misinterpret the actions of a brother or sister that means well for you?

Lesson: if you think your brother has offended you..tell him....ask him...iron it out....do not harbour a grudge or hold a beef for nothing.

_So inspiring this is what we sometimes do to others on a daily basis. God help us._

Naija smokey jollof rice.

Ingredients:
4 big bell peppers
2 vine tomatoes
1 whole white onion
Note: You can increase the amounts of the three ingredients above depending on how many mouths you have to feed. The only rule being that the number of peppers should be double the number of tomatoes used, and the number of onions used should be a quarter of the number of peppers used)

1 Scotch Bonnet pepper (optional)
1 whole red onion
Half a cup of vegetable oil
A tube of tomato puree (sachet or tin tomatoes)
3 Bay leaves
1 tablespoon of dried Thyme
3 Stock cubes
2 tablespoons of All purpose seasoning
2 teaspoons of curry powder (optional)
Salt (to taste)
Long grain rice (1 cup per person as a standard measurement) The number of peppers, tomatoes and onions above usually work for 6 cups of rice. If you need to cook less rice, then reduce those ingredients as required.

Time to cook!
-Blend together the peppers, tomatoes and white onion. Set aside.
-Chop up the red onion and fry till translucent in half a cup of oil on medium heat.
-Add 3/4 of a tube of concentrated tomato puree to the red oil mixture and fry for 5 mins.
-Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, stock cubes, all purpose seasoning and salt.
-Mix all of this together; Combine both the mixtures you now have, cover and boil on medium heat for 15 minutes.
-Wash your already parboiled rice and drain till the water is clear. This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook better.
-Once the stew has cooked for 15 mins, add the washed rice, and mix together thoroughly. Cover and cook on low heat, making sure to stir the rice every 20 minutes. -Cook for a total of 1 hour then leave to sit covered for an extra 10 minutes.

You can spice up this recipe by adding 2 well known vegetables to arrive at what we refer to as Mixed Vegetables Jollof Rice.

Serve with fried meat, fish, chicken etc...😊
