On Love Part 1

One day, the wife of the rich king (the queen) was standing at the balcony of her story building, and as she looked downward, she saw a young man parading the compound. She called him to come up, and the young man complied. On enquiry about his background the man told the queen that he had four children, and had since been living in someone’s veranda because the owner of the house ordered him and his children out of the house. He went further to intimate the queen that one of his sons came by an envelop containing five pounds as they were roaming the street in search of shelter, and that he is using the five pounds to buy empty bottles and cans to sell, so that he might use the proceeds that accrue from it to feed his family.

On hearing this story, the queen was moved with pity. She ordered that the stewards, cooks gardeners and all those concerned with the house keeping in the king’s compound by supplying the young man with empty bottles and similar containers as a way of assisting the young man to fend for this family.

After this, it was not long when the young man returned to the king’s compound for containers. This second time the queen gave him money and ordered that he should go and bring his four children to live in the king’s palace.  And so when the young man finally brought the children, the queen went and narrated the story to the king and solicited for maximum care for them (the poor man’s children). She told the king that it is God who has given them those children. She regretted the thousands of pounds they had been giving to native doctors and others in the name of looking for children. She then decided to devote her whole time and fortune to the upbringing of those children. From then, the queen saw herself as not having the need for her own children anymore. Rather, she claimed those children to be hers forever. 

The king also consented to this, the children had no alternative but to become part and parcel of the king’s household. The last born among the four children was still a baby and the queen took the baby as her new born baby. This baby slept with the queen, soiled her bed and yet received the necessary care from the queen. In spite of this, people continued telling the queen that they could help her to give birth to her own children, but the queen was always not paying attention to them. She made them understand that she had no need for any other children, and that she has got the children she needed.  She vowed that nobody can deceive or dupe her in the name of helping her to get pregnant anymore.  She was contented and happy with these four children and as such, had no need for more. 

As God would have it, the following month, she discovered that she had missed her menstrual period, but she did not take it for pregnancy. After a few months, the family doctor was invited to examine the queen.  The doctor having carried out a comprehensive test confirmed that the queen was pregnant. This report did not bother her at all; instead she considered her state as abnormal. A couple of months passed, the situation remained the same. At the expiration of nine months, she gave birth to a male child.  That was the time she became convinced that she had been truly pregnant.  But, she counted her first child as the fifth. As the years passed by, the queen gave birth to four children; two boys and two girls, just the number she had adopted. Even after giving birth to four children, she structured the birth order such that her adopted children were given preference.

The first of the adopted children remained the eldest child of the family.  The second, third, fourth to the last born from her remained the last. She did not discriminate nor treat any of the children with contempt.

All the children enjoyed equal love from the queen. Note that only four children were collected from the young man. He was given money to go and feed with the wife. But when eventually things turned out that way, the queen remained the king of the need for the young man and his wife to be accommodated and cared for too. This was done.

Have you now realised the reward of receiving and caring for those children. In spite of the fact that the king was rich, he was not able to get children with the aid of his position in the society and money. He had those children because he received other people’s children and cared for them.  I want you to note that the problems of the world emanate from the world’s neglect and indeed outright disregard for children. If you practice this gospel, your life will definitely change for the better. Try it.
