"Oga na
3 for 100 naira", Deji paid for the oranges and he began to think to
himself; this woman selling oranges in traffic was a sales executive just like
him, she sold oranges and he sold houses. He thought of the days when he used
to help his mum sell pure water after school and it dawned on him that he could
actually have been the one selling oranges but for the grace of God. He called
the woman back and gave her N5000. The orange seller and his driver were both
shocked but he said to them "I have been there before and I understand
what you are going through" The difference between a mama put cook and a
chef is the grace of God! You could pay N500 for a very tasty meal at a mama
put under a canopy and then you visit an upscale restaurant and pay N7000 and
the food tastes bland!
Don't ever
get to a stage in your life when you believe things are working for you because
you know how to do it, its the grace of God on your life! The bible said in
Deuteronomy 8: 11-18 (ESV) 12lest, when you have eaten and are full and have
built good houses and live in them, 13 and when your herds and flocks multiply
and your silver and gold are multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, 14
then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you
out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, 15 who led you through
the great and terrifying wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and
thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the
flinty rock, 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did
not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. 17
Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have
gotten me this wealth.’ 18 You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He
who gives you power to get wealth, that He may confirm his covenant that He
swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
Always put
God first and acknowledge Him always. The day you begin to feel like you don't
need God is the beginning of the end for you. Let humility be your fragrance.
There are no successful men, all we have are HELPED men! God used someone for
you, it was not by your strength or efforts. It just pleased God to promote
you. You too can be a Social Media Evangelist, share and repost the Gospel of
Jesus Christ so that others can be blessed just like you were blessed. Thank
you for reading.
