*A Story To Make You Be Sensitive To The Inner Needs Of Others And To See Just Beyond One's Standing Point And Their Future*
In 2002, after church service one day, our leader then, noticed a young lady who was a 'pepper seller' still around...
Him: Madam, why are you still around? Are you not going home?
She: Sir, I will go
But she still did not go home
Then my leader said he got a word in his spirit that she didn't have transport fare.... Oh!
So he squeezed a naira note into her hand..... He noticed she quickly bought biscuits for her little daughter and had enough to go home.
Even when she wasn't looking like who will be anybody..... My leader never gave up on her!
Fast-forward 18 years later...... This pepper seller is now a medical nurse in the United States of America with her children with her......... Interesting right?.
And she has been a huge blessing to my leader.
And when she is asked..... Why all these excess kind gestures....
She replies till date...... 'Daddy gave me #20'
I am writing this not so you begin to expect everyone who you have been privileged to help to come back and return the favor. They may never come back!
I am writing this so you don't give up on people too soon!
They may look like people without hope and future...
See deeper! it's beyond how they look! There is something beautiful about their lives!
Don't be quick to write people off! Don't be quick to give up on people!
Don't be quick to conclude they can't amount to anything! That's too hasty a decision to make!!!
If 'Mrs Pepper seller' was told her life will be what it is today...
She would never have believed!!!!
The same applies to ladies who confuse gold for stones because the surface is too rough. They get carried away with 'efizy' and outward show! They look down on good men because they are "just starting life'
There is no 'ordinary' anybody, anywhere ......what the 'anybody's needs is time!
Never stop to believe in people and also never forget to let them know you believe in them!
When you see a person without hope...
Don't go about talking such fellow down! Infuse hope.
If only we are patient! Patient to watch and see what becomes of the lives of people, Even in ministry...
It's the same! That uncommitted person now can become one of your most loyal leader tomorrow.
Just be patient! Give it time!
