MAY WE NOT STOP OUR BLESSINGS WITH OUR OWN HANDS:
THIS IS A TRUE LIFE STORY:
A christian brother worked for this Transport Company that operated over 12 Buses. Time came, the owner got involved in other businesses he found more lucrative. First thing that came to mind was to sell his Transport business outrightly.
He changed his mind and decided to bless this Chistian brother by systematically transferring the business to him. Brother Joe was a loyal, dedicated and honest PERSON; he had worked for this man, kept his money even when he was out of Town, this was time to bless him.
Joe you've driven this Bus the last three years, Yes sir
How much do you think its worth, if I decide to sell it now; he gave a price from his head, Joe you're right, the boss replied.
I want you to become the owner and not just the driver of this bus.
Sir, how do I become the owner, I don't have the kind of money to buy it.
Pay me 30% of the money you mentioned and the Bus is yours.
Where do i get this kind of money to buy this Bus, God pls help me.
Joe had about 10% on his own.
His mind went to his Church, his Pastor, he is a regular, a Tither and a worker, Surely his Pastor would help him out.
His Pastor agreed to help him with the entire 30% and of course to return the Loan as he earn from driving the bus.
Bus was secured with Pastors money. Pastor asked for Keys of the Bus to conduct prayers on the bus before business, asked bro Joe to come back 2 days later to pick the Keys.
That was the end, Pastor refused to hand over Keys to Bro Joe, when Joe complained, he asked him to leave his Church, Pastor brought his younger brother to start driving the bus.
Hence Bro Joe became jobless.
Joes was too embarrassed to tell his boss the unprecedented betrayal from his Pastor. Boss now told him why he tested him with just one boss.
Boss now revealed to him how the entire 12 buses are meant for him but had wanted him to separate his heart from his head when it comes to money and business.
Boss now drew a Contract for him, to ensure he sign MOU and agreement before he changes goods for money and otherwise.
Bro Joe now approached two other brothers in the church, ordinary Church members, they agreed to business deals, they signed contracts before a Lawyer, they cmae with funds and acquired the other 11 Buses, this way Brother Joe became the New Managing Director of the Transport Company.
He vowed that Pastor was not qualified to have his Tithe, he paid his Tithe elsewhere and it was a matter of time before he found a better place of worship.
You think the greedy Pastor would let him be? the answer was No
He found out that Joe had a fleet of Buses and asked him to come and take the one he cunningly took form him. His brother operated the bus but never returned good money.
Bro Joe promised to think about it, but quietly left the church.
Morals of this story
The fact that you think a person is beneath you, cant do you nothing, does not mean his God cannot do you something.
Moreover how do you know God is not wanting to give you 12 buses, but you greedily took just one and locked yourself out of eleven.
Graciousness is a virtue, how do you know and where do you know the blessings you're asking from God is gonna come from.
Respect God in everyone even when you dont see the immediate reason to.
Blessings all.
I AM ESTHER CHIKERE.
