An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket.All had
left was $100. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as
he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no
job, nobody was ready to help him.
He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little
children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not
eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean that he
could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the socket.
With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old
man and children prayed for him that will bless and prosper him and then
gave him a very old coin. The young graduate said to them "you need the
prayer more than I do".
With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the bridge
to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an old
newspaper on the floor. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an
advertasking for people with old coins to come to a certain address. He
decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On getting to
the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. Alas, the proprietor screamed,
brought out a big book and showed the young graduate a photograph. this
same old coin was worth $3M. The young graduate was overjoyed as the
proprietor gave him a bank draft for $3M within an hour. He collected
the Bank Draft, went in search of the old man and little children.
By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He
inquired from the owner of the canteen who told him that they even left a note for
him. He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them.
But alas, the words in the note reads thus: "You gave us your all and we
have rewarded you back with the coin" Signed God the Father, The Son and
The Holy Ghost. 1 Kings 17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30
Have you given your all to Jesus Christ? If you haven't, do so today and
he will surprise you.
