Something crossed my mind, i remembered this true story :
There was a tyrant gangster student and he’s someone which not many people will fancy for his behaviour and lifestyle. He’s quite charming, therefor he broke many girl’s virginity including the underages ones. The girls became guilty and shameful that lead them continue to have sex before marriage; unable to enjoy the glory and honour of being a virgin.
When this gangster guy flung his final year exam before the O Levels, he decided to quit school. But after attending some talks organised by the school, he felt the importance and neccessity of the O level cert, but it was too late to study and catch up all the subjects. He also has no money for school and exams fees to repeat 1 more year. His family gave up on him after several meet ups with the school teachers and principal.
Although he was notorious, everyone looked down on his abilities to study… everyone, EXCEPT for 1 Christian Lady Lecturer of his. She saw him sternly strong on the outside, but she felt the weakness and deadness on his inside.
On the day of the O’ levels result collection, knowing he had flug and would never walk into school again, she walked up and had a chat with him. This was the ending conversation:
Teacher: i am going to lend you the money and pay for you to repeat 1 more year, to get your O’ levels cert.
Student: Thanks, but i don’t need it. I don’t fuck care to study study and i don’t want YOU TO PAY FREE FOR ME.
Teacher: Free? I will lend you the money and you are going to pay me back WHEN YOU GRADUATE next year.
For the first time in his life, he realised that someone had confident in him and someone sees him as a potential achiever. No one ever gave any encouragement close to this. The guy teared and accepted the offer. He would pay the teacher back the amount when he graduate.
After many months of going through thick and thin with the teacher’s guidiance, he is convinced that GOD had helped him.
Today, this guy is one of the major successor in the industry . Having various honourable diploma and degrees, he now owns various houses and drives a BMW convertable. He is ALSO a Pastor.
What can we learn from this true incident? Amazingly alot:
- GOD helps those who help themself? No way, if this is true then there won’t be many failures around. In fact GOD helps the helpless. The helpless are those who really came to the end of the road without any pride or unbelief left. In this case, GOD helped the student by sending the teacher to him at the lowest point of his life.
- This is what GOD is doing around the world everyday. NO ONE is borned a Christian; anyone who is a Christian by family name is totally nonsese. Anyone who knows and let GOD loves them is a child of GOD. But the world defines this as ‘Christian’.
- A church is formed because everyone has true story to share, after real life experiences with GOD. Sadly the world classifies this as ‘religion’. Hence we do not know the truth and hated Christians like myself in the past.
- Do you realise the student is now a Pastor and currently a successor in the business industry and drives a sports car? It’s strange that nay-sayers gets jealous of such achievemets because stereotypically, we are taught that religious leaders must be poor to be ‘holy’. Not realising all these are their own achievements and has nothing to do with Church fundings.
- Remember when we pray for help, (I’m referring to everyone, not just Christians) most of the times, GOD dosen’t appear to you, nor gives you the things you want immediately. Instead, GOD sends people to help you and you will SURELY succeed with that little you have with. Also, being faithful to the little we have, helps us succeed even faster. May it be money, assets or verses of promises from the Bible.
