There was a man who was a footballer and he won 200,000 shares then and at that time. He was given an opportunity to travel to New York to become the best football championship in the world but when he got there, things turned worse for him. He was jailed for 25 years leaving behind his wife with a small girl and a little boy who was given birth to immediately he left for New York.

His initial plan was to spend nine months and return back to his family in Nigeria but he was roped and something he was innocent of led him to jail. He was accused of rape though.

After some years, the family concluded he had settled down with another woman and forgot about them. The wife struggled to cater for these children until they grew up.

Where is this leading to?

After 25 years, the man returned to Nigeria in the hope to be reunited with his family back and explain all that happened over there. He went to his mother's house but was told his mother died some years back. He went in to look for the document of the shares he won 25 years ago and took it to the company to redeem to money for him.

When he got there and explained. The manager explained to him that as at the time he won the shares, each shares were worth 10kobo and his 200,000 shares would give him #20,000 ($40) then in 1992, but after 25yrs, each share was #150 naira, giving him #30million naira for his shares. He was so happy.

Now, look at the scenario here. A bad occurrence turned out to be a blessing for him after that years.

When something bad is happening to us, we human beings think God is doing evil, whereas there is good in it.

If he hadn't gone to jail for that year, I bet you, he would have sold his shares for $40 and forget about it. But God wanted to turn him to a millionaire, he brought an incidence in his path.

Do not quote me wrong, God will never be wicked to you. He only keeps you ahead for the blessing He is working out for you.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Bible source link

The greatest truth I want you to hear is that God loves His creatures and He will never allow us to suffer. When you think you are passing through some Challenges in life and nothing good is coming out, do not give up and think God isn't working behind the scene for you. He is! He is only waiting for the right time to actualize it for you.

God had plans for the man by putting him in Jail so that the value of the shares would have increased by the time he was released. God might just perform His wonders and not allow him go to jail but He did it for one thing. For his glory to be manifested.

Perhaps you may think, why in Jail? There is purpose for everything in life. Something can also be coincidence. Something can just come up from nowhere and you find yourself in such situation but trust God that you will never die in it.

I heard of a story some years back. This man was traveling and was at the park waiting for the bus to be filled before embarking on the journey. He was sitting on the first roll and he only went out to get something. When he returned, someone else sat down where he was sitting and the argument started. He wasn't ready to sit somewhere else while the man who took his seat too wasn't ready. He finally concluded he wasn't going with the bus again. He waited for the next bus.

After some minutes, the first bus left and within 10 minutes of driving, they had a fatal accident and everyone died. He heard of it and blessed God for saving his life.

The guy would have been so angry and pissed off by what happened but when he saw what happened, he knew it was God.

This is why we need to always commit our ways and journey into God's hand.

Whenever I am traveling, I don't go in haste and I commit my ways into God's hand and simply put: "God, prepare your own bus or whatever I will be going with for me".

Whatever you are passing through, believe that there is a purpose for it only if you trust God to turn it around for greatness for you.

Thanks for reading

Omo! I cried too especially when his son came to him to learn how to fight in the stadium and was saying all sort of things to his face, not knowing he is the father. So sad though. People do not listen before judging. If not for the boy who used his sense and was like "there would be a reason why his father left them"

Reminds me of the story of a man that fell into coma after purchasing 5 bitcoins in 2016. He had an accident and was placed on life support for 2 years. The total amount of the 5 BTC then was $7000, he regained his health in 2019 and made a lot as profit. He was able to build himself a house and establish a business. This happened in Nigeria. Sometimes when things like this happens to us, it is a avenue to change our lives for good.

Everything happen for a purpose. A mistake might end up being a blessing to someone in the future. Though that man's own is much o. 25 years in prison has taken away the better part of his life. 30million can't redeem the lost times but as they say in everything give thanks. At least he came back to still meet the shares and he wasn't given life imprisonment.

This also reminds me of the story of Job in the bible, despite all the bad things that happened to him, he still believed in God and at the end he was richly blessed. I also have been in a lot of situations that I thought was bad, but at the end it turned out to be a blessing in disguise

Some unfavorable things happen for a purpose but we are so much obsessed with the pain and regret that we don't see the blessing in it.

My uncle experienced such at oshodi, he was going with about 8 people to Ibadan for a party. They went with lots of food and drinks but discovered that cooler of meat was missing, they pleaded with the driver to give them time to go bring the cooler from Isolo.

The driver was impatient and offloaded their goods, they were still loading at the Park when the chairman of the park got a call that the vehicle had a fatal accident. Some problems are blessings in disguise and we shouldn't all feel down that something happen in our life.

Wow! Can you see how impatient led him to the grave. Your uncle might be angry because he was missing the party because of the meat but God turned it around to save him and other people. What would People say about your Uncle? Because all what they will keep saying is that your uncle was the one who took them out. We need to be grateful for whatever that happens to us.

And the princess has arrowed the pages of the Bible to best educate us. There are incidents that make us wonder if God truly cares for His own. I'm sure the first man who won a lottery must have questioned his faith.

Yes, it's a humanly thing to do but most importantly we shouldn't let ourselves to be drown into these unfortunate incidents. When we fall, we should always keep our hopes up that the one who hears and sees everything will step in OR it might just be an interview to see if you are ready for the next journey. Thank you very much for this wonderful piece filled with the blessings of the WORD.

Everything happened for a purpose. We need to be patience and be contented. Don't ask God about what happened since he knows what's the best for us.

If you fail today tomorrow, wait for the other day , next month, next year and so on will be the happiest day. We should remain as a good individual and always be grateful. We have our own paths and God created this so we must trust him all the time.🙏

This goes with the saying "every disappointment is a blessing". Each time Delay comes, there's something close but because our minds are to shallow, we give in to complains and hurriedness. I've heard countless stories of such, I've seen witnesses(victims) as well. A guy that dropped out of school because of money, later returned back to school and got scholarship to further his education.
