From Rent Struggles to Unexpected Wealth
A young man’s life took an astonishing turn after a seemingly simple act of faith.
- Early in the new year, a messenger received an unexpected gift of property.
- The gift wasn’t a modest home, but a large mansion.
- The man’s fortunes shifted dramatically from financial hardship to unexpected wealth.
The story began with a meeting where it was declared that someone struggling with rent would soon become a landlord. The messenger was the only one present who affirmed the statement with an “Amen.” Shortly after, in the first week of January, he encountered the Chairman of his company and greeted him in a customary African manner. the Chairman, seemingly without prompting, inquired if he had received any Christmas or New Year gifts. When the messenger replied negatively,the Chairman revealed he had won a house in a government bid but had no need for it,offering the keys to the messenger.
Expecting a small dwelling, the messenger was stunned to discover a mansion at the provided address. Overwhelmed, he questioned if what he was seeing could truly be real.
The following day, the messenger returned to the office and, overcome with gratitude, prostrated himself, rolling from side to side before the Chairman. The chairman than asked if the house contained any furniture. The messenger responded that it did not. The Chairman,stating he frequently replaced his furniture,instructed a driver to deliver his previous year’s furnishings to the messenger’s new home.
just months prior, on December 31st, the messenger had been struggling to afford even a single room. By the first week of January, he was residing in a mansion, even sitting in the Chairman’s former chair.The story concludes with a hopeful message: “I don’t know who you are but by this time next year, when you are giving your testimony everybody will know that you are the one god was talking to.”
