The General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church Of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye shared this very
touching personal story of his life few days ago.
Read it below.
In 1956, while living
with my uncle, we had our fair share of poverty. He was poor but I was poorer.
We mutually shared whatever we had. One day, we were very hungry and there was
no food in sight.
Then all of a sudden a
young girl approached us and said her sister asked her to give us the food she
was carrying -pounded yam with vegetable soup and chicken. My uncle told her he
did not know her sister and asked if she was sure we were the right people the
food was meant for.
She replied in the
affirmative, so we received the gift and my uncle told her he will be expecting
more gifts from her sister like this one she brought. Immediately the girl
left, we pounced on the food. As soon as we were done eating the food, the girl
resurfaced and said it was all a mistake that the food was not for us.
Who will give a hungry
lion a goat and expect to get it back? The mercy of God can corner what was
meant for somebody else for the recipient of His mercy.
To recap it all, here is what he said:
This season, the mercy
of God will bring you blessings and opportunities including the ones not
initially meant for you. By an unplanned move or deed, mercy will connect you
to your destiny.
Mercy turns mistakes
into appointments. When mercy is involved, there are no mistakes! Father, let
Your mercy compel mistakes to work in my favor in Jesus’ Name AMEN!!!!!
