One Reason To Succeed - God

We only need #Onereasontosucceed

One reason you can succeed is God. The very concept of a God requires the being to be omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. There is no reason why a being that has the power to do ANYTHING, knows Everything, and can be EVERYWHERE should be a failure. The benefits of these abilities also reach all who believe - no matter their circumstances.

Alfred was a young, newly-married father of a beautiful daughter - Cecilia. As a junior executive with a private oil-prospecting firm,  he earned a comfortable living. Alfred, his wife-Joanna, and their daughter had taken a short vacation to visit his country home - a visit they had all found refreshing and enjoyable. Especially Alfred, who wanted a short break from the rigours of full-time work. Then, had come the time to return home to the city.

On their way home, a man who looked well-off had flagged them down and asked for a ride into the city as his car had broken down at a deserted, remote place. He told them he had been trying to get help for over an hour but people had just driven past. While driving, Alfred received a devastating text message - a sum of 50 million naira he had authorized for a foreign supplier had somehow disappeared. In his state of shock, he lost control of his speeding and drove into bushy ravine by the roadside. Only the man they had picked on the escaped unhurt; Alfred and his family slipped into various stages of unconsciousness. Cecilia, delicate as she was, went into a coma.

Alfred woke up in a hospital with minor fractures a few days later. He was informed that Joanna was physically fine; she had only lost consciousness because of the shock. However, Cecilia was under observation but the outlook was positive. Then, he received another text - the money had been found. The wire transfer software had experienced a difficult-to-detect glitch and had sent the money to a wrong account. This new text he received was from the man he had picked on the road.

Apparently, the man had friends who were into international finance. He had gotten to skip bureaucratic measures and conduct an intense trace for the money, after having made sure Alfred and his family were receiving the best medical care.

Alfred, above, is like a man called Job in the bible. Job was an affluent man who through a bizarre set of events lost everything he had - including his health and children. He experienced a temporary period of difficulty which tested his will and resilience. Job showed his faith in his God during this period and rewarded him abundantly with good health, material wealth and children.

Your God is not a poor God; He is not a God of failure. He can see you through your most difficult periods even when you don't ask for help- like Alfred. If God is all you have,  then you have everything you need because he is always looking out for you. He is #onereasontosucceed .
