You cannot afford to miss reading this particular epistle, because it is enlightened and educative 👌.
There are two things about destiny! Destiny can either be aborted or denied if you give up on it, or it can only be delayed but not denied if you do not give up.
Never giving up pays at the end 🔚
“God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” trusting and believing in His perfect plan for you is an ideal assurance.
Olivia was the only child of her parent. She left home for studies but met the negative side of life before the end of her education. Her parents were devoted Christians and gave her the training she needed.
Their financial status would be ranked at a low level, yet her parent made sure they gave her the best support she ever needed.
Olivia was doing well academically before she lost her parent. She made good grades in her first and second years because she was focused and had fewer things to worry about.
She was anointed from the womb, but the devil saw the glory in her and tried to make life miserable for her and to make her deviate from the way of God, but as a child who feared God, she remained in faith.
Olivia spent two years in school without visiting home, and her parent felt relaxed because they had confidence in her, knowing that their daughter was the fellowship leader at school and the choir leader at the church gathering.
Everything about Olivia changed a few months after she lost her parents.
Almost everything became challenging, including her studies. She could no longer pay attention in class; each time the memories of her parent flashed back to her, she would cry until there were no tears to call anymore. There was no family to help her, just her and her God.
Due to the death of her parent, she lost interest in school because she promised her parents distinction and had always wanted to present her certificate to them. So, losing her parent seems like the end of the world to her.
Olivia eventually dropped out of school because no one cared for her. She only got encouragement from people, but none could finance her education.
She was just 19 when her parent went to be with the lord. Dropping out of school was the best option for her because she felt life was too tough for her to handle at that age.
Olivia returned home to learn a trade but needed help to continue due to some challenges.
Just a month later, she got a teaching job as an essential five teacher in a school because she was brilliant and merited it.
Life became easy again because she could take care of herself and have some savings. However, the memories of the time she spent with her parent were not erased from her memory.
Olivia never stopped believing in God despite what she was going through. She worked in the primary section for a year, and the school proprietor saw her conscientiousness, so she was made her assistant.
She was the youngest, but knowledge and wisdom, they say. It is not measured by age.
Olivia one day summoned the courage to tell her boss (Mrs. Valerie) that she would like to do a part-time program to continue her education as she is someone who loves teaching and has a passion for educating others.
Her request was granted due to how meticulous she was with her work. Olivia was happy seeing herself in school again. Olivia gave her best this time because she knew God was her only hope and sustainer.
Combining her job and studies was an arduous task, and most of the time, she looked pensive, but she didn’t relent, and God saw her through till her final year. Five years later, she graduated as a journalist with first-class honors.
It was the most significant achievement for her, but she wept bitterly, remembering how her parent would have celebrated her as a first-class holder and their only child.
Then she said to herself that life could happen to anyone, and no one would know what life without a parent means until they become a victim.
Olivia was ecstatic to be a graduate after many years of pain; it was a dream come true, so she never stopped thanking God for his love and mercy.
Mrs. Valerie’s son (Mike), who resides in the United States and saw Olivia, fell in love with her at first glance and told his Mum he was interested in making Olivia his wife.
His Mum permitted him and promised to sponsor their wedding if she agreed to marry him.
Mike proposed to Olivia, and she accepted; all the marital rite was done, and Olivia became his wife.
A few weeks after the marriage, Mike and Olivia traveled back to the United States, and in the end, Christ was glorified.
LESSON:
No matter your challenges, do not give up on God, for he is the hope of all glory. He never fails. What he said concerning you must surely come to pass if you remain in faith.
I hope this story encourages someone not to relinquish their dreams because God is not done with you yet. He still has an interest in you.
So, I encourage the reader to keep the current situation of life from defining your destiny, for tomorrow will always be better than today.
ADVICE:
Whatever you find yourself doing, do it well. Humans might not reward you but know that God is the greatest rewarder, who watches you from heaven.
Mrs. Valerie wouldn’t have granted Olivia’s request and given her son a person to propose to her if she hadn’t behaved well.
In serving God, have good character and keep the fire burning. Your service will be justified in the end.
THE END.
