NEVER GIVE UP
One fateful
day I got a call, still wondering who the caller was, the person said… you
don’t know me, I got your number from your in-laws and decided to put a call
across to you, please don’t hang up on me, as I have my reasons for calling
you.
I had an
encounter with your late husband this morning before leaving my home, still
wondering what he was up to, knowing fully well that Charles was gone forever, and
I wasn’t expecting anything different from what I have got to accept, still
wondering what he has to say, immediately I responded…please go on am
listening.
“Your husband
walked into my bathroom this morning when I was taking my bath, it was a scary experience;
he warned me that the letter of administration that was going to be issued today
should be stopped, as his wife has nothing to do with. He told me that your name
was included without your knowledge… With
this serious warning, I had to get your phone number in other to reach you”.
He requested
that I attend the next court sitting, as he will move to have the case adjourned
to give me time to prepare for the trip to Delta state, he promised to give me
a call and inform me on the next court sitting, true to his word he did call,
and I immediately promised him, I will be there.
Hmmm, did I believe
it was Charles who spoke with him, not at all, however, it reinforced my belief
that God had me covered, whether he was
telling me the truth or not, all I could think about his story, was that an
angel had step into my case.
On the set
date, with no idea what to expect, I went to court with my elder brother and
that was the start of the fight to ensure no one took advantage of me even
though most people thought I ought to let go.
For me this was not about money, however, it was about justice and I was
willing to go all the way to ensure that no one would treat me or anyone as
badly as they had planned to treat me.
in Luke
18:1-8 Jesus told the parable of a widow
who presented herself constantly before the judge, asking him to grant her
justice. She was a poor widow; who was defenseless. She had a legal case
pending against someone who had wronged her, she was unprotected and
disadvantage to cultural belief. The parable doesn't tell us what
injustice had been committed against the widow, but I know she must have been
stripped of her property and all that her husband left her, the situation must
have been a terrible, due to her desperation and steady visit to the unjust
Judge for justice.
She had
to get justice and went on to the judge, Even though she had no one to help
her, she went to and the judge directly and while the judge wasn’t the best
human being on earth he had no choice but to help her.
What
about you and me? We sometimes become so discouraged by the challenges of our
lives that we stop praying, stop hoping, and stop expecting God to intervene in
our situation, and eventually begin to live on self-pity and at the mercy of
people. That shouldn’t be our case, we ought to cling to God in faith and
persistence until our help manifests.
Unlike the unrighteous judge, our God is willing, able and committed to
change our lives and story.
Never
give up on yourself, and do all you can to embrace God in other to get the best
that life has to offer. We should
not be discourage, by allowing the giants in our promise land prevent us from
possessing that which is rightfully ours. The bible encourages us to be strong
and courageous, in other to help us focus on our goals and ignore the fears.
The
unavoidable challenges that make us turn to God are better than the blessings
which makes us forget to Him; God cannot be unjust to those who call upon Him,
He is always righteous and good in all His dealings. We can confidently come
before Him with our needs, and He will hear and deliver us.
Just like
He heard my cry in the dark and sent someone who understood the process to help
me, He will come and save you too.
Please hold on, your help.
You are
loved.
Peace
