She is always at the church premises by
6am wearing some faded jeans, an old T shirt and
some slippers. She always comes to
clean the chapel and arrange the seats.
For six years she has never missed a
single Sunday
coming to clean the place. On this faithful day a young man walked
into the chapel while
she was still cleaning. He went and sat
down watching as the lady cleaned. He
was impressed that a lady who looked
quite good even in the old cloths and a scarf over
her hair could be so dedicated to her
work in church.
He thought within himself that
this was an unfortunate lady who
probably had not gotten anyone to take care of her schooling and now she
would probably be an
orange seller or some petty trader
struggling to make ends meet. He
watched and within his heart he felt he
now knew what God wanted him to do. When he had felt a compulsion to come
very early to church he
had not understood but now he
thought he did. He went back to his car
and took out two 50 cedis notes and
when the lady finished her work and was about to leave he called
her and commended her for her service
and gave her the notes.
She respectfully declined
the gift but he insisted pressing it into
her hands. He asked if she lived close by or if he could
go drop her so she would not be late.
She thanked him and told him that her
car was nearby, but he did not
comprehend or even try to understand
what she had just said.
He walked her out determined to find
out all he could about this lady that God
wanted him to help change her level.
They walked out
of the chapel with him telling her where he worked and how God had asked him
to come early to church that day and
how he believed God is
directing him to help make a big
difference in her life. He was so busy
talking he had not realized they had walked directly to a
car parked under some trees in the
parking lot. The car made his one year
old Benz
look like a worn out wheel barrow.
The lady opened the driver’s door stepped in and handed over her card to
the man and said, “I believe God sent
you here for a purpose, but I do not
think it was to change my level, May be
it was to change yours.” I am tempted
to say it took a forklift to shut the young man’s mouth and move him from the
place he was glued to as the lady drove
off.
God had a purpose for bringing him to
church that morning and that purpose
was to teach him humility which he learnt well because now two people
always clean the chapel when everyone
fails to show
up.
Many times we think so highly of
ourselves that where God sends us to learn we go trying to teach.
We may be men created in the image of
God but at one time ants shall be the
professors seeking to
impart knowledge to us only if we are
humble enough to learn. Stay blessed, be humble, trust and obey.
