He reached out to me.
Just like every other person has been doing this recent time.
Messages were many and coming almost every hour.
But I was able to see his.
He was sending crying emojis and telling me how difficult things had been with him.
That nothing seemed to work for him.
Not business and not jobs.
The place he worked after six months he got the job, he was f!red.
This has been happening since he graduated from school. He won't last more than six months in his work place and he'd get f!red for no good reason, no matter how careful he'd be.
It was like a pattern.
So he had come to my inbox asking me to pray for him.
After I read all his messages I asked him one thing.
"I am sorry about what has been going on around you. But you know that I am not a pastor or a prophet, I am just an ordinary person like you."
He read my messages quickly and replied.
"Thank you for replying to me sir. God bless you, this is a sign that God has blessed me. Sir I know that you are not a pastor but God has given you a gift to see. That is why we are rushing into your inbox because I am sure that I am not the only one. Please help me ask God why all this is happening to me, I am tired of life already. I can't even feed my family anymore please sir."
I asked him.
"Are you a true believer of Christ?"
"Yes sir and I have been praying yet nothing has been happening. These difficulties have been in my life since I graduated."
I read his response and closed my eyes.
I didn't hear anything about him.
I prayed for him silently to see if God would speak to me on his behalf.
Yet I heard nothing.
So I left his chat and went on with my busy day.
Since then he kept on sending me messages to help him.
But I didn't respond to any of them.
Because I wouldn't want to say what God hadn't said to me concerning his life, even though he didn't understand things of the spirit and was putting pressure on me to please do something.
About five weeks later since his last message, I was doing my midnight worship.
I heard it in my spirit.
"That man who told you that after six months of any workplace he is working, he'd get f!red. Tell him to meet his pastor in his church, he will pray for him and tell him what is wrong with him. It is through his pastor that I will deliver him."
I told the man what I heard.
And in the morning his response was.
"My pastor is a big man of God o, people always queue to see him o, he doesn't have time o. If it was easy I would have met him since. Is there not anything you can do?"
"That is exactly what I heard in your case, please just have faith and meet with your pastor."
He kept on doubting and lamenting.
So I left him alone.
Two weeks later, he told me that immediately he summoned courage to meet with his pastor, it wasn't hard as he thought it would be.
After church service he went to the altar and pleaded to one woman to please help him, he wants to see the pastor.
While he was asking the woman who he knew was close to the pastor, the pastor was coming out of his Office, seeing someone off.
Immediately his pastor saw him, he said six words.
"I have been waiting for you."
He took him to his office as the man broke into uncontrollable tears.
Telling him how he had suffered so much, his pastor told him this after he prayed with him.
"God has told me about you before you came. Let me tell you this first, if you want to help someone, in most cases, reach out to people suffering yourself, oftentimes, not the people who reach out to you unless you are led in the spirit to do so. Most of the time, avoid roadside beggars completely. When you were in university many years ago. You gave one roadside beggar some money out of pity on your way to lecture near your school in Lagos. That beggar is not an ordinary person, he is from another world and since you gave him money, your life shook negatively, if you remember, that very day after you gave him money, you were so down and unhappy that day. Since that day, you have been suffering because he took your prosperity from you..."
He reached out to me.
