The old coin
An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All
had left was $100. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for
death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated, as he
could find no job, nobody was ready to help him.
He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little
children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had
not eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean
that he could see their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone into the
socket. With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the
food. The old man and children prayed for him that will bless and
prosper him and then gave him a very old coin. The young graduate said
to them "you n! eed the prayer more than I do".
With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the
bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an
old newspaper on the floor. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an
advertisement for people with old coins to come to a certain address.
He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him. On
getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. Alas, the
proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young
graduate a photograph. This same old coin was worth $3M. The young
graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for $3M
within an hour. He collected the Bank Draft, went in search of the old
man and little children.
By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He
inquired from the owner of the canteen who told him that they even
left a note for him. He quickly opened the ! note thinking it would
lead him to find them. But alas, the words in the note reads thus:
"You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin"
Signed God the Father,
The Son and the Holy Ghost. 1 Kings 17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30
Have you given your all to Jesus Christ? If you haven't, do so today
and he will surprise you. If you have been blessed with this message,
do let me know and please send it to others
