SEE HOW GOD CAN USE YOUR ENEMY TO HELP YOU
A certain poor widow lived in a neighborhood. Her house was next to a very wealthy man's house. The widow, a very strong Christian used to pray without ceasing. She would always staged her rosary prayers in front of her house every evening. Meanwhile, her neighbour, the rich man used to mock her. In his exact words, '' You this woman, you keep on praying and nothing has changed about you, you are still poor and looking wretched every day, are you sure God is answering your prayer? '' The more the rich man kept mocking the woman, she never gave up in her prayer life.
On day, the woman was hungry, her food got finished and there was no means for her. No money to buy food and no one to go to for help. So, the woman started praying,'' God, You know my situation and condition right now. All I ask of you is food to eat. Meanwhile, as she was praying, the rich man was passing in front of her door and over heard her prayer point centred on food. The rich man went into his house and thought to himself, he said, ''I will carry this bag of rice and drop in front of her door and hide by and see what this woman would say when she sees a bag of rice in front of her door when she finished praying '' So he took the bag of rice and dropped in front of her door steps and hid by.
Few minutes later, the woman finished praying and came and opened the door and behold, a bag of rice on her door steps. The woman screamed...'' Oh God..,I thank you for a prayer just answered. Just then, the rich man quickly jumped out of his hidings and yelled at the woman. ''Oh...look at you, you thought it was God that answer your prayer by dropping a bag of rice...? No, I am the one that dropped it just to let you know that that your God does not answer your prayers. On hearing that, the woman laughed so laud and said, '' haven't you heard or read in the Bible..? That God can use your enemy to help you, or God can make your enemy to be at peace with you. Have you not read where God caused the Egyptians to give gold, silver, money and valuables to the children of Israelites as they departed Egypt to the promised land..? So, chief, it was God that used you to help me with the food I prayed and asked Him for.
