So, today, I had to find my way to the supermarket myself. After a series of incidents, I decided to go to another supermarket.
As I was heading there, I felt led to use a separate route but I ignored the "leading". When I was done with my shopping, I still felt led strongly to go through the same route. So, I 'grudgingly' followed the route I was led to go through. The instruction I had was that when I see the person I was sent to, I would immediately know.
As I dragged my load through the route, it occurred to me that if I had listened immediately I got the leading, I wouldn't have to deal with the heavy load, lol.
As I saw a woman from afar, I KNEW she was the one I was sent to. I met another lady with the woman. As I told her that I wanted to share the word from the Lord with her, the other lady quickly excused herself, claiming that she had to get back to what she was cooking, though I met them gisting casually, lol. I didn't mind.
As I sat with the lady I was sent to, she asked me what church I attend. I told her that I didn't really come to invite her to my church but to deliver a word to her from the Lord. I was in jeans and a top so I guess I didn't look like a 'woli', lol. When I gave her the word from the Lord, I ended it by asking her to accept Jesus as her Lord. She asked me to please repeat myself. I gladly did.
Then she told me that she is currently not a Christian. However, she said there is no way she won't become a Christian. She said she just told a lady that left her shop a few minutes before I arrived that she needed a Bible because she needs to read for herself and address some matters. Then she stunned me by requesting for a Yoruba Bible. If you all remember, I bragged about buying a Yoruba Bible a few months ago. I haven't read it since the first day I bought it.
I told her that I'll be back quickly with the Bibeli Mimo. I guess she is used to people promising and failing to deliver because she told me "I'll be expecting you back o". She looked surprised when I got back with the Bible too.
I quickly gave her the Bible and got her number. She's the second of the women I've met in such circumstances. Hmmm
As I reviewed this, a learning point for me is that it pays to listen and do what God is saying. Some have stopped hearing from God (like Saul) because they've flouted every order He gave so He has left them to their own devices. Go back to Him, ask for mercy and start doing what He asks you to do.
Have an enjoyable week.
