How was your day? Mine was a rollercoaster filled with different rides: ranging from Joy, Fear to Anger, even Hunger..(Mhen, I was really hungry today). You can't imagine what happened to me today.
So, today, in the afternoon, at the shop, I bought some goods from the "Premier" Uncle and as usual, I left it outside where he dropped it, even though, I could have told someone to take the goods inside but I didn't and guess who came in next... That Lady, I don't even know her name.
Anyways, that was how she came and carried some goods to one side that I should come and calculate them. From where I stood, I couldn't see all that she took, so I depended on whatever she told me to calculate. When, I was through, she paid for the goods and I gave her, her change.
Few minutes later, that fair in complexion customer that is always asking for bread came and asked me for "Canoe" big bar soap. So, I went to check the goods that "Premier" Uncle dropped for me, only to discover that the Full carton of the soap was missing. Gbese!!!(As the Yoruba's would call it.."Trouble", "Problem", " Wahala",...etc.)
I was no longer myself, I started looking everywhere for the soap, "market" that I have not paid for.
That is how I was looking for it and praying to God(The Holy Spirit) to help me out of this trouble, only for me to look towards that lady's market that I had calculated earlier on and see two cartons of "Hollandia" yoghurt that I did not calculate, sitting comfortably under her other goods that I had calculated.
Sharpaly, I asked my people if the yoghurt was our own, they answered "Yes".. I did not even think twice or waste time, I went straight to her goods and carried my cartons away.
Imagine, I was still looking for a full carton of soap and this woman is carrying two cartons of yoghurt. Please, tell me, where is my gain?
As I was still praying and thinking, that is how this Great God, this Sweet God, reminded me of one of the customers that an okada man helped to pack his loads.. He, then, laid it on my heart to send someone to the man's shop, to ask him if the soap was mistakenly packed into his goods.
Few minutes later, the person I sent, was walking towards me with the Full carton of soap, no reduction. Isn't God a great God? Isn't He too much?
When pastor declared yesterday, that God will supply all our needs through Uncommon means throughout this week..It was NOT a LIE!
In my case, God used a lost product to help me discover two of my goods that would have gone just like that and still brought back the lost product to me.
Indeed, God is a True & Living GOD!
