Before you become the solution you are made to be, you must have been dug out and refined. Like a gold.
You must have passed through fire so that you can no more feel fire. But quench fire
and be like extinguisher to those that fire are burning.
Once upon a time, a man came to his friend panting and restless. He said to his friend: "I am caught up in debt and I am chocked up, I owe multi -national companies millions and I have no hope. See I come tell you so that you can relate this to my family . When I leave this place, I am going to that river beside the expressway right away. I will pack my car and jump into it
Then what did his friend say?
He said nothing, he saw death in his eyes already ;he was sincere.
So he said :
Okay before you go ahead to die , give me a ride I am going down the road to buy something.
So he gave him a ride. And took his friend to the place he was going. It was a place where drinks are sold. When they were still inside the car his friend ordered for a beer. "won't you drink? "asked his friend. At first he refused but later accepted.
So he began to drink, he finished the first bottle, his friend ordered for another one he finished it, his friend ordered for the third bottle.
As he was about to open it, his friend held his hand. "not any more, don't drink this. Those two you drank will be the last drinks you take before leaving this world ".
Then his friend asked the man "do you still want to die? "
"no" he answered.
His friend share his story with him, how he went bankrupt, how he owed companies and banks huge amounts of money, how he was jailed, the condition of his family, how everyone ran away, how he was rejected. Yet he survived and live today to tell the story.
After sharing his experience which was tougher.
He told him not to give up on life. he told him that, that was just a stage he must pass through. He told him that they are still great things he would do and things to achieve in the future. He told him that there's still future no matter what.
This man went back to the company to explain things. And you know what? favour found him.
They accepted him ,gave him money in spite of his debt and also gave him vehicles.
He was restored and able to pay his debts. That year he was given the best customer award by the company.
What If he had died?
Try to understand that you are made to be a solution.
"every man created by God is a solution to a problem"_TBJoshua.
If you are born as a solution what are you doing now?
To become a solution you must understand the processes of life
You are pained to kill pains, you feel fire to quench fire.
If that man had not passed through the same thing, would he be able to stop his friend from suicide?
Understand that the pain of today, is the gain of tomorrow. You are a solution but don't keep this solution by being overpowered by your past or pain.
You will be refined you will be furnished, to refine and furnish others.
You are neither a mistake nor anyone borne by accident.
Every man has importance.
Understand that your pains are precious stones. However you must overcome it.
