Sanni locked himself in his room praying and crying in bitter tears. His heart was filled with deep sorrow, he needed 100,000 naira and he needed it badly. His status depends on it. One thing he hated most in his life was embarrassment and it felt like his life was about to be upside down.
He had never been to the police station before but last night he dreamt that the police had come for him. He was owing a person 100, 000 and every means to repay his futile. He had posted the borrowers but failed to meet up and he was threatened that Monday, noon was the last chance for him to pay.
Today is Friday and a bank alert from a friend came in, it was the exact amount he needed—100,000 naira. That night he knelt by his bed crying silently thanking God from the bottom of his heart. “Thank you, ah! Thank you,” he repeated again and again. All of a sudden, a still small voice said, “Give the money to your neighbor.”
He called it a bluff and assumed the voice was from the devil. He went by his way but his heart had no rest until he gave his neighbor all the money. It was Sunday, he resigned to his faith. He knew that God was all-knowing and he had no powers. God does whatever he wants.
On Monday, he went to work with a heavy heart. He sat in his office lost in thought but always checked the time at intervals. It was 11:30 just a few minutes to 12. His boss came into his office and started him down. Sanni oblivious to the scrutiny, continued to stare into space till she tapped his desk and said. “Sanni, God loves you o, he said that I should give you this.” His boss placed a white envelope before him and left.
Sanni opened it, and he was astonished. It was money, alright! 5 times the one he had gotten on Friday. He glanced at the clock. It was 11:49. God came through for him big time. He paid his debt and even had a lot to go by.
