Just A Seed Of Faith

One night, as he knelt in prayer, a vision filled his mind: a vivid image of a bountiful harvest and abundant rainfall. Emboldened by this revelation, Thomas decided to plant seeds despite the arid conditions. His friends mocked him, the villagers laughed at him. On the verge of doubt, he wanted to stop but devoted his thought to making an irrigation system and a water reservoir.

It’s been months since he planted his crops. One day, he stood on this farm, and in a loud voice, he prayed. He reminded God of the dream, he had some months ago. The sun scorched on his skin till tiny sores emerged and sweat rolled on his face like showers. After planting the last seed, he removed his raffia hat and wiped his sweat away with the back of his palm. Miraculously, a cold drop fell on his arm. He looked at it and glanced up at the bright sky.

All of a sudden, gentle rain began to fall, and Thomas could hear the villagers jumping for joy. The field transformed— the cracked earth turned to fertile soil. Thomas’ joy knew no bounds his land was wet and the reservoir was filled with water.

His plants grew as he watered his crops both day and night. The villagers marveled as Thomas’s crops flourished, defying the odds. News of this miraculous harvest spread, and he became a rich farmer. He used his wealth to renew the faith of his entire community.
