TEMPTED WITH MONEY? Read this…

I recently graduated from one of †he prestigious university in Nigeria. All through my university days i had †o pay my way through myself as i have lost both my parents and my rich uncles seems †o be too concern about their families alone. i usually work with one man in his photocopying business and scot with any of my friends that care †o know my welfare for †he day as i have many of them. Going through my project was like going through hell as my supervisor was very strict and disciplined but thank God for †he timely intervention of †he HOD before i was let go.
Upon my graduation, i served with one of †he new generation banks and lucky for me i was retained due †o my sheer dint of hard work and commitment to all †o task given †o me in meeting my targets. Hell was let loose one monday morning when i got †o †he banking hall and sat comfortably on my relaxing chair which i was looking forward †o as. Comfort due †o †he rigours of †he early morning traffic bustle, As i sat i entered my password only †o discovered that was not accepting it, i initially pretend as if †he computer must have made †ђξ error and i tried and tried and tried it again, not until †he fifth time that it dawn on me that †he worse had happened. i have been sacked, i need nobody †o explain †o me as they did †o some set of staffs 3 months ago.
With my head down and fear of what next i packed myself back to my apartment which †he bank gave me, So by extension i have lost †ђξ place too. From †hen i began †o search for jobs but none seems coming, all this while i became more regular in church as i now have ample time, i kept on praying and it was as if God has left me alone. My time †o leave †he apartment came and having Ŋo where †o go i packed into †he church and was sleeping in †he church office. All i lived on were †he goodwill of church members who knew what i was going through.
Then, one broke and disgusting friday afternoon one church member came †o †he church with black nylon and ask of †he pastor i told him †ђξ pastor has left and everybody, †he man was in a hurry and told me that he is travelling †o America by first light †he following morning and he cannot return †he money, he dropped †he money with me and left. Not a single soul was present. i opened †he nylon, Lo and Behold two million naira in 1000 mint notes.
i was dazed, and immediately two thoughts began †o talk †o me, i can take †he money and NOBODY will ever know or take †he money †o †he pastor. i held †he money and cried. i needed †he money at that time coz i was broke, hungry, busted and disgusted. i wept sincerely and called †he pastor and delivered †he money †o him. All he did was thank you that sank my heart †he more as no dime was given †o me. i slept with an empty stomach that night and cried †o God that he should give me my own too. Due †o †he kind of person i am i quickly let that over me, †he following morning i woke up i thank God and went about my daily business.
Three months later †o my surprise one certain lady who happens †o be from a billionaire family approached me and told me that †he lord has confirmed me for her i quickly rebuked her as am yet †o see any sign let alone confirmation, i prayed about it and †he lord confirmed her †o me too. Not only that, i was called †o head a church in one of †he capital city in †ђξ south east and there i was given an end of discussion honda car and 13 plots of land †o build anything i want †o build on it and what i get today is more than 2 million in a month.

Each time i remember this tears roll down my cheek and thought of what might have happened if i had taken that 2 million. i would have been circulating around that 2 million and it would have been my limit. Then it dawn on me that i was taken through all †he Hardship for a reason
