I have a story I want to share, it revealed a dimension of God to me that I'll never forget.
This was like 3/4 years ago when I was in my final year in Secondary School. We had this extension classes for Ss3 students so it was only us in school.
We were having a lot of challenges in the house financially and my extension fee wasn't yet paid for. I called home and my parents explained their plight and I understood.
I had no provision or extra cash so I was managing what I eat in the refectory with back to back fasting 😂. It was a nice time to study and grow in the knowledge of God.
One day came and i was so hungry, my head was aching and I needed to eat badly, I just couldn't wait for breakfast. I arranged my room, scrubbed everywhere including the bathroom and toilet I use, before moving down with my plate.
I think this might be long but please follow me.
As I got to the tank, I secured a space before heading to the dinning. I greeted the cook (we call them Mummy cook) but something happened. Usually they were fond of me but on arrival there was no smile on their face. One of them said,
"Theo ma'am (my child), your name is on the list of those that hasn't paid for their extension fee. We received an instruction from the boarding mistress not to give food to those that hasn't paid. I smiled at her and told her that she shouldn't bother, I left the refectory.
Tears streamed down my face as I rushed to the school hall in severe pains. I have never been that hungry before, I had a lot going on but most importantly I needed to eat.
I wanted to shout, I wanted to ask God why everything was happening like that, I wanted to blame someone, I was in pains.
I cried so heavily that day but the only word that left my mouth for the 20mins of breakdown was, "GOD CANNOT FAIL ME".
I was hearing voices telling me to how unfaithful God was, I insisted not to believe, not to speak against my Father. My eyes were bloodshot after 17mins, to even imagine I lost my phone (that one is a story for another day). I used three mins to let Him know that I needed Him and I knew He won't fail me. It was really a faith defining moment for me at that season of my life.
As I was leaving the hall back to my room so I will sleep away the hunger for the next 36 hours, I heard someone call me, "Chapel prefect!!".
I didn't want anyone to meet me at that vunrable state of mind so I tried moving faster, I heard it again this time louder. I turned to see the school matron hurrying to catch up with me.
She was very much older so I had to quickly meet up with her, she couldn't walk properly again. She told me the words that streams tears down my face anytime I remember,
" I heard from the cooks that Chapel prefect (she couldn't call my name😂) hasn't eaten and I lost my peace. I have been looking for you all over the school, I'm just coming from the Boarding mistress' house now. I can't be in this school and you are denied of food. Go to the dinning, we reserved your food for you"
I thanked her immensely fighting back the tears, you can't understand this testimony more than I do. I felt like passing out and the thought of not being able to eat till my parents paid was worse.
I followed her to the dinning to meet a double portion of what I was meant to eat. I opened my mouth to bless the food but my tears streamed down into that plate of rice.
I heard Him, God said to me, "EAT!". He said EAT and I ATE.
That evening my mom came to school, the gatemen called me from class since she wasn't allowed in (it wasn't our visiting day). She told me how somehow the money she's been expecting came in that morning. I asked her by what time and when she told me the time, I tried so hard not to cry while she was there.
To cut the miracle short, she got me provisions, an extra cash and my extension fee too. I ate like the rich woman I am that night😂😂.

When the testimony is near that's when the devil puts extra effort to make YOU close the opened door. He makes you disqualify yourself from God's blessings.
Hold unto GOD, your breakthrough is near. HE THAT CREATED THE EAR, CAN'T HE HEAR. HE THAT CREATED THE EYES, CAN'T HE SEE?
