Scripture:- 1 Samuel 16:1-23
Topic:- Do Not Judge A Book By Its Cover
By Gabriel Gabito Akume

I attended one Ph.D. exit Seminar at BSU and the student dressed this way for the presentation.

The Lecturers were all angry at him and began to rain insults.

He stood crying as they said horrible things about him.

When they were done, he began “Standing before you today that I am defending my Ph.D. The thesis is a miracle no one else can do except God.

Today is the most special day of my life and I know I have to look my best.

I actually did, I wore my best clothes.

Standing before you is the son of a very wealthy man whose parents died in a motor accident when he was 9 years old and in primary 4.

His late parents left him with 2 younger sisters.

The eldest was 6 while the youngest was 4 when they died.

All my parents had, was inherited by my father’s younger brother and he threw us out of the house.

There was no one to run to. We survived it and I promised myself, that I and my sisters must get the best education.

I went to a Community School in Ushongo where I work on people’s farms in the evening to feed my sisters.

And later worked on the Construction site to make sure they both attended and graduated at Federal Government Girls College Gboko.

My sister’s sold fried yam and ice fish in Gboko and saw me through School in Uni Agric Makurdi.

When I graduated, I thought a job will come and our lives will change.

That didn’t happen and my sisters insisted I go for M.Sc.

I finished my Programme at the University of Ilorin in 2017 and came here for the Scholarship while also insisting my sisters take their JAMB and enroll in the University.

Yes, we have God fighting for us and they all passed and are admitted here to BSU.

The eldest is in Geography while her kid sister is in Law.

The load is all on me. Many of you my Lecturers may not even know me because I am not always in class.

The little I make goes for their School fees, feeding, and accommodation.

They have made sacrifices for me and I owe them this Education.

Profs., Drs, pls pardon me. I know where designer suits are sold in Modern Market but I have to appear before you this way because my sisters would drop out of this University if I do….”

Everyone was shocked and heads down.

A lady Doctor couldn’t hold her tears. She had to stop him from telling his story and asked the sisters should pack into her house in town no one is occupying since she is staying in the Staff Quarters.

The guy defended his Thesis perfectly and everyone in the hall stood up clapping for him and admiring his strength, courage, and resilience.

Prayer Point:- Oh Lord God, help me to be responsible for others to be helped henceforth by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.

ALTAR CALL

If you want to give your life to Christ; you want your sins forgiven; you want to become a child of God; you want to experience the realities of new birth; you want to make heaven;

Or you were once saved and fell along the line, and now you want to rededicate your life to Christ…

Then pray this short prayer of Faith

Say it loud and mean it:

“Lord Jesus, I surrender my life to you today. Forgive me my sins, wash me with your blood. I believe you died for me, on the third day you rose again that I may be justified. Right now, I believe that my sins are forgiven; I’m justified by your blood; I’m born-again; I’m saved; I’m a child of God; I’m free from the power of sin to serve the living God. Thank you Jesus for receiving me; thank you Jesus for restoring me; thank you Jesus for saving me.

Thank God for your soul. I congratulate you for the best decision of your life. For further details on how to grow in this new light, please click the CONTACT page or visit TACN or any bible believing church near you and ask for the pastor in charge.
