I heard Joel Osteen tell the story of a woman who had a scar on her face, and how she developed a cosmetic that beautifully covered it up. She and her husband devoted their time and resources to marketing the product, but nothing seemed to happen for a long time. The husband created a website to promote it, but no one placed any order for months. Then, an online order came in one day, but when the lady ran to tell her husband the good news, he said, “That’s me testing the site, just to be sure it’s working well.”
Shortly afterwards, there was a fair, where the lady managed to secure a small booth to display her cosmetics. Opposite her was a big booth housing a popular TV Network. A woman who had worked in the station for 17 years walked over to her stand, and said, “I like your product. Would you like to talk about it on our show?” That was the much needed breakthrough. Today, that product is well known in the USA.
Several months after the initial interview, she asked the TV woman, “What made you come to me that day? Why did you help me?” And she answered, “It wasn’t your product or anything. It was as though I heard someone say to me, “Go HELP that lady!” GOD sent her unusual HELP! He’ll do same for you.
Billy Graham was a ‘struggling evangelist’, until a wealthy newspaper publisher and politician, William Randolph Hearst Sr., heard him, and instructed his editors, “Puff Graham!” That marked a significant turning point in Billy Graham’s ministry and reach. The sudden frontpage coverage showered on him by Hearst newspapers was quickly matched by other newspapers and magazines, thereby making the young evangelist an instant ‘celebrity!’ In his autobiography, ‘Just As I Am’, Billy Graham confessed that he never learned why Hearst took an interest in him. “Hearst and I did not meet, talk by phone, or correspond as long as he lived,” Graham wrote. That was GOD sending him unusual HELP. He’ll do much more for you, in JESUS MIGHTY NAME. Trust Him!
I was driving into Ibadan sometime last year when I saw an overhead billboard with the picture of a known face, that I had not seen for over two decades. There he was, a Christian Brother, with a good track record, vying for a senatorial post. Then, I heard in my Inner Man, “Promote him!” I did! And, my little promotion gained him good traction at the University of Ibadan, and other areas where I had some influence.
Point is: GOD CAN RAISE HELP FOR YOU FROM PEOPLE, AND PLACES, THAT YOU’RE NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT! I TESTIFY OF THAT KIND OF HELP CONCERNING JUST JESUS FOUNDATION AND RIGHT MINDS OUTREACHES TO THE MENTALLY CHALLENGED ON THE STREETS OF IBADAN, AND STUDENTS IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS. JUST TRUST IN THE LORD, KEEP DOING GOOD, AND YOU’LL BE TESTIFYING OF UNUSUAL HELP/FAVOUR, THE REST OF 2024, IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.AMEN!
SHALOM.
