What I want us to consider today is the fact that life is a school and that we write examinations from time to time. We all go through tests. Problems and challenges are compulsory examinations that we must write.

Play Your Part – Pastor Adeboye

There was a time that I had something to do and I employed three carpenters. I told myself that I was going to give them a test to see who would eventually do the work, I asked them how much they needed to do the work. The first one said, ₦2,500.00; the second one said ₦2,500.00; and the third one, ₦2,400.00. So I gave each of them ₦3,000.00. I wanted to know the honest one. Of course, two just said, “Thank you sir” and went away and never returned my balance.

What I want us to consider today is the fact that life is a school and that we write examinations from time to time. We all go through tests. Problems and challenges are compulsory examinations that we must write.

There was a time that I had something to do and I employed three carpenters. I told myself that I was going to give them a test to see who would eventually do the work, I asked them how much they needed to do the work. The first one said, ₦2,500.00; the second one said ₦2,500.00; and the third one, ₦2,400.00. So I gave each of them ₦3,000.00. I wanted to know the honest one. Of course, two just said, “Thank you sir” and went away and never returned my balance.

Only one of them came back and said, “Sorry sir, there was a mistake, the money was supposed to be ₦2,500.00, but there was an extra ₦500.00; so I have brought the excess back.” I decided that he would be the permanent worker. The others kept quite and later started complaining that the one to whom I was giving jobs, was not good and that he was bad; he was this and that, whereas, they were the bad, unfaithful and undependable workers. In fact, they were thieves.

So, sometimes when you think you are being clever, you cannot be smarter than the devil. Are you the kind of person who borrows from people and decides not to payback? Some people keep their money in the bank. At times, with ₦40,000.00 in their bank accounts, they would be looking for somebody who would lend them ₦5,000.00. This is simply madness because money has become an idol for such people. They are the money-minded believers who would say: “I want to keep it there to yield interest.” Which interest? When the Bible says, “Owe no man.” Are you tried and tested? You must acquire gold that has been tried in the fire!

What in the world? What has this to do with anything that Jesus Christ really taught us?
